Aden Flint, yeah, we can never have too many 6ft 4 centre backs!

Ha! My thoughts exactly.

To be fair, it's not worked too badly for Leicester and it's not worked too badly for us either.

It's all down to what tactics we're going to use. I'm quite happy having big lumps at the back as long as we're not playing a high line and provided we've got plenty of pacey attackers.

It's the pacey attackers bit we need to sort out. Jordon Ibe wouldn't be a bad start!

Peter Crouch and Charlie Adam? I hope not!!!

Charlie Adam I don't mind, but not Peter Crouch.

We need good full backs.

IN:
I'd like to see 2 full backs, 2 creative midfielders and one striker.

OUT:
Lambert, Anichebe, McClean (won't happen unfortunately), Berahino, Pocognoli and Gamboa.

I'd keep the last 3 but it's obvious the club wants rid of them.

So that's 5 in, 6 out. 5 isn't a particularly large amount of new recruits so i'd like us to up the quality given the cash we'll have to spend including money from Berahino.

Lambert and Anichebe definitely need to go. But another striker is a must. Benteke would do the job. But it wont be him.

Poco should be kept and played and Pulis should be shown the door.

As to Charlie Adam and Peter Crouch... FFS. Why not just sign 10 goalkeepers and hoof every clearance up to Crouchy.

An interesting idea, Midland. Our formation would then resemble our recent goals-for scorelines: 0-0-1.

The most important thing to do first of all is to rid our club of Pulis and the Pulis disease. Only when all traces of the slimy terd are removed can we move forward.

The Pulis 'spin-team' will argue we are safe again, it's only points not performance that counts and that to be the most boringly unattractive team in the entire league is a success. An ambition of17th place is all they hope for.

What's happened to JH - not seen him of late. Has he been moved by the Pulis Spin-Doctor team to another forum?

Not a transfer rumour but we've been linked with Brendan Rogers.

Wouldn't be my first choice but surely anything is better than Pulis?!

Your thoughts?

Nigel Pearson, if we can not have end of season tours to Thailand.

Smart money would be appointing Benitez once the Toon feck off to where they deserve to be.

Won't happen tho...

Gotta laff at some of this stuff...

Would make that swap in an instant.

Bera's ar5e gets any bigger it will need it's own squad number next season.

Apparently Brendan Rogers is being mentioned in the context of playing - not managing.

TP thinks he looks the ideal sort of solid lump to fill a space somewhere at the back.

Pearson might make a decent centre back too....

Anichebe is leaving the club. JH will be gutted.

Albion being linked with Ermin Bicakcic:

http://talksport.com/football/stoke-and-west-brom-battle-hoffenheims-bosnian-defender-ermin-bicakcic-160516195997

At 6 foot 1 he's about 3 inches to short for a Pulis centre back so it seems unlikely!

Terence Kongolo. 22 year old Dutch International defender. He can play centre back or left back:

Yep, Demba Ba will bring our average age down

Enner Valencia:

Injury prone + not very prolific = No thanks!
