Honestly, if it were up to me, I'd start him. But I'd also start Marrone. Sucks having so many midfielders. We can pull a Barca, play a 3-7 or something.
seeing as how we are truly stacked with good midfielers, and WC potential midfielders (and some indeed already WC), I think selling one of them at such high value (we're talking about 50 million here) isn't going to hurt us, in fact with 50 million we should be able to buy 1 or 2 WC strikers, something we desperately need.
