It's the homegrown players rule for both the Europa league thingy, and for the PL we can have a max amount of 25 players over 21, and 8 must be homegrown, i think.

Not until the sky falls.
Morale in the dressing room isn't an issue. Bosmans earn boatloads more than others for obvious reasons. Anyone would have paid 15m for cole and four million a year for four years meaning the contract would have cost 30m. If he wants 6m a year then it's still cheap. In fact if you paid him 12m for two years you could still flog him for ten and the whole thing would only cost 2.
I often wonder why I'm not in charge of all this stuff

He's 28. He'll have very little sell-on value in two years' time.

Mind you, that's quite uncharitable to Johnson.
Am I the only person here who thinks Johnson could be one of the very best wingers in the world, and wonders who the fuck ever told him he was a defender?
[/quote]
No, you definitely aren't.
[/quote]
Yup.
If I were in charge I'd buy a cheap, solid RB and put Johnson further up the pitch.

Perhaps we should just have defenders that can defend then , instead of relying on Mascher do do half the job for them 😉

True, I've said elsewhere that Johnson needs moving up the pitch and Johnson needs selling.
But Masher will need replacing with a defensive minded player regardless of what happens in defense. A Gerrard and Alonso partnership didn't work as well as we hoped, and Xabi holds far more than Gerrard and Aquilani ever will.
We need someone to leave their mark on the oppositions shins, and who doesn't cost £20M plus. It shouldn't be too difficult.

I suspect he meant attack the opponent's goal rather than anyone within five metres regardless of shirt colour.
[/quote]
Ha ha.
Or indeed launch a barrage attack of row 47 at every ground he played at, with every pass he received.

As i dont know the situation with Mascherano i didnt put the DM there. If Mascher was stayin i wouldv put him there but i dont know who would replace him so i just put the attacking 5.

The defence looks a bit dodgy.
[quote author=SaRed link=topic=40868.msg1136070#msg1136070 date=1279178786]
Meireles is average.
[/quote]
Well he isnt anything special but its not like we are going to go and spend 20mil or so on a defensive midfielder like diarra or cambiasso etc. So for around 10mil Meireles or Khedira would be great.
Also the defence is that dodgy, Skrtel and Carra alternate and Agger is a good player. As for johnson and figueroa they can help attack. Not that defensive but ahhwell

Very true! 🙂 Typified by the opinions I have seen expressed that Mascherano could be replaced by a more creative midfielder!
You can't be creative unless someone has first won the ball!
