Don't know anything about him really, so googled him. He's a winger? Not wishing to be too negative or keep harping on about it or anything, and correct me if i'm wrong, but that means we have, by my reckoning, two strikers? One of who is Zamora and the other whose arm falls off periodically.
Hmmm.
At least it puts to rest my fear that Charlie wouldn't get much of a chance this year.
Fingers crossed we don't get any injuries at full back or up front. Not easy to stay in the premier league, definitely not easy with Karl Henry at right back and Matty Phillips as centre forward.
Still, nobody could possible have expected a gent like Remy to leave us  and nobody could have predicted Simpson would sell himself
Never mind, if all else fails, at least we're sponsored by Nike. |  | | |  |

He can play either on the wings or upfront. He played up top for Chile in the World Cup, and was very good. Scored against Spain and all. I believe he's played on the wings for his club sides in the last couple of years which explains the disparity between his club and international goalscoring records. | | | |

From Wiki:
Eduardo Jesús Vargas Rojas (Spanish pronunciation: [eˈðwarðo ˈβaɾɣas]; born 20 November 1989) is a Chilean footballer signed by Queens Park Rangers on loan from Napoli. Mainly a forward, he can also play as a winger.

Plus Nedum is evidently cover for right back so it will take a couple of injuries before we see Karl Henry there. |  | | |

Arry said he can play up top, number 10 or either side. Top top player. |  | | |

We've got 4 people who can play the lone front man role plus another 4 who can play in behind the forward. If we get injuries we have a youth team as well we can call on |  | | |

Thierry Henry played a fair bit as a winger, as does Raheem Sterling. I'd be a bit more worried if it said he was a centre back. |  | | |

As said by others, he plays more up front for his rather splendid international team, where he has pretty much a 1 in 2 scoring record. If we continue with this 4-3-3 thingumajig (before Arry gets bored again) then he'll be grand playing either side of Charlie.
On a side note, if we do persist with 4-3-3 I don't see why Barton should get a game rly after we spent a pretty penny bringing in three other and better CMs. |  |

I said CMs if you read it. And if it needs spelling out, they are Fer, Sandro and Mutch | |

Probably because he was our second best player against Sunderland imo. |  | | |

and you would play those three in a 433, despite JB being our best player so far this season and one of our best last season? | | | |

One of our best last season? While I'll grant you he wasn't as shite as the previous 2 years, there were a few ahead of him in the pecking order. Green, Austin, Dunne, Simpson to name but four.
Maybe, if he recognised his limits and attempted simple 5 yard passes and let someone else take all our freekicks and corners then he'd be a better player. Instead he either hits the first man every time or floats harmless balls into the area from corners, and consistently finds the crowd with his Hollywood raking 'passes'. FaurlÃn he ain't. | |

Ok Dave, I need some help with that one. Charlie (when fit), BZ (for 30 mins, when fit), Vargas (isn't very tall) and ?

The thing with Barton, and I know I have said this before, is that I don't actually think HE is that good a player, not bad but nowhere near as good as he thinks he is. However I think as a team we play better when he's on the pitch. Whatever you want to say about him when he is on that field he is committed and doesnt hide, he also drives othjers on, geeing them up and being vocal. This is important and it's for that reason I would also include him in the first 11, despite others actually having more ability |  |

I think we are set up for a diamond midfield.
Green
Isla Ferdinand Caulker Yun/Traore
Sandro
Barton Mutch
Fer
Austin Vargas
Width provided by the full backs. Sandro sitting and protecting the two CB's.
There can be movement in that formation. Mutch/Fer/Barton can swap places during games. Even though Barton's dead ball set plays can be very suspect he does cross a good moving ball. If the full backs are attacking then covered can be provided by Barton and Mutch dropping back a bit with Sandro.
I believe Vargas is a 'busy' hard working player and so is Austin so they helps when trying to defend from the front. Hoillett and Phillips to come of the bench or if we need more pace, hoillett can come into the '10' role and Fer drops back a bit [Post edited 5 Sep 2014 14:15]

I appreciate you're an optimist, but we haven't got 4 strikers,unless you mean Taarabt, who is obviously more of a Plan D | |

well yeah he is a plan d, thats why he is 4th choice. I'd rather we had another forward but we've got options | | | |

I agree, funnily. I think we will be fine, at least until January. If Austin get's injured we will struggle but that's the same with any clubs first choice striker, unless you're a Man City or Chelscum that can afford so much depth, which we are not.
We still only have 3 strikers though, plus another 1-2 players that can play up top if we're really stuck. | |

The OP is quite funny if you read it to yourself in a Julian Clarey voice.
He's not far wrong tho about selling Simpson and not getting another striker.

Charlie is no more injury prone than any other player. he fell down and hurt himself. That happens. He also scored 20 times in a shortened season. And, obiously, Vargas is also a striker.
I actually think it is good that he also has a bit of winger in him. It provides some additional width if necessary. So it seems like a midfield four of Barton, Mutch, Sadros and Fer makes sens as our best midfielders. However, there is precious little width in that foursome. So, having Vargas up front, he has the option to pull out wide and provide width in the attacking third. |  |
