The Tim revolution is a lot more exciting than the MON retirees' gravy train and the Lambo downward spiral transition! 😀

You're missing Okore from the centre backs

Would still like us to shell out a bit on a Centre back who can go straight into the team. Though Senderos didn't let us down last season, he isn't long term, Okore is still finding his feet in England, Richards may end up at full back, only Clarke is a guaranteed starter in my eyes. A giant Dane or Swede would be good.

I can't speak for the Swedes or Norwegians, but we've already got the best Danish centre back in my opinion.

The current paring for the national team is Agger (who looked out of his depth in the Supaliga last season playing for Brøndby) and Simon Kær who's slightly more robust and less accident prone than Baker.

Even Legion is less accident prone than Nathan

Baker, Cissokho are on their way it appears. I think Gardner will be in the 25, not sure why he would not. I think Bennett will be too, and Richardson will be off. I also reckon Steer will go out on loan with Guzan and Bunn being the keepers named.

I also think there will be 2 more names, possibly 3 that we don't know yet.

                                  Guzan (Bunn, Steer)

Richards (Hutton, Bacuna)             New CB (Okore)            Clark (Crespo)           Amavi  (Richardson)

                        Westwood   (Sanchez)                Gueye  (Gardner)

                                             Veretout

Grealish (Gil)                              Adebayor (Gestede, Kozak)                    Ayew (Gabby, Sinclair)

25 names there although seems you can name Amavi in the under 21s so frees up a spot.

Excluded:

Baker
Senderos
Cissokho
Bennett
Tonev
Joe Cole
N'zogbia.

I would change Sanchez for Westwood (just) and Gil for Grealish most definately.
