I’ve heard on the grapevine that martins may be offloaded in jan as JK doesn’t think he’s a team player (tho think KK said much the same) – surely we’d be better off getting rid of the above list first than our most likely person to score goals out of nothing – lets hope its just rubbish

just shows what a joke we are

Coloccini
Taylor
Beye
Jose Enrique (backup LB)
Bassong
Cacapa (SELL HIM)
Edgar (loan him out)

Butt
Duff
Gutierrez
Guthrie
Geremi (sell him)
Barton
N’Zogbia
Nacho (send him back)
LuaLua (loan him out)

Smith (sell him)
Martins
Ameobi (if good deal, sell him)
Owen
Xisco
Carroll
Viduka (sell him while he still has a price tag)

next we promote some youngsters up and buy some players like baines and benayoun. case solved.

This is NOT a small squad so please stop saying it! We’re deficient in backup for defence and could use an AM but that is it. It’s not a case of small squad, it’s a case of quantity but not quality. I’d rather we had about 7 midfielders who were all challenging for a place rather than 9 with a few tag alongs. As for strikers, we have 7 which is ridiculous. You need no more than 5 really or 6 at a push and then only if they’re forwards and not strikers.

I’ve said this time and time again and you keep writing this rubbish about our squad size. We need to redistribute the squad size not just sign more players. We can easily afford to cut about 4 or 5 of our current squad and not even notice it. It would save wage bill and give more money to get in the 1 or 2 players who will actually give a massive boost to the team.
