    So, name the following :- (only three of each)

    your team

    three you want rid of
    three you want in (as realistic a target)

    So I suppose I should start

    Liverpool

    Voronin
    Riise
    Pennant

    Villa
    SWP (I think he is only on the fringe at Chelseas and think a move would rejuvenate him)
    Micah Richards (if all of those boyos are leaving we may be able to pick him up)

    You'd be correct in that assumption. But they sound very exotic. Might go into the men's boutique business with Neale Fenn and Joe Gamble :D

    Ah but they're headed to either Milan or United next season, you willing to move to either of those destinations to follow your entrepreneurish dreams?

    I'd agree with your outs but Berbatov is not a United player. He hasn't got the work ethic or hunger for a club like United. No offence to Spurs fans but that's the type of club he should be at clubs that will never be in fear of being relegated but that are never really going to chase the big prizes. Don't think he has the attitude for either United or definitely wouldn't want him if I was at the bottom end of the table.

    McGeady would be found out in the Premier League I think. Hear so much about him from Celtic fans and he obvioulsy has a talent. Justdoesn't seem to show it whenever I watch him. Hope I'm proved wrong though.

    No idea who your last one is :confused:

    I wouldn't agree with you on Berbatov. Cantona hadn't got the greatest work ethic for United but he had the ability to pick teams apart and I see Berbatov doing a similar job at United. If he has a hunger for trophies other than the Carling Cup then I think he'd be well up for it.

    I think you have fair concerns on McGeady although I'm hoping he can fulfil his potential. I also want more Irish players at the club. :D

    Srna's a Croatian international. Great crosser of the ball. He's set to feature in Euro 2008 and I'm hoping he can help them do well in the tournament. Would raise his profile anyway.

    The difference is that Cantona was pretty much guaranteed to start every game while Berb wont be happy to sit on the bench very often to faciltate Tevez and/or Rooney.

    Do the Liverpool fans just want Riise out cause of that OG?!

    No, he's been a passenger for 2 seasons now.

    Well frankly if he wouldn't be willing to accept squad rotation then he would be stupid to join a top four club as it's bound to happen.

    United fan, and I'm actually struggling to think of players I want out. I think some of the fringe players have stepped up big time when they've been called upon this season, even after long periods of being out; Fletcher in the Cup match (he always seems to step up to the big games), Sylvestre after his lengthy injury, even O' Shea. In fact, the only first-team player I can think of that I want out is Saha. Sympathy has turned into downright frustration. If pushed I'd say Dong, but it's not as if we have to put up with him regularly. Can't think of a stand-out third player.

    Players in is a different story:

    Micah Richards: I don't think Neville will ever play a full season again and, while Brown has been excellent all season, I think it's time to look for a long-term right back. Richards is a beast, and with the uncertainty around Sven there's never been a better time to raid City.

    Berbatov: I had a few reservations eariler in the season when he was being linked, but he is just quality. He'd bring something totally different to what is there as well. Of all the other strikers being linked, Benzema, Huntelaar etc he is also proven Premiership quality.

    No third player is springing immediately to mind, maybe a central midfielder. While Anderson is the heir apparent to Scholes, wouldn't mind seeing someone else like Van Der Vaart come in. Regular for Holland and Hamburg's captain, you'd forget he's only in his mid-20's.

    Mikel and Kalou? really? anytime i've seen them play i've been mostly impressed. would certainly love to see them move across to the emirates if they we were moving, especially Mikel.
