tippy25 wrote: » torres, via Liverpool? and as one of my more superstitious mates pointed out if your into patterns -> strikers that came to England from athletico 1) - Torres - 2) - Aguero - 3) - Costa - Possibly .. I dunno ive been reading that hes volatile kind of a player, wont take well to the physicality of English defences .. and then you have jose's old favourite Drogba to come on in relief on the hour mark whenever he's playing patchy..

I am presuming you will play 4-4-2, given your third striker, with Bojan you could play 4-3-3 or 3-4-3, also if you had a cheapie 5th Midfielder you (Albrighton, or another 4.5M midfielder) would free up funds. Will Targett play? You do have a decent starting 11 to be fair, but your bench with Zamora (Will he start - according to soccerway made 19 appearances last year - in championship too, so premier league is a level higher) or Targett (will he start, talk is he will replace luke shaw but he is young so who knows) means you risk having JUST Siggy as a sub (gw 1,4,11,12 are difficult ones for him)... Also consider two average gk for example two 4.5m who rotate well, well and good having DDG and gilks, for gw 9/10/16 ddg has difficult fixture and so do Burnley / Gilks... Not a problem you need to consider now though as uniteds opening fixtures are friendly... Just if you want to free up 0.5 / 1m to improve bench you could downgrade DDG to a 4.5 / 5m GK. You COULD get costa and wilshire for giroud and fabregas, whether wilshire will perform etc I dont know, chances are he will play deeper, or you could combine wilshire and siggy for 12.5m and try find a decent combo for the two, maybe one 7.5/8 and one cheapie for bench? Just a few suggestions and I could be totally wrong.....

Dont be at yourself wrote: » I think Terry's too expensive, and would look at cheaper short-term options like Chambers and Blackett, or the likes of Lovren, Evans for slightly cheaper long-term options. I'd also try and get some Liverpool attackers in, given the amount of goals they've scored (even without Suarez). Maybe Sterling in for Mata, or Henderson for Siggurdson? Doubling up on Arsenal could also back-fire, but Giroud is probably the best option in that price bracket. Dzeko, maybe?
