Alright chaps, cannot wait till the start of the season now and its gunna be exciting this year I rekon, Chelsea looking to upset the Manchester clubs and have apparently bid 25m for Brazilian wonderkid Oscar. All the teams that have came up are strengthening there side especially West Ham who could sign 3players off us this summer with a 2.5m deal close to being completed for Richardson according to all the ITK's on twitter. As for us would you be happy if we got.... CB - Carlos Cuellar (Villa) - done already LB - Martin Olsson (Blackburn Rovers) CM/LB - Vernon Anita (Ajax) CM - Alberto Aquilani (Liverpool) - loan W - Junior Hoilett (free agent) CF - Ricky Van Wolfswinkel (Sporting) CF - John Guidetti (Manchester City) - loan CF - Joselu (Real Madrid Castila - dnt think we will get our other target Jese Rodriguez from Madrid but have a chance with this lad) with Bramble, Elmohamady, Meyler and Vaughan all following Richardson out of the Stadium of Light as well as Wickham on loan. ------------- Mignolet ------------- Bardsley - O'Shea - Brown -- Olsson ------ Aquilani ------ Anita -------- -Hoilett ---- Sessegnon --- McClean ------------ The Wolf ------------- subs Cuellar Westwood Larsson Colback Cattermole Guidetti Jesulu Long term I think the next area MoN would look to would be the centre half position and right back That has been edited btw as I had Larsson CM (thats what the comments are about bellow) but Aquilani on loan would be class, surely?
Looks good to me mate. With Larsson I hear what you are saying but for me he is only in the side for 1 (main) reason and that is crossing the ball either from out wide or dead ball. If he goes central he loses his worth to the team IMO. Just need a quality signing now to get us going.
That looks great tbh, though I think we should keep hold of Vaughan, he has been very useful in the past and can be a great sub.
That is true. I could just see us being overun in the middle if Larsson is 1 of 2 in centre. Saying that who knows what formation we may play this season?!
I like Larrson, he is one of our better players. We were really poor without him. He gives us options on either wing and through the middle. He can pass the ball, great at set pieces and defensively good. For me he only lacks pace. I can see him more in a midfield three with more pace used on the wing for fast breaks.
dead chuffed = really happy. all good players who would improve our squad, but i can't see us getting them all. definitely don't think we'll sign 3 strikers (although i'd be happy with 2 of the 3 mentioned!)
Pleased as punch if we got some of those names! I'd definitely keep Seb though and probably Vaughan too.
