Goatboy Posted 20 March, 2014 Share Posted 20 March, 2014 (edited) Lallana, Morgan, Big Vic, Rodriguez. We've played hardball and all told, we have £150m too spend. Pick 6 players to fill your Squad (aim for realistic valuations/possibility, must be 6 players). Me (first go!): Mata (35m?), Fabregas (45m?), Lukaku (22m?), Lahm (30m?), Shawcross (12m?) Marshall (6m?). Edited 21 March, 2014 by Goatboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 20 March, 2014 Share Posted 20 March, 2014 (edited) Cattermole £5m, Kevin Nolan, £2m, Zac Knight £3m, Grant Holt £2m, Adam Le Fondre £3m (to pick up holties flicks) Nathan Redmond £4m (the pacy wideman) £14m and you've got a top quality squad. all we are missing is a full back cut from the same cloth as Julian Dicks, any ideas?

Turkish Posted 20 March, 2014 Share Posted 20 March, 2014 Paul Robinson, Birmingham, 500k. Good call. £14.5m, job done. Good old English squad playing in a 4-4-2. Pacy wideman, a good big 'en and good little 'en up top, couple of nasty bast*rds in midfield, happy days. We got our club back. It's happening, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 21 March, 2014 Share Posted 21 March, 2014 Thus maximising incoming transfer money ...... this Ralph guy is a pretty smart cookie by the looks of things:uhoh: I hope we get to see the £40m pound note he speaks of, if only to see what colour it is and who the famous person is on it. Turkish has put together a proper squad that looks like great fun to watch as a fan, as games would be like going to Ice Hockey where you will be waiting for it to kick off at any minute, and when we play Arsenal Mr Wenger might actually spontaneously combust before our very eyes!! Me I would just keep the money in the bank and fill the squad from the Academy, with a foreign coach in charge how could it fail!! ..............................

In that case, I'd spend £150m on TRT, HGH, gene therapy, bionics and hyperbaric chambers. And then I'd sign Stoichkov, Hagi, Ronaldo, Zidane, Van Basten, Maldini and Matthaus. All of whom as far as I'm aware are available on a free. I don't think all our players are leaving either. But if they do, I somehow doubt we'd manage to attract the central lynchpin from the best team in the world to replace one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Knight and Holt, I'm not sure that Cattermole would add much to our team. He is a competitive and industrious player, yes, but he wouldn't suit our style very well.

Barry Sanchez Posted 21 March, 2014 Share Posted 21 March, 2014 The majority of decent players would not join a club that has just sold 6 of their best players. You also won't find many cases of signing 6 new first team players working out. If by some ridiculous situation we did sell all 6, I'd want us to hold onto the money and not waste it as Spurs did with much of the Bale money. Sign some more good young players, 3 or 4, mix with more youth players and hopefully stay clear of relegation. Could still have Boruc Chambers Yoshida Fonte Targett Cork Davis Ward-Prowse Ramirez Reed Lambert A depressing decline yes, but some basis for hope if you add a few signings to that side. Could certainly stay up signing a CB, winger and striker. How is that progression? Does this mean I wont need my passport for the European adventure? Our we now a provincial medium sized english club that sells to larger ones again? Or have we always been this way? #itshappening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
