Newly Promoted Southampton Squad. 2012/13

[TeejayBowie]

It's looking like I'm gonna get promoted as it stands, although in a TERRIBLE run of form.

My starting 11 would be, in a 4-2-3-1 most likely...

Kelvin Davis

Danny Butterfield - Craig Dawson - Jose Fonte - Danny Fox

Marco Verratti (very poor for me) - Morgan Schneiderlin (or Jack Cork when he is fit)

Jason Puncheon - (?), have nobody for AMC at the moment, maybe Jack Cork! - Sold Lallana stupidly, will leave at the end of this season.

Darwin Quintero/Billy Sharp.

I'm gonna need a new GK, DR, DC(backup), AML, AMC(probably backup), AMR(probably).

Not 100% on transfer budget but I'm guessing £10M+ after selling off the **** players.

Must be top half of premiership standard!

Cheers lads

Just been promoted myself with Crystal Palace but needed to overhaul virtually the whole team - I've brought in:

Marco Verratti £2.2m
Loic Nestor £3.3m
Stijn Wuytens free
Gaston Fernandez free
Tamas Kadar (back up) £210k
Jack Butland (back up) £450k
Gebre Selassie (back up) £1.1m
Fernanda Belluschi £1.5m
Steve Sidwell (loan) £450k
Alessandro Gazzi £1.5m

I got all of those for £10.5 mill and all are on relatively low wages (£20k or less)

 

[TeejayBowie]

Nice man will give them a look! How did you land Jack Butland for £450k?

 

[anthonydunn87]

I was looking through transfer list and found him on there so had to snap him up for that amount, just moved my back up keeper on.

 

[TeejayBowie]

Fair play, I was looking at him and he woulda been a few million!

 

[osborn]

just moved my back up keeper on.

 

[TeejayBowie]

In dire need of some new defenders who are gonna be good at PL level, any recommendations?

 

[anthonydunn87]

Try Loic Nestor or Steven Caulker of you can get him on loan or on the cheap.

 

[TeejayBowie]

Loic Nestor looks okay man, is he good a EPL level though? Steven Caulker is way too expensive atm :/

 

[kelv11]

Johan Martial
Milan Badelj
Sime Vrsaljko
Siphiwe Tshabalala
Gylfi Sigurdsson
Alex Smithies

 

[anthonydunn87]

Loic Nestor has been amazing for my Palace team in the prem, which teams got relegated?

 

[TeejayBowie]

Wigan, Wolves and Blackburn man! Gonna try and snag a few players off them now.

 

[TeejayBowie]

Wigan, Wolves and Swansea**** sorry

 

[anthonydunn87]

Try get Joe Allen if you can he is a great player.
