If you were the manager...

trenty21 · 02-12-2008, 08:54 PM

If you were the manager of the team you support who would you be looking to get in and why?

and

Who would be the player(s) you'd be getting rid of.

Think about team chemistry who would make your team work.

You can pretend money is no object or be more realistic, your choice. Just curious to see if people will just pick top class players or put more thought into it.

10Totti10 · 02-12-2008, 08:56 PM

Well, id get a new keeper an attacking winger

so:

Sergio Asenjo for keeper(hes up for grabs!)

Nilmar for the winger

Cruzer32 · 02-12-2008, 08:58 PM

would get rid of players that dont get much time and a big gun for cash and bring in quresma for passing totti to send balls up and strike with torres or babel up top and lw some1

Danthomas2005 · 02-12-2008, 08:58 PM

A new LB (experienced so he can allow Emiliano to progress)

and a RW (Kuyt isn't one and Pennant is crap)

ForeverBlue'86 · 02-12-2008, 08:59 PM

Get Abramovich in a head lock and ask for £100M for Messi - not much to ask is it? ;-)

Quaresma..

Rafa already said he doesn't want him, and not many Liverpool fans do.. IMO he isn't a good enough player..

And Totti will not leave Roma..

Glorious90 · 02-12-2008, 09:01 PM

I would bring in a new right back (I would like to see Rafinha or someone get a try at Old Trafford.)

I would buy a new goalie, a young one.

And then I would buy two norwegians just to get some norwegian in the side again. I think I would go for Per Ciljan Skjelbred and Tarik Elyounoussi.
Oh! and Vegard Forren.

in a head lock.

MaschPotato · 02-12-2008, 09:01 PM

Bale in. Dossena out
Glen Johnson in. Arba as backup
Benayoun, Voronin out.

Heskey( if hes free) and Agbonlahor in
Young in

----------Reina------------

Johnson-Carra-Agger/Skrtel--Bale---

Young--Gerard--Mascherano--Riera---

-------Torres--Agbonlahor-----

SUBS/BACKUPS:
Cavalieri
aurelio
arbeloa
heskey
babel
pennant
alonso
lucas
keane
kuyt
etc.

Two attacking fullbacks who can defend aswell but offer decent support for the wingers. Young arguably the best crosser in the league to get more width and Agbonlahor for just being Agbonlahor

barajma92 · 02-12-2008, 09:03 PM

Well, I could name some topplayers like Ronaldo, Fabregas, Messi etc. but that wouldn't be realistic, so...

I think I would buy a proper defender, maybe someone like Boulahrouz. I know that he has been bad in England/Spain but I think he would fit well in Holland.

Besides, I would buy a CDM. We already have Eyong Enoh, from Cameroon, who plays well at the moment, but he's too inconsistent. So I would try to buy someone like Engelaar from Schalke or Mendes da Silva from AZ.

And if Huntelaar would leave, I think Ajax don't really need another striker, because we can play 4-4-2 instead with Suarez&Sulejmani up front..

That's about it..

Decent squad that

But do we really need that amount of forwards?

ILCaesar · 02-12-2008, 09:04 PM

I'd try to get

De Silvestri
Di Gennaro
Osvaldo
Fiorillo
Dessena
Ranocchia

I'd get rid of Kalac, Kaladze, Sheva, Emerson

Didnt you forget Kuyt??

fitz15 · 02-12-2008, 09:08 PM

Tosic.
really though i think we do need another winger, and id love to see us get either ashley young or quaresma. after that i am really happy with our squad, we have great depth in every other area of the park.

Zokora, Jenas & Assou-Ekkotto. - out

Cavhenhagi - Appiah [on a Free Transfer] - Felipe Jorge Loureiro (Felipe)

Well, considering he says he doesn't plan on coming to Italy soon, I wouldn't want to have him sold here only to not like it and disrupt the chemistry.

mauber · 02-12-2008, 09:27 PM

For Milan I would buy Pepe, Santacroce, Benzema/Rossi and Akinfeev
and get rid of Kalac, Favalli, Emerson, Dida

King-Osgood-1690 · 02-12-2008, 10:44 PM

I would get rid of Malouda and use the money to get Aiden McGeady

Black Cat Bellerby · 02-12-2008, 10:46 PM

Sunderland

IN:

Jonny Evans(Loan)
Benayoun
Gomis

Do you even have a team left after getting rid of all of those?

MANU4EVAR · 02-12-2008, 11:03 PM

Offload Senderos for good, mebbe he can take up the position of milan waterboy.

Avoidconfusion · 02-12-2008, 11:04 PM

Out / In:

Michael Ball / Taye Taiwo
Tal Ben Haim / Kolo Toure
Darius Vassell / Michael Owen
Benjani / David Villa (had to be one unrealistic target in there somewhere)

In:

Diarra
Wayne Bridge
Aguero (ok another unrealistic one)

Could do with another top left winger perhaps and definitely another box to box midfielder, can't think of any though.

Would love a real top class right back as well (Zabaleta is not good enough).
