Since we are naming squads I'll have a go

GK - Cech, Turnbull*, Hilario

Defenders - Brana, "Isla, "Dann/Cahill*, JT*, Luiz, Cole*, Zhirkov

Midfield - Lampard*, Mikel, Ramires, "Modric, "Vidal/Sissoko, Benayoun

forwards - Sturridge*, "Mata/Turan, "Falcao/Drogba, Torres, Malouda, "Pastore, Kalou



Key -
* = homegrown
" = New signing

Obv my squad would be supplemented with the likes of Kakuta, Bertrand, (maybe Lukaku) etc and any young players we sign.

TNS-

Barca have 12m coming in for Bojan and 20m for Zlatan. that makes 72m. They obv only expected 1 of Sanchez and neymar,

Sanchez plus Fabregas sounds about right to me

Bertrand I think is over-21 so would count as homegrown, but yeah that squad looks solid are you allowed to use under-21s to make up remaining homegrown spots?

As for Sanchez, sad to hear LLTL you're right, I'm not sure where the money's coming from. However, I think they were linked with all 3 so that they'd almost definitely get one. Fabregas will stay at Arsenal for another season at least. He, like Luka has been very stupid to sign such a lengthy deal.

Olympique de L'Arseille won't want to sell their best player for under 40M

Anelka is coming here just so we can hangout at the beach

Beckham is most likely on his way out this season but if we pull in Anelka I see beckham signing on for one or two more seasons.

If I can get a bit of Chelsea over here ill take it. Even if it is Anelka.

RtM I'm seeing Transformers tomorrow is it any good?

CSTP- The first half if really good. Funny Im a big fan of Andy Daley and the little asian guy from Role Models/The Hangover.

After that it's robots fighting while having conversations. "You fight for the humans?"

"Oh, come on. They ain't so bad." Fight, smash, explosion, repeat. All while you never really car. Its all spectacle at the end.

Care*

CSTP - so long as your foreign over 21 year old players doesn;t exceed 17 you can either have empty spaces or Homegrown players for the rest (obv of you only have 12 foreign you could have 13 homegrown etc)

U21 players don't count towards the squad at all so you can have 100 foreign u21 players if you really wanted.

City have rejected Corinthians £35m bid because they are holding out for a £50m offer.

....for Tevez

Torres,Benayoun and Rajkovic all scored in a 3 nil victory over Wycombe.

AVB will have getting a good look at the squad since it was pretty much two different teams either half.

Rajkovic!

Id like to see more of him.

2 definite 4-3-3's there and good to see the varied use of the younger players. Plus any goal for Torres is a plus.

RtM. Rajkovic is terrible. He would also take up an over 21 year old non homegrown place in the squad. He also doesn;t seem a very nice person.

I think now that Torres has pretty much had all of his end of season break minus 2 games with Spain i think, he's had a good amount of time to rest. Plus with his own trainer their now.

Not going to say this goal against Wycombe will open the flood gates, but i'll stick by what i said when we signed him. Torres will be our highest scorer next season.

Sorry Saint that was my reply to the Barca supposed 'budget'. My iPod's battery died so I couldn't reply to your post. I'm back on now because I didn't realise there was a charger hidden next to me...

RtM - I ask because my friends wanted to see it. I haven't seen any of the films and wants to watch X-Men, but it was already decided

Anyway Saint...here's the thing. He's wanted to go to Barca for a while now. This time last year didn't he even hand in a request? So basically, I don't see the point of signing such a long contract extension. I know at the time he didn't know what exactly could happen, but there was a good chance he would go on to become a world class talent. It's never a good idea to commit yourself for such a long period. He'd have gotten his wish and dream return by now if he hadn't been foolish. It's his own fault that he's not fulfilled his dream, and my not do so until he reaches his peak (or afterwards). There's no point being unhappy that you're not where you want to be if you only have yourself to blame.

Would have liked Lalkovic to have getting on. He said on his Twitter it was a good experience for him. Kalas got a half though which is good.

Kalou missing the target story of his life.
