Northern Monkey Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Pace players I reckon. A real injection mainly in midfield. Arshavin Deco Bentley Barnes Dunne Nani(loan) Are all possible Possible based on what? On us being a solidly medium-sized club? On us being in the bottom half of the table? On us having no recent history of success? Yeah, players like Bentley and Nani are going to be fucking BEGGING to come here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Catch-22 again NM. If we're as unattractive as you say, how will we possibly attract the players you won't think are shit? Can't have it both ways. Not saying I agree with Deep btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Lol Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Who's that young lad who plays left wing for Sevilla ? Looks a cracking player from from i've seen, long blonde hair, looks a bit like Nedved. Diego Capel is very high on Ramos' wishlist for the summer. Can't say whether Spurs are high on DC's hopes for the summer though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a case of building over a few seasons, the very best players are only interested in CL, first step Uefa then CL and building all the time.

Kaizero Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Us getting Nani on loan is as realistic as me winning the lottery without participating, meaning ridiculously high, naturally. Personally I'd like seeing us get in Arshavin, Barnes, Skjelbred, Dunne and Pandev, we need to get in defenders as well obviously, but I cba to think of anyone good enough that would be realistic for us to get in defense.

toptoon Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Emre and Barton have the rest of this season to show us they deserve a place in our team next season alongside Faye in CM. Starting from the back, Faye wants to play DM so we need a top CB to partner Taylor. We need to get rid of Car, Smith, Viduka and possibly Cacapa too ASAP Definately keep: Goalkeepers, Beye, Geremi, Taylor, Enrique, Edgar, Faye, Zoggy, Milner, Martins The rest are expendable if they don't improve alot, as long as we can get better replacements. Even so i don't expect there will be wholesale changes. But we need two CB's (one top draw experienced pro) and a top 'big man' type striker at the very least. Berbatov would be great if not Ashton, K. Jones or to a lesser extent Crouch. We should maybe use some players as makeweights i.e. Keane may want Duff and Smith (optomistically Car& or Viduka) + cash for K. Jones. If Zoggy wants off to Spurs then we should try to get Lennon or even better Berbatov. Owen may still be attractive to many i.e. Citeh. If we can get get a top player in exchange or the cash to buy one then that would be great. Bare minimum changes next season: Given/ Harper/ Krul Beye/Geremi Taylor/Edgar New CB/New CB Enrique/Edgar Milner/? Faye/Geremi Barton/Emre/Lua Lua Zoggy/Duff Martins/Owen ???/Ameobi/Carroll Team Given Beye Taylor New CB Enrique Milner Faye Barton Zoggy New CF Martins Harper, New CB/Geremi, Emre, Duff, Owen/??? I think our team has potential but not with Car playing LB, Cacapa playing CB, Butt, Smith and Viduka playing anywhere. Faye is a rock and has to play. Enrique needs to play LB. We need Creativity from Zoggy, Milner, Duff, Emre, Barton, Beye, Enrique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether Lennon would be wanting that move at this time would be debateable. A swap involving N'Zogbia and Berbatov would be as likely as a swap involving Michael Owen and Micah Richards, Berbatov to Man Utd, Richards to the pikeys up the road or similar, they'd be wanting clubs with regular CL participation..

We've run out of time, we have serious serious problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've run out of time, we have serious serious problems. If good players are being kept out of a team by better players who are better suited to the style of the team, it doesn't make the good players on the sidelines bad. Forest won the European Cup with a great team but not the greatest players, Brummie would probably say the same about Aston Villa in the early 80's, a great team but Peter Withe, Tony Morley etc will hardly be remembered as worldbeaters. Buying CL team's rejects isn't a problem, fashioning them into a quality team is the big problem. But it is only a problem, not an impossibility.

Arshavin Deco Bentley Barnes Dunne Nani(loan) Are all possible Possible based on what? On us being a solidly medium-sized club? On us being in the bottom half of the table? On us having no recent history of success? Yeah, players like Bentley and Nani are going to be f****** BEGGING to come here. Hold on just a second. Players do not sign to hear about past sucesses, they sign to be a part of sucess. Also going be your theory if players never signed for sides in the bottom half then you wouldn't have the massive strides by teams like Porthsmouth and Man.City. Notice I said Nani on loan, I am pretty sure Man.U want him to develop and will probably let him go on loan to someone like us for more first team action. As for Bentley, blackburn aren't that much better positioned than us in the table. We are mid-table this season who's to say we will be next. Also Newcastle United isn't a middle sized club. We have a 52,000 seater stadium which very few clubs in England have and a great fan base. You have shown you have very little clue about what you talk about. With regards, Deep.

Bentley or Nani would never come here. Any one of the top four could put in a decent bid and he'd be off there in a shot, most likely. He could probably go anywhere he liked after the season he's had. The 'worst' he could get (not really the right phrasing) would be to stay at Blackburn another season.

Dokko Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Deco pace? I doubt we could get Nani on loan, i expect him to be making a bigger impact at Manu next season, its going to plan, him and Anderson. Bentley i think is a possibility, why not? Arshavin & Barnes should of been bought in the winter window, lets hope we go for them next window, and Dunne's release clause would be great to trigger, £1.5m? Citeh must be shitting themselves.

Because he's not smacked off his tits, probably. We're worse than the likes of Boro at the moment, we're not in Europe, we've got no history of success, he's young and very talented and English, got a massive future if he plays his cards right (Beckham's replacement ffs!?), he's got a highly-rated English right-winger already here which would be unwanted competition*, and if the top four or a big club from abroad don't come in for him now - he'll wait at Blackburn another season, who are a decent side with a decent manager. Let's face it, Bentley would be mad to come here. He's not realistic at all imo. *Milner is highly-rated, maybe not by us, but on the whole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
