Fun thread. Not very realistic, but I'm interested to see how the good people of SC rate our players.
Here's the plan. You're given a pretend £20m to spend on the team. Money can also be generated from player sales, which can also be used to strengthen the team. I want you to list me what your squad would be if you could buy and sell players at your will. If you want to keep it as it is, bringing in only 1 or 2 players, that's cool. If you feel the need to sell our entire squad and start again, go for it! It's not hugely realistic, just a bit of fun.
OK, so I'll start off. I'd go with 2 players for every position (for the first team squad) in a 4-5-1.

I'd also be cheeky and keep Tainio (who can cover all central midfield positions). Also keeping 3 strikers, as Keano can cover the wing positions too if need be.
I know some of you will be quite confused by my signing of half the Blackburn team, and loaning out Dawson, but I see the moves as the best options of all involved right now.
