Out:

+ Jo out on loan

I would say the exact same with Joleon Lescott and a big centre forward brought in too. I would get rid of a few more though.

I would keep Fernandes though as back up for De Jong or Kompany, if he would accept beeing reserve.
I guess we still have Zab capable of playing defensive mid, but I think we get more out him as RB.
Hamann should be transfered to the staff, if he wanted it himself ofcourse.

the outs list is going to be fecking huge


i think we need to prepare ourselves for the ins - it won't be as star studded as we think, more lescott and carew than aguero and eto'o

i don't have a problem with this - we need to build a solid squad with strength in depth

IN:
GK Cover
CB: Hangeland or similar
FB: Lahm or someone else who can play either side pretty well. Or Zhirkov to play LB or LW.
ST: that fella Dzeko that someone mentioned. 6'3, 23, 30 in 33 this season in Germany. Or someone equally lethal with a bit of physical presence.

And obviously, if there's a chance of a world class player becoming available, we might as well be in for them, but these positions are the most important to strengthen imo.

These are the only ones in there that are good and are realistic targets. IMO

Who's Angel Rangel

Some right back who plays for Swansea.

If I could have 5 of that list that would be sort of realistic / possible if we threw enough money at them, I'd go for;

Brede Hangeland
Yaya Toure
Arjen Robben
Sergio Aguero
Emmanuel Adebayor

In:

Dario Srna
Miguel Veloso
Claudio Marchisio
Sergio Aguero
Giorgio Chiellini

Yes Please.

Out:

Ball
Benjani
Evans
TBH
Didi
Gelson
Vassell
Etuhu
Berti
Mills

Loan:

Sturridge (if he stays)
Hart
Jo
Caicedo

All with the option of calling back in case of injuries.

Wiki'd this guy to check out his stats, he looks like he's sitting for his school photo - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dario_Srna. Seems a decent player but think we're pretty well covered down the right flank with SWP, Elano, Zabs, Richards and now Weiss.

plays for Swansea.

thts too much

For some reason i thought he was capable of playing left-side as well hmm.

In that case go for Taiwo/Zhirkov/Lahm.

Swansea full back.
