I know the season is just over but I like to think about Formations and possible line ups for the season ahead, so with that in mind here goes.
We must ditch the two holding midfielders and go more authordox One holding Three man Midfield. I'd like to see us line up something like this:
--------------------Howard--------------------
-------------Stones------Jagielka----------
Coleman-------McCarthy--------Baines
-----------Barkley--------Cleverley--------
Deulofeu--------Lukaku--------Mirallas or Lennon
I hope the rumours are true that Young Gerard's Agent is in town. Potentially, signing of the summer. If we could get a decent back up Centre Half and a replacement for Howard I'd be over the moon.
My Line up for first game

Imagine if it was:
Gibson Barry Cleverly
I'd take it at Leeds obviously...but not if we were a decent championship side or a prem side...but we aren't so yeah I'd be over the moon with it actually

Gibson has been brilliant whenever he's played unfortunately he's injured 90% of the time
Barry was comparatively poor this season compared to last (particularity during the winter run of games when McCarthy was injured) but he's not a bad player

It will be nothing like that I'm sure.
Mirallas won't be at the club, Lennon depending on the fee Spurs want.
Barry will still start, McCarthy will have lots of people interested in him as will Stones.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Baines in midfield given the talk Martinez gave last year and Garbutt to be LB

Would like to see more of besic as well. The previous seasons tactics of Barry and mccarthy in a deep midfield duo worked to good effect but not so much last season. I think we need to add quality & pace out wide.

Has Garbutt even signed a contract yet? Hopefully he will stay but doesn't look likely yet (not a question for Arouna as he won't be able to answer me)

McCarthy has refused new terms and wants away from Goodison.

Where has he said this? I would be surprised for him to come out so early and say this, if he doesn't leave now he will have fans in his back at the start of the season

It was featured and reported upon by Alan Brazil and TalkSport news all morning.
Seems odd but there you are. Thats all i know.
We will have to wait and see.

A reputable source then. I will love to see how the fans get on his back after indicating he wants to go
