In response to Redman, I think we need wingers to feed Darren Bent. Could we play a classy number 10 and Darren Bent? Would the classy number 10 do enough tracking back to account for Bent's tendency to hang around looking for a goal?
I think the premiership has changed a lot since the days of the Wing back and the 'player in the hole'. I loved Merson, Carbone etc but the pace seems different now, the most successful teams seem to use the 4-5-1/4-3-3 model.
