<strong>Well first thing I would do is to warn all the players that NO ONE has a guaranteed place at OT
2) I would twart forever the 4-4-1-1 formation
and return to the 4-4-2
3) I would never change a players position ( unless in extremely emergency cases)
4) I would off load the dead wood ( P Nev, Blanc, Forlan, May, chadwick and Fortune)
5) Loan our youths
6) recall webber
7) Search for new players
We need 1 A left back
2 a Center back
3 a winger that can play on two flanks
4 two forwards
left back my fav (Kaladze 12M can play equally well both as left, central and defensive midfielder.)
Central back Ayala FREE (a wonderful and experienced defender with an EU passport )
Winger on both wings Castroman 5m ( Argies answer to Ryan Giggs. Can play anywhere on the flanks ( LB, RB , LW, RW) and can be inserted in the Lazio's deal for stam's payment
Two forwards
a) Ronaldinho 20m ( The player most close to Cantona's mould. Can cover both Scholes/Veron and would be an ideal partner for RVN)
b) Either Lopez 4m ( Argentinian striker cum left winger. can be inserted into Stam's deal) or Chervanton (3.2m Lecce thundering striker, scored tons of goals in the serie A and B)
41m worth of talent
which could be payed
12m owned by Lazio
other 15m from the players we have sold
CONCLUSION we can afford a further 15 M to return to our best

I'm going to be argumentative cause i feel like whinging and its my birthday tomorrow so it's my privilage.
2) The way we play formation are almost non-existant. Our players are flexible and can adapt to almost any formation. The formation is not causing us the problem, it is the constant switching from game to game.
3) Phil Nev. was a revelation when asked to play as a defensive midfielder. Ole has has some good performances when playing on the left, Becks has played well in the middle. John O'Shea at right back
4) Dead Wood?
Fortune - been out injuried for about a year.
Blanc - Been excellent this year, scored on Wed.
Forlan - Overall play is very good, just no happening in front of goal at the moment.
5) Danny Webber - Watford
Jimmy Davis - Swindon
Bojan Djordjic - Arahaus
7) Search for New Players - Oh yeah its that simple. A winger who can play both flanks - Go on then name some, who are good enough, i can only think of maybe 2, actually no just 1 - Zambrotta
Lazio have apparently made arrangements to pay.
