I think he's nailed on for it if he progress's like he has and he stays with us - and as a boyhood Chelsea fan I don't see why he'd leave!

I’d have the first side you put up Brum, only I’d give RLC the armband for now.

I'd be ok with that Randy, although I have a feeling that James is a future captain in the making!
If Cmf says Tomori has to go on loan again though, he can feck off!
That team genuinely doesn't look too bad at all. It'd definitely be in the bottom half of the PL but I reckon it would avoid relegation.

Which would you prefer mini, the three at the back or four!
Just had to make a slight clarification amendment, I meant Charlie Brown rather than Izzy, who I've not seen for a while now. I believe he's been injured.

Back four for me. We look a bit light in midfield with the back three.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
That was my thought; with 5 at the back it gave me a chance to bring Sterling in at RB, move James into the middle, however it then left we with no room for Ampadu, who I'd really like to see in the team, so yeah, I'd prefer the four myself.
Can I be a Player/ Manager Brum?
It won't help the team at all but I wouldn't mind before I pop off the perch 😂

I was there as 15 year old in 74 - but I've just had to be strict with myself!
We could both go on the bench though - for experience!
Fair enough.
In all seriousness though this transfer ban could actually be a blessing in disguise. I personally would like to see if the likes of Tammy and Reece have got the minerals or not and I suppose the only way that they are gna get that chance is if it is physically forced onto us.
Bulka
James fikayo t chalobah da silva
Rlc baker mount
Musonda Tino

I did consider Trev Chalobah LO but not having seen Ipswich this season to see how he's getting on, I decided against, especially as defenders, we're actually spoilt for.
No CHO for you then?
3-1-4-2
Bulka
Alna-James-Christensen(c)-Tomari-Dasilva
Ampadu
RLC-Mount
CHO-Abraham
Conte's Juventus style system. Built for Christensen (whose best in a back 3), Loftus Cheek & Mount (who as a partnership need a defensive screen). It's also a system built to stonewall which, lets face it, we'd be doing a lot of with this hypothetical squad.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
He s upset me that much, i forgot him, drop Tino back and bring in Cho for baker,
T chalobah looks a player, seen a few ipswich games(highlight on you tube) and i like him, versatile too
I find the 3atb formations interesting, probably suits all our full backs a bit more than normal full back other than James;
Bułka
James Christensen Tomori
Aina Mount Ampadu RLC Dasilva
Abraham CHO?
Just realised this is the same as HHBF’s team lol, I guess the only one it doesn’t really suit is CHO
If we did 4atb:
Bułka
Aina Christensen Tomori Dasilva
James Ampadu Mount
CHO Abraham RLC
A bit of shuffling about with RLC wing and James at CM. For the record I hope we develop both in their ‘natural’ positions but especially with RLC I also liked him as a winger tbh, his dribbling in general is just suited to advanced areas. This way able to get all our most senior and experienced young players on the pitch in positions they roughly know.
I also prefer Ampadu at CB but like others Mount and RLC have to be in the team and he is best option for DM.
On Trev: I believe he’s had kind of an ok debut season with Ipswich. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, high learning curve - similar type of loan that Tomori and Aina had at first in the Championship. Recently he’s been on bench more often than not.
I’m still a bit disappointed he went somewhere where he’d be played as a DM, to me his skillset seems much more suited to CB, but could still help his future development. I see a lot of comments that his passing is inconsistent but I’ve watched him 2-3 times, his agility/mobility on the ball surprised me and he is a good ball winner. Reminded me a bit of Wanyama. Should aim for a much improved championship loan next season

Some interesting points BK. The reason I didn't have James and Ampadu in midfield was I thought it might not be attacking enough. Although James does like to get forward a bit and seems to have the capacity to play anywhere, his natural position is as a defender so went with that. Just seemed a little more balanced to me.
Is HHBF now Devil DA?
