Mike Ashley is actually giving us £35 million to spend on new players plus whatever you make from player sales! Using realistic figures and players who would you buy in the summer? This is taking into consideration that we stay up!

I would sell the following...

Xisco - £2 million
Smith - £1 million
Lovenkrands - £500k
Perch - £1.5 million

I would then buy the following...

Elmander - Free
Gervinho - £10 million
Wickham - £8 million
Larsson - Free
Figueroa - £8 million
Jarvis - £10 million
Badelj - £3.5 million
Westwood - Free

Net Spend: £34.5 million

I would then loan out the following...

Forster
Krul
Vuckic
Ranger

I think these signings would be good as it wouldn't change the team too much and then we could have the following line up...

-------------Harper---------------

Simpson---Willo----Collo----Enrique

Ben Arfa---Tiote---Barton----Jarvis

--------Gervinho---Elmander-------

Subs:
Westwood
S.Taylor
Figueroa
Nolan
Gutierrez
Best
Wickham

What do you think?

<badger>
 
Wouldn't get a keeper, bring Forster back and loan out Tim.
Not Jarvis, I'd go for Sylvain Marveaux. Don't think he would be £10m either.

Otherwise, yeah, I'd be happy with that!
 
Elmander? **** off.

I'd rather spend the time that useless, lazy pile of **** takes up improving Ranger. Elmander had a good start to the season, and it was the form of his life, and he couldn't even get to 10 goals. He's what... 30?

Keep Ranger, **** Elmander.

I'd live Gervihno though.

He costs absolutely nothing and gives you something different. I really can't see why anyone would not take Elmander on a free. As it says, send Ranger out on loan to the championship so he can have a full season playing consistently.
 
Here's the plan Derek! Remember - top secret. OK. Don't leave it at Greggs when you get me daily order in for christ sakes or we'll be screwed.

Flog:

Xisco - £2 million
Smith - £1 million
Lovenkrands - £500k
Perch - £1.5 million
Tiote - £20 million
Jonas - £8 million
Barton - £7 million
Enrique - £12 million
Ranger - £1.5 million
Guthrie - £2 million
Smith - £500k
S Taylor - £4 million
Routledge - £1 million
Colo - £8 million
Simpson - £2 million
Willo - £2 million


On top of the £35 million that brings us: £108 million

That means if we can't flog everything else that isn't nailed down in time I can still do the following:

Sell the club for £200 million (inc the soft loan)

Then scarper with more loot than I came in with!!

Busy schedule Derek. Get to work!
 
Wages will be free'd up from players leaving. The money we have to invest will be mainly for buying players. Smith will free up about 70k a week! That's 2 players worth!!

Exactly. I also feel that the players I have stated will have smaller wages, are mainly all young and will all have a good resale value.
 
fair play but my advice would be to not expect too much and hopefully we can get a few nice surprises
if Mr Carr can find a striker relitavely unknown like tiote who proves out to be an absoloute bargain
then i would be very happy in the summer
 
Xisco - £2 million
Smith - £1 million
Lovenkrands - £500k
Perch - £1.5 million
Tiote - £20 million
Jonas - £8 million
Barton - £7 million
Enrique - £12 million
Ranger - £1.5 million
Guthrie - £2 million
Smith - £500k
S Taylor - £4 million
Routledge - £1 million
Colo - £8 million
Simpson - £2 million
Willo - £2 million

Then buy Messi and put him on the pitch by himself.

Sorted.
 
I'm gona give it a try

Sell
Smith > 1mil
Xiso 2-3mil
Perch 1mil
Krul-on lone
Jonas 8mil
Routledge ?mi

Buy
Doyle 7-8mil
or
Pavalyhenko 7-8mil
Wickham ?mil
Barnetta ?mil

Then my team for next year
----Harper/Forster----

Simpson-Collo-Willo-Jose

--Barton-Tiote-Nolon--

----Barnetta-HBA----

-Doyle/Pavalychenko-

Would like to keep Jonas really but if the 8 millon price tags true i'd let him go (although if he plays like last nigh?)
Not sure how much Wickham or Barnetta would set us back but i think both should come at a resonable price
I'd bring Forster back on lone from Celtic and see how good he looks compared to Harper or Krul
Looking at a Premiership striker for next year I'd go for Doyle or Pavalychenko. I could see either of them coming but it's a matter of price and i wouldn't pay more than 8mil for either
 
I'd take Gervinho, Elmander and Larsson, not sure on the others you've mentioned to be honest.

I must be the only one who wouldn't sell Perch, keep him as back up LB, saves having to invest in that position. I'd also like to see us sell Routledge, something which will probably happen. I'd love to see us go in for Pavlyuchenko but we may struggle to get him. A new center back would be preferable but not sure who would be available. I like the look of Kadar though, maybe he can fill the void left by Campbell when he hangs up his boots (some may say he already has). This could be our team next season with those additions suggested:

Harper/Krul
Simpson/Raylor Coloccini/Kadar Saylor/Williamson Enrique/Perch
Barton/Larsson Nolan/Ireland Tiote/Smith
Gervinho/Jonas Pavlyuchenko/Elmander Ben Arfa/Ranger

Tash - you are criticising Elmander for being lazy and then championing Ranger, crazy.
 
Sell:
Xisco - £1.5m (Sell him for anything to get him off the wage bill)
Smith - £500k (ditto with Xisco)

Sign:
Barnetta/Marin
Wickham
Pavylchenko/Elmander
Ireland/Kranjcar
& a Carr wonder signing bargain.

I'd have Forster as #2 keeper and loan Krul out, see what he can do as a first choice keeper at a decent club like we have done with Forster this year.

Gervinho (Elmander on a free, but dont really want to pay too much for a 29 year old)
Kranjcar (no Ireland, unless he finds his previous form)
& a Carr wonder signing bargain (Marveaux?).

<ok>

EDIT: Skjelbred of course aswell.
