Ok it’s the Summer Suarez has just gone to PSG for £40 Million on top of a transfer kitty of £20 Million the club have given you! You can also spend any money you bring into the club, what you would like to happen. - Now this is just a bit of fun, but let’s try and keep it realistic.. I’m looking at you Gerrez no Neymar lol
Could we invest some of the £60m into scientists to create a time machine? We could buy Barnes and co. and since prices were much lower back then we wouldn't need to keep much back. Would be a superb long term investment too! (not sure this fits in with the realistic rule)
Ok, realistic: BR tries to replace Suarez by buying HBA and plays him up-front. Newcastle play hardball so we only get him after a £25m + Carrol offer. After 20 mins in the first preseason game, he and Joe Allen high-five after a Sturridge goal and end up dislocating each others shoulders. With no striker at the club, and no one interested in joining, BR publicly apologises to Carroll for not recognizing his genius before and swoops for him again from Newcastle for the remaining £35m of our transfer funds. Newcastle buy the remainder of France and Senegal's first team squad for the £60m we give them and finish first in the PL.
All good the idea was try and bring a little fun back to the board.. And after all we are Red men we rule at funny and make believe
Sell: Suarez - £40m (don't agree, just playing the game) Coates - £4m Skrtel - £10m Downing - £6m Assaidi - £2m Carragher - free Total: £62m (£82m to spend) Need a back-up GK, LB, CB, CB, DM, AM, CF. Thats seven players with £82m to spend (average of £11.7m per signing)
I could see that one come true mate! Think Shelvey might also move in the summer, i think our new transfer team is going to have a lot of work on!
-----------------Reina----------------- Wisdom--Santana(BVB)--Agger--Johnson ---------Gerrard--------Lucas---------- ----------------Coutinho--------------- Sturridge---------Michu-----------Tello Not going nuts on the spending and trying to be a bit realistic.
Gk: ??? Lb: ??? Cb: De Vrij (£10m) Cb: Alderweireld (£10m Dm: Alonso (£8m) Am: Eriksen (£18m) Cf: Neymar (£30m) Thats £76m with £6m left for a gk and lb Now thats fictional!!!!!
Scenario in OP plus: Out: Coates, Assaidi, Pacheco, Galucci, Flanagan, Spearing, Carroll. Listen to offers for: Downing, Skrtel. In: Michu, Erikson or Belhanda, Alonso, Alderweireld. -------------------Reina--------------- -Johnson--Alderweireld--Agger--Enrique- -------------------Lucas--------------- ----------Henderson-----Gerrard-------- -------Erikson/b------------Coutinho---- -------------------Michu--------------- Subs: Jones, Kelly, Alonso, Allen, Sterling, Borini, Sturridge. Start Sturridge in easier games with Erikson/Belhanda in for Henderson. Alonso starts really though games and rotates with Lucas.
Jovetic £30m Diame 10m Alderweireld 10m Deulofeu 10m Then player sales for the rest - back up left back, keeper etc.
If we're selling Suarez to PSG we might be able to do a deal to get Ancelotti. He rates Liverpool fans the best he's heard. Plus, he's a proper manager who's won stuff and inspires players to win stuff. Which we haven't had for, oooh, almost a season now.
We've tried the joint manager thing before, it didn't work! Wouldn't it be over a season? They stopped playing after winning the League Cup!
There were a few rumours of us talking to Ancelotti re. a Sporting director role. FSG still want one which I think is a sensible idea. Our appeal to players is slowly fading and a big name like Ancelotti will help attract them.
