First 3 signings

1) McFadden
2) Ferguson
3) Hutton

OK - partly tongue in cheek.

Who I'd like to see?

Well Given would be a good start to be followed by Johnson and then someone who can actually win the ball in midfield and not give it away (like Barry when he was good)

Barry rarely won the ball in midfield.

I was going to make that comment earlier, but feared the ensuing debate about Barry would get tedious.

Obviously the Barry I saw 2006-08 (at his best) was the one who often intercepted passes, an extra yard in his head, rarely gave the ball away had very good anticipation and spacial awareness so didn't have to run around like a headless chicken to win the ball Savage style. He managed this whilst covering the ineffective Petrov's work too.
