Reet then, after the 'horses mouth' revelations that Gyan may not be here next season (i reckon he will, but let's just play along here), i chucked me thinking hat on, and came up with a not too shabby starting 11 for next season....
GK -Gordon - Top drawer, and too ****ing brittle to attract a bid to buy. Winner.
RB - Hutton (Gyan deal)
CB - Onouha
CB- Titus (Samba if poss, depends on Blackburn staying up.. whichever of these would be captain)
LB - Emilo Izaguirre (ã6million)
LM - N'Zog (based on Titus patter last night, ã8million, reduced due to relegation)
CM - Nico Kranjkaer (Gyan deal)
CM - Meyler
RM - Jordan
MOLE IN THE HOLE - Sessegnon
CF - Pavlyechenko (Gyan deal)
Yes, it's one up top, but one who holds the ball and links decent, with the pace of Zog, Jordan and Sess, and the great dribbling and passing skills of Nico to find the runners.
Now, i'd rather keep Gyan, but i'm putting a positive spin on the worst case scenario, and i ****ing like this team, and it would cost PEANUTS, as Gyan would bring in a packet.
Subs?
Turner, Steed, Catts, DANNY GRAHAM (ã2.5m), Knott, Noble, Mig22.
Clearly, we would need another striker, but as i'm struggling to think of anyone, i'll work with what i can place, i think Graham would be busting his balls to be a success, and i think the midfield would have great movement and creativity, till they all get hamstring injuries and we fall apart like Jerseys Punto
It's a loose draft, but it shows that we could potentially change a lot.
Ned and Samba/Titus would be a collosal and athletic pairing, Hutton was class for us, Emilo is probably unrealistic, but Scottish football is ****, so hey, have a go!
Over to you bunch of window lickers to pull holes in my cunning plans...
I have a mate whos ITK and he reckons N'zogbia is off to Liverpool, in talks already he says.

What about the Bard? I think Colback deserves a place on the bench
Syd: PLEASE, not Crouch - Defoe (another mercenary with nowt to prove), What about Jarvis?
Gyan stays, my team......
GK -Gordon - Top drawer, and too ****ing brittle to attract a bid to buy. Winner.
RB - Bardsley
CB - Onouha
CB- Bramble
LB - Risse (ã5 million from Roma I think he play at)
LM - N'Zog (based on Titus patter last night, ã8million, reduced due to relegation)
CM - Cattermole
CM - Dempsey (ã10 million)
RM - Sess
CF - Defoe (ã8 million)
CF - Gyan
Subs?
Turner, Steed, Welbeck (Swap Henderson), Richardson, Noble, Petrov (ã5 million from Villa as cover for Catts), Mig22
I wouldnt mind Zamora as well from Fulham but noway they would sell both Dempsey & Zamora
