With Jerome off the bench for impact. Oh yes.

With 30m in the bank and not 'a chairman in the clink' this would work

Isnt Hargreaves crocked???
I mean, not a viable proposition physically anymore?
Apart from the fact we couldnt afford his wages...

Aparently he released a video on you tube showing his fitness. He is on a free. He wants to prove to the world he isnt finnished. A pay as you play contract would be just the ticket for him, dont forget this isnt a starting eleven I think we will start with, just a bit of fun to while away a dull day with rain interupted cricket but half of that team wouldnt be a bad start now would it.

Yes just a bit of fun.
Just as funny is the sniping from gers fans now Alex has crossed the Witton lake into the great unknown.

Jenas?
No thanks
Most of that squad spends more time in the doctors office than on the pitch

We dont want to know about that, we want to see how good he is....
Lets look at Youtube for a good player, that Costly looks a bit alright
Seriously though yes he would be decent but i think he would want more than £15K a week i doubt he would want less than that as garunteed income.
He is a player more a like to McLeish's style, maybe Eck can sign him and Reo-Coker that 2 men as part of his wall, add Muamba and now McLeish is side is looking good
As far as the XI we simply do not know whats going to happen, we can assume that the players who can fetch over £3M and those who earn over £15K would all be shipped out apart from Carr.
But we just dont know if we get peanuts in return, i think we could be looking at 25% of whats made invested back, if its a lot less than that, well i cant see us getting Promoted plain and simple.

On that list Puncheon and Kamara could be posibilities we certainly need to be looking at that kind of level, or even like Best, Guthrie and Routledge.
Yes some would come with small fees, but we need to make sure at least half those player we sign are on the same level as those.
That could mean some frees as Kamara i think would be better than Best yet Kamara is free and Best could cost £1.5M
If Rooney and Burke are the best of the players we will sign so every other player will not be better than them that wont give us a side on paper that is better than no more than 20 other sides and thus a 5th-8th could be a challenge next season let alone Promotion.
