      If it were me, I’d certainly try for Dawson, Shorey, and McGeady. Not sure about Collocini. Struggled in the Premiership at Newcastle.

      I’d like us to test the water regarding David Wheater, especially as Southgate has gone. And also Adam Johnson.

      I’d like us to possibly get another loan player in, someone like Carlos Vela from Arsenal. A young, lively, talent.

      And how’s about this for a controversial suggestion?……..

      Kevin Davies. Yes, I think he’d be the ideal centre-forward for Roberto’s style. Wouldn’t mind Kevin Nolan in midfield, either.

      Some people will flatly ‘balk’ at the thought. That’s understandable. But Davies plays that role superb, and he gets goals.

      P.S. What the hell is Kasper Schmeichel doing messing about at Notts County? We should of had him.

      I thought about Wheater and Vela, I think Boro will hold out for something like 9m for Wheater, Arsenal and Man City have been linked and Vela will probably be at the stage of breaking through next season and Elephant man seems pretty confident over Adam Johnson which more or less rules us out. Davies yes, Would it happen, probably not,He seems like a loyal player to me but i wouldnt mind a season or 2 with him in the squad, Offers so much more than Heskey.

        The media have built Kirkland up to be this sleeping England giant in the waiting, Someone like Burnley or maybe Sunderland would shell out 3m no hesitation.

        Okay off the top of my head with 30m i will have a go. I don’t scout players for months on end obviously because im not a football manager, However i consider myself to have a lot of knowledge when it comes to football and i think i could build up a half decent squad with 30m so here we go.

        Goalkeeper – Carlos Kameni – Espanyol – Available for free in the summer i believe so get in there for him now, Very good at shot stopping and very athletic.

        Goalkeeper No.2 – Alex Smithies – Huddersfield – around 500k/1m probably – 19 years old and has burst onto the scene in the last couple of seasons, Seen a lot of him and every time i do im impressed. Commands his area and Defenders superbly for a young lad.

        Left Back – Would like to say Gareth Bale but will be too pricey so…
        Nicky Shorey – Aston Villa – around 2m – Out of favour and an England international, Must admit i wasn’t too keen in Reading’s first season but won me over.

        Right Back – Alan Hutton – Tottenham 3/4m – Signed from Rangers a couple of seasons back for 9m, Isn’t going to get in for Corluka and they would most likely sell. Excellent at both going forward and supporting the Defence.

        Centre Back – First one i would have a go for would be Michael Dawson – Tottenham – 4/5m. Good experience for a 26 year old lad, Been in and out of the side for a couple of seasons and needs regular football week in week out.

        Centre Back – Fabricio Coloccini – Newcastle – 5m, Vast experience in Europe and International foorball, Musty be itching to get back in the big league and i dont think Mike Ashley would turn down 5m.

        Right Winger – Aiden McGeady – Celtic – 6m – Hightly rated and highly skillful and quick. Has the attributes to take the Premiership by the scruff of the neck and is desperate to play in the big league with murmours of a rift at Celtic and their debt it could be a can go situation.

        Attacking Midfielder/Striker – The Problem Position, We arent really sure whether Martinez wants a striker or a very attacking midfielder so i will add my own interpretation.
        Bojan – Barcelona – Loan, Apparently was near to joining Blackburn on a season long loan so maybe available…….. If not
        Giovanni Dos Santos – Tottenham – 3/4m, Signed as one of the most promising players in the world then somehow ended up self destructing and going out for a succesful loan at Ipswich. Exciting young player and probably one of the best bargains around.

        Thats around 25m and a team that looks a hell of a lot better on paper than our current one. It would go

        ………………………………..Kameni………………………………

        Hutton…………….Dawson……………Colocinni………….Shorey

        ……………………….Thomas………..Diame……………………….

        …………McGeady…………………………………….N’Zogbia……..

        ……………………….Dos Santos……………………………………..

        …………………………………….Rodallega…………………………..

        A very achievable team and a much better one than we have now. It’s not bad for starters. Then build and build and build on it again over time.
        …………………………….

        Interesting, but first question: where’s this £30 million coming from?

        Alan Hutton and Aiden McGeady? Hutton left Rangers because Spurs were doubling his salary – after long protracted negotiations, and even then he was told by Rangers that he was going whether he liked it or not. He would angle for a move to a bigger club than us, back to Rangers (though there is no way they can afford him at present), or worst case, Birmingham. McGeady is possibly the biggest talent in Scottish football – we have absolutely no chance of getting him. A lot of clubs are interested in him.

        As for your valuation of Kirkland, it is way too high. He plays constantly on a knife’s edge. I’ll not harp on about how and why I know, but there is one big Scottish club and two Premiership clubs I know of where their opinion of him is that he’s a very good keeper on his day, but he is far too much of a risk to shell out on a transfer fee plus a substantial salary.[/quote]

        Huton’s circumstances have changed now though, I don’t think he would get a bigger club and i don’t think McGeady would care which Premiership club he moved to. He is always in and out of the squad with his Scharner style attitude and i would take the gamble, People have been talking about him for a few years but he is still up there so maybe now is the time to move.

        I think Whelan needs to speculate to accumulate, It’s about time and after all he has promised many millions on transfer funds which no manager has ever recieved. If we are just going to mess about trying to finish 17th every season then we might as well just do what West Brom do. That would kill it for me. I don’t really want Whelan to go but we need fresh ideas from somewhere.

          I wouldn’t get too carried away with McGeady now, yes he has the ability to get forward and beat players with easy.. but he has a big problem in delivering that final ball into the box.. lost count of the amount of times he did it for the republic only to screw up at the end…. but then again with the right training..

          I applaud your attempts to highlight players who might come, but I would expect Martinez to unearth players from Spain or south america.

          Hutton is awful and we cant afford his spurs wages, Dawson would never drop to Wigans level. McGeady is up his own ars* and I wouldnt leave Celtic for Wigan.

          The problem isnt as much the atticking midfielder/striker, its the last of depth in midfield and the back four we should be concerned about.

          My prediction, Figgy wont leave, we will sign a new defender a striker and another holding midfielder in January, with one or two fringe players going. We will sign one from spain and two from south america.

            “Melchiot – Out – 500k or Free – Past it and offers nothing defensively” ……………

            What?

            We are Wigan. Not Man Utd. Some people are in dreamland.

              What, What is that supposed to mean. You have to play for Man Utd do be able to defend and go forward?, Oh thanks for letting me know, if thats all you have to do im going signing for Barcelona then because i can do it. Are you telling me Melchiot’s job as a right back is to just stand there and wait until someone comes near him. Make some frigging sense man
