E I E I E I O 0 Posted January 28, 2006 what would your ideal line up be come the end of the transfer window? Mine would be as follows: Green(would sell if possible)Hughes (Capt) Davenport Shacks/Doc DruryHalford Safri Hucks Koumas Earnshaw Campbell/TrundleSubs: Mcveigh, Mckenzie, Jarvis(both) Robinson.Feel this team could beat most in the league and would''nt costa all that much Davenport (1-1.5Mil) Koumas (1.5 Mil) Earnshaw (2.5 Mil) Campbell (500,000ish) Total 6 Million. I feel we could then generate a fair bit from the sale of a few players such as Etuhu £5, Charlton £5, Colin £10 and Louis Jean £5. This would mean a total outlay of £5,999,975 so not that bad. Considering we would get 25Million on promotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZLF 271 Posted January 29, 2006 I did think about doing the same Fernano but then thought Worthy would even mess that little lot up!Yup - that would be Cameron Jerome on the bench - he has potential just not at £3.5m right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I even read a conspiracy theory todaythat half of Ashton''s fee was loaned by a mysterious benefactor on thepreviso that half future profit from sale be given to said benifactor.After the cut to Crewe and Ashton, paying Crewe what we owed fromoriginal purchase, the likelihood the board will invest all but proffitfrom sale into other areas etc. I wouldn''t be surprised if the reasonWorthy said we couldn''t afford £3m for Earnshaw is that he hasn''t beengiven £3m to spend.

The idea of the thread though is to name what would be your realistically ideal! transfer scenario. Something that would get you excited come the derby game. I fear that you may be right about the money though. Did''nt Neil Adams say that we would be able to bring in 3 or 4 proven names if Ashton went? Not seen one yet! My team includes 4 signings so according to him is realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Therefore:Ideal and borderline plausible would be:-------------Green------------Hughes---Doc---Shacks---DruryHalford---Etuhu---Safri---Hucks------Jerome---McVeigh------Yes I am still giving Etuhu a chance, although my patience is wearingthin, if he can be made to work as hard as Hughes he could beuber-dangerous. He offers something different in the middle with hissize. Plus Robinson is still crocked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
