The Fish 10667 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Ignoring Ashley's policy, who would you have from the teams in the bottom 6*? *I say 6 as I believe 10 points to be too big a margin for Noriwch to be dragged into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 16991 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Jean Beausejour of Wigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7214 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 QPR - Noone* Reading - Noone Wigan - Noone Aston Villa - Bent, Agbonlahor Southampton - Clyne, Ramirez Sunderland - Johnson, Sessegnon * Jenas - to sit in an oversized fishbowl that gets brought out pre-match and at half-time.

PaddockLad 16991 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Is he any better than Carroll?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10667 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Remy and Benteke look decent, not sure if I want the former though. Once bitten and all that. Wouldn't mind Lefondre on the cheap, but I think that's more because I've been following his career because he used to make me money when he was lower down the leagues (anytime scorer). Weimann, maybe? Ward-Prowse and Shaw from Southampton have bags of promise. and obviously Lee Cattermole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 4082 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Benteke definitely. Different type of striker from Cisse, would give us great options. Weimann, Ramirez would also worht looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausman 0 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Benteke and Weimann would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeris 0 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Sunderland - Southampton - G.Ramirez, L.Shaw Aston Villa - C.Benteke Wigan - Reading - QPR - Samba (on a lower wage) Benteke is probably the one I want the most of them, because we dearly need him.

Tooj 17 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Is he any better than Carroll?.... Quite comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 16991 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Quite comfortably. As debut premier league seasons go I'd say there wasnt much in it...Carroll had 11 goals by late January and 13 in 29 overall, Benteke has 12 with 9 games left having played 26. We'll see. Benteke's stock is rising and if a top club fancies him theyd better get him before next summer's world cup. Same with Carroll in a way...if he makes the plane to Brazil and plays well..thing is I can't see him going back to Liverpool, but I can't see anyone paying him 80k a week either...

David Kelly 1217 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Wouldn't be desperate for anyone from any of those sides tbh. Or from Norwich or Stoke for that matter. It really shows how we've underperformed for so much of this season when you can say that of the teams around and in some cases above you. I would take Benteke but I do think he's been more than a touch overrated. He's looked awful on occasion (as well as looking good at other times) and I really don't think he's owt special. Would give us options though and we are woefully short up front. Weiman would be ok on a Free. Southampton have some promising youngsters but no doubt they'd be ridiculously overpriced even if they go down (something I don't see happening at the moment).

Happy Face 29 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Weimann seemed to make a big difference when he came on against us, but they had been woeful and got a rocket up their arses for that second half when he came on fresh. Has he impressed as much in other games? 5 goals and 2 assists doesn't sound too promising....but then it is more difficult in a relegation bait side.

It's more his movement and the timing of his runs I've liked. He's only young isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 QPR - Hoilett Reading - McCleary (he can be electric - proper get to the byline and flash it across the 6 yard box winger), Kanu (if he keeps on improving the way he has in the past 2 seasons) Wigan - Kone Aston Villa - None Southampton - Clyne, Ramirez, Lallana Sunderland - Johnson, Mignolet (only if Krul left mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugely impressed with his performance in both games v us this season. Kicked Tiote up in the air a couple of times last month Pardew knows him, we've been linked before but he's not French, his surname is Spanish...and they'll want 10mill+.

Brock Manson 0 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 If we shift Tiote then it'd be well worth it imo. He'd be an upgrade on Marv (sorry Aeris, CT). Benteke. People who say he is overrated are talking shite. Another Ba in the making for us Completely forgot Benteke. He looks quality. The only reason Villa aren't bottom of the league this season.

Andrew 4713 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 QPR - Samba (only on much lower wages) Reading - McCleary and Kanu Wigan - Kone Aston Villa - Benteke Southampton - Clyne, Ramirez, Lallana, Scheniderlin, Rodriguez (bit of personal bias there but I think he could do a job) Jack Cork. I like southampton, good young squad Sunderland - Mignolet (only if Krul left mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 This Benteke, I'm sorry like he's scored a few goals but I'll tell you now there's too much fuss being made of him. A Emile Heskey like career beckons imo. I'd have Remy in a heart beat if QPR go down, I'd also have the rough diamond that is Taraabt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
