tinofbeans 91 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I'v a beleif that we need to strengthen the midfield and left side of our defence. what is everyone elses opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Onion 0 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Left-back, two creative midfielders with pace, two strikers (Owen & Viduka probably gone, likewise Xisco, Martins possibly). Plus all other outgoings replaced (actually we could probably lose a couple of our midfield plodders and scarce notice the difference, but you get my drift). Absolute minimum. We'll not get that while Ashley's here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31587 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 £20m isn't even close to what we need to get a semi-decent side together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 91 Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 thats true, but i doubt he'd splash even that much cash. fact of the matter is to get a side that can compete with the evertons and villa's of this world you'd probably have to spend £50m with what we have....

soupdragon 0 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Try to get Youssef El-Akchoui from NEC Nijmegen on the cheap,he wants to take a step up to a bigger club and Feyenoord can't afford him.A decent left-back,useful in going forward,28 years old and probably going for under 4mil.

Big Onion 0 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 We'd need a lot less to progress if Keegan had been given £25mil net last summer and Ashley had told Wise to stick to signing kids. Stupid fat cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4966 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 a left back but I'd be alright with sticking with the youth policy on that one as cover as I tihnk enrique is getting better and better midfield is our biggest priority, the strikers we have will get goals if they are given service but whether we'll have them next season is another matter but I feel a winger who with some pace and a CM with some craft and vision are absolute essentials as well as replacing any players heading out I honestly don't know what to expect though without the "upper management" of wise etc around I can't see ashley being able to push Shearer around but JFK would be another matter all together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloopJohn 0 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 taiwo (8 million) - probably the best left back available to a club at our level emana (5 million) - extremely dynamic cameroonian midfielder at Betis - saw him a few times against the big Spanish clubs and he was awesome jean II makoun (7 million) - rock solid dmc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverer 0 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 You seriously think we could get Taiwo? If he would leave Marseille i think he would go to an top 4 club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7312 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 A kid would do at left back, now that Duff has shown he can play there. If anything id be after a LW to replace Duff and a CM with a bit of invention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a cheap covering LB for Enrique would do, and the priority for everyone on here i'm sureis some mifielders with creativity and hopefully a bit of pace. Then strikers depending on who stays and goes of our exisiting options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) Who would we buy in the championship then? Beckford is still worth a shout like The thing that really worries me is if we end up buying players in the Championship, like we've pretty much bought Championship players (albeit very expensive ones) in the Premiership under Ashley. Almost no one we've brought in has been better than what we had, or sold, and worse they've not being signings designed to build the team and squad. Although if someone is actually given a budget and is allowed to build a functional squad and a team, we still might be better off. For example does Milner look like a good deal now? Even for all that cash? Even if someone had been allowed to spend that cash? Mismanagement on the scale we've seen can and will utterly destroy a club - and that need not stop with it dropping out of the Premiership.
