the mini cleanout

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

clear out? don't think we see anything of the sort

riise - at risk
Kewell - at risk

can't really see anyone else going, the above two names are not even certainties to go.

We will sign a defender and a winger (hopfully!) but that is it.

Don't expect any major dealings, at least, I'm not anyway.

Think Crouch has more chance of going than Riise.

Think we'll bring in a winger though. Using the simple logic that we are crying out for one. So another central midfielder it is then.

If we were going to have a mini clear out

Out
Crouch 9-10mil
Sissoko 8 mil
Riise 6mil

In
A Center Back
A Left Back

If we had the dough, I'd like a left winger as well

Maxi would be a good option.

No he wouldn't. Nor would it be realistic. Firstly he's in shocking form. Secondly he's the captain of Atletico Madrid and they rejected big bids from Fiorentina for him. Thirdly, he's not a great wideman. He's pretty much a knack for goals and not much else. I swear if he came to a club like Liverpool he'd get found out horribly.

He isn't in any good form because he has been out injured and then been benched. He scored two goals this weekend.

I wonder if you really have seen him play the way you talk about him.

Who knows if it's a realistic signing or not.

So has anyone got a link to Rafa saying he had £20m to spend?

Last season Masher was brought in in Jan, the previous one ,Agger.
If Rafa finds one more player of their calibre this Jan I will be happy.

I think it unlikely that we will buy several players, clubs are generally unwilling to sell, players are CL cup-tied etc.

So we might get one of the following

Possible strikers, Anelka/ Owen/ Drogba

Wide players ,Mancini??

CB , I would love Richards if we could persuade him to leave City

Players out

Riise, Crouch, can't see anyone else leaving till the summer

Wasnt Arbeloa brought in in Jan as well??

Would love us to get Richards, not much chance in Jan imo, could see him being our main summer signing though, finances permitting.
