    Free transfer United

    GK: Richard Kingson
    RB: Stuart Parnaby
    LB: Jlloyd Samuel
    CB: Matthew Upson
    CB: Sol Campbell
    MD: Jason Koumas
    MD: Boudewijn Zenden
    MD: Thomas Hitzlsperger
    CF: James McFadden
    CF: Marcus Bent
    CF: John Carew


    These are some of the free players available.
    I picked the Championship as that's the standard i think they are.
    Forgetting about subs, where do you think they would finish?

    10th? It seems very competitive this season

    Besides it all depends on the manager too.. they could probably get promoted with someone like Mourinho!

    mid table, a high average age would get you nowhere against all the young hungry talent down there. oh how i miss the championship, it sucked being a division down, but we werent headlines for the stupidest reason, all fans of other clubs were ACTUAL fans of the club also. No stupid glory hunting Manc's, Chelski, Citeh or Arse'n'all fans going around like they own the prem.

    Have bags of respect for every supporter of that division. True fans.

    Under a good manager I reckon they'd have a chance of play-offs, but being thrown together and having no pre-season to warm up they'd probably struggle to finish above Boro in a relegation scrap.

    Top 5 ish, some good underrated players there like McFadden and Carew for instance.

    Really? I don't think he'd get in front of any of our first five or even the likes of Abeid, Gosling and Guthrie.

    Carew, McFadden & Hitzlsperger would probably be too much for many of the Championships teams. Top half, probably not quite play offs. 6th-10th?
