GK: Boruc

Paul Konchesky, who can play every defensive position

LB: Luke Young

CB: Silvan Distan

RW: Ricardo Quaresma

CM Joey Barton

Striker: Darren Bent.

I say hold on to Tommy and Gavin and let them fight for their spots, this is the depth and competition fro places that the top clubs all have.

Young plays right back but it's still a good list, IMO Quaresma is out of our reach

I'd like to see

Boruc

Young/Seitariedis/Heitinga

Distin/Ben-Haim

Sneijder (un-realistic?)

Barton/Appiah/Muntari/Makoun ETC

Huntelaar(Un-realistic?)/Bent/some other top striker

Those coupled with some good youngsters, mabye Antunes (that left-back we're linked with)

Sorry if this was posted earlier but i found this in The Times Online

Aston Villa want to sign Sheffield United's Nick Montgomery in a £1.4m deal.

Umm....Who?

I heard that Alves was off to Barca for £25million, Chelsea sent scouts out to watch him but they said he'd only scored that many due to awful defending.

Some more crap from tribal football.

Aston Villa are eyeing West Ham fullback Paul Konchesky.

Hammers boss Alan Curbishley isn't expected to stand in Konchesky's way should he seek a move this summer.

Here

Thoughts? Good, bad or just a load of bolloc*s?

Somebody on the Ic Brum forum is claiming the Defoe deal is done, don't know if he's reliable in any way it it's probably BS. Just thought i'd post it here.

Goalkeeper Paddy Kenny is set to quit Sheffield United.

The Republic of Ireland keeper had been keen to sign a new improved deal but relegation has now forced a rethink.

Kenny, who is 29 tomorrow, is desperate to stay in the Premiership to help his chances of succeeding Shay Given at international level and will listen to offers from other clubs.

Wigan, Aston Villa and Everton are all interested in signing Kenny, who is valued at £2million.

Here

Would only take him as back-up.

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill is weighing up a move for Celtic defender Bobo Balde.

The Herald says O'Neill is reported to be considering a move for a third Celtic player, having already signed Shaun Maloney and Stilian Petrov.

Here

Thank **** that tribal football is usually BS.

Just seen that Vitorio Atunes(Portugese left-back) score a decent free-kick on Eurogoals.

I think the clause was that he could leave for something like £9million if Newcastle got into Europe.

Why would he want that clause in there though?

Surely he'd only need a clause to protect his interests, and his interests would be playing in Europe.

Ment to say if they didn't get in. Sorry.

Well, never really thought we would get him, but still. It would be nice. And now I'm talking about Owen.

As I understand it, Owen has a clause that means he can leave Newcastle to go to a club playing in europe for £9.5m (provided newcastle are not in europe). Last time I checked we weren't in europe.

I think the clause was that he could leave for something like £9million if Newcastle got into Europe.

Portugal Under-21 left-back Vitorino Antunes is in the sights of Aston Villa.

The Sunday Mercury says Antunes is on Martin O'Neill's summer shopping list as the Villa boss to keen to recruit competition for Wilfred Bouma next season.

Antunes, rated at £750,000, has been in fine form for Pacos De Ferreira in the top flight in his native Portugal.

A host of Premiership clubs are chasing Sheffield United defensive utility Phil Jagielka.

The Times says Jagielka will alert a host of Premiership clubs by activating a get-out clause in his contract following the Blades' relegation from the top flight.

Jagielka is valued at £6 million and is wanted by Liverpool, Everton, Aston Villa and Wigan Athletic.

Here

Malouda has said he wants out of Lyon, highly unlikely but if you don't ask, you don't get!

Like your thinking Rocafella

heres my list

Boruc

Distan

Heitinga

Barton

Defoe

Sniejder

Muntari

If we were to sign them i'd be chuffed :!:

Get pederson

First of all it's Pedersen, actually Gamst Pedersen. Show some respect for people's names now should we? Also, our keeper is named Sørensen... Sorensen in English, not Sorenson!

I think he is much like Barry. They both have equal amounts of strengths and weaknesses. MGP has a great foot we all know that, but he is terrible in defense. Barry is more complete, without any real strengths. Solid players, but very much alike. None of them could skin a player, both could score 5 open play goals a season, so why invest in something we already got. Sure he would give us some great goals from set-pieces but it would not do any good with Gareth.

Even though Barry is playing center mid, and has been since McCann was dropped?

Exactly..Pederson would be competing for Bouma's place not Barry's, who has now cemented himself firmly as captain and in CM!!

Um...what? MGP is a left midfielder not a left back.

That Under 21 portugal left back we were linked with a few weeks back is closer to joining.

Sunday Mercury reported on it, theyre normally a bit more filled in being local.

Not a clue if hes any good, but seems an ideal player (providing he is good ) in that hes the sort who could just fill in for bouma in cup games and stuff, established players arnt going to be interested in coming to be on bench.

I'm happy with this, i was hoping we'd look to bring in some good youth players.

is there anyone decent in the Sheff Utd team?

Not really, I'd probably only take Paddy Kenny as a back-up & that's about it.

On talksport the reporter at Ewood park has said Bennie Mccarthy haas put in a transfer request, would Mon be interested?.

He's off to Chelsea IMO.

Don't know if anyone suggested him yet, but that boy Allesandro in Wolfsburg is a tasty midfielder, either left or right.

Just about kept them in the Bundesliga single handed. Don't know how he'd handle the premiership though.

Should be a bargain, as his contract expires next year.

He was at Portsmouth last year, don't remember how well he did though.

Alfonso Alves has a great scoring record.

Joining Barca for £25 million i heard.

Sorry, but that is terrible. I'd surely be asking questions if that was the squad.

Why? Personally i feel that team is very good apart from possibly Luke Young but i'm not sure who else we could get.

If we do sign a defender in the summer how about Ezeiquiel Garay? From Sky sports stat centre (plays for Santander) He looks quite good IMO. Has anyone seen much of him?

Nasri? destroyed Bolton was it? in the uefa cup? well some game against english opp i watched anyway

Weren´t we linked with Nasri sometime in January? Awesome little player!

That's what i thought, he'd certainly be an exciting signing.

I 've just noticed that St Etienne beat Lille 2-1 earlier (5pm ko) So apologies for stating that Monaco v Marseille was the only French top division game today. Does that throw up any more targets?

Bodmer, Makoun & possibly Kader Keïta (who i believe we were linked to in Jan if i'm not mistaken)

So can anyone confirm which game MON was at?

If he was at the Monaco game does anyone think there is the possiblity of Toure as our midfield "destroyer"?

Anyone else watching Madrid v Sevilla?

Yep, lets break the bank for Guti We can dream though can't we

Who could we be scouting @ Madrid - Seville? Surely most of the good players there tonight are a bit out of our reach. I'll have a look during the game on SS later @ see if i see them.
