He becomes a player coach at 37, then takes over management when SB leaves to manage newly formed MLS side Hawaii 5-0. Daws Jr then gets his brother in as an Assistant Manager, the former leaves us for the Spurs job, giving us £10m in compensation and leaving Andy Dawson as manager of Hull City. Not bad for £4m.

I believe and would hope that there will already be players lined up should this happen. Maybe they are thinking one more, with Aluko, Long and Jelavic making up the other 3. I don't think this will be enough to compete on all fronts should we pick up injuries and suspensions, which we will. Maybe bring in a cheap 5th option????

Really you only need 4, Aluko can cover there if needs be. Otherwise you end up with a backlog of strikers and people being paid to do nothing at all.

So that will be just the three strikers. I really think we need 4, given the amount of games we will have this season.
 
Wouldn't surprise me if the Dawson deal is a DONE DEAL DONE DEAL and is linked in with the Livermore deal. Just personals to sort out I'd imagine.
(unable to read the article if this repeats any if that)

Aluko is a forward, which means he can play as a striker or as an AM/winger. In our first season under Brucey he was played up front with Jay Simpson (or just behind him) and scored 8 goals, to all intents and purposes, he's comfortably a striker. That season Simpson and Aluko were our main strike force, with Proschwitz and Gedo providing cover or swapping when needs be. That worked well and I can only assume we'd keep the same model. Don't forget that in some games we might only play with 1 up front, which would then leave four strikers fighting for one spot.

Aluko, Long, Jelavic and one more would be four. Assuming we play 2 in the PL, that would still leave 2 to play in the cups/Europe. I'm of course not including any youth players that might be chucked in during the early rounds. Any more than that and competition for places would then become quite difficult, resulting in players getting pissed off and us wasting money.

Just been told Sagbo's off back to France or off to Turkey. 2 clubs in talks apparently. Seems an odd one that.

And that'll teach me about not reading before posting, again.
