. Pepe Johnson - Carra - Agger - Bastos Milner - Gerrard - Mash - Turan Pavlyuchenko - Torres Subs - GK?, Kelly, Ayala, Skrtel, Insua, Kuyt, Aqua, Pacheco, Wilson, Jovanovic Buy - Bastos (12) , Milner (10)Turan (15), Pavlyuchenko (10) Total 47 mil Sell - Yossi (10), Riera (6), El Zhar (3), Degen (3), N'gog (4), Aurelio (0), Babel (10), Lucas (5) Total 41 mil This should get us back into the top 4 and with new owners realistic coming after the league has begun we wont be able to be title challengers until next season with another 50 mil spend on players.
hahah Mate, there is no chance in hell of us getting Milner for a start..He was player of the season for Villa and why would they let their best player move to one of their rivals for 4th spot next season. Bastos is quality and i cant see him leaving.He only signed last July for Lyon and he was a big money signing of 18 mill..So thats another NO NO.. As for Pav, he is a moody, fcuker and i dont believe he is a team player.He plays for himself and when he is not in the team he or his agent is contantsly in the media looking for moves to other countries and clubs. Turan-Yes id love to see this Kid play for his..He is qaulity of the highest order and he is the best player to come out of Turkey in a long time..Also he said before he would like to move to us..But i dont think he will come on the cheap which effectively rules us out of the race..
Im not saying i wouldnt love those players, and ive said earlier in the season, we missed the boat big time with Milner, but there is no chance in Hell Martin o Neil would let him leave.. I think the team next season, could be alot of what we have got this season, with a few free transfer and a couple of young kids such as Jonjo and Danny Wilson thrown in there..
Who is paying that money for Benni, Ngog, Degen and El Zhar! Even 6 for Riera is a stretch Reminds me of last season when people thought we would get 10 for Arbeloa! Have to be realistic on these ones.
Reina Glen Cara Agger Insua Masch Aquilani Babel Gerrard Jovanovic Torres Rafa will bring in a left back with Aurelio more than likely going ..
That but Maxi instead of Babel! Would be looking to offload Babel if Rafa can spend the money from his sale. Obviously would like better players but with no money no better players.
Reina Johnson Carra Agger ? Maxi Aqua Mash ? Gerrard Torres (Hopefully) Subs: Kuyt Ngog Skrtel Lucas Insua Pacheco Kryiagos & a goalie Out: Hicks & Gillette In: Manager: Rafa
Sell: The greek 1.5m, El Zhar free, Riera 5-6m, Degen free, San Jose 3m Buy: left back, winger and back up striker, dont know what left back, winger maybe the young dutch guy Eljero Ella, striker wud have to be sum1 who is suited to playin up front on their own if/when torres is injured, Pavlyuchenko wudnt be a bad buy.
Where'd Maxi disappear off to? It'd be a nice team but you've undervalued Milner coming in and overvalued Yossi and El Zhar going out. The biggest problem with this is that you're bringing in 4 and letting 8 leave which would deplete the squad to its bare bones. With Maxi there I see no reason for bringing in a new right mid and I'd keep Babel because with him Riera and Yossi gone there's no cover on the left. Don't know much about Bastos but Vargas from Fiorentina wouldn't be a bad buy either. Pav isn't a bad shout for a back up striker as there's not many who are willing to sit on the bench behind Torres but can perform when called upon.
All I know is that we need a left back and a striker. Can't be doing with another season of Insua getting ripped apart.
thats all we will bring in and thats the money gone Hopefully only on till January ( Come on NEW owners)
