You are Mcghee (or a new manager if Mcghee is gone by the start of the transfer window). The rules: * It is the start of the January transfer window. * Bolger, Lund, Branston, Eaves and walker all return to their parent clubs as loan extension request have been rejected. * Wayne Brown decides to not sign a new contract and he has walked away from the club on a free. * Riordan is not offered a new deal as didnt impress during his short spell with us. * Bevan, Harrold and Virgo are still injured. With the remaining players in the squad, you now have to decide what is Rovers strongest 11 in a 4-4-2 formation (keeping it simple/basic). If a position cannot be filled in or you dont want to use a certain player at the club who can fill that position then just simple put 'new player'. example: GK new player LB l. brown CB parkes CB kenneth RB woodards LW hammer CM new player CM clarkson RW new player CF new player CF new player subs: gough, paterson, smith, gill, hunter, anyinsah and richards. - even this bench is weak and could do with a refresh. So for me, 5 new 1st team players required, if I was the boss. What would you do if you were the boss under the rules outlined above? Only asking to gauge what you all personally think is needed to give us a team to escape the relegation dog fight were in.
If it was the start of January and we were in that position, and I was the boss, I would fly to Italy and give Mr Higgs a punch up the throat.
"Bolger, Lund, Branston, Eaves and walker all return to their parent clubs as loan extension request have been rejected. " Oh we are so ****ed (even more so) loans are all very well and good if you have a mass of injuries so at least when the loans are finished you have your own players coming back from the injuries we don't, MM has to act and get players lined up for January otherwise we will be playing all the youngsters as we won't even have a squad.
I'll go 1 better and name who I'd sign! A bit football manager I know, but I got bored. GK - Etheridge (I would send my missus to Fulham to suck off as many people as it took to get him back, although it is rumoured we're getting Logan until the end of the season). DR - Woodards DL - L. Brown DC - Parkes DC - Kenneth ML - Andrew Halliday (Get on loan from from 'Boro; hopefully the Muzzy deal would help us) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Halliday_%28footballer%29 MR - James Dayton - In last year of contract so might be tempted to come back to England to prove he can make it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Dayton http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68sheh7i9vg MC - Gill MC - Herold Goulon - No club at the moment and if still in England a friend of mine reckons he sounds like just what we need. (Could also check with 'Boro what he was like for them) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A9rold_Goulon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l-ENPdrCHU ST - Clarkson ST - Rory Donnelly - Loan from Swansea. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rory_Donnelly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpZAa1uJg_w Subs: Gough, Smith, Bolger, Broghammer, Norburn, Hunter, Richards and Anyinsah.
Poor Etheridge he's probably in a Insane Asylum now trying to recover from his traumatic experience of having shyte players in from him Luke Daniels has never been the same since
