just noticed schweinsteiger takes his free kicks with his right foot. i thought he was a left winger? he could solve our problem on the right side.

Quite right ESM, sick of harping on about this really, we have 13 strikers on our books and a very thin midfield. We could throw ANY striker up front and if he isnt getting service, well you've seen what happens frustratioin ensues...and conversely with excellent service Dickov could be putting balls in nets.

Where do we need new faces? For me;

Right winger, we are desperate here. Paramount.
Creative midfielder to play with/in place of Elano, Johnson and Ireland. We're in good nick with Gelson and Hamann at holding/winning ball roll. I do think we need to replace Hamman in January. He's played his bit part well, but time marches.
Left Back. Another troublesome area, Ball is good but goes missing sometimes, and Garrido is second string only.
Centre half if Dunne goes, we need another. Micah, Corluka and Nedum aren't enough if injuries occur.

I think we need a back up to Hamman & Gelson, someone with the experience of Hamman and the energy of Gelson. I can see them sharing the role through the season but with Hamman probably only lasting another season we need someone to bed in for a season. No idea who though, Huddlestone maybe?

A right winger definately otherwise we're left with giving the ball to Petrov and him shooting off down the wing at 100mph, need some balance and something to give other teams to think about. There's obviously Bentley but he's probably off down south so maybe Lennon, Milner, Pennant, Benayoun or even Routledge but would we want any. You might notice that I can't be bothered thinking of any foreigners right now!

Creativity-wise there's obviously Johnson & Ireland. I'd maybe think about dropping Elano a bit further back and allow him to move around a bit like Fabregas finding the killer passes that unlock the defenses.

Whether he joins or not, we'll be fine this season, and then in the Summer we will build a stunning team, the perfect blend of our youth players, stars and solid signings.

The world is a beautiful place. You must go into it and love everyone. Try to make everyone happy, and bring peace and contentment everywhere you go. And so I became a waiter ... Well, it's not much of a philosophy I know ... but well ... fuck you! I can live my own life in my own way if I want to! Fuck off!
