Raul is staying for sure as he said, not sure why these rumours keep circulating and you guys keep circulating them.

Ok midfield:
Holders: Lucas, Spearing? Poulsen (might go, but seems staying as backup).
Attack: Stevie, Adam, Raul, AA (seems staying), Henderson, Shelvey (backup)
Wing: Maxi, Kuyt, Cole (might go?), Downing

Some points:
There's a lot of flexibility in the midfield except for some individuals, egs Stevie, Raul, Henderson, Downing (both sides), Cole.

Some of the players bought like Henderson are clearly meant as understudy and may not walk into the first team.

We need depth. Pls be gone the days when we had kids and jokers on the bench. We should have a bench that frightens the shit out of the opponents and gets ooh aah from pundits.

This suggests, 4-5 first team, 3-4 bench. Overloaded midfield, I think not?

I'm sure Kenny has plans for defenders and even a striker. We won't look so middle heavy then.
