2011-2012 Lineup

[Clevemayer 764]

this depends on how the team is klicking together, I see our strength in our ability to line up different uproaches, I think Mikel has far more chances to be an integral part of this years starting line up than ever, because AVB just loves to play with an deep sitting DM who makes the simple things happen, so Mikel at DM would also be my choice, from That Backline, I will think that Terry/Bana, Luiz/Alex will be the best tandem for rotation in the centerback position, on the right side we will see Bana/Bossy for a while I think, but I really hope to see an addition for that RB spot, on the left side I don't see any need to buy, because we have Cole/Bertrand, thats nuff, on the right side we may could give Billy Clifford a chance, who was on his straight way out, before he impressed so much on his last lone... hope he can keep it up, cause in his early days he looked promising, but after that just stagnated a bit... I personally thought he would go out... We should clearly get rid of ferreira (let hem be senior-1st-team-towel-holder or what so ever just don't play him please) and bossy and add a RB plus Clifford there and Bane can play there too

attackingwise I think Ramires will get the nod over Essien (I hope from the deepest of my heart that essien will come back stronger this seasen), because of AVB also loveing to have an 24/7 running box-to-box midfielder like ramires with endless stamnia carrying the ball with speed and power to the opponents box, running back to his own box like a crazy one... so box-to-box clearly ramires in the first spot with Essien in the second...

on that left side in a normal shape we would see Lamps with bena in rotation, but I hope we get a good crative midfielder, that can take over for Lamps, who than can keep his legs fresh for important games and be there for us, while josh is matureing, so we need a creative OM who can play on the LM, from time to time we could see kakuta take that place to, because for fullham he often played his best matches in that "hole"...

and then there is our attack that we could play in so many different ways, studge on the right side cutting in and shooting with his left foot, or at the left side to provide the main striker with crosses...

A new man for the left side, this is our priority in my opinion, because Kakuta isn't ready, he will be great by time, but not now, I'm sure of that and Flo-Mo was disgusting, even if all that statistics made him player of the season for the EPL he was awfull to watch, the same thing goes for Anela, so both out for me and a new LM/LW comes in playing mainly with kakuta takeing over for not so important matches like against swans etc...

Central striker is another spot I don't know really what to do, if we play with only one spear-head we should keep drogs, if he is willing to take his part-time role there, and keep his legs fresh for important games (as like with lamps) our main targetman should be torres, undoubtable for 50 Million he HAS to perform but if he doesn't drogs should be there... otherwise drogs and kalou out (the latter one out for sure, if not he should only and really ONLY a joker, with studge taking the rol as RW/CF), with a further additon to that spot, so we have mainly three players for that position, Torres/X-Striker/Studge. Clearly we would have a lack of on RW that plays if studge is injured or what so ever, this should be our fifth additon,

so out list:

Ferreira

Bossy

Anelka

Flo-Mo

Kalou(maybe)

Drogs(maybe)

In-List:

RB

RW

LW

OM/CM

CF

In a 4-3-3 the lineup would look like this

this would be 4-diamond-1-1

4-2-2-2 would like this

and a slightly different testing line-up would look like this

that would be my team for 2011

3 purchases for this summer: a CAM, a Winger and a Striker. The least importnat is the striker.

So we will have SIX different players for our front 3, or five if Malouda will leave this summer.

Not sure if this was covered earlier, but AVB is trying to prevent all of this hype surrounding the club's comings & goings. I do like this.

not fantasy at all

Sanchez and Neymar, without Modrich, are realy dreamy fantasy. Its not just about the money, the thing is that Barca want Sanchez,

and Real want Neymar. Sanchez want to go to Barca, and it seem like we are not showing a lot of enthusiasm about him like them and City.

And Neymar wanted by Real who are more stupid than Chelsea, yes yes, So they will probably pay more than us on that 19 year old.

City dont want Sanchez anymore, He was to expensive!

What about AVB saying there'll no new signings until after preseason lol I think there's a chance were getting our hopes up for nothing.

@super-frank ya you're right mate I looked back at the article and I read it out of context. He's simply underplaying the clubs involvement in the market. It seems a good move for a new manager, get the confidence of the players before you start tinkering. He did say though that since he has till 31 aug, he wont be under pressure from the board to make drastic changes, and that he believes the club to have some immense talent on board, just to have experienced a blip in form last season. He seems to be a good tactician and an equally good player manager, seems like we've had either one or the other or neither since mourinho last left. Well see.
