If YOU was the Arsenal manager

by Anfield 89 » Tue Feb 02, 2010 9:00 pm

I know its a bit of a fantasy, but im sure we have all at some point tried picking the team or thought "why dont Arsenal sign him / sell him"

Well now its your chance.

Lets say Wenger was sacked at the end of this season, and "YOU" took over, what changes would you make in the summer? Players in and out.

What Formation would you play? Pick your starting 11 for the first game of next season

Here is YOUR current squad of players with the market value, You have £30m in the bank to spend but you can add to this from the sale of any player listed below.


1 Almunia £3m
2 Diaby £8m
3 Sagna £10m
4 Fabregas £40m
5 Vermaelen £16m
7 Rosicky £4m
8 Nasri £8m
9 Eduardo £7m
10 Gallas £4m
11 van Persie £17m
12 Vela £5m
14 Walcott £8m
15 Denilson £4m
16 Ramsey £7m
17 Song Billong £6m
18 Silvestre £1m
20 Djourou £4m
21 Fabianski £5m
22 Clichy £8m
23 Arshavin £16m
24 Mannone £3m
27 Eboue £6m
28 Gibbs £7m
30 Traore £5m
31 Campbell £1m


Good luck and i look forward to seeing your new squads for the 2010/2011 season

Nice thread title....

I would sell Almunia and Fabianski.

I would buy Lloris.

and I would sign Ryan Shawcross or similar young CB.

......................................Lloris
Eboue/Sagna....Gallas/Shawcross.....Vermaelen........Clichy

Walcott........Fabregas......Song.............Nasri/Rosicky

.........................van Persie....Arshavin

So only a few changes. And the change to 4-4-2. I'm not sure a striker would be needed because Bendtner will be a year older and a year better and probably a very reasonable EPL striker.

in: Lloris - 21m, Afellay - 14m, Chamakh - free, Gourcuff - £19m, Dzeko - £26m, David Luiz - £12m (or any young CB)

Budget : £22million

Lloris
Sagna - Gallas - Vermaelen - Clichy
Rosicky - Song - Gourcuff - Afellay
van Persie - Dzeko

bench:
Fabianski
David Luiz
Diaby
Ramsey
Chamakh
Eboue
Nasri

Firstly I'd bring in some new nutritionists, new physios and a team counselor.

I'd sell Carlos Vela to a Spanish club because that's where his technique belongs. I'd replace him with Lukas Podolski for 12m.

Armand Traore would be moved to left midfield. Clichy would be sold to Real Madrid and I'd buy Urby Emanuelson for 6.5m and use him as my backup left back. Vermaelen would become my first choice left back. I'd also buy Servet Cetin for 10m.

I'd buy Tim Wiese for 14m. I'd sell Fabianski to whoever's stupid enough to take him. Almunia would be demoted to the understudy goalkeeper role.

With 5.5m I'm sure I could find a decent backup DM somewhere.

This would be my formation:
................Wiese
Eboue....Gallas....Cetin....Vermaelen
................Song
.....Nasri................Fabregas
Van Persie...Podolski......Rosicky

Bench: Almunia, Emanuelson, Sagna, Ramsey, Lansbury, Arshavin, Bendtner

There'd be new policies in the club too. The excessive partying would be out the door too. Players wouldn't be allowed to have sex after 5pm on the day before matchday. Anyone pictured excessively partying or drinking would fined a week's wages.

God of the boards
Think for yourself, question authority.
