Hopefully something along the lines of this: Given - Keep going Bonny Lad

Griffin - Finally nails his place in the side

Hughes - Continues improvement

A N Other - A commanding centre back who wants to play for us, whatever nationality he is as long as he is committed i.e. another Albert would do me!

Quinn - Hopefully after a good finish to the season 00/01 this lad will cement his place in the side and realise the potential

Dyer - Right wing slot for you mate, yours for the season

Acuna - Holding role for you.

Bassedas - Midfield playmaker for you

A N Other - A big strong left winger is what we need

Shearer - Finally shakes off the injury after playing the final games of the 00/01 season on crutches scoring three goals (all penalties!) Cort - Blazing finish to the season which saw NUFC clinch a European spot at the expense of local rivals Sunderland.

I'll go for

Harper, griffin, S Caldwell, Hughes, (a new left back like Roberto Carlos) Acuna, Dyer, Speed (a new left winger such as ????? )Shearer, Bridges upfront.

Bassedas will have gone back to Argentina after his passport problem . Solano will be in Spain after a £6 million deal (marthelino thrown in free) and Dabizas and Cort will be injured again after coming back too soon this season. Matt Jansen will be on the bench with Ameobi, Lee, G Caldwell and our new young finish keeper, Jussi Pantiliner. Given having been sold to newly promoted Fulham.

given in goal - harper will be transferred to a belgian team for 1 mil griffin at rb - barton will be presenting a kids day-time tv show. wholesale changes at lb and cb

dyer & solano in midfield alongside 2 new signings - speed will be transferred to cardiff city (hopefully) and lee will be turning out alongside chris waddle and boutros boutros for tow law town.

up front cort and ameobi will share the work alongside a mystery new signing from eastern europe.

shearer will retire cos of injury while gallagher will return to tannadice to see out his career along side cannigia.

now look at me and tell me i'm lying!

RAOTFLMAO Class that mind ciara, if only it wasn't true. I'd replace Barton with "Never going to reach his potential"

"Never going to reach his potential"

He's been soldm for a stick of chewing gum and a pack of Mentos and will come back to score a hat-trick against us in both league ties, and in both cups(knocking us out, naturally)
