1) Clear out deadwood. Pantsil,Salcido, Kelly,Digacoi, Riise its been nice knowing you.
2) Build our youth team up a bit more...wilfred zaha?
3) Get in quality players for weak areas-Hutton for Right back, Back up for briggs at left back, a quality replacment for muprhs and a decent back up striker.
Have a ball and enjoy yourself guys! :beer:
Getting a new manager.

Yes! That would be the first thing to do in my book.

Stay where he is then
I think we'll get two new full-backs, both coming straight in to the first team, and a striker, probably back-up. And if the oppurtunity for another quality addition presents itself then it will probably be taken considering we will get roughly £20million for players.

Haha, you got that right, if Blackpool qualify for Europe, why he would leave them for Fulham?
Think Charlie Adam will be out of our reach. David Vaughan on the other hand is a handy players with a decent left foot and he's leaving Blackpool on a free after deciding not to renew his contract. Welsh as well so you could see Hughes going for him.
Charlie Adam - fantastic with a set piece, but I really don't think he suits our style, or even a lot of the top clubs'. If you look at his Chalkboards after most games his passes are diagonal, long, Hollywood balls. He's Blackpool's key man because their fast paced, direct game requires the wings to be opened up with these passes. We, though are more direct under Hughes, still build up a lot through the middle and I feel Adam by nature would give it away too much for us...
Does that make any sense?
Get Stockers as no 1. I dunno, I get the feeling Schwarzer is past his best. Don't get me wrong, he has been very good for us. But watching him today, he looked a little stiff & slow to react, showing his age. I'm sure Stockdale would have been much quicker around goal.

I thought Schwarzer was back to his best today, after a very poor showing against Liverpool. I've not seen a 38-year-old get down quite so quickly as the header in the first half today. That was in all the way.
That said, Stockdale needs game time, he is the future and we can't lose him or we have no-one else.
encourage briggs to let his hair grow out... :001:

Agree on both counts.
Schwartz looked sharp today.
But he needs to expect that Stockdale will be getting more opportunities.
Transition time.
Looked sharp with the saves, but his clearances in the first half especially were dreadful. Twice he side-footed kicks no more than 20 yards, straight back to Arsenal, and they were back on the attack.
The arsenal fan sat next to me in the putney end kept saying he could see why they wanted Schwarzer last year, he was well impressed. I was just glad he was back on form after the Liverpool debunkle!!

4 signings:
1 Striker
1 Pacy Winger
1 Right Back
1 Centre mid to learn from Murphy
If we sign those, get rid of some deadwood and keep our own players, we will be sorted
We need to replace Murphy at some point.
Would like to see another Yank brought in of course! (Tim Chandler)
Surely cover for/replacing Danny Murphy is the priority - but I have no idea who. He is so key to everything good in Fulham's style of play
we've needed a younger Murphy type for years, running out of time to bed one in whilst he's still around.
Couple of full backs and a striker. Would have said a winger aswell but Greening will probably make Hughes think twice about that now
O'Hara.
A Murphy replacement, absolute first priority.
Since January he's only played for the full 90 minutes 4 times.

So overrated, decent shot but no better than Sidwell!

Not as good as Sidders or Murph, but still a good player.
