The Prophet Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 ...for a boring sunday afternoon. The deal is we've just been promoted, Ashley has given you a limited £10 million budget plus anthing you make off player sales. What would the side look like going into the opening day of the season?

Guest Heneage Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Are we assuming we've signed Simpson, and let Harewood/Zurab go? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Release Butt and Geremi. Sell Nolan and Ameobi and give Barton for free Ring Willie Mac and sign some BLACK POWER from France! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 ..............................Harper......................... Simpson.......Campbell..........Taylor...........Jose Cleverley....MBai..........Guthrie...........Jonas ..................Vela...............Ameobi................ Smith Nolan Ranger Loven Taylor Pancrate Krul Sales Colo 5m Carroll 3m Incoming MBai - 7mil Vela - 7mil Cleverley - 4mil Should be enough to keep us up but it will be tight! I think it is going to take 30mil + player sales to guarantee safety! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Are we assuming we've signed Simpson, and let Harewood/Zurab go? Why not? Butt and Germi could fuck off for a start and I'd have Pancrate signed up for a couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I can't be arsed to do this in great detail, my team would somehow look like this: Harper Simpson Colo Taylor Enrique Pancrate Smith Larsson Boyd Loven Ameobi and we would probably come straigh back down. You will REALLY struggle to get a half decent striker these days for >£10m imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delima Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Harper Simpson, Colo, Taylor, Enrique Pancrate, Barton, Jonas Sell Nolan - 5M Sell Smith - 5M Sell Ameobi - 2M Sell Barton 22M for 1 starting central midfielders, 2 starting strikers, and quite a few back ups ? I would raid Man U, Arsenal and Chelsea for loan players. Premiership and our status as a "big club" - I think Newcastle United are very appealing loan destinations for promising youngsters. Zoran Tošić, Danny Welbeck, Gabriel Obertan, Darron Gibson, Tom Cleverley Jack Wilshere, Fran Merida Michael Mancienne, Miroslav Stoch etc I can't instantly think of any 10M rated players who have got me thinking "that's what we need" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I've adjusted to the Championship mentality too quickly. £5m seems like a lot, but he can (apparently) get you goals (at this level). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I would try for Carlos Vela for 2 reasons: He has a lot of competition for his position at Arsenal so there may be a chance he would come, he would be my break the bank & go out & get him signing. Would be even bettter if Arsenal did not get in CL next season as they would have to flog a few players. The 2nd reason he was good on FM a few years back.

Thespence Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Zoran Tošić, Danny Welbeck, Gabriel Obertan, Darron Gibson, Tom Cleverley Jack Wilshere, Fran Merida All of the above are part of there teams 1st squad bar Tosic & Cleverley so there is no chance of them getting dished out. As for Cleverley looked nowt special yesteday so would have to see more of him. Tosic saw him play in a international junior comp, a few times for Man Utd & once V Liverpool 2nd XI & he has yet to impress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Vela won't be leaving Arsenal just yet. He's getting some airtime right now with all the injuries that lot seems to have. I also think he's not going to make it at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 By my count we need at least 6 if we come up. A centre half- regardless of if we sign one in Jan. A centre midfielder Right winger Left winger 2 X Forwards I would only let Butt and Geremi go, who are out of contract anyway. So 10m for 6 players isn't going to stretch too far. Centre mid and a forward would be musts with the other supplemented by loans and frees. It'll be a long season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they miss out on CL the sales will start of course nee one has given Arsenal more money than Barca so it would no doubt be a big cheque for Cesc from Barca to sort out the cash flow problem.

Village Idiot Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Your better shout is to cannibalize a relegated side, really. If Pompey goes down (they are getting better, but all the off-the-field problems will get to them at the end) I'd certainly get Boateng at least. I reckon Tal Ben Haim and Hreidarsson would be useful backups too (Haim can play LB too, if I recall correctly). Belhadj I'm not so sure but worth a shout I guess. If Hull ends up going under, Hunt is a canny left winger. Bullard has shit fitness, sadly, but he's England material when he's healthy. I wouldn't touch anything else from them with a barge pole. As said, Milijas from Wolves looks very good. I rate Doyle too, but he's not that good to justify a probable 8m+ pricetag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how they would miss out on CL qualification though, they look fine for that this year. And I agree regarding Cesc. It wold be a blow to them, though.

Appreciate what you are saying thespence, however you don't get if you don't ask. And Tosic and Cleverley have potentials, so at the very least better than other proven shites.

Let's just say Wolves, Bolton and Portsmouth go down. Nenad Milijas, Christophe Berra, kevin doyle Gary Cahill, Fabrice Muamba, Tamir Cohen - very good little player worth a gamber Jamie O'Hara (tottenham), Kevin-Prince Boateng, Nadir Belhadj, Younes Kaboul We should try to get the above players - provided they are priced reasonably. History have also suggested that members of Championship team of the season quite often perform decently in the Premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Berra by all accounts (Wolves fans on another forum I visit) has been utter shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
