Looking through our squad once again I think we've got great depth in key areas.
But I was wondering what you guys thought about the temperament around the players that will in all likelihood spend most of the season on the bench.
We have:
Lindegaard
Kuszczak
Amos
Fabio
Smalling
Jones
Evans
Gibson(cough)
Cleverley
Nani
Welbeck
Berba
Owen
Machada
Who if our main team stay fit are unlikely to get as many games as they'd like.
Who do you think in our squad may get itchy feet?

I would say Fabio is ahead of rafael now due to rafs constant picking up of injuries.. smalling will also be involved in most games this season imo, especially with oshea moving on, smalling has looked good at RB.
Why is Nani even in that list??
SAF has said Cleverly will be given his chance this season.
Remember, its very much a squad effort for us, everyone rests at some point, SAF has it covered

I put Nani in because even though he will play a lot I think Fergie will be play Valencia and Young a lot too.
Especially in the big games and champions league.
And Nani strikes me as someone who wouldn't be happy sitting on the bench.

I doubt Nani will get less games than previous seasons though, and he has never seemed unhappy in the past.
Although he has gotten older now and been with us a long time so may expect to be one of the first on the team sheet in the future.. Time will tell.. i hope he keeps his consistency going =D

Nani had the most appearances last season - I think he will be a key player this season too.
