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 ---------------------------

Id be surprised if we got that lot for £150k per week

I'd definitely take him. We rely on Tiote's athleticism in midfield, if Reo-Coker's still as fast and strong as he used to be he'd be good CM cover.

 

Same, obviously he's not Tiote but he's better than any other backup we've got.

 

Thing is, he might want to go somewhere for first-team football after not featuring for Villa that much.

Rio-Cocker is a shit player. He lacks football intelligence: passes to late and his passing skills are a disgrace. He tends to give the ball away in bad positions, or looses the ball when the team is in counterattack, either through a shit pass or because he runs with the ball too long.
