Yeh, I cant wiat for a few big names to move.

McLeish will walk too.

And knowing what we know now, I'd probably say Giggs.

But back in the day yeh I think Scholes.

thats a fantastic picture tbf.

Problem is MJ, half the midfield didnt even wanna play for the club. Also they dont factor that other than that 11 they have nothing. So when the obvious injuries/suspensions came they had zero back up.

They go on like they had terrible injuries, when in reality it was only a few first teamers. we had the back ups out too!!

Theres a thread on SHA about away games and people listing where they can get "pwopa Nawty" and go on a rampage.

They really are a bunch of inbreds.

How...

Foster

Carr - Johnson - Dann - Ridgewell

Bentley - Hleb - Gardner/Baz - Beausejour

Martins - Zigic

...did a team with this potential line-up go down?

Madness. Looks like a top 5 challenging team on paper.

Top 5!??

No.

They will have a back 5 of Doyle Carr Davies Ridgewell Murphy, lets be honest that is more than decent for Championship, and Jerome does ok at that level too up front

I think Carr will leave.

I also reckon Davies will have some kind of get out written into his contract in the event of relegation. Given the sort of deal he had in his contract here.

£15m for Scott Dann!!!!! hahahahahahahahahaha

Brilliant!!!

how can any of us expect dann, foster and johnson to stay....if they are sold people will say we are skint...fact they will leave because they are top quality players and should be playing for top prem teams. with the money that we should get for those 3 alone (35-40 mill) we can build a better team around gardner with just half that money

£40m???

More like 20.

I cant wait till we b uy Foster off them and hear what excuses they come up with..

He's shit anyway...

Doyle is better.....

You paid well over the odds for him....

Hi General, theres been lots of rumours going around on twitter mainly that on sunday before the Liverpool game you confirmed that Houllier will 100% not be manager next season. Is this true?

I agree Richard, Foster Dann and Johnson will all be out 100%. If Gardner gets the right offer he will too.

Add to all the players out of contract and on loan they're left with a few kids a few oaps and couple of agents.

I'd say Foster is morre important to them. And as TT says, they cant afford to turn down a sensible offer.

I think he might if someone like Fulham came in for him...

Stoke?

A side of

Foster

Carr Murphy

Davies Ridgewell

Redmond Gardner Mutch/Fahey Beasejour

Jerome McFadden

Will be good enough to see us up.

Apart from losing Foster and perhaps Gardner If that team is good enough to come back up why did they go down with a much better team??

They're so thick.

I just pray that theyt dont draw Rapid Vienna and beat them. It would just about be our luck.

They think Foster will stay cause he enjoys being out of the spotlight....

They're gonna be gutted when we buy him!

Spurs land former Barca starlet

Harry Redknapp has already pulled off the transfer coup of the summer, sources have told ESPNsoccernet, by snatching Barcelona youngster Cristian Ceballos from under the noses of Chelsea.

Ceballos, 16, was hailed as Barcelona's new superstar four years ago when he became an internet sensation, featuring in a video juggling a ball with Ronaldinho.

However, after a falling out, Barca agreed to release Ceballos, an attacking midfielder, on a free transfer and he was taken to Chelsea for a two week trial.

Ceballos trained at Cobham predominately with Chelsea's youth side, but also trained with Carlo Ancelotti's first-team. In a shock move, he has now reportedly signed a three-year contract at White Hart Lane.

Sources close to the player said: "The boy captained Barca's Under-17's and here we have a proper player, potentially one of the greats if he develops as people think he might.

"He went to Chelsea for two weeks and trained for three days with the first-team before a Champions League game such was the impression he made, but for some strange reason no one seemed to make a decision about him.

"Now, he has signed a three-year contract with Spurs and Harry Redknapp has a player who will be in his first-team within a year."

Spurs claim to have poached him from Chelsea......

What they dont realise is Chelsea are signing Ethan Moore.

SHA have a tiny squad, which is about to get even smaller.

Bently, Derbyshire, Martins and Helb are all to return from their loan spells ~(their most attacking players)

Bowyers contract is expired (will they renew now they getting relegated?)

Maik Taylor (38) Wan-Carr (33yrs) Ferguson (32) Phillips (73) all aging players.

Seb Larsson on his way out too.

Scott Dann highley likely to be snapped up.

Leaving them with a squad of about 24 players including about 5 players i've never heard of.

They will have to heavily rely on loan players next season.

So take away Bentley, Derbyshire, Hleb, Martins, Bowyer, Taylor, Carr, Ferguson, Phillips, Larsson and Dann and they still have 24 players? :shock:

I think its more than that out of contract, Im sure SSN said 9 players earlier?!

Add Johnson Dann and Foster who WILL all leave they really are in trouble. They could start the season with a whole new first 11, maybe only Zigic will stay but thats doubtfull as Im sure some Euro team will come in for him.

They'll probably end up with about £25m in fees from Johnson Dann Foster and Zigic. Hardly going to build them a new squad to come back up is it?

Blues confirm McLeish will stay on as manager.

Breaking news on sky now.

I had the radio and text updates so I knew fully what was going on and what could happen next.

It was great.

I think if GH was staying it would've been announced by now. Theres no reason to delay it, the medical side of things will have been proven one way or the other weeks ago, so for me it only leaves they are waiting for the season to finish and they will announce it.

Moyes please.

I love that even in our shittest league performace for a good few years they still failed to beat us and secure the points that wouldve kept them up.

Small Heath Small Time.

Makoun has the making of a very good player. The pre season will do him the world of good as it did with Downing...

I can't see that ^^^
