Can't beat German engineering, efficient workhorses. Can't remember us having a German flop in our history. Rosler, Tarnat, Trautmann.

Get Hummels and Gotze

Sell Kolo and Johnson

Job done. Achtung baby.

I don't think Gotze will leave for a couple of years.

But Hummels, it's a weird one. I haven't seen him being linked with ANYONE, not one rumour. And I know that normally means that he's settled and doesn't want to leave but I haven't seen him state that anywhere either, and normally with all big players you'll be able to find a piece somewhere where they've said they want to stay at a club for however long and so on.

Hummels is the better half of their CB pairing, which I think is arguably the best partnership in Europe at the moment. He's the brains in the partnership, and he's exceptional in all parts of defending. He spots danger in an instant. What he tends to do is step forward, intercept, take a touch and then play a cross-field pass to the wings. His passing is something a lot of people are impressed by.

Physically he's perfect for a CB, 6 ft 4 with a big leap, very strong. He has all the attributes a world class defender needs and he's only 22!

An added bonus is that he's got a mean penalty kick too :P

Frontzeck?! Generally, Germans do tend to be suited to the Premier league though.
 
That dodgy ancient keeper that Ball signed. So bad I can't remember his name but allegedly he had a load of caps for Germany !!

He can play on the right wing too.

So can Nasri and Silva.

Neither is very good on the wing. Here is the thing with Gotze, he's better than Silva was at 19 and at 19 is arguably already as good if not better than Nasri is now. Imagine what he could be like at 21, 23, 25. Unless of some unexpected problem in his career he's going to be one of the world's best which is why he's worth a heavy investment even now. If anyone could pry him away from Dortmund they could have him for 10+ years.

If you gave me a straight choice between Gotze and Hazard, I'd definitely choose Gotze.

How very dare you, Didi could draw a foul better than Rolf Harris

I'm sure the home FA Cup game against Forest was under Hughes? 3-0 I think?

yep, Hughes. 08/09, Bridge was brought out to see the fans at half-time if I remember correctly.
