... nocturnal thread for the post 606 closing time thing, feels good to still be able to comment at this time so let's make decent use
Okay so just for the sake of it, King Kenny has £50m given to him to spend in the summer, you have to buy 5 players ( try and keep it realistic ) who would you all go for?!
Mine didn't take much thought but here goes:
Hazard - £15m
J. Enrique - £10m
Rolando - £10m (Phil Jones or Gary Cahill if English required, although i believe more or less same prices)
M'villa(sp?) £8-10m?
Albrighton as the British option - Yes i know this would take it over 50, but i was desperately struggling lol! - Not sure maybe £12m for him?!
Cheers guys your players would be appreciated
Can we create a..

iCraft,
I'd argue the right side of midfield is more a priority as Suarez is more left and we need pace and trickery down that right side for games where kuyt just isn't breaking teams down: see tottenham. Personally think we should treat kuyt as a striker now and look to replace him as a fixture on the right and use him if injuries hit or we want a more solid formation.

Yea I know, mate and Downing's possibly been Villa's best player for you this season. I'm sure Dalglish would get the best out of him.

Adam Johnson is better than Downing in my books lads (boro fan) although have to admit that Stewart's had a good season.
========================================
Agreed!
On Aquilani... I think he should come back. Highly talented and would fit into Kenny's system very well.

Well, alternatively we could go...
LB - Enrique - £10m
CM - M'vila - £15m
LM - Vargas - £15m
RM - N'Zogbia - <£10m
Again Vargas can cover LB.
Charles can cover LM.

1 player i would love at Anfield is Juan Mata from Valencia. think the guy is a class act.
Onto more realistic matters if the rumours that we've enquired about Hazard are true then that would be a great bit of business, a young player with bags of potential who has the creative spark that we've lacked for a long time.
Onto defenders. never in a million years would i be happy that we payed 25m odd for Gary Cahill, good defender yes. world class no. if he wasn't English he'd be worth around 10-12m

Apparently Liverpool, Man Utd and Man City have all contacted Juan Mata's agent about a transfer.

N'zogbia and downing both good suggestions but as I've said a few times we need top quality if possible because spreading your money around won't help us to catch up with those teams above us.
I second the Mata suggestion! Also saw a YouTube video of him the other day and the Valencia team was absurdly good in hindsight. Him, silva, villa and joauquin just to name some

==================================
Good team overall.
I think Johnson is still our best right back one of the most important players.
442 doesn't suite our style of player and central midfielder.

N'Zogbia is immense. He is top class and I guarentee that he'd be better than most of what we could afford.
