All good buys. Would play Emre instead of Butt and get Sidwell to hold, using your buys.

 

Would imagine Baines might cost a little more than £5m as Wigan are not after the money and would be in no position to sell, assuming Wigan stay up. I would imagine Jewell would be a cock about it.

 

There is something a bit embarrassing about trying to re-sign both Distin and Woodgate imo like. Having had them both at the club before and letting them go. I can't imagine many decent clubs letting good players go and then re-signing them a couple of years later.

 

Same with Nobby.

 

Thats my main concern with Gooch. I reckon we'd let him go back to Belgium and he'd return, with another club, and be an absolute player.

 

Anyway, probs for another thread.

 

For sure, all of your suggested buys would improve the side. Wage bill wise we'd need to sell either a couple of big earners and loads of the shite to accomodate all those freebies though, cos they'll all be after big dollar.

Forgot to say I'd like more cover for full backs too. I reckon we need to sign three full backs this window. A very strong left back, a good number two right back and a young, up-coming left back to deputise for Baines or someone.

 

In terms of sales, Carr, Baba, Parker, Moore and Bramble (release) would make up my main ones. Nobody would pay them what we are though, hence they'll be a bastard to shift.

Quality centre back -  7 mill

Baines - 5 mill

Sidwell - Free

Distin - Free

Viduka - Free

 

Just couldn't bring myself to sign Woodgate again, when we had him I thought he was never going to get over his injuries and was amazed/shocked and relieved when Real came in and bought him. He has had a very good season injury wise but I wouldn't be so confident as to spend £7m on him.

Who the hell would have most of them ?

I mean - Ramage, FFS.....

I still think a really GOOD manager could possibly make something of Bramble, who has everything but a brain between his ears, seems like, sometimes.

wayne bridge for left-back. great player.

 

Wouldn't leave Chelsea now IMO. We missed the boat last year.

What about Marcell Jansen who is the left full back of Gladbach. He is a german international in an age of 21! I don't think he will cost that much and his present club is going down.

Yours was virtually bang on mine tbh, NSG. However... i'd love Woodgate but he won't come back. Anyhow, it's crazy to think - that with the standard of freebies that are available this close season, we could spend nowt and still have the squad of a Top 4 team. Of course though, frees such as Tuncay and the likes will have more realistic suitors than the likes of us. But either way, i pray that Roeder has a sniff around the Bosman section this summer.

 

Sylvain Distin - Free

Luisao - £7m

Leighton Baines - £7m

Steve Sidwell - Free

Mark Viduka - Free

 

Fully Fit Starting XI:

 

Given

 

Solano --- Luisao --- Taylor --- Baines

 

Milner --- Emre --- Sidwell --- N'Zogbia

 

Martins --- Owen

 

Subs: Harper, Distin, Parker, Duff, Viduka

 

 

And...

 

We need a new RB.

 

Anyone who thinks we can survive with Solano there for a full season next year is stupid beyond belief.

 

I'd be content with Taylor and Carr as back-up to be totally honest. We're not in desperate need of a right-back at all.

I know, hence me saying we missed the boat last year.

agree to some extent.  He's played well for us this season, but if a proper quality RB were available, then he;d be a definite purchase.  Solano is good getting forward, but defensively isn't sound enough to be our full time RB.

Legithon Baines 7 mil -> duh

Wes Brown 6~7 mil -> double duh

Steve Sidwell Free -> triple

Tal Ben Haim Free -> quadruple

Lee Young-Pyo 1~2 mil -> sold attacking fullback who can cover for both sides and can also play midfield in a pinch. If he has any sense he probably hates Jol's guts by now so I figure we have a go for cheap.

 

Get rid of..

Babayaro

Bramble

Carr

Luque

anything beyond that is probably a luxury

 

may lose emre and zog though.

 

<XI>

Given

Solano Brown Ben Haim Baines

Milner Parker Sidwell Duff

Owen Martins

 

(Subs)

Lee

Ameobi

Harper

Emre

Zog

buy a whole new back four - Taiwo, Diogo, Distin and Ben Haim, spend the rest on an exciting youngster like Barnes

 

Taiwo is quality. Definately needs to slap Celestine out of our squad.

 

Anyways, at this point in time, proven premiership players may be imperative to a sucessful season next year. So, I wouldn't, even though I find him decent, be spending shit loads of cash on people like Luisao. Thing is, I could see Roeder getting shit loads of random foreigners from places like Kaiserlauten.

 

And yes, I'm aware of the contradictory statement when I've posited Taiwo as a possible signing. But did I really.

Nelson's a class act. The Rovers fans love him and I've got a feeling he's captain. Can't see us getting him for £3m, would be a great signing if we did, mind.

Rovers fans?

 

Thought he was on about the Benfica rightback, who are you talking about?  ???

 

Edit: Ahh, Ryan Nelson. Missed most of the season though hasn't he and is a CB by trade?
