under o neill i think we can really challenge the top four of the league and contrary to everyones thoughts that we need a complete team reshuffle i think five new players on a budget of 20 million would do the trick. (this is if o'neill gets the job of course)
IN anelka(7million) upson(4.5 million if brum go down) sutton(4million if brum go down) petrov(7.5million) barry(5 million)
OUT boumsong(4 million), babayaro(1.5million) EMRE(8MILLION) milner(swap for barry)
THAT WOULD STILL LEAVE A HEALTHY SQUAD WHILST NOT BLOWING THE TRANSFER FUND COMPLETELY.
p.s. i think stilian petrov offers alot more than emre. better physical presence, beter header, better passer and scores goals. now is a great time to cash in on emre in my opinion.
THAT LEAVES A STARTING LINE UP OF:
