With the prospective departure of Downing, Young going, Bent needing a supply line, Brad going along with Reo then lets name the players we want to perhaps at least keep us in top ten of the league.
-
For me
Nathaniel Clyne, Ben Foster, Matt Jarvis and a defensive midfielder...........
-
Foster/Given, Dann, N'Zogbia, and a solid left back....get Luke back on the right, bring in Bannan, Delph, Gardner, Clarke and I reckon we've got a good, youthful, attacking side
-
...and I would never have let NRC go. Always been a fan of his and it rankles a bit to see that he might be plying his trade up the road
-
At least with NRC you can guarantee he would be on considerably less at Albion than what we offered him.
Twat
-
Foster/Given, Dann, N'Zogbia, and a solid left back....get Luke back on the right, bring in Bannan, Delph, Gardner, Clarke and I reckon we've got a good, youthful, attacking side
Plus another striker.
What if Bent gets injured ? - Too much reliance on Bent for the goals.
-
Fuck it
I don't want to name anybody until we get some sort of sign that we are not just a sell to buy club.
-
Foster/Robinson, Dann/Samba, Enrique, N'Zogbia, Rodallega, Krajncar and then add the youngsters then we will be ok.
-
Foster, Enrique, Parker, Kranjcar (assuming Downing leaves), N'Zogbia. If we can shift Beye, Ireland, Warnock, Heskey and Guzan then we should also pick up 2 promising young talents from the lower leagues in positions to complement and not stifle Delph, Bannan, Clark etc.
-
Robinson or Foster (looks likely to be Given)
Hutton
Enrique
Dann or Johnson
Parker
N'Zogbia
That young Dutch winger
I can feel this thread will be ______.
-
Foster . Enrique , Hutton , Dann , Parker and Nzogbia would get us to 8th ....
-
Robinson
Johnson
Hutton
Parker
Kranjcar
Owen Hargreaves ( pay as you play principle)
N'Zogbia.
Plus the fella in Portugal and the Dutch winger as above. (obviously in the case of these players we would have to give them names)
-
plus Diego has a treat for the fans for all our recent shit ..
-
given, hutton, nzogbia,adam,roger johnson and a back up striker.
-
Given or Foster
Hutton
Parker
N'Zogbia
Verhoek
sturridge

Until we know whether McGinge can 'turn around' players like Warnock, Dunne and Ireland; and until the Downing thing is sorted, it's difficult to speculate.
We need a keeper - I'd like Robinson; we'll get Given.
We need a RB - would like Walker; we'll get Hutton.
We need some extra fire power on the flanks - would like to keep Downing; we'll get N'Zogbia.
We don't need cover upfront (Gabby, Weimann, Delfouneso; in that order) - but if we do buy, I'd take a gamble on Kalinic (Blackburn).
All other positions are covered .... if last season's renegades are up for a serious contribution next season. If they're not, then McGinge has a very busy summer ahead.
Based on the above the starting line-up might look like this:
Given
Hutton Dunne Clark LY / Warnock
Makoun Delph
N'Zogbia / Albrighton Ireland Downing
Bent
Not a bad starting 11 - potentially solid - and with back-up from Collins, CC (when fit), Bannan, Petrov, Baker, Lichaj, Gabby, Weimann and GG.
Still potentially light in goal re back-up (Guzan or Siegrist?) and still lacking a world-class midfielder.
All hangs on the renegades and Downing, though.
-
Geez i wouldn't like to go all season with that midfield, NRC may not have been the dogs bollocks but he was hard at it and put the effort in, relying on a midfield that wasn't good enougn last year and losing a good contributor we are very light on and will get overun.
-
Until we know whether McGinge can 'turn around' players like Warnock, Dunne and Ireland; and until the Downing thing is sorted, it's difficult to speculate.
This is true. I also can't help thinking that we'll be looking at a few more modest signings and trying to get something out of the fringe players so that we can focus on one big signing.
Get Given instead of Foster, give Warnock a chance instead of buying a LB, etc. And then make a serious move for someone like Milner.
-
Sturridge would be a great buy .....
So:-
Dann
Sturridge
Hutton
Bridge
Foster
N'Zogbia
-
GK: Foster (or Given - 2nd choice)
RB: Clyne / Hutton
MF: Nzogbia, Parker & Kranjcar (or Hitzlsperger)
FW: Sturridge
Bonus - Diego (wont happen)
Piece of piss!

TTV: "Sturridge would be a great buy".
So would Messi but it ain't going to happen is it?
Sturridge was apparently valued at £20m recently after an enquiry by The Best Supported Club in the World - and I suspect his wage demands, which were high when he moved to Chelsea, would be astronomic.
We ain't in that space any more (if we ever were!).
-
Sturridge would be a great buy .....
straight swap for Downing - doubt the wages are disimilar, either
-
Milner
Given
Sturridge
Keep Downing
A left back.

Haha - that list isn't a bad one mind you.

Depending on how much money we can spend.
Goalie......... Foster, or Given
LB Enrique, or Wigan guy, but would also have a look at the Swansea LB
RB...Walker,
CB.......Samba/Dann or Boyota on loan
DM....Parker or Capoute?
Wingers......N'Zogbia for definate, and then Jarvis/Phillips/Sinclair.
Would definately get Canales on loan as well.
