Below is the squad i think we will have going into the season.
Where are we strong? Where do we need to improve and bring in new players??
Mine would be(4-4-2):
GK's:I think these 2 are fine.
GOMES
Alnwick
RB's:These two are also fine
HUTTON
Gunter
CB's:All depends on King and even still think we need to sign another CB especially with Rocha,Gardener etc going.
WOODGATE
KING
Dawson
????----Hudd/Zok/Gunter can fill in-hopefully we sign one!
LB's:Very strong
BALE
Assou-Eketto
RM's:Assuming we sign Bentley this would be wonderful otherwise mabye need another RM to compete with Lennon.
BENTLEY
Lennon
CM'sretty decent now-see how Jenas and Hudd develop and how modric gets on.
MODRIC
JENAS
Zokora
Huddlestone
Bostock
LM's:Seems strong and alot of potentiol.
DOS SANTOS
O'Hara
ST's:All depends on Keaneo and Berby if they go we are in desperate need of 2 strikers.
PAVLYCHENKO
ASHARVIN
Bent
Pekhart
1st team:
.......................................Gomes..................................
.........Hutton...........Woodgate..........King............Bale......
.........Bentley..........Modric...............Jenas.....Dos Santos.
..........................Pavlychenko....Asharvin........................
Subs:
Alnwick
Dawson
Assou-Eketto
Huddlestone
Zokora
Lennon
Bent
So On reflection we have a damn good squad. Very strong in virtually all areas. Priorities should be fairly simple.
1.Strikers!!!-IF KEANE and Or Berby leave
2.CB Weather King is fit or not we still need more cover there unless the plan really is to have Zokora or Hudd to fill in there which i'd not be too pleased with and we'd never solve our main problem DEFENCE!!!
3.RM-depends on weather or not we get Bentley if so thats awsome, if not we may need another RM or just a versetile winger also depends on Steed.
BUT Must say we are doing mightly well clearing out all these players i.e Chimbonda,Tainio,Kaboul,Robbo,Steed?,Gardener etc etc bringing in a fair bit of cash to perhaps break even with our purchases so far who should massively improve us and then it's all down to Keane and Berby, if they stay we just use our remaining transfer kitty to get Bentley and a CB and life is great. If one or both go then we hopefully still get Bentley, a CB and 1 or 2 new strikers and depending on who they are i.e Asharivn we could well have an almost 'perfect squad' with a fantastic mix of established,experienced professionals and many many young exciting talents and much competition in all areas.
Is all this change a good thing YES most certiantly. I for one am very optomisic and excited and think the club are doing very very well and are just wating on certian things i.e mabye trying to sign a striker or 2 THEN we may think about letting Keane and/or Berby going, also waiting to sort out a Robbo deal, THEN we can mabye go for Bentley and also waiting on King as to weather we need to go for that CB we've got lined up
it's all dandy.
COYS!
