Sounds all to familiar maybe we're going to sign ronaldo, rivaldo and ronaldinho again. Sounds like some journo's been scouring the old teletext to me.

Smallest midfeild ever.

Cole at chelsea has had his natural attacking game stifled some what and has looked a touch dodgy at times in his newly enforced defencive mode, bridge is far more suited in this role and as such has looked far more composed and to be honest much the better player. I reckon he would certinaly fit Sams defencive fullback ideas but nouts concrete prising him away is gunna take summit and all.

Regardless of whether this is true or not i reckon big Sam will have a fair amount of player pulling power certainly eclipsing that of Roeder and debatably over many of our main “rivals” in recruiting players. So a fair few surprises may crop up down the line Wayne Bridge would be a hell of a buy like shits all over most left backs including Cole this season

Riquelme imo would fit very well into a three man midfield with two busier plays doing his dirty work, he is notably lazy at times and perhaps not what we really need i wouldn't mind a real midfeild destroyer with some decent presence add a bit of height and stature to our team must admit our midfield is a bit on the short side bordering on dwafrism some might say!
