A question for you GENIUSES...

[Paul Marin]

I realise by stipulating "genius" I am automatically whittling the number who can respond down to me and Peter R., (well, we certainly can eliminate Jangle and Gamma) but still unu can come. Okay, serious now...so here is the question: "If you had £80m to spend on players for YOUR favourite club, and you could buy ANYONE from ANYWHERE, who would you buy and how much would you pay for them?" If you want to pay £2m for 40 players that's cool, but try limiting the acquisitions to a reasonable number and consider who you have in your squad now. Of course, we are assuming whoever you would buy would come to your club, so if you want to say "Rooney to Liverpool" that's okay, even though it would never happen in real life.

Well I see the word Genius and Jangle in one sentence so I feel compelled to respond, since you are seeking some intellectual answers. I would buy Ronaldo and Messi............wait.......erm......how much money me have again....?

You have £80m *bright spark* LOL!!! And so you run out of money after the first one as you don't have enough for both.

[Jangle]

Me will sell suck-suck fi mek up the money.

Eedy boo...no sell to buy - you just have £80m fi spend, so who would you buy? Ronaldo (£88m) and Messi (£105m) market values make them untouchable.

[Jangle]

W'ppen if me convert my money to Italian Lira, then me can buy the two a dem.

[Lazie]

Ronaldo alone would be 80 million. Damn.

Silva from PSG, Valero from Florentina** and Ronaldo.

Would offload, Rio and Jones as defenders, Anderson, Fletcher, Giggs and Young from the midfield.

Your genius knows no bounds. Me ago call you Einstein...more like Janglestein.

You can't get Ronaldo...he is worth £88m. Silva and Valero would be around £35m and £10m so you still have £35m to spend.

Wait - is so much house cleaning you woulda do? Damn. Things rough. And if you dump all of them, the two players you would buy can't make up the short fall.

Wait, how you get 88 million fi Ronaldo? Okay. With 35 million, I'd go after Edson Cavani.

Remember, Vidic is to return. Him and Silva would play CD. We a get rid of 3 midfielder and a retiree remember the Japanese is still to return.

Ronaldo's transfer market price is listed at £88m on soccerassociation.com, but who gwine pay that? Same with Messi at £105m. The teams who can afford that (except PSG) aren't spending that kind of money anymore (Chelski, Mansh!tty, RM). Either way, you can't buy both of them for £80m and you can't buy one of them for £80m...so they are off the table.

Your buys: Cavani, Valero, T. Silva. Very good. You are showing that you have more sense than the next eejit Manc deh bout.

[Jangle]

me naw help yuh build yuh fantsy league team......ole ginnal.

[Paul Marin]

hmmm....

Yes, but you have no midfield back ups. Based on what you said, you are down to Carrick, Valero, Valencia and Cleverley in midfield. You sold virtually everyone else until the chiney man come back. And you now have Cavani alongside Rooney, RVP, Wellbeck and Chigatoe...I would think you need to dump a forward if you are going to buy Cavani. I notice too that you didn't buy any PROVEN EPL players. Interesting. Still, I am more interested in who you would buy, not sell.
