I'd definately have Lucus in there as he was our best player last season! We'd also have a different formation to 4-4-2, something along the lines of 4-2-3-1, come back at the end of the transfer window and I'll give you my team

Charlie Adam's corners are worth £10m, looks like we got a bargain then! (U4953)

-----

Fergie only said that so you'd have to pay more.

He only said that to make you pay more........................................... Well, we paid less.

Nobody can tell you what the strongest 11 will be next season, as the window hasn't shut yet and you don't know who else we will sign. If your going to put Downing in there, I could put anyone in there!

I don't think that our spending would stop at downing if we got him!

Going by last season, these were the best players:

----------------------Reina---------------------
Kelly..........Carra------Skrtel----Johnson
=======Meireles=====Lucas======
====Kuyt===Gerrard/Spearing---Maxi
----------------Suarez------------------------

Although when fit these ARE the best players imo:

-----------------------Reina------------------------
Kelly----------Carra-------Agger-------Aurelio
-----------Meireles-------------Lucas------------
----Kuyt-------------Gerrard------------Maxi----
-------------------Suarez---------------------------

and next season maybe this!!!!!:

-----------------------Reina------------------------
Johnson-----Carra-------Agger-------new lb
-----------------------Lucas------------------------
----Kuyt----Gerrard----Adam----Downing---
-------------------Suarez---------------------------

What about Meireles?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meireles will be sold.

Inter Milan will pick him up for £15m, Chelsea will put in a late bid as per usual with an offer of approx £75m but he'll turn them down.
Seeing as he won't want to be in the same team as a Nancy Boy who needs 120 attempts before finding the back of the net.

At the moment:
Reina
Kelly Carra Agger Johnson
Lucas
Gerrard Adam
Kuyt Merelles Suarez
Carrol

Or

Reina
Kelly Carra Agger Johnson
Gerrard Lucas Adam
Kuyt Carrol Suarez
But at the beginning of the season who knows.

Forget the first team I put out in as its got 12 players - Doh!

No thanks, we don't want your cast-offs, we prefer nicking your best players instead

Hmm.. nicked for a cool £50m.

Thanks for that.

That helped us pay for Suarez, Henderson & Adam.

+ change left over.

Thank God for the Russian Mafia !
