nope… had your contract cancelled like me … good job we’re not bitter eh

Was hoping me and you in a double pivot.

I'm gonna need some help with OLOF and Wakey either side of me and Shako in front. I'll be covering some distance.

Still, I might get a move to Citeh next year for mega money.

I knew I would be making apologies for those I forget - memory is not what it used to be for some reason

Morning all

With the new season fast approaching, I have given some deep thought () to what I would do if I were Orta for the coming season and have come up with the following:

I am going for a 4-5-1 formation as follows:

I am aware he hasn't played much for the last couple of years but wanted some real experience in goal and have recalled Chesh to the line up. Paddy Kenny on steroids will never let you down between the sticks. As the old song goes, you'll never beat the Chesh (or something like that).

My system requires solid Full Backs so I have gone for Ristac and Hemase. What we lose in terms of flair is more than made up for with good, honest reliability.

Centre Half and skipper is Doc. The booming Ian Paisley voice and conviction in his own beliefs make him a natural leader. Perhaps surprisingly, I have paired him with Oldschool. Not everyone will be happy with the lack of height at the back but my reasoning is, sharpness of mind should make up for any lack of pace. The man to cover the gaps at the back while Doc is busy arguing with the ref, the opposition, his team mates, tea lady etc.

Holding Mid I wanted a football brain, someone to pull the strings so Emu gets the nod (someone who talks a good game is always useful).

Now, for the flair in my team. Centre mid we have someone with all the attributes of Gazza packed into one tiny dynamo Irish body, our one and only Shaks. Alongside Shaks we have the man who, in his own words was very similar to Sheridan back in the day only slower, yes, the ever silky / slippery Jammy.

On the wings and I like this. Firstly, Georgie Best himself, OLOF. Swashbuckling Irish flair with a touch of steel. No trouble in our changing room with this guy, scruff of the neck Vinny stuff and a mean Guitar Riff at half time. On the other wing, a no brainer (literally), Wakey. With the physique of Pat Nevin and the running power and intellect of Forest Gump we can't go wrong here. Run Forest, run

Gone for a good old fashioned bustling Centre Forward with WJ. Spends a lot of time in the treatment room but always out on the grass on a Saturday. Plenty of bundling the ball in the net with this guy

Subs:

Ell - Mr reliable, never misses a training session or game and always has a good story.
Eire - too much grumbling to be a first team regular but would never be afraid to throw him into action when required.
Forza - straight into the side as soon as OLOF or Wakey get themselves into trouble.
Leeds of London - similar to Matt Le Tissier, full of ability but too laconic for my system as a starter.
Lee - oh Lee, so much talent but that can't be bothered attitude costs you your place.
Davy, for sentimental reasons, I just can't leave Davy out of any squad of mine even if he is getting on a bit now.
Blono, occasional brilliance but we just don't see it often enough.
Dirty - perfect for winding his team mates up when we need a bit of fire in our bellies.

Can't stop the youth development either, it is part of our Leicester model so, 60, Walt and Sea Dog get squad numbers.

Controversial I know but I did consider bring Chippy back into the fold but have finally accepted that, in the modern game, his style is just going to cost us with frequent Bookings and more than the odd sending off.

Finally, Head Coach. The deep thinking, possibly over analytical, attention to detail approach worked so well for us for so long with Bielsa so this was easy. Aski, do you want the job?

I need to post on a CL forum and so, having already agreed my personal terms I'm just waiting for a bid to seal the deal, any moment now.

If we start James up front first game of the season it's open season on the club.

Not up front on right wing. Aaronson and gelherdt for me leave rodrigo out as he gave the ball away as usual and it was commented on. Left side is up for grabs as harrison was easily marked.

I can see a problem straight away. What if there are lady lines persons. Olof and me would spend more time on the touchline. I was trying to think of a more intellectual way to put it but apparently i have the brain of a goldfish.
