I for one am pleased even if Davies has been mostly terrible. Probably worse overall player than Rose. Hopefully he has improved some. Darmian really tough matchup if setup at all.
Rose was our player of the season last season if you go by players not called HURRIKANE
If Levy doesn't buy another striker, well it's curtains for us. We ran even hotter than Man U last season (ev about 8th-9th) Kane's miracle 6th months isn't happening again.
Before reports about it happening over and over in pre-season I really didn't envision Carrick and Schneiderlin playing in midfield tandem together. Even non-peak-form Schweini with Carrick feels like a stretch if you don't want too much of the same in midfield but let's see what exactly Schneiderlin is expected to do and can do with Carrick.
Feels like a Redknapp move where you play players OOP to highlight how much you need new signings, even though you have at least 2 players who can play in there.
