    rickie lambert a good shout , maybe should be looking also at likes of jozy altidore or scott arfield/fran sandaza for more relistic shouts , and if boruc is going i would not mind boaz myhill as his replacment.

    Here the whole time
    good shout on bullard would also try and poach hunt from them too.one plays with a smile on his face and clearly loves the game and would lift the dressing room the other has grit and determination on the pitch.two ingredients we have been sorely missing this season. st ledger or someone similar is a must,don't hold out much hope for hooiveld,could be our prodan.rogne to make a big impression next season imo but could be doing with an experienced partner, but i wouldn't make a signing just for the sake of it if the right man can't be obtained i would just bring mcmanus back.mcgeady should be sold,he can be good on his day but they are few and far between and could fetch 7-8m.as for a left back,i really can't see hearts entering into business for wallace without holding us to ransom so as an alternative i would suggest hammil,would be a good price especially if they are relegated.strikers?fortune and samaras should be chased and rassmussen partnered with a.n other,jermaine beckford(as mentioned in a previous post) would be nice but i believe he is destined for newcastle or someone similar so i would like to see ross mccormack and anthony stokes,and if kevin phillips has another season in him bring him in for the experience and the odd cameo in big games.

    Missed the boat on Bellamy

    To be honest I think we missed the boat on Bellamy at the start of the season. When Man City were spending crazy money on strikers (Adebayor £25m, Tevez £25m, Santa Cruz £18m) even Bellamy would have been thinking he would have been down the pecking order and we should have put in a cheeky bid (the price we paid for Fortune + a bit more).
    Would love to see MG Pedersen at Parkhead and think he would seriously consider a move to Paradise,would be an excellent signing.
    Birmingham seem desperate to sign McGeady so would try to do a deal involving McFadden, he's in his prime just now and would be dynamite.
    Would bring back Mcmanus and sign Sol Bamba/Garry Kenneth or both and bring in Ramis.
    Lee Wallace with Naylor to cover.
    Sign Stokes (no brainer), Steven Fletcher (if Burnley go down) and Kamara/McCormack.
    Danny Murphy is a great shout,experienced. Also agree to put in a bid for Bullard when Hull go down (wouldnt be short of admirers though) and Lallana/Clint Dempsey.

    So to round up imo we should
    Sell/Out:
    Wilson £500,00-£750,000
    Braafheid (loan exp.)
    Loovens £1-2m
    Thomson (loan out)
    Rogne (loan out)
    Brown £4m at v. most
    McGeady part exch. McFadden
    Keane (loan exp.)
    Samaras :38: Would prob have to pay someone to take him
    N'Guemo/Crosas ??? 1 of either
    Fortune ??? Maybe sell £2m+

    Sign:
    McManus (loan return)
    Bamba/Kenneth both 1m
    Ramis £1-2m
    Wallace £2m
    McFadden part exch. McGeady
    Pedersen Free
    Murphy £1-2m
    Bullard ??? £3-4m
    Lallana/Dempsey £1-2m
    Stokes £1-2m
    Fletcher £2-3m
    McCormack/Kamara £1-2m

    Total In : £9+ ??
    Total Out : £12-13m+ ??? More if we bid for Bullard



    ---------------Boruc/Zaluska------------------

    Hinkel/---McManus/Ramis/Hooiveld---Wallace/
    Caddis------Bamba/Kenneth/O'Dea--------Naylor

    ----------Murphy/N'Guemo??/Crosas??----------

    Pedersen/--------------------------McFadden/
    McGinn--------Bullard??/Lallana??-------Maloney
    ----------------Dempsey/Ki--------------------

    --------Stokes/------------- Rasmussen/------
    -------Fletcher----------Kamara/McCormack---

    With McCourt flitting in and out of the team

    BOLD = Would definitely sign

    A Team full of SPL experience and/or just experience in general which has been badly needed this season.
    I think we would have a realistic chance of landing all of these players if not most and we wouldn't burst the bank in the process.
    Also think this would be a good team in Europe.

    Let Go of - Zhi, Hutchenson, McGowan,

    End of Loan - NgUemo, Keane, Braafied

    Hopefully with that plus transfer Kitty 10m+

    Buy

    Concalves - Free
    Wallace - £1.5-2m
    Kamara - £3m
    Morten Gamst Pederson - Free
    Greening £1m
    I'd play a 3-4-1-2​

    1.Boruc (C)

    4. Concalves 16. Hoovield 3. Wallace

    7.McGeady 17.Crosas 8.Greening 12. Pederson

    20. McCourt

    15.Kamara 19. Rasmussen

    Which could turn into

    1.Boruc (C)

    17.Crosas

    7. McGeady 8. Greening 12. Pederson 20. McCourt

    parkhead has been half empty and a lot of people may not buy season book for next year,so a potential financial disaster for the club,if that was case then all this talk about players will be severely hampered.mcmanus has to sign for boro,i would not touch stokes either hes found his level also heard he likes a drink.i think the scandinavian market would be good for us good pros and live there lives good

    Beattie is 32 would provide a physical presence, not sure if he would score enough goals but a decent shout within our budget !

    if i were manager it would be.................
    bye bye: naylor,o'dea, mizuno, n'guemo, wilson, mcgeady, fortune, hutchison, sheridan, mccourt, thompson(loan), yeung(loan)..:bbpd:

    Trying to keep in line with a real life budget, I would then try and build my team around brute strength and have a mix and match with flair with the signings of: Lee Wallace/Paul Dixon, Scott parker, Steve Sidwell, Jason Roberts(Blackburn solid as * and not a bad target man), Andy Driver(good old-schol winger with drive and can actually cross a ball!), Chris Samba blackburn also a big, no-nonsense centre half and possibly stokes from hibs and the surprise signing of Kevin Kyle(on a free and would terrorise auld man davie weir and and the bogeyman)...also try and bleed some of the reserve players into the team gradually

    Boruc
    Hinkel Samba(rogne) Hooiveld Wallace

    Parker(c) Sidwell(Brown)
    Samaras(Mcginn) Driver(maloney)

    Kyle(stokes) Roberts(Rasmussen)
