Johnson completes 45 minutes for England and is replaced at HT.
Don't think we will get Coentrao unfortunately and I don't think Santon will leave Italy in all honesty. Honda would not fit into our set up so we can all forget about him since we have Gerrard, Suarez and Meireles all able to play in the advanced role behind the striker.
Sakho - 10m
Young -15m
Adam - 5m
Enrique - 13m
At this point in time that is what I would realistically expect.
I am pretty impressed with Cahill and he would be my CB of choice. He's English, good in the air and on the ground.
I thought Kuyt was trying to find his team-mate, rather than going for goal.
If we got told by the start of next season we'll sign:
Gary Cahill, Enrique, Adam, Young, Jarvis would everyone be happy?
I'd be happy with that. My ideal summer recruitment would be:
Mertescaker, Coentrao, Hazard, Adam and Mvila. Insert those 5 into our starting lineup and we are an EPL winning team.
So all you gotta do is spend 100 mill . Easy enough
Won't the FIFA fair play rules stop us from spending so much though?If we sell Aquilani (13 million), Skrtel (6 million), Cole (5 million), Jovanovic (6 million - that's what NUFC offered for him in the transfer window!!!), Poosen (4 million) that's 34 million recouped.
I'd imagine that A Young would go for 20 mill (not long on his conttact), Hazard 30 million, Mertescaker 10-15 million, Coentrao 10 million and Mvila 20 million.
I'd be happy with that. My ideal summer recruitment would be:
Mertescaker, Coentrao, Hazard, Adam and Mvila. Insert those 5 into our starting lineup and we are an EPL winning team.
You would probably end up with a 11 like
Reina
Johnson Mertsacker Agger Coentrao
Young Meireles M'Villa Hazard
Suarez Carroll
Jones, Kelly, Carragher, Gerrard, Adam, Kuyt, Lucas
Probably the highest paid bench of all time
That team would win the EPL IMO.
Because unless the EPL midfielders get 100 times slower what hes doing this season simply wont happen in the higher tempo league. Aqua spends more time over the ball than GrandBlue does stroking his penis to a Borussia Dortmund squad poster. That hasnt changed since he left. You can get a carbon clone type player in Charlie Adam for half the price with half the risk involved. Sell while he still has high value really
Won't the FIFA fair play rules stop us from spending so much though?
Though he didn't get anytime to adapt to the prem, he just come back from a serious ankle injury and during the season he continued to get sickness etc, i'd like to see him given more time personally.
Why take the risk when Charlie Adam is waiting in the wings. If Charlie Adam signs for Spurs or someone else then giving Aquilaini a go might be on the cards but otherwise its just a pointless risk to take. The 12 mill would be much better spent elsewhere.
The entire reason for Aqua going is he didnt want to be a part of the bench and if he retuned that is where he would end up.
