So whose going, whose staying,whose coming back an where do we need to strengthen?

 

Full Backs - Robbo gives his all, as does Steinsson but I'm afraid we are weakest at both full back positions.

Left Wing/Left Mid - Petrov has all the talent in the world, just a lazy so and so. Taylor gives 110% but offers little. If only we could morph the two together

Sturridge - If we can get him back great, but I doubt we will. Although I reckon OC will be doing is best to get him back.

Gardner - With the problems with Alonso and doubts whether he will be available next season maybe worth another year if only for cover at full back.

JLS - Hasn't played for 18 months or so, have we really missed him, probably one we can afford off the wage bill however see above with lack of LB cover

Cohen - Bit part squad player, no real impact, not many games. Good to be off the wage bill. Maybe the return of Sean Davis may fill his role?

JOB - Was a talent however injuries curtailed his progress. Again good to be off the wage bill

Blake - Won't be on a great deal, but frees up wages. Tom Eaves to take his place as first team squad player?

Rodrigo - Undecided, will he or won't he be back on loan next season? Danny Ward maybe to take his squad place?

Elmander - 12 goals aren't easy to replace, however at leeast his wages have become available along with those of the above.Needs replacing

Cahill - Wheater & Knight for the first choice pairing with back up to come in?

 

From the ramble above what I mean is I would prioritise the following areas:

 

RB - ??

LB - Warnock

CB - Mathias Jorgensen/Rhys Williams/Boyata (2 from 3)

LW - ??

Strikers - Sturridge

 

I make that at least Six players needed in this season, with the hope that the likes of Vela/Eaves/Ward can fill in when required

Possibly, but I don't think anyone else has said Warnock's worth a punt.

They have you know.

 

There was an entire 2 page thread in his honour because one of the red tops linked us with a ?2m bid.

Wait 'til the Cahill threads go into overdrive. A fun couple of months lie ahead.

i thought boyatta was decent but after seeing him for city yesterday, id rather keep bloody steinson & ricketts.

 

can he play centre half?

I was surprised to see him at right back as he's a center half by trade.

seemed a little small for a stormtrooper though.

 

maybe that was just next to the giant that is yaya toure.

A mate who's a City fan said he's a centre half. A good player by all accounts,but, too many big names in front of him

Stephen Ireland would be a classic Bolton signing. A promising career that has hit a problem. And he's Coyle's type of player. Villa want rid.

Not necessarily. Depends how badly Villa want him off their books.

The fallout with Houllier seems irreparable and that leaves room for a hard bargain to be driven.

My guess is that a club would be in with a shout with a ?3m bid.

His bint was on BBC 3 last night on some program called Young, Loaded and House Hunting.

 

She said he's on 50-60k a week.

 

All that cash and fuck all class.

15 million over 4 years

 

yes, yes, they'll be queuing around the block for this fella with more issues than maradona

Hows his gran these days?

Ireland also cannot play in a 4-4-2 so would be a pointless signing.
