Evans was very good for United the last time they won the title, but that was a couple of seasons ago and it seems like he's completely lost his confidence and composure. I'm not sure that just gets fixed automatically by moving to a club lower down the table.

He, Okore and Clark would be a great set of ball-playing CBs (look at this video here:
) but no one would have any confidence in them avoiding the fuck-ups.

We really need to expand our horizons for players. I don't really fancy cast-offs from teams above us or lower-league gambles.

Don't forget re-signing John Phillips as first choice goalkeeper.

Why is Jay Spearing... I would go on but that is enough.

With Weimann going, and Gil likely, a couple of forward players must be on the agenda this summer

Don't know what all the fuss is about, we have Sylla and Tonev coming back, Heskey is available and would make a great pairing with Danny Graham.

Jay Spearing is 26 and should be coming to his peak in the next couple of season, notice that Bolton loaned him out to Blackburn last season so (checks who Bolton manager is) Lennon obviously doesn't rate him, should be able to pick him up for less than a million and build a team round him. Matt Taylor from Burnley, Jelavic from Hull, Richard Dunne (free) and Carlton Cole (free) would make us a force to reckon with I should imagine. Maybe cheeky bids for Diego Costa and De Gea as they are reportedly looking to move and persuade Xavi to have a couple of seasons in England, sorted.

Agreed with you up until the last bit. If Bannan couldn't hold down a place in the Villa side, what chance would Xavi have?

I'd maybe get Harewood back, as back up to Altidore, and make a sneaky bid for Fabregas.

Good point, wonder if Bannan fancies giving it another go at Villa? The prospect of playing alongside Bannan and Spearing could tempt Fabregas.

Well Albion wanted Carlton Cole to replace Brown Ideye, who as we all know is better than Benteke, so this may actually have some strange logic to it...
