JoeTerp wrote:why do you want to sell the Doss? doesn't seem like we can get a good price. He is our current backup LB, because Aurelio is out and is usually out, and he is our backup left-footed left midfielder, which could come in handy if we need to start playing Yossi behind Torres.
People that we need to sell are Degen and Itandje, even though I think we would be lucky to get anything over 1.5 for the pair. They bring nothing to the table.
And then I wouldn't want to sell Voronin, unless we have some extra cash to go with what we sell him for to buy an upgrade with. Tuncay would seem like the most natural upgrade on Voronin, but I think I would prefer someone who is more of an out-and-out striker.
In the absence of Torres, whoever we bring in is not going to be talented enough to play up front on their own, and they certainly aren't going to have a magical partnership with Gerrard, so I think we should be thinking of "who would be the ideal partner for Kuyt in a 4-4-2?" Then I think we move Gerrard back into CM and play Yossi wide right.
I would think about selling Babel if we could get 8-9 million for him because sadly, I think his price is only going to go down.
I guess if we sell Degen, Itandje, Babel, and Voronin, and any kind of cash we can scrape from the barrel, and all of a sudden we are in the 14-18 million pound range which should be able to get us some decent quality. Seems too much like fantasy football to work though.
Yea well you know what.. we'll never win the league with players like Voronin, Lucas, and Dossena in the side... Theyre not good enough to be playing at this level... not in a million years !
Id sell Dossena for whatever we get... Insua, Aurelio, Degen, Johnson are enough fullbacks to have... add Kelly, Darby, and Carra, Agger if we're really desperate and Dossena is no longer needed.. For our winger spots we have Riera, Babel, Bennayoun, Kuyt and Elzhar... Dossena to me will only play there if Riera, Benny and Babel are unavailable.. ahrdly enough reason to keep him... Absolutely pathetic footballer with no skills, waste of money!
Look at the other squads around ffs... its absolutely fascinating the amount of crrap we have in our squad as backup nowadays.. whats even worse is some people sticking up to them and coming up with excuses as to why we're keeping them...
