The team I'd love to see next season:
Adrian
Trippier/Richards Reid/Tomkins Caulker Armero
Jarvis/Montero Noble Ravel/ Diame Downing
Carroll Drmic
Manager: Laudrup
I am aware it's ambitious but a team like this would really cement our chance at top 10, or even European football.
Trippier and Richards are both very high class players targeted by top 10 clubs. They're both fast and strong and they'd be a better version of Demel. Getting one of them would really be a coup.
CAulker's been relegated, but is quality, should go to the world cup and young. He wouldn;t cost a diisgusting amount of money either.
We need to sign Armero straight away. Don't care what anyone says.
Montero is quick, fast and a good crosser and won't be too much. SIGN HIM. We were linked to him last summer too. SIGN HIM.
Ravel will play for ENgland, and has been solid for QPR. We need to sign him to a stronger contract.
I've a;ways thought we needed a shorter striker to play off Carroll, like Defoe, but Defoes getting old. Drmic has been awesome for Nuremburg, and its very likely they'll be relegated. I know 'Arsenal have been liked, but I'm sure he'd prefer first team football weekly.
Finally, Sam needs to go at some point. I'd happily see him play out his contract, but it looks unlikely. LAudrup was awesome and wrongly sacked for Swansea, won a cup and would make our stye of play more entertaining. He'd be a quality replacement.

Joe Cole - W - FREE
Ricardo Vaz Te - W - £3 mil
Carlton Cole - F - £2 mil

No way would we get 5 million for cole and vaz te
Diarra collison think henderson are all free to leave we won't see a penny I would keep carlton 3rd choice striker and when someone is a free we will still have to pay him a big signing on fee so the maths are wrong would I like lescott/richards defo but don't really see it happening to many better teams chasing them,
3m for collison are you on that funny juice again?

Well safe is good listen its always satisfying to beat spurs let's hope we don't cave in next sunday and give a good show I am truly surprised that although on paper we are saying goodbye to 10 players shortly BFS is considering another year for taylor and macartney Please not let's move on we are now seriously considering letting Reid go although there is no interest at present above 6m Diame Diarra are nailed on to leave expect Morrison and sam to be holding hands soon as he will be a starter next season two portugese clubs talking to vaz te no one is talking to maiga! including sam at present we are looking for 1-2 fullbacks and a CH a playmaker and of course a forward as ever. Couple of youngsters on their way probably spence potts and lee add Joe cole and collision looks like massive clearout with loanees returning could be huge turnaround saving abomb on wages expect 6-7 in to make a smaller but more effective squad should be interesting. as a footnote we are amongst 8 clubs chasing marshall and amongst 4 clubs looking at Snodgrass and Redmond as we are looking to make a loss on Jarvis although wba only club sniffing around him at present IRONMIKE
