Ok, Laudrup has said that he expects to sign upwards of 4 players maybe more. So, I ask one question and lets be realistic. If you were him, who would be the 4 players you would bring in. Then, Obviously players have to be released, so who would you let go for those you have decided to sign.
OUT Lita, Dobbie (shame), Gower, Bessone, Bodde (gone thank God, milked us enough), either Obeng or Situ, Moore (was being re-tuned to play AM, doubt this process will continue under ML). I can see Sinclair going too, I sincerely hope not. The youngsters, I have no idea, except for Jazz. I'd like him moved from FB to play either DM or CM. For me he's to cute a player to be an out and out defense and these days he has a laser guided pass. Would be a shame to see him reach his potential else where. Orlandi is not on my deffo list as I think he still has a role to play, especially if Sinclair goes. I do know why but I've always had a soft spot for this guy. I know he can but the £1m question is, will his body let him. I do know that he is desperate to stay and fight to play for us. IN's Not a clue who but according to my secret recordings from the Liberty stadium executive toilets, we wont see more than four new faces all season and it will probably only be three.
IN: Looks like Flores and De Guzman are coming - see other thread. VERY pleased with those. OUT: Probably be Dobbie (double shame), Bessone, Lita, maybe Moore too. Don't agree Bodde 'milked us' - think he was on pay as you play but may be wrong on that. Shame it didn't work out for him nor us.
shame about dobbie as i would keep him, Lita to leeds, sinclair to fulham, Monk to Bristol city, Jaz out on loan, donnelly going,young donnelly out on loan, Moore staying, danny staying as back up, Bids for ash and taylor and allen imminent....Hope we can keep all three.......as for players coming in well thats anyone's guess, brendan is after two of our targets also man utd in for one of ours....for the next 14 days we will be linked with every man and his dog as today is the official start of the silly fortnight so brace yourselves for some joy and some disappointments....and what will be will be....IN Mr Laudrup we trust..
You've been banging on for ages about how he's not good enough for the Prem. Change of name doesn't mean changing your mind Dai!
In : De Guzman , Flores & Adomah seem to be just about for sure so he'll probably want another striker , Cox maybe .. Out : Orlandi , Dobbie , Donnelly ( just read he's leaving ) , Lita & Bessone out .
Here's what I think will happen, not necessarily what I want to happen: Out Gower Orlandi Bessone Bodde Lita S Donnelly Dobbie Assorted Youngsters None of the above are much use to a Premier League side with the exception of Lita, who I understand is open to a move anyway in order to get more games. In De Guzman Flores Kahlenberg A Striker Kahlenberg & De Guzman fill the gaps in attacking midfield and out wide, with Kahlenberg able to cover both. Flores to replace Caulker, a striker to replace Lita.
