Next season's XI plus wishlist

A top quality CB, like Woody or Ledley, who has a 99.9% chance of being fit for the full season. I'm not confident in Dawson and Kaboul's ability, and I'm not confident in Ledley and Woody's ability to stay fit.

Left midfield player, someone like Petrov! You might say we have Bale when he's fit but I haven't seen enough of him to say 'yes hes our man'.

A centre midfield player who can do more than just charge up and down non-stop for 90mins. I like Zokora, think he's great character and I love seeing him run the length of the pitch charging by everyone. But I hate seeing him then fuck it all up, either sending one into row Z or fluffing a pass. Carrick anyone?

World class striker number 3. Goodbye Darren Bent.

Robbo, cya.

If with somehow get Bentley then I wouldn't be too sad to see Lennon go.

Stekelemburg/ Gomes / Cudicini / De Santis

Hutton- Woodgate- King- Bale/Gilberto

Bentley/Steed - Hudd - Albelda - Bale/Malouda

Keano Berbatov


If Hudd is regard as a future key player and given a regular starting appearance
Then we hv to find a partner which is suitable to play together with him, cover his weakness (lack of agility , not too strong and tough in tackling ).
Albelda is my choice , also in his age he won't argue too much for 1st team football

Personally think tht Hudd would look more comfortable in 3 centre midfields like Pirlo in AC Milan. But we would never play 3 CM and seems it wouldn't work. Pity

Malouda looks gd and nth wrong in the match against England and he apparently not in Grant's plan.
Bentely has already shown us his quality and on the other hand i'm not too optimist whether Lennon can make an improvement next season.
Man City would extremely in signing him and willing to make a good offer ( Rumour reported tht Man City are willing to make an 50M offer for Berba and Lennon )

Moreover , a quality 3rd centre back as well

My preferred XI (WL):



Don't waste any penny on Ronnie
Spend big on Vd Vaart and Villa!
