Let's assume we play 60 games next season, and also let's assume we play half of them with a 4 man midfield, and half with 5 (a realistic assumption IMO). That means there's 150 spaces in central midfield over the course of the season, surely that's enough to keep all 4 happy?
A new winger won't mean Gerrard will never play on the right either. Rightly or wrongly, Rafa feels that is the best option sometimes, usually when we need someone with better defensive skills out there. Whoever we bring in, I'm sure they will be brought here for their ability to take on a man, get a cross in, and score a few too. This will still leave Gerrard as his preferred option when he wants more protection for the full back.
All in all I feel there will be enough opportunities for all 4 through the season, and we will need all of them to push for the title.
