A slightly more realistic scenario would be: it's summer, we finished 8th and had no money but we've sold Rodwell for £18m and Yobo for nothing, say, £500k and have £12m to spend. Pienaar is game to stay and Spurs will sell him for £4m. I'd get: him, that Manolas kid, maybe the german fella who we missed out on and break the bank on a replacement for Rodwell for around £5-6m (Kranjcar?). And Drenthe if he's proved he's worth it. If not another Drenthe type on loan will do. OH and Straq of course. No right back because I want Hibbert to score ffs.
.............................Howard
.....Hibbert.......Jagielka......Heitinga.......Baines
.............................Fellaini
........Drenthe..........Kranjcar?.........Pienaar
.............................Barkley
.............................Jelavic
Bench: Mucha, Distin, Straq, Cahill, Osman, Coleman, Gibson
So,
In: Pienaar, Drenthe, Straq, Kranjcar, Manolas (actually, forget the German lid)
Out: Rodwell, Yobo, throw Gueye out on loan, maybe the Vell too.
Needless to say, the wage bill would be fecking astronomical, like.
Creativity sorted, strikers... meh, not bad, good bench, great depth - league won for sure. ME IN FFS.
