You're the manager, now pick your team

jonno

Right with all the speculation and rumours flying before the transfer window opens, here's your chance to pick your team.

Just say you got the opportunity to manage your favourite footie team. What would you do this summer?

The board will provide you with 20million to start with (forget about currencies) now spend it as you think best and name your preferred starting lineup. BTW you can sell players (not more than 5) to provide extra funds but please use realistic prices.

You can't finish with a deficit either.

And the answer to everyone's question is 'yes I'm very bored today'

Anyway I'll start off and my team is Liverpool.

Out:

Hamann - 8m
Heskey - 8m
Babbell - 3m
Biscan - 1.5m
Traore - 1.5m

Total: 22m (+20m budget = 42m)

In:

Cisse - 12m
Finnan - 3m
Boumsong - 3m
Duff - 18m ( or Kewell - 7m)
Yakin - 1.5m (ATM he's available for 750,000)
Malbranque - 3.5m

Team:

Kirkland

Finnan
Hyppia
Boumsong
Risse

Malbranque
Gerrard
Yakin
Duff/Kewell

Cisse

starting squad.

Diada.

Kladaze
Maldini
Nests
Puyol

Seedorf
Pirlo
Rui Costa
Gattauso

Shevchenko

(with more of a flat four midfeild with seedorf and gattauso playing wide.)

With those changes the squad is perfect.

You're the manager, now pick your team

NO. Ill just play CM4 instead of random talk.

Pepe LeFrits

I'd start by buying a completely new squad after the entire Arsenal squad quits following the appointment of a 20 year old with no experience.

the fnj

Fulham FC

Out

Andy Melville (free)
Lee Clark (1mil)
Barry Hayles (500k)
Andrejs Stolcers (1 mil)
Steve Marlet (5mil)

Gives me a budget of 27.5 mil, now I won't just sign the likes of Ronaldinho because i know they wouldn't go (maybe in a year or two ) even though I'd really like to.

I'd sign Diego from Santos for 7 mil
Batistuta for free
Joe Cole for 5mil
David Dunn for 5mil
Wayne Bridge for 6mil
Gabriel Milito for 4.5mil



Van der Sar

Finnan
Bridge
Goma
Milito

Malbranque
Cole
Dunn
Davis

Batistuta
Diego

Top six finish with that team easy.

You never know:

I don't think he's going to come either but it would be fantastic for Man U if he did - its like he was born to fill Keano's spot.

Seaneh

No, it's like Keano and Redondo were born to get the football world ready for Reno!
