#1 summer transfer target: tbh.

What about Ricardo Vaz Te from Bolton??? From what I’ve see this season, he looks to be a cracking player… pacy, good skill on the ball, bags of potential. A Portuguese Lua-Lua Would be perfect as a 3rd-choise striker IMO.

tbh.

No problemo

Here you go!

BOOOOOYYAAAAH!

Too much? Doubt they'll sell for anything less... unless there is a clause or some agreement in their contract 131916[/snapback] Boatengs out of contract in the summer.. 131921[/snapback] Ahhh, allright...

You have just cut and pasted your Champ Man shortlist... 131901[/snapback] Anyone else notice these? 131904[/snapback] Never mind that, half a million for Martin Brittain? 131906[/snapback] Yeah, we actually got £1,7m for Viana (nufc.com reports). Doesn't think £6m for Luque and £14m for Owen is urealistic... Just found out that Brittian is out of contract this summer...

You have just cut and pasted your Champ Man shortlist... 131901[/snapback] I knew that would come...

I see your point Leazes, but for me a midfield of Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard and Downing simply doesn't offer the defence enough protection against world-class sides. The only positive I can take out of the Rooney situation is that we might see a player like Carrick or Ledley King (if fit) employed in the holding role. This would free up Lampard and Gerrard to play to their full potential. 131819[/snapback] I think you're right Doc Sure it's a major blow that Rooney is out, but it could turn out to be a blessing in disguise... IMO Gerrard would be excellent in the Rooney-position just behind Owen. With Carrick and Lampard in the centre mid, Cole on the left and Beckham on the right, the midfield would be strong and have a very good balance.

Don't get me wrong, he's a good player and still has the potential to be great, but the amount of times a winger is screaming at him for a pass then he goes and blatters one over or wide of the mark it beggars belief! But he's one hell of a tackler. 131857[/snapback] Him and Scotty Parker would be dy-na-mi-teee!!!

You're the expert... But he was voted second best player in the championship (after Jagielka) by the other players in the April-edition of "FourFourTwo"... He must do something right
