You're the manager

To be honest, man city spent around £14mill on him and he is on ridiculous wages, prob similar to keane. If they sell him I cant see him going for less than 9mill. Sadly, we have no chance.

To be honest I have changed my mind a few times about mcGeady. I honestly feel that if we get a good man manager that brings some quality to the team he will flourish. I would like him for one more season. At the end of the day, he is currently our most creative player. If we got another similar player, perhaps MG Perdersen, teams would be stretched to deal with both threats giving them both more space.

<o> </o>
We may have got it wrong against Ross Co. with subbing N Guemo for Crosas and expecting Brown to do the digging in midfield. I think we have learned from it and you just need to see the faces of the players when Rasmussen scored the winner to see they have found a bit of spring in their step.
<o> </o>
Apart from the growing concern of our defence, I think the team is doing just fine just now and if one or 2 of them don’t want to stay by their lone spell then we can look at replacements for them. The only one of the loan players that I think we will miss is Keane and if he goes back then we will need to spend a bit of money replacing him I think.
<o> </o>
We have to have a good look at our back up players and ask ourselves what they can bring to the team and if they are surplus to requirement then get shot of them. This may not bring in much money to the budget but it will reduce the wage bill by a surprising amount of money. Let face it, do we really need 39 players in our first team squad; we could bring that down to 30 at least which would save at least 50k a week. That is at least 2 good Bosman’s we could bring in without increasing the wage bill.
<o> </o>
We still need a left back and I think it would be good if we could get an experience Centre back or ball winner to take leadership of the team to fill in the above roles.
<o> </o>
Getting the right manager is more important and I think if lenny got it I think the players would be happy to play for him, Anyone new would cause more unsettlement and could lead to a bad start next term as well.

 

theres your problem, why we dont have any sort of build up...

 

Do you play FM by any chance?

 

I think a lot of people on here do :icon_mrgreen:

 

Aye but me thinks this guy does a lot with those players and prices. Looks like a team that been made on FM.

 

nope lol :icon_mrgreen: but a heard elia more than £10m? * there go's my plans lol :icon_mrgreen:

 

And Tonge, Bradley, McCormack etc......

 

your a bad person you do know that?

 

although i reckon mccormack £2m isn't impossible they're * for cash if they don't go up and stoke pulis wants to punt tonge

 

Just a ickle bit, hahahahahah

too much clal of duty mw2 makes you like this. Too much violence in my diet me thinks.

 

i only get violent from mw2 cos i'm * gash at the game

 

Yeah thats exactly what i do..... Lucily the guys i play are good som for tdm games makes me feel that much better.

 

haha, good idea, i need talented friends :bbpd:

 

Keep the thread on topic lads. Use VM's or PM's for conversations.

 

oh aye, IF mark hughes is manager i'd hope we get pedersen instead of the "impossible" elia

 

Aye I like Morten Gamst Pedersen as well. I'd be delighted to see him in a Celtic shirt.

 

If I was made the manager today my team line up for next season would be -

Boruc

Hinkel St Ledger McManus Wallace

Crosas

McGeady Kamara

Lambert

Keane Rassmussen


​

The new players in that starting 11 obviously being Lee Wallace, Sean St Ledger, Dio Kamara, Ricki Lambert & Keane. I would also add a few other signings into the team aswell for bench etc and sign another centre half, midfielder and another striker.



I would sell :

Mizuno £500,000
Brown £5-7m
Loovens £2m
Samaras £2m
Fortune £4m
Naylor £1m
O'Dea £1m
Wilson £1.5m
Maloney £2-3m
Zheng £0

Loan out :

Cervi
Misun
Caddis
Thomson
Rogne
Conroy
Ferry
Ki
Hutchinson
Sheridan
McGowan

​

 

Just reading through alot of people would sign N'guemo, why? He has been really poor for a while now and we could do alot better than him, even if his price is only 2m I honestly think we could sign much better players. Been * in all old firms and was terrible against Ross County, (yes wasn't only one)
Offers us nothing going forward and isnt even very tidy on the ball, gives possesion away far much for me.

 

also the £5m saved from not getting elia would go to the january "we need 1 more huge signing to make the quarter finals of the cl" :icon_mrgreen:
