Cavani says he'd prefer a move to Spain - reckon it'll be Malaga, Madrid and Barce don't need or want him and Atletico/Sevilla/Valencia etc. are all not any better than Napoli

Morning

Instead of selling all our useless players, we should use them as part exchange.

Why is Essien in your dream team?

because he is a daemon

Well, if only we bought Higuain, Cavani, Goetze, Modric and Cahill in January.

I'd say that will total a cost of £120m.

There are lots of players I would attempt to sell in summer and January...

Hilario
Bosingwa
Ferriera
Alex
Essien
Mikel
Anelka
Kalou
Malouda
Drogba

.

I'd say

Higuain (£20-£25m)
Cavani (£30m)
Goetze (£25m)
Modric (£45m)
Cahill (£5-£10m)

'Essien'

BK=doof

But I agree with the rest of yor list, other Ferreira who is boss.

Any decent RB around?

Reckon we can get Sergio Ramos?

Higuain £40m, Cavani £40m, Goetze £35m, Modric £50m and Cahill £6m. Total £171m.

Gazza....

Modric would go for £40m provided we offered makeweights.

Real want Neymar/Cavani/Llorente, they would sell Higuain relatively cheap, because for wahtever reason, he isn't massively in-favour despite his ability.

Goetze will cost £30m at tops. Sorry, but he has not done enough for them to ask more.

And when you say Cavani will cost £40m, I almost wet myself with laughter.

Agree with Cahill though.

Any decent RB around?

Reckon we can get Sergio Ramos?

Maybe.

Tbh, I can;t think of many world class RBs.

I would like to keep one of Essien/Mikel if we stay 4-3-3 but I would prefer us to go 4-2-3-1 and at the most we should have 5 deep midfelders for that...Lampard definately won't be sold so it would have to be Essien and Mikel

We only need one of Higuain and Cavani. (28 mil, for Cavani we can offer Anelka/Kalou/Alex)

Neymar (45 mil)

Modric (35 mil + Drogba and Lampard)

one of mikel/essien

you joke, no decisipn needs to be made between them, we both know mikel should be out the door.

Segio Ramos isn't world class

Instead of going aiming for someone like Lahm or Sergio Ramos I think we should be looking at cheap, young players who can become very good. Ideally it would be Montoya at Barce. He's out of contract next summer so would be cheap and is the typical Barce player from what I read on him, good technically and good positioning, attacks well and passes quickly and has a good cross, will also have been training in a high pressure and line defence all his Barce career.

Others are Hugo Mallo who's a highly rated young RB at Celta who apparently both Marid and Barce are interested in...or maybe even Clyne at Palace. He impressed against United, is English and I know he's in the championship but he's been cnsistently one of their best players since around 18, and Walker was playing championship football just a year ago and now most of us would take him

Hazard over Neymar, drop Modric and that would be fine

If our squad looked like this in the summer I;d be happy:

Cech, Turnbull, Courtois, Cole, Bertrand, Terry, Luiz, Ivanovic, Cahill, van der Wiel, Ferreira, Essien, Romeu, Meireles, Modric, Ramires, Lampard, Mata, Benayoun, Cavani, Sturridge, Kakuta,, Torres, Higuain.

I;d also try and get DuBruyne, then loan him out, I;d also loan out Lukaku, McEachran, PVA and continue Bruma's loan.

Of course, Bosingwa, Kalou, Malouda, Drgoba, Hllarious, Alex and Anelka would all leave.

Swap Montoya for VDW, sell Ferriera, sell Benayoun and keep Josh. I also don't get why you want two strikers that would cost 70m+? So we would have 3 strikers that cost 120m+ altogether yet only one of them would start

in summer/January

Godin
Montoya
de Bruyne
Hazard
Jaaskelainen/Guzan/Gordon/Sorenson/Ruddy (all 5 are on a Bosman in summer)

Out in summer/winter:
Hilario
Ferriera
Bosingwa
Alex
Essien
Mikel
Kalou
Anelka
Malouda
Drogba

2012 teams...:
1st;
Cech
Montoya/Ivanovic Luiz Godin/Terry Bertrand
Ramires Romeu/Miereles
Sturridge Mata Hazard
Torres

2nd:
Sorenson
Montoya Ivanovic Godin/Terry Cole
Lampard Romeu/Miereles McEachran
Kakuta Lukaku deBruyne

Other players:
Blackman
Hutchinson
Chalobah
C.Clifford
Lalkovic

On loan:
Courtois
Delac
Kalas
ADC
B.Clifford
PVA
Mellis
Davila
A.Phillip

Or you could get a new striker like Ba for the second team and let Lukaku go on loan

Gazza, Npe this is what it should be like.

Higuain - Definitely under £30 mil, mainly because it's Real Madrid who are selling. Plus I just don't see Higuain being sold for 30+ mil.

Cavani - Probably valued at just under £40mil, we could get him for £30 + Kalou/Anelka + Alex

Goetze - around £30, we could get him for cheaper by part exchange,

Cavani -
