lol I remember somewhere in the middle of the season before Carlo got sack, I was saying that these 4 where the one we should sell, and bring in 3 players. A Creative mid, RW and RB.

Even today i still think this holds truth.

We're agree.

Though, I'd add to that list a second creative midfielder and a striker.

Another creative midfielder because at the moment we have only McEachran and Benayoun who fit this description. Josh is too young to be an important player for the squad. And for Benayoun... He really isn't a world beater... A good little player yes, but he isn't the man who will make us beat Barça or ManU. And if the first creative mid is Mordic (what I hope for), then I want us to get someone who plays higher on the pitch, a bit like Nasri, Pastore or Ganso.

A striker because Sturridge is the only striker we have in which I have confidence, for the whole season. Drogba is still good, and imo he can still deliver some classy performances, but he is 33 and will turn 34... I don't think he can be good all year long. I don't see why I could have an ounce of confidence in our very own Ladyboy. And then, we have Kalou... Do I need to explain ?

I think there has been a few over the top reactions after yesterday, its a PRE SEASON FREINDLY so calm down.

Remember Jose's first pre season game was a 1-1 draw to Oxford.

This is exactly how I feel. What do people really expect?

It's pre-season friendly for a start, so it's never going to be a display of the best football we are capable of. You have a squad which isn't really put together with much thought, other than to give everybody 45 minutes. The whole team is swapped at half-time, and we have players missing, in our Brazilians and Cech for example.

I personally thought we we looked like a team who were trying to develop a better passing game, but one that just hasn't clicked yet. It will need time. The pace was actually pretty good. And no, not every pass and run came off, but again, we weren't playing with a finely tuned squad, just a mixture of everybody available.

And perhaps I'm just delusional, but I didn't think Bosingwa looked to bad yesterday.

If we sell Anelka, and Kalou then yes we should get a striker.

But then again, we still being linked with Lukaku, so that might be all the striker we need. Lukaku, Sturridge, Torres and Drogba for the new season.

For creative mid, i still keep saying Pastore.

But Pastore at a lower price, not the price Palermo is asking for.

35M is the price i see him going for.

For what it's worth, and mind I don't think it's too much, Porto had a pretty shit pre-season too. When we first got AVB it was suggested that was due to his training methods and namely him using periodisation.

Of course don't let this get in the way of squad devaluing and pre-season panic.
