I've seen a bit of Pique when he's played for Real Zaragoza which is the club he's on loan to right now, naturally a center back apparently but he's been playing the defensive midfield role and has done well, even scored against Barca the other day, he's a big fella like Huth too, i wouldn't bother with a loan though,

Also if we're in for Sneijder then imo Barry's position might be under serious threat, the kid can use either foot with quality and can create goals and score goals from distance, a real class act he is and he would really lift our midfield in terms of attacking ability, he's the sort of name we need to be bringing to villa park if we wanna move forward.

i think barrys future is left back, if we get to where we want to be

which if samuel doesn't get replaced in the summer will probably be the case.

i'd love us to sign sneijder, but its a tad unrealistic really isn't it?, he looked very impressive the other day where he scored a screamer against PSV

i really hope we can sign distin, that would save us having to buy a left and centre back (if barry isn't seen as the future left back)

maybe treble press conference on the first day of the transfer window? sidwell, saviola and distin combined price £0, we can dream.. :nod:

NOTW Links us wuth with Sneijder for £10mill..... Beautiful

and Sidwell for £4mill

The fact that they have Sidwell for 4 mill makes me wonder how reliable they are as a source.

Like i said just after that it was a big error in my part :oops:

Sneijder is brilliant.I watched him /Bulgaria - Holland 0:0/ and he was the best player on the pitch.He has incredible energy plays very well with both feet /essential for central midfielder/,good powerful shot and could link well with S.Petrov/they both read well the game/

Arsenal want Sidwell back and they are a bigger club than us.

He has done very well this year, playing box to box and scoring goals.

That is one thing we haven't done.

As for setting expectations higher, come on, who will we realistically get?

7 signings would propel us into european spots next season imo. These suggestions should be available and are in the order of which I would prefer them.

Goalkeeper - (Boruc 4m, Carson 4m, Gordon)

Right Back - (Young 4m, Neil 1.5m, Geremi 3m, G.Johnson 4m)

Left Back - (Bridge 5m, Baines 5m)

Centre Back - (Distin free, Ben Haim free, C.Davies 8m, Ferdinand 5m)

Centre Mid - (Barton 5.5m, Sidwell free, Reo Coker 4m)

Right Wing - (Milner 7.5m, SWP 9.5m)

Stiker - (Bent 15m, Ashton 10m, Defoe 12m, Bellamy 8m, Keane 8m, Smith 5m)

A realistic team for next year would be:

Goalkeepers - Boruc(4m), Sorenson, Olijnek

Right Backs - L.Young (4m), Bardsley (2m)

Left Backs - Bridge (5m), Bouma, O'Halloran

Centre Backs - Laursen, Mellberg, Distin (free), Cahill, Ridgewell

Right Wing - SWP (9.5m), Young

Left Wing - Barry, Maloney

Centre Mid - Sidwell (free), Petrov, McCann, Davis, Osbourrne, Davis

Striker - Bent (15m), Carew, Moore, Agbonlahor

some excellent suggestions there. None of them out of our league and all gettable .

However the one area we would need a different player would be central midfield. Sidwell is a box to box player . Very much a Petrov type of player. We still need a top, top class holding midfielder .

I think he is suggesting Joey Barton for that role, looking at the list (albeit not on the realistic team admittedly).

Superb suggestion last page

If we sign Nelson Piquet - he can drive the team bus far quicker, no need for hotels and with the money we save - we can get another player !!!! :lol:

Is he fit though?
