Sell:
Illunga
Upson
Cole
Behrami
Faubert

Illunga is playing crap, Upson doesn't seem to have much of an influence on the players and might get some money, Cole likewise and isn't scoring, Behrami wants to go... Faubert doesn't even make the team these days.

Buy:
1 LB (we have Brown as backup)
2 x CB's (Da Costa / Gabiddon as back-up)
2 x Creative Midfielders
2 x Goal scorers

We need 2 of each as one is bound to get injured as soon as they join.. and then we're back to square one

I'm confident they know who we need, unfortunately those who we need aren't morons and won't want to join a relegation threatened club.

Glenny boy. Another one of our 'Claret and Blue' boys who's actually a West Londoner at heart. To be fair, I only heard this from Lenny Pidgeley, and his mental father.

the papers have been suggesting spuds are interested in either Upson or cole, in the first instance i would request Keane in exchange both values of players are now questionable due to form and appearences, little upheavall for both could work, from our side couldnt be any worse, if they wanted both, keane, kabul and Bentley.
I would then look to a player like wheater of boro and give him a go, no nonsense head on ball defending would be nice until end of season.

Give them whoever it takes to get Kranjcar. Upson for Niko would be a good trade.
