Posted October 9, 200717 yr lets say for whatever reason, be it players following JM, roman selling up and the top guys have to leave cus of wages, whatever.. if we should return to a "normal" squad - id say we dont fare too badly you know: GK: first team wise were not too bad here - we might be able to keep ahold of Cech, but if we dont then good old Carlo would surely grab his long awaited opportunity- Carlo / Hilario a little risky should carlo get injured, but some shrewd market business might sort us out there Defenders: now if we say that JT stays and takes a pay cut, wed be just fine in this department, worst case scenario looks quite good: Beletti / Ben Haim / Alex / JT / Mancienne / Bridgey fullbacks would be a priority buy for the manager but centrebacks, no problems really. even if we have to lose JT. Midfielders lets say lamps and ballack go off/cant afford them and lets also say SWP gets sold. wed hope to keep Mikel and Essien and if we can do that were looking good. Joey / Mikel / Sidwell / Essien / Maka / Malouda so we would have a left and right winger and also two good midfielders - not bad at all Forwards now heres where we would need to look at bringing some kind of support in.. assuming Drogba and Sheva go, we might keep Pizarro.. Kalou / Pizarro / Sinclair / Sahar were looking at youth to fill in the subs and we could even likely lose Kalou AND pizarro depending on how things go.. So JFH, get ready for your homecoming! lets see the Post Apolcalyptic CFC line-up: ------------Carlo------------- Beletti ---TBH---JT/Alex-----Bridgey Joey---mikel/Sidwell----Esssien---Malouda -----------Kalou--------------------- ------------------Pizarro-------------- well, id reckon thats a UEFA Cup side with some luck/graft?
October 9, 200717 yr hedman and pidgely left last season. whos smith? if you mean jimmy smith, then hes a midfielder, similar player to lampard.
October 9, 200717 yr Author i knew we sold makalamby, but didnt pidgely just go on loan? also i didnt hear anything about hedman - if he left fair enough :) also, the point is not why players would leave, thats for another thread, but what we could expect to have after big players get sold/let go/leave for arguments sake, we cant afford the wages of the top earners if we dont have Abramovich.. yeah jimmy has to go in the midfielder section too thanks as for the point, its to show how we have a good squad even without the big guns!
