First 8 games (back 3/5) = F8 A9 Next 11 (back 4) = F13 A20 This is perhaps making things too simple, (not accounting for opposition and lots more) but you can see that maybe they wanted to open up and try to score more as they weren't...

Only result-wise, don't know about tactically. Defence is looking mean so far. Lots of 0-0, 1-0, 0-1 kind of scorelines before managing to score 4 the other week. Lost 3 of the last 4 in all comps which isn't good but one of those was the FA...

Signed the same summer, not exactly sure who was first. De Gea was confirmed on 29 June 2011. Jones was announced earlier, on 13 June but he was away with England U-21 at the same tournament De Gea was at with Spain U-21. Jones was said to be...

Does he beat Lingard? Thought he was here when he was about 10 years old.

Shame he missed out on a testimonial.

Newcastle

Juve or Inter would take him then if history is anything to go by.

City. They're Spain from 2010.

Matthew Taylor, George Boateng, Luke Young, David Unsworth, Chris Perry, Steve Watson, Kevin Campbell, Paul Telfer, Ian Walker, Alan Wright, Luis Boa Morte, Gavin McCann, Wayne Routledge Just pulling names I don't think were mentioned yet off...

Rufus Brevett, Steve Lomas, Linvoy Primus, Matt Elliott (my standards are dropping with each post I make)

Steven Davis, Nathan Redmond, Andros Townsend, Winston Reid, Steve Stone, Robbie Savage, Sebastian Larsson

O'Shea, Brown, Butt, Phil Neville? Edit: No didn't read the full OP at first before anyone asks! "Not good enough to play for a top side" so it rules them out. Mind you, solid players in lesser teams probably could be squaddies in better teams...

These too good or do they fit the criteria? Joleon Lescott, Gareth Southgate, Ugo Ehiogu, Dave Watson, Sylvain Distin. Could do a whole list of central defenders like that. Sort of tier 2 club, fighting for Europe, certainly good, possibly an...
