tinofbeans 86 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 scenario for you. fat fred finds that his shares in greggs bakery have octupled in value and he offers in an unusually nice gesture for you the fan to advise him on who should stay and who should go. you have £50m to spend and can get rid of or hire any player in world football who would your first 16 be? and would you have roeder as manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 133 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I would send Roeder back to working with the academy, I'd tear up the contracts of Luque, Carr, Bramble, Babayaro and Terry Mac, I'd appoint Co Adriaanse as manager and instruct him to assemble his own backroom staff. Signings would be: Leighton Baines. Nikola Žigić Eddie Johnson Jaques Faty Craig Gordon Morton Gamst Pedersen Rafinha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima 0 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 (edited) Presuming you'd sell Given? Because Gordon will not sign for a team just to sit on the bench, what with him being the best British keeper and all....

Barney 0 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Baines/Bridge Curtis Davies Dean Ashton Giles Barnes I think that these would all be solid, realistic signings. Can't think of a suitable right back off the top of my head, but Roeder has supposedly identified Barnes and Davies, who are young and highly rated, getting regular first team football in the Championship. The main thing is really rebuilding the defence around Given and Taylor(deserves a chance to learn from a reliable centre back IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main thing is really rebuilding the defence around Given and Taylor(deserves a chance to learn from a reliable centre back IMO). I think we're crying out for a top class central midfielder too. Agree with you on Bridge, Davies and Ashton though. Not seen enough of Barnes to comment. £8m on Lampard in Summer too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I haven't seen Barnes either, but I hope he could come in and do what Jenas did here. A couple of seasons of hard graft and hopefully have a decent player on our books. Without the goldfish crap either. I also agree about a central attacking midfielder. I feel that Emre/Milner or Dyer should be given the opportunity to make the spot their's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus 0 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 first thing i'd do is overhaul the backroom staff from manager to the physio to scouts to tea lady. mutual termination of the the following players contracts at the end of the season: luque, carr, babayaro, shola, ramage, pattison allow the contracts of le sib, pav, moore and bramble to expire. first team squad is then: given harper krul huntington edgar taylor duff butt solano milner parker emre nzogbia dyer owen martins spunk the rest on defenders.

@yourservice 67 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 (edited) Think you might need more than 50 Mill to sort this lot out.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I'd sign Greg Halford, Curtis Davis, Bale, Barnes, Nugent and Ashton. I'd also put the feelers out about Woodgate returning. If I was appointing a manager I'd go for Hiddink and offer him complete control (but I don't think that plus £50mil would be enough to persuade him).
