The Wish List

He knows how to cross a ball though.

 

[Lord Dula]

Avram grant should look at those players city are releasing

He knows how to cross a ball though.

What use is that to a team who never has anyone in the box?

Toni Kroos

Chamakh and Bendtner will provide quite an aerial threat next year, which likely means more of Sagna's awful crossing. I can hardly wait.

In addition to Chamakh, I'd take:

Joe Cole
Michael Ballack
Martin Petrov

They're all on a bosman, so money can't be an excuse.

Oh and I'd keep Cesc unless we get £70M (which we won't).

 

[qs]

Martin Petrov wasn't getting his game for City and for good reason, he's crap. If you think our wide players are bad at tracking back now you should see that lazy ****.

Joe Cole - wage demands too high, and is a current crock

Michael Ballack - are you kidding? he was past it when coming to Chelsea, even worse now (wage demands would be high too)

Martin Petrov - another crock, and one who is 31.. never in a million years

 

[GoonerGurjit]

It will be interesting to see where Ballack ends up. I read somewhere that Mourinho could be interested in taking him to Madrid.

 

[USArsenal]

i would doubt that GG.. he'll be 34 in September, and is very much less influential than he was 3 or 4 years ago.. i would be shocked in Real signed him..

maybe Milan will sign him.. they like adding over the hill midfielders (and players in general)..

 

[GoonerGurjit]

A move back to Germany would probably be the best option.

 

[USArsenal]

but to where?

 

[GoonerGurjit]

Someone like Schalke, Leverkusen or HSV would love to sign him. Maybe McClaren will want him as a Marquee signing for Wolfsburg. Ballack's still a huge name.

Petrov at his best is far from crap- blinding pace, excellent delivery, cracking shot... all things you like from your wingers. His consistency and his injuries are what holds him back in my opinion. He's not for us, but I think he could be useful for many Europa league or even lower CL sides if he ever was able to put together a whole season.

Subotic
Olic
Sumbich
Yaya (for Fabregas)
Frey

Intriguing...

 

[Klaus Daimler]

I'd be happier with Cesc in there.

 

[Zico]

Replace Walcott with Bendtner and you're fine. You can put Walcott where Wilshere is and send the young schemer back to Bolton to be toughened up by the Trotters.

If we ever returned to a 4-4-2, which will rightfully never happen, Walcott should definitely play up top. He's been educated long enough.

Back to that hugely successful 4-2-3-1? :bounce
