Jus a bit of fun.......

Now the World Cup is over, imagine you're a billionaire owner of a premiership team.

You've just seen arguably the best teams and managers in the world.

There are no financial fair play restrictions, you can buy who you want.

Pick your manager.

Pick your formation.

Pick your first 11.

Pick your 5 subs.

If and when the thread fills up or runs out of steam, I'll sort out the most picked manager, formation, first 11 and 5 subs.

Let's see what sort of a team you can build.......

Go!!!!!

Somewhere In The Ether…

I want Joachim Low as manager for sure:

Nose picking, bogey rolling, bollock scratching and subsequent finger sniffing(!) - The man is pure class!

(And he looks uncannily like a young Jorge Rivero to boot, which is kind of awesome in itself)

What’s not to love?

I was going to say; just get in an unknown French manager, sell all the decent players and get in a bunch of Championship players on Premier League wages, move the club to the most gullible Chinese owner who'll take it and watch it sail off into oblivion for a laugh...but Randy Lerner beat me to it.

Olivier Giroud would be in there somewhere and we would have naked Tuesday training.

"Olivier Giroud would be in there somewhere and we would have naked Tuesday training."

What would this training entail exactly?

Assisted sit ups. Press ups. Star jumps. Maybe some tai chi.

There and to the left a bit

It may be blindingly obvious where I'm going/coming from with this but...

Manager: Mauricio Pochettino

Team:

Lloris

Trippier

Davies

Alderweireld

Vertonghen

Eriksen

Dembele

De Bruyne

Hazard

Bale

Kane

Subs: Son Heung Min, Mbappe, Modric, Pickford, Maguire

I'm going for the basis of a team that has played together and doesn't need much to turn it into a world class team - rather than trying to slot together a team of individual superstars

Probably more a 4 1 3 2 with Dembele playing between defence and midfield and Hazard/Bale swapping in and out of the striking role fluidly

You have a spreadsheet?!!! A man that's as sad as me!!

4-4-2 would probably fit best then - with the midfield 4 being a diamond

I think a spreadsheet will work well for this exercise.

I'm drawing the line at a PowerPoint presentation though....

I think if those three get signed in the premiership your team will only have 3 players......
