My Schalke team....

Dr. Bob Kelso

Welcome back...
Ok so I thought to myself I needed a bit of a challenge and I wanted to go a side with obvious room for improvement and a side I could mould. I decided on Schalke 04.

My dilemna is this. I am trying to only sign players who I believe COULD one day end up at Schalke or have reason to leave their clubs. Preferably German but if not just the best available.

I have so far signed:

Lahm (ok he will prob stay at Bayern but him sharing his game time is enough for him to be a reasonable target for me)

Klose (German top scorer and I wanted to make a statement to the rest of the Super league, future currently in doubt and not getting any younger so I offered him the pay day of his dreams :p)

Wilhelmsson (No offence but not exactly at a big club and impressed enough to warrant a big money move.)

Now my side looks like this.

Rost (best keeper in Europe at the moment having conceded only 2 goals in half a season)

Krstajic
Bordon
Dario Rodriguez
Rafinha (most promising youngster)

Poulsen (links defence and attack)

Lovenkrands (speedy option for the left)
Lincoln/ Hamit Altintop (both share playing time but can see Lincoln gone at the end of the season)
Asamoah/ Wilhelmsson (obviously wilhelmsson now first choice)

Sand/Kuranyi
Klose/ ?

And that would be where the problem comes in. I don't know who should partner Klose. At the moment the two above will do the job but Ideally I am looking for a young promising striker to come in and make the spot his own.

Any ideas ? Remember has to be realisticish (not a word)

Why not just play Asamoah up front and then Kobiashvili in the midfield?

Because Kobiashvili is too slow and Asamoah is no more than a utility man. I'm playing against the top two sides from the top leagues across Europe so I need a bit more than Asamoah upfront.

There will be a clear out next season and more faces will be seen but for now Asamoah, Ernst, Pander, Sand and whoever else are considered squad players.

I tried throwing half my budget at Houllier for Fred but he wont budge. That is the kind of player I am after though. Preferably below 25 with a bright future scoring goals.

Erm...I not know if you'd call it a realistic one but Podolski - or Kuyt?

Podolski just signed for Bayern but again that would be the kind of player I am after. Kuyt is sort of a last option and has everyone in Europe after his services.

Tempted to go after Tavano now as I am running out of options.

Or the Nigerian Utaka - he's 23, Fast, takes FKs and has good technique

Exactly what I was after. Just done a little bit of scouting and although it's not much to go off after watching a video comp of him he looks strong, fast, has great balance and seems to have a scorers instinct about him. Reminds me of Cisse only looks like he knows where he is going.

well lovenkrands certainly is someone they would sign, seeing as they have signed him, why not try someone like defoe, young, and would definatly move.
