Therefore we would need to get some strength in key areas
Keeper - Need experience then how about Spironi at Palace
Centre Half - Go for someone like Woodgate on a pay as you play
Centre Midfield - Bring Joe Cole in on-loan to get his career going again and also get the fans on-side and put beside him a distroyer someone like Dickson Etuhu from Fulham
Centre Forward - If Ba goes then I would bid for Long from Reading, Hooper from Celtic, Grant at Norwich or Kitson at Pompey. They all would help the players around them score.
Therefore potentially
---------------Speroni-------------

Jacobson--Woodgate--Tompkins----Brown

Edgar------Collison-----Ethuhu-------Stanislas
------------------------Cole--------------------------------
------------------------Long------------------------------

Subs: Stech, Da Costa, Fry, Moncur, Nouble, Hines, Hall
Manager: Malkay McKay or Chris Houghton both ex West Ham....
