Campbell and Sorin would have been great additions at the back.

 

If Man U go for Bale during the summer you'd wonder what Evra's situation will be. Depends on whether Heinze moves on as well I suppose. I'd like Evra here though for sure.

 

Arteta has to be the best signing on that list, fantastic player.

if you count loans then woodgate and riquelme too. not so much riquelme, but we should at least show some interest in him this summer. i'd imagine he'll be going cheap.

I wouldn't exactly say 5.5m is cheap. I just think it's well worth it to pay it for a player like Evra.

Mikel Arteta £2m

 

Patrice Evra £5.5m - At the point of purchase hard no one (fans) would think Evra at 5.5m is good and cheap. And initially he struggled in the premiership.

 

Lee Young-Pyo £2.05m

 

Phil Neville  £3.5m - Hardworking useful utility player, no really our priority. 3.5m is not really cheap either.

 

Henri Camara £3m - Not cheap and not good enough

 

Benni McCarthy Undisc.

 

Hatem Trabelsi Bosman

 

Lauren Undisc

 

Sol Campbell  Free

 

Lucas Neill Undisc - Not cheap

 

Steed Malbranque Undisc - Not cheap and not needed

 

Nelson Haedo Valdez  £3.22m - Not cheap

 

Juan Pablo Sorin Undisc.

 

Diego (Werder Bremen) £4.08m  - Not cheap and not needed

 

Maicon  £4m - Not cheap, although he is a class player and hence would be expensive

 

Lucho Gonzalez £2.46m  :nope:  - Not needed

 

Nihat Kahveci  Undisc

 

Aleksandr Kerzhakov £3.34m - Not exactly cheap

 

Yaya Touré £3.03m  :nope:  - Not needed

true, but that also doesn't mean that the opposite assumption (that all those players would have joined us) is true.

Agreed. But at times we have to try to go for players even when we think they're not realistic. I certainly wouldn't like seeing us give up before we even started.

Diego (Werder Bremen) £4.08m  - Not cheap and not needed

 

It depends on what you consider as cheap when you look at today's transfer fees, but saying a player like Diego wasn't/isn't needed is quite a bit absurd imho. He is a fantastic and influential playmaker who creates shitloads of chances for strikers. For Werder he was an absolute steal for 6m Euro. They wanted to groom him for replacing Micoud next season but were forced to directly put him into the team as Micoud left a year earlier than expected. He is a revelation.

Up there on the short list, that's for sure.

 

I'm just too lazy to get the link for your Dave Jones for Newcastle manager thread.  :laugh:
