Realistic Transfer Targets Summer 2011

His record looks good, but I haven't seen him enough to have a view on whether he can make the step up. Seems he has once already though, anyone a regular viewer?

 

From what i have seen, he is a box striker, not sure about is overall game.

Not sure how realistic he his but i'd love to see Shawcross in a toon shirt

Same.

 

 

He will complement Colo perfectly. But took this from wiki: "Additionally, Alex Ferguson negotiated a clause that gives Manchester United first refusal on any offer for the player"

 

Also, cb is not our most acute position. We need attackers, a winger and a lb cover first and foremost.

maybe a 4th choice cb to replace campbell but your right other positions need addressing first, especially the striker and winger front

Sell/release all the shite like Xisco, R.Taylor, Lovenkrands, Routledge and Perch. None of them are good enough. Smith, I'd keep until his contract expires in the summer of 2012. No-one will want him.

 

Decreases wage bill by around £115,000 a week, £5.9 million a year.

 

Let's say we raise £5 million from selling that lot ... £35 million in the bank to spend (inc. Carroll sale).

 

Bid £3 million for Van Aanholt, has familiarity with the club/area, will need someone relatively settled when Enrique is sold/goes on a free.

 

Bid £12 million for Kevin Gameiro, fast and a good finisher. Bellamy but better, without the attitude.

Bid £10 million for Youssef El-Arabi, depending on how he finishes the season and if Caen go down.

 

Ideally one of:

 

Bid £8 million, for Matt Jarvis, can play on either wing.

Bid £13 million for Adam Johnson, emphasise on him being a first-team player. Give the lad something to think about.

 

We'll need DM cover, someone like Reo-Coker would be adequate, bid of £2.5 million should do it.

 

Total - £33 million, around £150,000 added to the weekly wage bill - £7.8 million a year (only £2.6 million a year more than now if we can sell some of the deadwood).

 

All hypothetical of course ...

 

---------------------------- Harper ----------------------------

 

-- Simpson -- Williamson/Taylor -- Coloccini -- Enrique

 

-- Barton -------- Tiote ---------- Nolan ------------ Jarvis

 

--------------------------- Ben Arfa ---------------------------

 

--------------------------- Gameiro ---------------------------
