Maestro7 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) After a restless nights sleep tossing and turning in bed, mulling over the situation at st james park, you wake up to find yourself behind BSA's desk with a note from Chris Mort infront of you. "Sam we have concluded that we need to release funds to you in order to build a team capable of a top half finish this year" "Your budget will be £20mil to spend how you wish but we expect quality and the sale of the fringe players that are expendable" What would you do and where would you start? Well for me its quite simple......i personaly dont think we need another centre back as we have sufficient quality in Faye, Taylor, Cacapa, Rozenhal and edgar in reserve. Left back seems to be covered with enrique and charlie doing well there also you tozer in reserve. So this being said i look at right back and think beye is a fantastic player but he's gone for 4-6 weeks and we have no cover (hardly call carr cover) so diarra at 5-6 mil is a good choice as he can play right back and is good in midfield. Next is the lack of creativity in midfield and seeing as emre isnt getting a look in, and when he does, fails to cut it, id let him go and go get arshavin for 8 mil, hes interested and exactly what we require. Finally upfront, for me we have smith, viduka, owen, martins and shola, of which owen and shola can go if bids wer made. And id go for big dean ashton 8mil or defoe for about 10-12mil. Then i think we have a squad capable on stability in the top half and ready to build upon at the end of the season. ---------------------Given--------------------- Diarra-----Taylor-------Faye------Enrique Milner-----Arshavin-----Butt-------N'Zogbia --------------Martins------------------------- ----------------------Ashton------------------ Pretty good i think!

You never know what Gordon Strachan and Glenn Roeder could be thinking though. As for Fred, yeah £5 Million may be a tad optimistic, but I'd have him here in front of Ashton personally. Although Ashton is a good player in his own right, I'd want to have Fred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
