In general, Cabaye and Luka are better players to have in central midfield. I'd be tempted to put him behind Benteke and drop RLC, maybe (it's more likely Andros would be dropped, but we want a CM option from the bench).

Best box to box midfielder we have and the eye for a goal makes him our Lampard, (although not quite as prolific). He needs to play against Leicester. As someone has already posted, either Andros or RLC should make way initially, probably coming on as impact player(s).

Pardew commented that McArthur was the most conscientious footballers you can get and that he lived and breathed the game.

Watch when the game stops for a minute or so and he will always be the first or only player to go round talking to others whilst most of our 'leaders' stand there, hands on hips and the opposition are all communicating.

Players should know by 10 that too long with hands on hips is time wasted.

Out of contract next summer. Could sign pre contract agreement to leave in January to go in summer for free. Has said previous would love to play for Rangers his childhood favourite club on day. Need to offer an extention soon and tie him down.

Rangers don't have the money to better or even match what we pay him so I would reckon he would extend his contract for the same terms
