we have to bring in an experienced CB in if we sell TV5. really wouldn't mind nabbing smalling or Jones in exchange for tv5. I'm not sure who we're targeting (though I'm sure we're targeting a young, talented CB). giminez?

I'd be surprised if we got Jones or Smalling. Man U is unlikely to make that happen.

As for young CB's, I might like Juan Jesus, or Aymeric Laporte next year if we want our CB for the next decade. I honestly don't know who else we would get though. I wouldn't mind a player like Papadopoulos, but I don't know if he is good enough on the ball. I'd really like it if Hayden worked out. We haven't had a CB come through our system in a long time.

I really would like some confirmation for Shad Forsythe, pushing Tony Colbert out. I've read that Colbert is rather arcane in his methods, and that probably contributes to our injury problems. That is the most important thing for this season. Limiting injuries. If we had Ramsey for more of the season, we certainly would have done better in certain games. Although we could have used him in all the big losses, I'm not sure he would have made that big of a difference, though Ramsey seems to partner really well with Arteta, he would have been especially helpful in all those other games we dropped during that period.
