I think Okore will start, but the rest are squad players.

If I'd seen ANY of the new signings play before I may have included them. However I havent so I can't. It's up to each of them to win the jersey. Luna should be ok unless he's terrible

With you there eastie. Think Bacuna will be a tough tackling MF but will be able to do a lot more on the ball than anyone else we currently have. Also I am so hoping Luna is going to surprise a few of us ......

Not sure how you can put players like Luna straight into our starting XI. Difficult to imagine I know, but he comes from a collective defence worse than ours from last season.

I think the only players almost guaranteed of a start if all remains the same are Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Westwood, Delph?, Benteke and maybe Gabby. Is good that players have to fight for their places, I think Sylla will continue to improve, Bennett will as well and Weimann has to continue to progress and he seems to have the right attitude. Will be good to see the new signings and am sure there will be a couple of gems at least.

I think Lambert Is trying to get 2 players jostling for each position.
A simple yet healthy and effective policy. Also without any prima donas couldn't give a fuck type players around, just lads who want to play and improve.
Good model.

We have a fair number of pre season games and it will be interesting to see how the new lads settle in - last summer lambert introduced several players who hadn't played in the premiership and i daresay if they impress and stake a claim in pre season then he will have no qualms about putting new signings in from the start- it will be an interesting pre season.

Not sure where to post this... as I dont think he will be part of the starting 11 but carruthers looked a good prospect a few seasons ago...

Do you think he will get a chance?

The pre season will decide on which formation and players Lambert decides to use. The only cast iron certainties are Guzan, Westwood and Lowton.

Benteke may not be with us....or hopefully he will be.

I felt he should get a chance last season but lambert didnt give him a go - probably less likely this season as we seem to have a few players ahead of him.

Good point, I think you could put Gary Gardner in this category too.

After the way Sylla finished last season I would be very surprised if anyone is ahead of him at the start of next.
