We've got to move for Diego in my opinion. Some of the world's biggest clubs e.g. Real Madrid, Inter and Juventus are going to be interested in him but he might not necessarily be a priority signing for these clubs.

 

We can't offer Champions League football, but a player like him could make getting back to that level a possibility. Apparently, he is available for £18 million.

 

Worth a try surely?

 

Says he wants to stay at Werder according to Skysports.com. I think it would be close to impossible to sign him as he is one of the most wanted players in football atm.

All the more frustrating that Diego was all set to join Spurs as a 17 year old for a maximum of £6m iirc but fell foul of work permit regulations.  Unfortunately, Pleat never thought of signing him and parking him in Belgium for a couple of years.

Nicky Maynard is on stunning form for Crewe.

 

Looked well composed last season, a good prospect but hasn't done much until the run in.

 

Edit: Just got his 1st ever hattrick.

 

Well done lad.  :thup:

'Would I go for Ronaldinho? Yes, I think so. You have to have an open mind. It is something I'd love to do. Whether it's this summer, well that would be fantastic. Whether he would come here is another matter. We have to live in the real world as well. But we have to believe that one we can compete if these players come available.'

 

The above is from Roy Keane & they think we are delusional.

 

The link below has quotes from Keegan as well.

Lost a lot sharpness after his leg break, will be intresting to see if he can finish the season strongly.

Lets just sign Zarate, fuck it I have had a drink, Birmingham won't be able to afford him, he is young, has long hair, has a cool name and is south American I cant see how it can go wrong.

Skysports.com understands Newcastle and West Ham are eyeing Toulouse midfielder Achille Emana.

 

Emana is a target for a host of clubs across Europe after impressing for Toulouse over the last few seasons.

 

The 25-year-old is regarded as one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe and his performances have not gone unnoticed.

 

Newcastle and West Ham have been keeping tabs on the Cameroon international for some time and scouts from both clubs are believed to have watched Emana in action against Bordeaux over the weekend.

 

Spanish duo Sevilla and Almeria and Italian pair Fiorentina and Udinese are also believed to be tracking Emana and are lining up moves for the midfielder in the summer.

 

Emana is believed to be considering his future at Toulouse and is keen on a move away to a bigger club.

 

The African is thought to have made a move to England his top choice and this has alerted the likes of West Ham and Newcastle.

 

Toulouse are unlikely to be able to resist any big-money offers for Emana and their valuation of €8million (£6.3million) would be no problem for either Newcastle or West Ham.

Not sure how he's doing at Lyon, but Kim Kallstrom might be good in the current system. Tall player with a strong left boot.

 

Too slow IMO for the Premiership albeit a talented player. Bit like a good version of Hugo Viana.

His left foot is brilliant at set pieces, like Viana. But has a lot more to his game than Viana. Great crosser, passer and a very, very good vision. Chips in with a lot of important goals for Sweden(lately) and used to rule our league like no one has been able to do.

 

Would love it if we signed him, one of my absolute favourite players. Lived very close to him in Stockholm and saw him do the most incredible things when he won the title for Djurgården two years in a row here. I think Everton are after him, and he seems to like them..

The defender from Athletic-Amoriabeta?-looks strong ,Quick-good left foot-

 

Kallstrom is a good call-similar players-Yeste-Athletic,Carlos Martins of Recreativo and De la Red of Getafe.

 

Keita of Sevilla is the one i would go for though in that position.

Didn't he reject signing for Madrid?

 

Definitely would not want to come here. No chance. For god sake hate to be a pessimist but he surely has so many better options of playing football at a higher standard than us?

Emana isn't that obscure, played against liverpool earlier in the season for Toulouse and was their best player, also turned out for cameroon in the ACN. canny player, box-to-box midfielder, more attacking than anything else but also a big physical presence. would see him as a challenger to Barton in the current first XI.

Not a bad player

 

I get the feeling you must watch football all day every day. You seem to know every player in the world.

 

That, or he plays FM every day.

 

The latter I imagine.

 

 

I do both!

 

As Jpd said,... Emna is hardly unknown.

 

Anyone here heard of Joaquin Botero? He's the Bolivian League's own Alan Shearer. Shame he never got the chance to try himself at a top European league.

This may be a bit previous & I'm assuming we stay up; but never too early to start looking (Wisey are you looking?).

 

Anyway, I'll include the following realistic targets, for positions that need looking at based on the speed, guile, height, attitude, strength, leadership, vision that we currently do not have & given our present crop that possible list includes most other PL players. I'll leave out FM rated players:

 

Bridge, Papa Diop, Nolan, Barnes, SWP, K Jones, Gudjonsen, Crouch, Bentley (realistic?).

 

Not many readily spring to mind, we need a top class central defender & I can't think of one that we would realistically attract. We could go with Faye but I'm not sure that is the answer. We also need a top class target man, who is mobile, can bring others into play & who can score. Not easy & the mackems may just have one.

  Yo mate, my first time on here so just having a go putting some comments in. I like your idea of potential new players out of them all I really think Bently would just set us away on the attacking front, Bridge and Diop could be good also. Sorry i sound a bit boring mate but hopefully I will get the hang of this chat carry on before long.
