Deano 0 Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 I know the guy is in his late 20's but if West Brom go down I'd take Odemwingie for a season or 2, would still need someone powerful to play up top with him though. Hooper would be a good shout too, seems to be in good form in the mickey mouse league. No fucking thanks. While we're talking West Brom, what about Chris Brunt? I reckon there's a few of the Championship teams we could go sniffing round, sure there's players who could be cherry picked at a reasonable price. Now Brunt and Dorrans would be worth a go.

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Striker is the toughest position to buy for: English players are overpriced and generally shit; Johnny Foreigner can come in with excellent technical skills and then not be able to cope with the physicality of the league; there's African strikers who are very athletic and big, but cannot shoot; it's a bit of a crapshoot. We have a strong team now, so I think a decent quality striker could get 25 goals in all competitions with us, if they stayed fit over a season. I don't fancy buying from the championship, fuck that. We want a proper finisher who can mix it up with the big boys. Someone like Carlton Cole would be ideal. is this some sort of sick joke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby 0 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 How many players, in what positions and who would you like us to be in for come the summer? Realistically? Adel Taarabt 5mil and Erin Derdiyok 10mil would be my main targets and then look about europe or further afield for cover at LB, RB and another ST. Great player, but shocking attitude. Don't think we can afford to have a luxury player like that just yet. I'd prefer to go for Kadlec, Albrighton and Derdiyok (a goal every 1 1/2 games in the Bundesliga is decent) Albrighton is too lightweight and doesn't have enough quality, would be bench at best But cover is what we need no? I think he has good potential. I think we only need one player, possibly two, to go straight into the 1st team...others would be quality cover. We need players that are better than what we already have, not worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy someone better than him, and play them. He's not better than Barton or Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People slate Jonas for his final ball but he brings so much more to the team. Obviously if we get the chance of a top quality winger then that changes but there isnt alot out there better than what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlythSpartan 0 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Just read Daniel Sturridge is available for £10m, well worth the gamble imo. Agreed. Loads of potential there. I'd be surprised if it was true though! I still believe that Ranger is worth the time he needs in the 1st team. You can guarantee if he leaves he'll do well!

Billy Castell 0 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Jason Roberts, Keith Andrews, Jason Brown and Vince Grella . But to be serious, that giant African striker that plays for FC Cluj, Janko tha Austrian in Holland, Delfonso, Snodgrass and Whittingham would be good targets.

OTF 7788 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I know papers make up shit, but if the figures are anywhere near accurate then it's actually a proper sign that they're keen to keep hold of Tiote. Otherwise they'd sell him in the summer and not have wasted any money on giving additional wages to a player already on contract until 2015. Accounting wise that sort of bullshit maths I wouldn't put past Ashley and co. As others have pointed out if it's accurate you'd have to remove Carroll's wages and deduct Tiote's previous wage which would effectively cancel out the increase. Otherwise they would have to spend 35m plus the 7m+ that would have been paid to Carroll until 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
