Our keepers and back 4 are fine, we have plenty of cover there

Our rebuilding starts from the midfield for definite

Kevin MacNaughton at left midfield for me.....our version of Ji-Sung Park, giving the left back more protection

Have previoulsy said this, new manager is usually stuck with players with 2/3 years left on their contract and can only bring in a few of their own players, with us new guy can literally bring 10 new faces of his own liking.

Kevin MacNaughton at left midfield for me.....our version of Ji-Sung Park, giving the left back more protection

Thank god your not our manager!

I'd Have doris and the angel from the jack no problem

Robson-Kanu welsh connection if Bellers decides..

Sotirios Kyrgiakos doubles up as a hit man when on the back foot playing up front
nugent still young and able
ernie still competent at this level

put the beast out to graze

I believe we need to start the rebuilding in the middle of the park, we were overun too many times last season and the season before for my liking, obviously a striker or two would be more than welcome as well.

thats why i put nugent a ernie

clearly midfield is our focus plus we should hope to get Bellers back

Naylor, Gyepes, Chopra and Taiwo need to go !

i would give gypes another season

i would give gypes another season

I agree, Gabor was quality and played in every match in October when we won 5 matches in a row! Then he makes 1 mistake and DJ slates him and pretty much plays him never again!

i would give gypes another season

my heart couldnt take another season of him, everytime he got the ball or it came within 10ft of him i squirmed and peeped through my fingers

good at defending, but he had the touch of an elephant and a head like f*cking kryton!

thats right bob as long as the moneys there or he boxes clever he can virtualy get his own side, these are available from the premiership, not sure how old the list is and if anyone has been snapped up yet

They are just the players i'd have from that list! We won't get them all but i'd be happy with anyone off that list.

yeh what i meant by the original topic was who would you add to what we have left and what would you do with what we currently have.
BLUE=first team, BLACK=subs, GREEN=fringe/cup RED=time to move on

so you can see from this i think we need to buy midfielders and strikers with a back up goalkeeper and allround defender

obviusly players coming in would be first team or subs bench depending on fitness, think i got a good side there

Our rebuilding starts from the midfield for definite

Our keepers and back 4 are fine, that's cheered me up, didnt look fine at watford away, boro at home.
for me kev at right back, huds and dek, need to plug that hole on the left, not a patch up job which jones continually done...i would like to see a new keeper that can come out and command his area.
