Trick or treat?

If these takeover rumours prove to be true and it happens before Christmas this is the team i'd love to see before next season:

---------------------Howard------------------
--------------------------------------------------
--Coleman--Jagielka--Distin--Baines--
---------------------------------------------------
-----Osman------M'Vila------Barkley-----
---------------------------------------------------
---Eriksen-----Doumbia-----Drenthe---

Then either sell Fellani or keep him as a sub.
Keep Rodwell as a sub.
Keep Cahill as a sub. {Ed025's Note - i like the new signings mate...but your right hand side is weak,

I have to agree with Ed, as much as I love Leon I think he would struggle for a game if we had money to throw around. I also think we should build around Felli, not get rid of him!

Ok then, how about this:

Switch Osman with M'Vila
Take off Osman and put Fellani where M'Vila was

Nice!

Hey Ed025, forgot to put my name on the end of the post above.
Also what do you think is wrong on the right side.

Breeno {Ed025's Note - for me breeno, osman & coleman are very lightweight, they give us very little defensively, and to be honest, leon is only a squad player at best!, i know some blues will say he was our best player last year, but give me someone like joey barton any day, leon drifts in and out of games too much, and although i think he has the ability...he lacks the one quality we expect of all our players....heart!

Hey Ed, what do you not like about the right side and what would you do differently?
I'd like to see what you would change on my team because I think its very good. Its very attacking plus its very secure in my opinion. Would like to see your opinion. {Ed025's Note - please see previous post...and for coleman replace with heitinga, and osman with barton.....just my opinion!

Ok Ed, don't like Barton that much though, and Coleman is there because I think if he gets more experience there he could be really good and turn out like Baines.
Also sorry for posting that twice because I posted the first one and it didn't go up so I thought something went wrong with it or something and so you didn't see it.

Breeno {Ed025's Note - i agree that coleman is one for the future breeno, just not ready yet...barton is very effective, a total pot herb, but very effective..

Howard
heitinga jags ecuele-manga baines
rodwell fellaini holtby
drenthe saha doumbia

or pushing drenthe to RM to form a 4-4-2 {Ed025's Note - if only..

Why are people still talking about barton - he's gone to QPR hasn't he - presumably for at least a few years - we had a chance in the summer and Moyes wasn't interested (big mistake with Pienaar Fellaini running his contract down)

Wowww ed025..... i usually agree with most things you say mate, but to say Leon Osman lacks heart when he plays is probably the worst judgement of a player i can think off, i totally agree that he is a squad player and is not consistent enough to be a starter in the 11 but he lacks heart ??? No way {Ed025's Note - i will change that ...to bite then...maybe heart was not the right word, i do think he tries, but he is very frustrating, we all know he has the ability, but for me does not get involved enough..

Yes, bite is probably the right word mate, agree with ya now haha.

everton in talks with a possiable take over this could see the toffes bring in the likes of joey barton from qpr and samba from blackburn the company from india are also intrestead in setting up everton with a new ground (matches will be played on the shankleys till the stadium is complete) any of this true ed? {Ed002's Note - There is some discussions with investors from India - and that is about it right now.}

Firstly i never want to see Billy play ever again, he was appalling. Lacks pace, touch, confidence, vision and workrate.

Very unhappy with the result at the weekend. A lot of possession with no end product what so ever. The highlight of the second half for me was the 35 yarder from Jags! I am also starting to think that we might be better off playing Coleman at right back. He seems to be better at getting a run up and overlapping the midfield. Far to many times at the weekend the ball falls to Hibbo and no end product. Yes he can defend but he cant pass or cross. We also can not carry on playing the rest of the season with Osman in front of Rodwell and Felliani. A real lack of pace in the middle and we break so slowly. Cahill needs to start scoring to warrant his place as well. Would try this for the Newcastle match as Felli is suspended and assuming Neville and Cahill are fit.

Howard


Coleman Heitinga/Distin Jags Baines

Neville Rodwell

Barkley Osman/Cahill Drenthe


Saha


We need a new play maker in January as a priority. Missing Arteta big time.

How many more times, Coleman can't defend and you'd seriously play Neville in midfield instead of Felli? {Ed025's Note - i must admit...it seems strange to me as well..

He didnt pick Neville above Fellaini. He is suspended so quite obviously that means he cant play...please either learn to read or read the entire post before passing judgement

Felli is suspended for newcastle game thats why Neville will play otherwise felli would be playing!!

Id go for;
Howard
Hibbert Jags Distin/Heitinga Baines

Coleman Neville Rodwell Drenthe

Cahill Saha

Pretty solid and defensive in the middle with rodders and nev and then pace with Drenthe and Coleman {Ed025's Note - so you are dropping fellaini for neville?....not for me mate...if you swap fellaini for neville...and vellios for cahill, then it does not look too bad with the squad we have at the moment..

I think we should sign Akinfenwa from Gillingham for fun. Has anyone seen this guy? He looks like he's eaten the Yak! He's 6ft 1, 16s 7lbs. WOW!!

Sorry. He's a Northampton now I think.
