If there are people out there that are 100% believers in the press, and I surely hope there are none, I hope they are locked up!!

Crouch + Riise + Sissoko out, John Cofier in, can't wait.

[einar]

25m + Crouch, Riise and Momo.

25 + 10 + 4 + 10 = 49m?

Menez 10m
SWP 15m
Taylor 8m
Huntelaar 12

could be a fun window.

If there is any truth to the matter of Mourinho taking over from Rafa then would the Americans (as Rafa calls them) give him £25 million to spend in January?

[red g]

25m + Crouch, Riise and Momo.

25 + 10 + 4 + 10 = 49m?

Menez 10m
SWP 15m
Taylor 8m
Huntelaar 12

did you put a load of names and numbers in a hat and pull them out?

[einar]

did you put a load of names and numbers in a hat and pull them out?

Just having fun.

But still, if true. 25m plus players means a good sum of money.

[Sion]

25m + Crouch, Riise and Momo.

25 + 10 + 4 + 10 = 49m?

Menez 10m
SWP 15m
Taylor 8m
Huntelaar 12

If by 31st Jan we have spent £45m on them 4 players, I will have lost all faith I currently have in the manager.

We need 2 new full backs, a top class CB, a bally carrying winger/attacking mid who is a goal threat and a striker. I would suggest

Fullback 1: Cheillini
Fullback 2: Alves/more realistic choices Diogo (who is a bit of a nutter) or Adriano
Centre back: Luisao
Winger/attacking mid: Aguero/more realistic choice Quaresma
Forward: Benzema

Combined cost at a guess: £60m

Just to be clear, I was just throwing names in there in a hurry.

But I would take SWP over almost any other winger in the game today.
And Menez, well he is only 20 but I really like him on youtube

And no, IMO we dont need two fullbacks. That is at least not a first priority.
