I'll go for: Messi kaka Drogba Ferdinand Gattuso Rooney I didn't go gor Ronaldo because he's a bit of a cheat and exaggerates fouls which is a pet hate of mine, you could accuse Drogba of that but he has cut it out of his game just about!!

I don't think Tiago is that great a player, he's not the next step up is he? We should be looking to improve the sqaud rather than fill it out with the same level of competence...

futuristic droid put on earth to confuse minions on web forums...

4 class players (cb, cb, dm, am) 4 squad players & two promises for the future (but who would still get into the team)

In order of priority: Centre Back/s Creative "all rounder" centre midfield Defensive midfielder Cover for wing backs Striker (youngster/up and coming) Left winger (assuming zog goes)

If the lad's unhappy up north then let him go to his family, just make sure we don't get taken to the cleaners by some Del Boy!!

This answer to this thread is really simple and has already been confirmed by Keegan: -If he wants to go, then at the right price only! -If he wants to stay, then it's time to buckle down and win your place in the team.

If Portsmouth have their wingers stay high up the pitch it will make it difficult for Beye and Enrique to bombard their box from forward positions. I think Harry will have two holding midfielders and two wingers to try and counter our 4-3-3, we will therefore have to play cutely through the middle where we should out man them... Difficult game, will listen to it on the radio. I also think the first goal will help a lot, but with our new found faith and Keegan's mantra of we'll score more it shouldn't really worry us if they do!! 2-2 Owen & barton

Man Utd have the best marketing image in world football, revenue maker, the best creative player and probably the player with the best immediate future in the world. Why on earth would they want to sell that? Even for 100 million... he'd probably ake that for them in 3 - 4 years, which brand wants it's label on Ronaldo's shirt? All of 'em!!

Portsmouth are a solid side, we'll be lucky if we carry on our run. TBH this will be our litmus test to see how far Keegan has taken the team in terms of tactics and confidence, this season we should be as good as a side like portsmouth. 2-2 for me.

He doesn't seem to know that people are different, some like to be led, others like to lead, some like to be petted others like to be bossed...etc...etc..etc. not everyone is like you Mr Bentley!!!

He has hardly started any games for Madrid...

The reason why most muslims don't go to a football stadium in england is because of the Alcohol being sold there. The Koran states that "intoxicants" are forbidden and depending on how liberal your interpretation of the Koran is you may feel that being in a place that serves alcohol is also bad muslim practice. Most muslims accept that they will come into contact with and use establishments (hotels/aeroplanes...etc) which serve alcohol but this does not make them consume it, more conservative/radical interpretations would consider these places to be very unsuitable... I think Villa was doing the right thing but went about it in the wrong way i.e. separation. They should have mixed them with the normal fans and the result would have been the same... Most wouldn't have gone to the bar at half time so there wouldn't be a problem. The moment we start to segregate is the moment we'll have problems

Nicky Butt (on present form)

Point taken. I suppose the price would have to be right as he is only a short term solution (2, possibly three years), 7-9 million euros... I would take Bentley aswell but I think he wants to get into the top four re his comments

Don't want to be too pedantic but I've noticed the phrases "getting Bummed" and "bummed in the face" a lot when referring to a possible rout. I suppose getting bummed is straightforward to understand (penis - bumhole action) but being "bummed in the face" raises a giggle as I conjure images of some "person" frotting/rubbing their dirty "sheriffs badge" over the opposing managers face??? Please correct me if I'm wrong!! P.S. Wouldn't surprise me if a few managers would like to be bummed in the face (Paul Jewell, Taggart - that would be great wouldn't it!!).

What's a party helicopter? Sounds blooody ace whatever goes on inside it!!

All out to keep Owen and Martins, get another striker for when Owen gets injured again...

Rather have Deco. Every big team has someone who knows how to dictate the pace of a game; when to slow it down and when to go all out attack etc. The man has bags of experience at the highest level and would walk into just about any team. Bentley has had a great season, what if he's a one season wonder? is he going to develop? Deco: guaranteed Bentley: nearly!

Must be close to thirty... Yes confirmed 29!

The only people we could realistically take from Barca would be Gudjonsson and Marquez... Deco would be a dream, Henry would be like a "threesome with the last two missworlds"...

Henry: Totally unrealistic, huge step down for him. If the noises from Barca are that they will sell there will undoubtably be other suitors which match his pretensions (valid or not!!).

From Spain I'd go for: -Diarra (Madrid), not getting a game in madrid and is a tough holding midfielder. Doesn't shine so much for Madrid as they've got excellent creative players but is a decent all rounder. -Rafael marquez (Barca), another who isn't getting his game. No nonsense centre back who can pass a ball, can play as right back aswell. -Deco (Barca), another out of favour, great all rounder in the middle, rarely loses the ball and seems to always be in the right place toi pick it up again. -Gudjonsson (Barca). We all know what he can do, isn't doing well out in Spain... -Zigic (Valencia), giant forward who is also very skillful, can't seem to break into the valencia team and has his problems with Koeman. -Maxi Rodriguez (Atletico Madrid), unrealistic signing as this is the main man in Atletico.Box to box midfielder and probably the best of the argentinians at this moment... -Poulson (sevilla), very tough defensive midfielder, also knows how to pass a ball, seville's unsung hero. -Fabiano (sevilla), goal machine. Could he adapt to the prem? would he take a step down? Just a few... There are loads out there and if Keegan is dreaming, then so am I !!!!!!

I don't want to put a dampner on things but Deco is not a "ccreative" midfielder in the mould of the zidanes/kakas of this world, his is more a mix of the two midfield gingas Butt & scholes, nothing fancy just does his job very well, perhaps a little more creative than Makalele whilst sacrificing a smidgeon of defensive talent...

I reckon it'll be 500 - 0 Sorry, didn't forget the hype!
