ing hope we don't sell Dawson this summer. He's ****, but he's one of those players I could defend untill the sun comes up. We have so many good centre-backs in our country, Dawson is good but bit to go yet. A move to a "bigger" Champions league playing team or if Spurs can get their act together and King can stay fit maybe they can challenge for a spot next season but the top 4 are impregnable atm. Woodgate too, why can't they (Spurs) get things done? I know they are not fighting for much any longer this season, they should catch West Ham but they are way too inconsistant. We can't get things done because with the mixture of Chimbonda/Dawson, Kaboul/Dawson or Kaboul/Chimbonda in our defence, it's a ing walking disaster area. Players playing out of position, constant lapses in concentration, and Paul Robinsons early form has cost us this season. I don't know if we've really got the time for Kaboul next season. He's not even a center-back anyway, he's a defensive midfielder. So much responsibility on such young shoulders this season, and unfortunately he hasn't coped with it.

Aye, I reckon send him out on loan for a season just to get him used to playing in the Premier League as well as relieving him of the pressure of playing for his future at the club. Woodgate, King, Dawson and another centre back bought in the summer should do, plus Bale and Assou-Ekotto back at left back and it's happy days.

Aye, i like his style tho, seems to be able to play the ball well, can't do centre-back tho. I like that Kevin Prince-Boateng fella you lot have got, nifty little midfielder, what do you think of him?

Boateng has been absolutely shocking to say that he came with a big reputation. He just fouls. They need to send him out on loan next year as well as Kaboul. Two for the future.

Dervite. Rocha was a shoddy buy. Rocha's not bad, probably our most technically sound CB in terms of ability, and he knows his position. But he bottles every header he goes in for. Plus, he's injury prone.

Hughy/Titch/Vettel
What do you see happening when Bale recovers from injury seeing as Malbranque is playing in LM at the moment. I know Bale can play Left-Back but what do you reckon Ramos will do with him?

I like that Kevin Prince-Boateng fella you lot have got, nifty little midfielder, what do you think of him? Terrible first season. But it does take a lot of players a season to settle in to the English game. We certainly already have better players of his role, not to mention we'll' be buying at least one more AM in the summer. For me, he's as good as gone.

Bale can also slot in at left back, and from what I saw of him this season, he is a damn good player. I am sure he will get games.

I know Bale can play Left-Back but what do you reckon Ramos will do with him? I wish United grabbed him, perfect left-winger imo, i think Ramos will have him at left-back still because Malbranque does a decent enough job out on the left. But if they buy someone else who can play left then someone will have to go and Malbranque could be the one who gets dropped . I think there have been flashes from Boateng, could use a loan move to a different English club to get aclimitised properly but looks ok. Might shine next season, might be gone tho as he hasn't done much recently, i'd keep tabs tho, if he moves abroad cos he could just be a player that can't hack the Prem.

Bale is the best thing ever. I was going to say since sliced bread, but I'm allergic to it, so he's the best. Got him on my shirt. Hopefully he'll play left back and we'll buy a proper left winger. Bale + another attacking down there would be dangerous. Maybe even Taarabt can get a few starts on the left wing.

I know Bale can play Left-Back but what do you reckon Ramos will do with him? Malbranque wont get a game as a LM next season. If we use him it'll be in his preferred position as an AM. 1/2 GK 1 CB 2 CM 1 LM 1 RW 1 ST If we can keep hold of Lennon, Chimbonda and Berbatov, and Bale returns from injury, that's what we'll be looking at buying, I think. That'll leave us with... GK - _____ & Cerny RB - Hutton & Chimbonda CB - Woodgate & ______ CB - King & Kaboul/Dervite LB - Bale & Gilberto RM - Lennon & _____ CM - Jenas & _____/Malbranque CM - ______ & Huddlestone/O'Hara LM - ______ & Rose ST - Keane & ______ ST - Berba & Bent I think it's likely that Robinson, Rocha, Ghaly, Stalteri, Gardner Zokora, BAE and KPB could all be sold/out on loan.

Rose, good shout. Sounds like he's quality from what I've read. Don't forget about Taarabt though.
