The rebuilding job

If we have a budget already of say £15m (which we should easily)

Out/Sell:

Neville
Gueye 500k
Heitinga £3m
Fellaini £25m
Jelavic £4m

In:
Fer £10m
Lakaku £15m
Begovic £8m
Isco £16m



Begovic
Coleman Jagielka Distin Baines
Gibson Fer
Mirallas Isco Pienaar
Lakaku

I think getting the likes of Isco would depend on Champions League football but what a team that would be.

It depends were we are next season if its Europe we will need numbers, if its just the PL i would go for three or so quality type signings. I wouldnt panic on the squad profile and i think its less of a crisis then many suggest, i think hes talking in the context of players coming in to the squad given time to settle, thenin the next three years become increasingly importtant players - we've seen it all before. We dont buy ready made players a lot - we make them.

:huh:no chance

Okay 28 million . Fellaini 25 million Guaye 3 million

The Europa league is the big unknown. if we make it and approach it the way Spurs have then a massive re-think is needed over the squad. maybe a more realistic and useful approach would be to play a second string throughout the league stages because one glaring thing this season is not just lack of depth in some positions but the experience of the cover, out of form players seem to have been drafted in because of experience when we should have been more confident bringing in players who may have to be the heart of the team in three years

 

[throughthewindandthedrain]

so if Europa league and Fellajni part of next season I would say three signings along line of Stones and one quality defensive mid

Haha this thread makes me laugh. Your dreams will be **** down come summer I guarantee this, I even look at it myself and start to dream and then remember who our board are And what they are capable of. Be prepared to lose Fellaini and Bring in McCarthy and for the rest of that money to be banked with maybe one or two obscure signings from Greece and France coming in and failing to make an impact.

On that note I think it's time to start using our academy system more effectively. Yes Barkley hasn't looked great at times but give him a run in his actual position. Lets use Duffy, Lundstram, Garbutt, Stones, that is 5 squad players straight away. If we can add a couple of experienced faces around this then great but until there is a change at board level our academy is the future.

I think we should go after Danny Welbeck


- young and talented
- available £18-20m (about 60,000/week)
- brilliant player, overrated
- not scoring enough in ManU so could be sacrificed
- fast as thompsons gazelle
- would lift us to the next level and give us jizzattacks for many years to come


so lets invest the tv money to DANNY BOY

fixed for your finners

But in all seriouness he is a good player, but not for 18 - 20 million

 

[GwladysBlue]

Okay 28 million . Fellaini 25 million Guaye 3 million

Why would anyone pay £3m for Gueye?

Chelsea won't sell Lukaku he's 19 and he is turning into a monster. Isco signed a new contract in January which increased his buyout clause to around £30m so you can rule him out.

 

[throughthewindandthedrain]

Why would anyone pay £3m for Gueye?

can't see us getting anything for him , which makes me wonder if any point getting shut, he has looked woeful but when our squad as thin as it is then might be worth waiting on a few players just in case. only say this because like many others I would have snapped peoples hands off for 3 million for Anichebe at start of season.

It could be included in the Fellaini deal. I didn't know that, I thought his buy out was still £16m, though they could be forced to sell anyway due to their financial position.

 

[billy bluestar]

Didn't we make a 10 million loss, last year. You know, everton will not got a great deal off money. Unless we are able to get some decent loan, off somebody. We have the guarantee now, of the extra tv revenue.

 

[MickM86]

Keep Magaye Gueye because he will get better as he gets older. He will eventually replace Pienaar. Sell Heitinga, Fellaini for now.

In a few years we will have McAleny playing in the first team as well as Stones, Barkley.

 

[Blue Truth]

We'll sign at LEAST 5 players. At least. Quote me on this, norevenarsed

This

Wouldn't be surprised at all if it was 6 or 7. At least 4 going as well.

 

[ijjysmith]

Some utter rubbish in here!

Isco?! Ok mate.

Negredo an attacking midfielder?

Christ.
