This might end up being a long thread, but here goes. Taking the current squad, and starting with the most important player to us, rank them in terms of expendability. Kind of like the MVP (Most Valuable Player) in the US.

Here's mine:

Arteta
Pienaar
Saha
Baines
Jagielka
Cahill
Fellaini
Neville
Howard
Heitinga
Yakubu
Bilyaletdinov
Osman
Rodwell
Yobo
Distin
Hibbert
Coleman
Anichebe
Vaughan
Gosling
Senderos
Duffy
Nash
Baxter
Wallace
Jutkiewicz
Turner
Ruddy
Agard

Why not just say who you want to bin off.

Anichebe
Vaughan
Gosling
Senderos
Duffy
Nash
Baxter
Wallace
Jutkiewicz
Turner
Ruddy
Agard
Yobo
Hibbert
Osman

Sell all these and buy Messi.

MG - that lot wouldn't buy Messi's big toe!

We can start with the toe. Within 10yrs we could own his right leg.

I prefer Vaughan to Anichebe. I think he's quite an intelligent footballer and could contribute something different. I don't think either of them have a lot of goals in them though.

Duffy looks like he could be a really good player. He's got good composure on the ball, reads the game well, leadership, versatility and he knows where the goal is. I've seen nothing from Wallace or Baxter to indicate why the coaching staff rate them so highly.

I thought Gosling could be a decent wingback. I don't see him having enough about him to win the right midfield jersey.

Hibbert - Sell
Anichebe - Loan
Vaughan - Loan
Duffy - Loan
Nash - Gone
Baxter - Loan
Wallace - Loan
Jutkiewicz - Loan
Turner - Loan
Ruddy - Loan
Agard - Loan

Keep everyone else.

Well my list, theres a few good players in there, players like Vaughan, Gosling, who maybe at some point will turn out to be decent players, but I was ruthless with the axe, I only kept the A grade players.

I was half expecting to see in the Echo - Liverpool in hunt for Messi this morning.

And all these lunatics dressed in red marching to get him signed. Then I realised, they're a selling club

The thing with the Goose is that ability to pop up the box and either score or get a chance...he needs games. But with us, that goal threat is massive especially for a young lad.

No love for Big Vic....even though he's done more than Vaughan in the Premiership and Europe.
