But i always knew the real test would be Man Utd but they seemed easier than i expected we were by far the dominant side and easily out played United, our counter attacking style just opened up huge gaps in Jose Mourinhos team as we celebrated the treble

Goalkeepers

Maarten Stekelenburg - Well the current number one keeper easy Dutch number one with over 100 caps entering his 10th season as number one keeper for us, and i can only see him continuing that for another season or two before a replacement is needed.

Franco Caporilli - played the season in Ligue 2 making 33 appearances in France and has impressed my scout pulled him out when i was in Germany and ill be keeping an eye on him this season.

Alessandro Arduini - easily the 4th choice stopper, could quite possibly sold on this window i dont think he has a future at the club if im honest

Carlo Pinsoglio - Seems to be pushing hard for that number one spot has the jersey but hasn't played regularly enough may give him a few starts to see how he gets on there's alot of talent in between the sticks and he will get a chance to get past Maarten

Defenders

Simon Matip - Signed from Wolves for £12m before i joined at 21 is young and good is one of the most highly rated right backs in the world and will be a first choice for me

Alexis Pua - again signed by the previous regime this summer at £11.5m alot has been spent on the squad and he will be my first choice left back

Bob Hickson - a solid squad defender has completed one season in Italy already making 30 appearances and achieving a rating of 6.97 and will be a good solid defender for the squad

Evandro - His 5th year in Italy is a good solid centre back and will be one of my main center half's this season and i feel he can continue to do the job

Andre - First choice centre back will possibly be my captain hes my main centre back this year he will be integral to our tactics and us trying to reclaim the trophy the last regime captured.

Luca Caldirola - Till this season was one of the main back 4 and has three Serie A Titles under his belt, he still has a major part to play this season however will not be my main back 4

Paul Papp - Was a major part of the team however i feel he is past it and he wont be in the squad for much longer anymore as far as im concerned

Loic Nego - The right-back is again another player who was a main man in the squad but is now little more than a squad player dont know if he will be around the squad for a great deal longer.

Michele Spinelli - Hes always been a bit-part player and he will continue to just be a bit-part player he bulks up the squad and keeps the home-grown numbers up

Jerry Akaminko - Hes an aging full-back and utility man will add depth but could be part of a large cull in the not to distant future, he is a solid enough player and ill has something to offer,

Samuel Souprayen - Again another aging utility man, will have plenty to offer the squad but another player on the list to possibly cull

Midfielders

Panagiotis Georgeas - Easily my first choice defensive midfielder by quite some way will be integral to the tactics i intend to deploy

Andrea Bertolacci - will play in the centre of midfield for us away at bigger sides hes a good defensive midfielder or centre midfielder and ill have plenty of uses for him this season

Rasmus Schuller - one of the weaker members of the suad has alot of use training the younger kids but the Finn wont get much playing time this season.

Pedro Borges - i tried to sign the kid in a few summers ago, i feel he has potential to be great and ill be making use of his talents this season

Lorenzo Tassi - could be a main player for us this season first task is to re-train him to play centre midfield as i dont think a AMC will be much use.

Bamba Korika - The malian centre midfielder is being chased by the best clubs in europe has a transfer fee set at £45m and if i get the offer hes gone

Oscar - the versatile midfielder can play anywhere in front of the back line and behind the forward line he will be a good squad player

Remi Johansen - The norweigen winder has probabl played his last game for the club and will be moved on very soon

Carazinho - same for the brazilian left winger however his ability means im expecting a large transfer fee for him.

Juan Dominguez - Same again for the aging spaniard

Forwards

Francesco Grandolfo - Rated as the third best striker in the squad and grabbed 15 goals last season hopefully i can continue the form and score plenty of goals for us

Baudry Pizollela - scored 10 goals from midfield last season but i think ill be pushing him up front this season as ill be using his pace

Robson - tried to sign him when i was shakhtar, pleased to finally work with him as i feel hes a perfect target ma with his heading and first touch

Ribeiro - seem to struggle to get into the team in the past few years will push for a place no doubt

Khouma Babacar - all im saying about him is wanted by Empoli, will more than likely be joining them

Overallthe squad has sufficient quality to go far but i need to thin out the aging players and bulk up the striking options;
