Striker please.

In all seriousness, if we could get rid of malwank and/or taino and get a top class midfielder in I'd be extatic, but really, is it going to happen? by January we may be just in the top half of the table at best...

Realistically, I think we have capable enough CB in Dawson, Gardner, Rocha & Kaboul with Dervitte and King on the way. I don't actually believe the personnel is the problem.

A new GK would be nice, but I'd be more than happy for Cerny and Alnwick to be given a real chance under a good coaching system.

They reckon the board will give him the same amount of cash that Jol had. We'll see, but i'm not sure. Maybe for next summer, not January.

I hope Robo recaptures his form.
would be a shame to see him replaced permanently

True. It all went downhill for Robo once he killed the ED209 in the second movie. I mean the third movie when Robo could fly? That was just stupid. I don't remember why OCS didn't make more Robocops, he was cool.

I wish Robbo could fly.

i dont think we need to replace robbo, i think we need in a top gk coach to get him back to his best.

that season before the world cup he was the best keeper in the league and we just have to get him back to the way he played then.

GK coach and fitness coach has to be our top priority. Think Segars must have been doing something horribly wrong...
That and a top class CM (but where from?).

We need a top class keeper, top class centre back to partner king, a top class creative central midfielder to partner kaboul and a top class left footed left winger

If Ramous has 40m to spend. Spend around 10m on each position. No 40m on squad players, not 40m for future players with potential but 40m for 4 FIRST TEAM PLAYERS

Out:

Kaboul
Jenas
Chimbonda
Rocha
Tainio
Zokora

Not top 6 quality let alone top 4.

We need a complete overhaul in the defense & midfield. We haven't become a shit team over night, it's just that the other teams are improving at a faster rate than we are.

Should've brought Eriksson in and all his signings, and sacked Jol, Commoli & Hughton last summer.

Go on, jump the gun!

Fuck sake, he has been here no time, should not have been playing at all yet.

I don't think we need a new goalkeeper do we? Robinson hasn't been good but he's shown in the past when fit and confident he can be one of the best keepers in the league.

Going out and buying a new goalkeeper seems like a waste of money to me when we could really be spending that money on positions that need sorting out the most, e.g. defence and midfield.

Ramos is used to spending thriftily and won't be used to squillions being spent. I expect to see our squad thinned out - ie three strikers - and some older players coming in to provide stability and leadership. The likes of Naybet will be more evident next season, count on it.

Remind me again... is it not the DoF who spends the millions? Isn't that the point of the continental set-up? So how can Ramos be "given 40 mill to spend?" The DoF's responsibility is player acquisition. That is a fact.
