Reina ("Taylor")

 

RB (Arbeloa) -- Carra Skrtel Agger Sami -- Aureilio (Insua)

 

RW (Kuyt) -- Gerrard Masha "Barry" Lucas -- Babel (Yossi)

 

Torres ( ST )

 

 

 

 

INS : Barry, Taylor, RB, RW, ST

 

OUTS : Finnan, Itandje, Xabi, Riise, Pennant, Voronin, Crouch.

 

 

" " = Possible signing

( ) = Back up

 

 

 

This is roughly what I think will happen.

Buy a new Right back (rumoured we've signed Degen, dono how good he is)

New right winger to provide a potent threat from that side (dirks proved he should stay but isnt the complete package)

New striker who will play 2nd fiddle to Torres but pitch in with his fair share of goals.

 

Do all that and we should challenge on all fronts.

I think the team for next year will be......

 

Reina

 

Carra Agger Skertle Aurelio

 

Masch Barry

 

Kuyt Gerrard Babel

 

Torres

 

 

Subs,

Taylor, Pennant, Lucas, Arbeloa, Zurate.

 

The key for me is getting, and keeping, Agger fit.

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

 

Carragher - Agger - Skrtel - Aurelio

 

--------------Masch----------------

 

Bentley - Barry - Gerrard - Silva

 

---------------Torres----------------

 

I think that is likely and quite possible depending on the fee's for the players we're selling (Alonso/Crouch/Pennant/Riise/Carson/Guthrie) this can potentially be done for a net spend of 0, those players can play 90 minutes and play most of the season so it makes sense to me, Babel, Yossi and Kuyt to be rotated in and used as subs, though i'd sell Kuyt personally..

 

i'd like to think it will be close to that

You would genuinely play Silva and Bentley ahead of Babel?

he isnt good enough on the left over the course of a season so I think we need a new player there, maybe i'd be inclined to play him on the right and rotate with Bentley, they can fight it out i guess but Bentley can cross so i reckon he'd get in ahead of him. Babel would be an impact sub, rotated and a deputy for Torres.

Bentley & Silva wouldn't get forward as nuch as Kuyt & Babel do right now!

Torres would be isolated with your 451. You seriously underrate Babel.

Could be player of the season next year if played in the proper position and given a good run in the team. By proper i mean not stuck out on the wing and not a replacement sole front man for Torres.

 

Would have him right of a front 3 in a 433, or as 2nd striker to Torres in a 442.

it's not that i dont rate Babel i'm happy to use him i think we need more options and i dont really see many players we can sign so im thinking logically

 

if he becomes a monster he can have a starting place that's how it should be and someone else will have to sit it out but we're trying to win a league and can't be that patient and tolerant of 60 minutes of doing not much from a starting player, we need more impact and bite. of course, Bentley isnt that great imo but they can share the role and if they're not making an impact be subbed after 60 minutes

Agreed but Bentley would be the back up, not the starter in a 433.

In a 442 both could play - Bentley would be right wing with Babel supporting Torres, which is what i'd like to see next year (sans Bentley as a first choice player of course - we can be realistic, but we needn't be nihilistic!).

I think we'd all love Lahm Rash but I dont think its going to happen.

 

We'll end up with

 

Reina

Degen

JC

Agger/Skrtel

New LB

Mascherano

Barry

Maxi

Stevie

Babel

The Kid

 

That would create a lot of unrest on these forums! Well unless the LB cost £30m!

I can live with Degen, I would love Maxi Rodriguez, I can see the sense in Barry if Alonso if off and the left back will end up as I dont know who.

 

They'll be unrest anyways Liam! always is once silly season arrives which seems to be earlier and earlier every year.
