I really cannot see McGinn being a regular starter for the rest of the season if Asensio starts well

Whatever you think out best 11 is, if everyone was fit our second 11 isn't too shabby.

I’ve a hunch that he will be our Milner whereby Emery will want his personality in the team even if he’s not the best player.

These are the kinds of signings that help keep the likes of Martinez at the club. Even if we fall short it won't be because we don't have great players trying to get us to where we want to be. We are in the last 16 of the CL, FA Cup 4th Rd, and only 6 points off 4th in the league with 14 games to go. All to play for and a solid squad of players to help us get there. Especially when some of the injured start to get back to full fitness.

Agreed, I reckon our 2nd XI right now would be the basis for a squad that would be challenging for the top half of the league.

Still questionable who can do our right side (RB, RW) able to function good enough.

Disagree, we are almost always a better team with McGinn.
You can not underestimate his desire and passion, it makes those around him up their game.

           Martinez
Konsa Diasi Pau Digne
        Onana Kamara
Rashford Rogers Ramsey
          Watkins

The reality is that there will always be injuries and a few players are interchangeable and others provide new options to switch it up a bit.

We have a few weeks with only one match so hopefully some players can recover and Emery can work some magic to integrate the newbies and sort the defense.

Konsa at RB, nurse!!

That, I think, is the key to us having a better second half of the season.  Our bench has been absolutely threadbare in the last few weeks - but now it doesn't really matter who starts in any given game, we're going to have a couple of REALLY good attacking options from the bench to change things up a bit.  You would HOPE it would mean we can keep players a bit fresher, too. 

We're probably going to have at least two of Rashford, Asensio, Malen, Bailey, or Watkins on the bench.

I have an ominous feeling, like when Spider told Tommy to go fuck himself.

I doubt most people would have McGinn in their best 11 now were everyone fit.

Fair enough, I don't see it with all the new attacking players at all.

Right now I would have him ahead of Onana
      Emi
Konsa Disasi Mings Digne
     Kamara SJM
Rogers Acensio Ramsey
           Watkins
Then form / injury gives Emery decisions to make
Malen Rashford Onana Torres BaileyMaatsen Tielemans

Hell of a bench.
