can't see us playing 4-3-3 because carew is not the right man to be the main striker
It works if you have someone like drogba or bent, players who can hold the ball up but also score you plenty of goals. I think Carew is a fantastic player but i don't think he is an out and out goal scorer and for us to do well we need a goal scorer to partner carew.
I can't see us playing 3-5-2 because i don't think we have the players that can do the wing back job.
I think our best formation is 4-4-2
We can partner carew with a goal scorer
If we sign swp he can play on the right and young on the left, with nrc and barry to play in the middle. We also have flexible options if players perform poorly or get injured, petrov and gardner can come into the middle, barry can go out wide, young can play either flank and we also have berger and maloney also who can play out wide.
hopefully we will see
a rb
a cb
swp
a cf
possibly a keeper as well.
