What would you want if we got big investment before the transfer window was shut?

    The unfortunate truth is we won't get the investment in time so it really is a little pointless compiling wish lists spending 65-70m when we'll be lucky to spend 6.5-7m nett.
    Jeez no **** sherlock. I doubt anyone here really believes or thinks this is going to happen.

    Were just having a bit of fun, dreaming a little, and trying to forget about the ****ty reality. I think it's a bit more pointless coming into a thread that is blatantly for people trying to have a bit of a fun and a dream, and acting a miserable *******.

    i own everton fans on the internet....that's what i do

      ............. But this man is bang on.

      And anything is possible, it jsut so happens that this scenario and thread is highly unlikely. I think even if a dream take over did happen, January would be a more realistic window to look at, with the main work being done next summer.
      Forwards.......

        I would certainly retain Rafa.

        A lot would depend when the takeover happened. I think we need a squad that has at least two more players in it than this season and a replacement for Aurelio. If we are hanging on all summer I would assume we would have taken care of the left back problem and would simply try and get the best two players I could - ideally a CM and an attacking player.

        If it came earlier I would want us to make serious changes in the squad which were designed to get the best out of the spine we have. We need to have options of genuine width on both flanks, alternatives of attacking and defensive fullbacks on both sides, a passing CB for when Agger is broken, an additional CM and more goal threat in attack. Some of those areas are overlapping fairly obviously.

          OK, you do the same lists but with only 6.5-7m nett to spend. We can compare lists

              I'd keep Rafa and give him the chance to spend the money and get the players he really wants and see how he goes. In fairness, the one Summer where he went and spent big we did really well the following season.

              As for players, a first choice left back is a must (Taiwo/Lahm good shouts). We need an attacking player with lots of pace who ideally can play on both wings and in behind the striker (would Turan, Mata or Milner fit the bill?). And FFS, lets get another striker in. I think someone like Henry would be ideal and probably wouldn't cost the earth.

              Along with some youngsters to fill the squad I think we'd probably be there abouts. We can afford to lose Degen, Aurelio, Riera and Babel then.

                My choice also. I obviously accept the opinions of others but dont personally understand why people would be so keen to get rid of him so quickly- I think we take Rafa for granted too much sometimes- hes raised the bar at the club which is why we are all so gutted about this season.

                Hes a top manager who deserves financial backing at the top end of the market IMO.

                    I'd keep Rafa.

                    Lahm has played right back for Bayern all this season, but could play left back. Personally with Bayern winning the league and being in the CL final I can't see any of their big names going apart from maybe Ribery - I'd sign Lahm and Robben if we could but I don't think it will happen.

                    so, I would sign Taiwo for left back, if we couldn't sign him i'd take a look at Roberto Canella.

                    Kjaer for centre back

                    Arda or Pablo Hernandez (from Valencia) for the right hand side - I'd have him and Maxi fighting it out for first choice.

                    I'd go all out for Mezmut Ozil or Ashley Young for the left hand side, with someone promoted from the reserves or a young english player signed as back up.

                    I'd sign Yoann Gourcuff from Bordeaux as a new central attacking midfielder as Gerrards long term replacement

                    I'd go for for Villa or Dzeko to play alongside Torres, with Jovanovic as back up alongside Ngog - or replace him with a homegrown player.

                    I would sell:-

                    Kuyt
                    Benni (we'd get a good price)
                    Babel
                    Reira
                    Aureilo
                    The Greek
                    Degen
                    Spearing
                    Plessis
                    and a few others.

                    I estimate those players would cost £90m - £100m minus what we would get for sales...£35m - £40m??

                    So we only need £55m - £60m and we'll win the league!

                      After 6 years we are no closer and the football is worse than ever. This is one of the reasons many want him to go.

                        No, after this season we are no closer, clearly we have been a lot closer in previous years.

                        This season is an example of what happens when our rivals spend big and we spend nothing.

                          Keep Rafa. I think.

                          With investment, champ manager style:

                          David James £3m
                          Lahm £18m
                          Kjaer £12m
                          Turan £13m
                          Juan Mata £18m
                          Silva £20m

                          Total £81m

                          Adding those that we've supposedly already signed/agreed to sign for what, £7m, then we're talking £80m and that's without the sales of, and this is MY fantasy so **** off:

                          Skrtel - £6m
                          Degen - pack of pork scratching
                          Benny - but £10m
                          Babel - £10m
                          Aurelio - 4 rolls of Elastoplast and an ankle grip
                          Spearing - £2m
                          Plessis - £2m
                          Riera - £7m
                          El Zhar - £5m

                          Total £42m. FORTY TWO MILLION!!

                          An outlay of approx £40m, and our squad , 1st XI & backup would look like:

                          ---------------------- Reina / James


                          Johnson / Kelly --- Carra / Kjaer --- Agger / Wilson- -- Lahm / Insua

                          ---------------------- Masher / Lucas --------------------------

                          ------- Gerrard / Shelvey ----------- Aquilani / Other --------


                          ----- Turan / Kuyt / Maxi ---------------- Mata / Jovanovic /

                          -----------------Jovanovic / Torres / N'Gog -----------------


                          Look at that formatting!! LOOK AT IT!!!!!!!

                                You might as well added a few zeros to that fantasy, no way will we get 42million if we sold that lot, reckon we would be lucky to hit 30m.
