    Janku to Roma as part of the Mexes deal (since Cissokho was signed). Oddo to, eh, Lazio, maybe? I dunno, he isn't needed/wanted though and Bayern aren't keeping him.

    Team ; POMPEY

    If you go by what the scummy press are reporting, we are to be bought by a consortium consisting of the chairman of the premier league, the ex thai prime minister and manchester City.

    We are then selling all our players to Spurs before we go bankrupt.


    In reality,

    likely departures

    Glen Johnson, Sol Campbell and a few whose contracts have expired.

    Likely signings:

    Thierry Henry and David Beckham or failing that, some guy from scunthorpe on a free.

    who bloody knows. We could be mega rich, or we might not even survive to the beginning of the next season.

    Wes is going to Leeds? That would be brillaint, especially if he's signed by the time we have our friendly, he'd get a great welcome back to Tolka. Hero of a player.

    Joe Kennedy looks good for the future as well. Saw him in the FA Youth Cup Final, could be the next Jamie Carragher, imo.

    Yeah true but I only put in the guys who I think will play a few times this season. JK will probably not make the team this season but he'll be in my OTW next season. Hopefully he'll get a few reserve games this season.

    Joe Kennedy was released before the Youth Cup.
    He has no future at Liverpool.
    From what little I saw of him and from the reports I've read, he has little chance of making it at Premiership Level.
