If the Transfer Domino effect hits your club

    You always hear people talking about their dislike of transfer time, but i gotta be honest i love it. I dont take things too seriously tbh unless it involves my club and looks like its going through but do enjoy the speculation around potential moves and how they will effect the clubs involved. Therefore I think that this could be a fun topic which could throw up some interesting alternate teams.

    If the big transfer rumours surrounding your club this summer came to fruition in a somewhat (afterall you never expect all rumours to happen) logical manner whst could we see?

    for example Arsenal:

    ...............................................Buffon

    Sagna(Eboue)..................Zapata/Subotic..........Vermealen(Djorou)........Cliche(Gibbs/Traore)

    Walcott(Eboue).......Hamsik(Ramsey/Wilshere)......Yaya Toure(Song/Diaby)....Arshavin/Nasri

    ..........................Bendtner/Chamakh...........RVP(Arshavin)

    Fabergas, Eduardo & Almunia out, Toure, Buffon, CM, Chamkah all in for probably no net spend infact foe most likely for a profit.

    30-35m + Yaya Toure for Fabergas
    9m for Eduardo
    Gallas out on a Bosman
    Senderos on a free to Everton
    Rosicky/Vela for 6m
    Almunia for 4m

    Raised- 49-54m

    10-15m for Buffon
    20m for Hamsik
    Chamakh on a free
    15m Zapata
    Yaya Toure as part exchange

    Spent- 45-50m

    Net profit = 4m

    This money plus money recouped from any other sales (Reserves, loanee's etc) and any money that Wenger actually has to spend to begin with could then fund more one relativley big transfer, perhaps a winger. However more likely would be that a new back up centre back would be signed with this money and Wenger would once again be financially frugal for Arsenal, infact that CB could be just when Nordveit steps up or you might still be left with Silvestre as 4th choice CB, if you are lucky though Sol will still fill this spot whilst Wenger signs some other unknown who surprises us all for cheap.

    and my own Villa:

    less news coming out of Villa so despite my not thinking it will happen (esp due to Lerner in one of his very minimal press conferences said it wouldent) ill say that Milner is sold for 24m to someone like City or Utd. Villa have been linked to a number of City players and I would not be surprised to see moves for Ireland and Micah Richards, a new DM would also be needed imo and ive thrown Segesson's name in their just cos he has been linked and fits the mold but id still expect someone else to fill the role needed to atleast rotate with Petrov (esp while Delp is injured), dunno who atm. Similarily Im not sure who we will pursue upfront which is the position without changes to our current squad we def need improvement in. Id have prefered to see more of him and had expected more but i can see NRC going somewhere like Fulham (along with Shorey) and one of Carew or Heskey will probably move too if a new striker comes in with The Fonz becoming (remaining as) the 4th striker. Id actually imagine Carew more likely to leave as at their respective ages he would be more likely to be able to still get one big move with guaranteed first team football for a swansong, like the oft rumoured moves to sides like Fenerbache.

    Milner out for 24m
    Carew out for 5m
    Beye out for 1m
    Shorey out for 2m
    NRC or Sidwell out for 5m
    Harewood out on a free
    Salifou out on a free

    Money raised: 37m

    Ireland in 9m
    Richards in 6m
    New Striker in 12m
    New DM/CM: 7m

    Spent: 34m

    4m profit which could be put with any money that would have been allocated to transfers anyway and money potentially saved on wages and spent on one more first team quality siging to add to what would already be below, maybe a midfielder who can play on the wings:

    ..............................................Friedel

    Richards(L.Young).........Cuellar(Collins)............Dunne(Davies).......warnock(L.Young)


    A.Young................Petrov/Segesson..................Ireland.............Downing

    ....................Gabby(The Fonz).....................New Striker(Heskey/Carew)




    next year Friedels replacement will have to be priority no.1 unless Guzan stepps up

    Rangers - Lose Boyd for free. Wilson 3m to Liverpool. Bougherra, possibly 5 million, maybe a little more depending on world cup.
    Novo, Beasley out of contract.
    Thomson to Middlesborough 2.5m

    Thats the way its looking so far.

    In- Nada, nowt, zilch.

    10m towards the tax bill....:(
