i'm not getting onto names but we need
1 x left back 1 x right back 1 x centre forward 1 x left winger 1 x hard tackling midfielder and no £#%&!ing 'squad' players. i want players that will fight for their place, competition for each position, proven quality or genuine young prospects taht can develop |

I think Hargreaves will come and an agreement will be reached for Bale (which if you consider Heinze's form may not be a minute too soon).
I'd like another striker. Ideally Torres or Huntelaar, but realistically someone like Darren Bent or Jermaine Defoe. I think Nani would develop well here, but I haven't seen much of him. Always up for buying raw talent though. Out? I think Richardson will go and Heinze and Silvestre should go (if we get the cover) but it wouldn't suprise me if both stayed. I can't see Ole featuring very much at all next year. The kids? Wouldn't surprise me if not of them came back. Evans aside. |

I don't think Pique will come back. I think Rossi is better equipped for Italy and will stay there. Jury is out on the rest and we shouldn't sell established first team squad players in case these kids can't cut it. Selling Brown or Heinze because Evans has been playing well in The Championship would be reckless IMO. |

Youngsters returning (I hope):
Evans Pique Simpson Rossi Incomings: Hargreaves (not happy about the supposed fee but...) Bale (only because I've been told it's nailed on, I hope the fee is something sensible) Berbatov (only forward I'd like to see us buy and the only Summer signing I think I'd be happy with) Wouldn't mind a young, up and coming, winger to arrive. I haven't seen much of Nani tbh. Mind you I fully expect Bale to be that winger. A Fergie conversion if you will. I'd like to think we'll have another look at Luka Modric too but now I'm being greedy. |

I don't think Berbatov would fit in at all. I'm not that convinced by him TBH. Blown very hot and cold this year despite his obvious class. |

For me Pique has done it a higher level. Could Evans hold down a place in a top 6 side in the premiership at the moment. Keep them both, tremendous potential. But they will only progress if we give them a chance. Win the title this year and we will have some breathing space to do that. Rossi again has performed welll in Italy on loan and should be given a chance. |

It's so difficult to blood youngsters these days. They need time, faith and games. Look at Arsenal. Those kids will come good, but they've paid a big price for it over the last two years. It's almost like they're prepared to sacrifice 2 or 3 years to ensure the backbone of the next 10-15 is in place. The demands of each competition is so high and the standard needed to win the Premiership has been raised so much that it's hard to find time to blood these kids without jeopardising points. If we stick Evans/Pique/ Rossi in the side there will be a lot of people on here failing to acknowledge the need for them to learn their trade and it will cost us points. Jesus, if they bitch and moan about a semi CL exit imagine how they'll react to a transitional season.... |

Indeed the info I had re Bale seemed correct at the time, some news the other day suggested otherwise and that it's still a goer. Don't know what to believe but he seemed certain of it. I'm worried though that if it does happen we're signing him as a left sided midfielder.
He hasn't looked very good in any of the games I've seen. Far from it. But at least we'd have someone who can take a decent free kick. Saints were rumoured to be chasing a fee in excess of £12million. |
