It's kinda nice to have this sort of problem now. First time I can recall where there is legitimate arguments for different guys in the starting 11 as well as for who makes an A team roster. I think it's clear we have more talent right now than ever before which is great.

Stu hasn't performed well enough to warrant inclusion in our full starting 11 A-Team. If he recovers the form he had prior to his injury, it actually becomes a valid talking point. Which even then is a bit ridiculous, because in his prime form he was playing in more of a Jones/Bradley/Cameron role, not as a CAM number 10.


So it's more of Stu doesn't fit the role at CAM and Dempsey is our best option, more than Dempsey isn't as good on the left?

So this line of thought could lead to someone like Corona finding a way into some PT at CAM and battling Zusi and FJ for that last midfield spot?

He is more in the role of Bradley than Jones/Cameron in that he is really a box to box midfielder. His game is solid - he's a great tackler, very intelligent, and has superb touch and passing. He's not going to really beat you on the dribble, but he's very good at moving the ball forward.

Fair point in regards to Cameron. Jones is "box to box" too, imo.
