Just a bit of fun but what could our final line up look like at the end of this transfer window? Mignolet Bardsley, O'Shea, Cuellar, Strinic Catts (c) Larsson, Sessgnon, Johnson Dempsey/Defoe Fletcher Westwood, Dawson, Brown, Colback, McClean, Saha, Ji I feel like I'm playing Championship Manager, except its all real. Lol
Agree with most of that mate but I feel Larsson will be pushed inside AJ on the right. McClean on the left and I think there's legs to the dempsey rumours and can't see Defoe coming this far north.. He'd get a nose bleed.
Agreed 100% he started out as a centre mid and was bloody good at it too. Also think Dempsey would grab more goals than Defoe.
Bardo is out for a good while and as MoN has only dealt in signing players who will improve us so far this season I think if he gets a new right back like he has spoken about they will go straight into the side I rekon -------------- Mignolet -------------- NewRb - O'Shea -- Cuellar - Strinic ------ Larsson ------- Catts --------- Johnson --- Sessegnon ---- McClean -------------- Fletcher --------------- Bardsley Brown Westwood Colback/Gardner New Midfielder Saha New striker probs on loan Rekon Elmo, Meyler, Richardson and Campbell will be sold and Wickham will go out on loan
I think Bardsley (when fit) is one of the most under-rated players in the league. Good going forward, good at the back, good crosser of a ball and can score the odd goal as well. You can't sign tat for less than £10m (with PL experience)
wouldn't disagree with that apart from 10m bit, more like 5 I would say but IF MoN does get his way and brings in a new right back then whoever it is it will be upto them to keep there spot as Bardo is out for 5-6weeks
Where are David Vaughan and Ji in all this. Not in the team, not on the bench and not being loaned out or sold?
agree with the Vaughan bit, think him or Meyler will go and the other will go next summer at the latest. After this window is over I think MoN will get the scouts out looking for a centre midfielder with some class about there game and Meyler and Vaughan will be gone when this player is found weather that be Jan or next summer at the latest as for Ji I would keep him at the club
This would be my team, and you could easily switch this around to be 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 depending on the oppo, esp. with more squad players to call from inc. gards, Meyler, Vaughan providing cover for injuries over all areas of the pitch. Loanees would be Whickham and Noble Titus, Elmore, Ricco, killa and Campbell sold. Shame about Killa and Frazaldo, but .....
