    Design your team

    Lets say Rafa had got £70m in the summer which was made up of £30m (from the £120m+ prem money) on top of the money for the sales of Mitro, Sels, Mbemba and Merino (another £40m) choose the team you would have liked us to field for the season. Obviously it has to be realistic prices for purchased players (ie: I think hes a little sh1t but someone like Shaquiri for £13m would have improved us) and can include current players ie: Ritchie and Shelvey in the squad/team.

    Jean Michael Seri for £25 mil

    Jordan Ayew...couple of mil for the loan?

    Danny Ings...few mil loan?

    Andre Schurrle...another loan, another few mil

    All options in midfield and attack which is where we're going to struggle.

    Pieters from Stoke as LB cover...a few mil?

    Nowt extravagant but would have significantly improved our chances of survival.

    I would settle for one marquee player and 2/3 other positions strengthened by better than we have now.

    This done over 3/4 windows would give us a cracking squad worthy of Rafa and I would hope leading to him staying patricularly if the fat slug was gone. Just a thought.

    We could of got Pieters from Stoke easily. They wanted £4 million so we went with £1.5million or £2 million on deadline day.

    I have to say from what i've seen Seri looks like a great pick up! very composed on the ball, can pick a pass i don't think Fulham will have him for long.

    Shame we were linked to him, if only we had a semi decent owner

    I dunno, their owner is very ambitious and they are London based he'll probably give them longer than other clubs.

    Exactly. "Every penny the club generates" then we make a profit on the transfer window, ffs!

    Lying, greedy bastard.
