The other option would have been to go to a 4-5-1 and have Cole behind the lone striker but who would have that striker been? Crouch? Pav? Then what do we do with Defoe and Keane?
How it's looking:
Gomes
Corluka King Dawson BAE
Lennon Hudd Modric Bale
Defoe (New #9??)

We'll also have Krannjcar coming back to play down the left side as well. I wouldn't mind having another skilled midfielder to play in case Modric goes down, but I'm more concerned about having an elite striker.
