The Prophet Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 It's probably already been said but Jordi Gomez would be an excellent signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 What's the comment about Billy Sharp about? Stick him in the right team and he'd easily get 15-20 goals in the CCC. Based on what? Sheff Utd have played about 10 strikers ahead of him and i think only Beattie got near 20 goals. His record in the championship is 8 in 53. Based on having seen him play live in about 70 matches. Based on seeing the role he was given at Sheff United, after he was signed by a board even though the manager (Bryan Robson) said he didn't want him. He was played completely out of position by Robson, and eventually it lead to his downfall. Billy is severely lacking in confidence in his own game, so wouldn't be a good signing at the mo anyway. He wants to go out on loan for a season to prove himself again (although for some reason he still sees himself as a Sheff United player) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 We should take a look at Mackail-Smith and Mclean from Peterborough. Brilliant last season and will do well in the championship. George Boyd too. Is Wilbraham(?) from MK Dons any good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Doyle from Reading IS a goalscorer in the Owen mould without the helicopter-to-work/horses-come-first baggage Cahill's decent too And who was that Sheff U defender - Walker was it ? - who made a superb from the back challenge after pulling back 2 yards on the striker to stop a certain 2nd goal ? (only half watching the box with sound off at work) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Why would Doyle or Hunt join us? They want out of this league desperately, theres more chance of promotion staying at Reading next year than coming here and would both cost a fortune. Makes no sense.

Reading have a better chance at promotion? With Coppell gone I'm reasonably sure next year will be a rebuilding campaign for them. The likes of Doyle and Hunt probably can and will be tempted to leave. I would guess they'd be more likely to join a promoted club who'll take a chance on them though.

Yorkie Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I'm a bit iffy on Beckford. Been to Leeds a couple of times this season just gone with my Leeds-mate, and Beckford winds him up no end. Good infront of goal like but with everything else... dunno; his footwork is gash like. Tbh, i've got no problem if we want to save a bit of cash and build the striking line around Carroll. I quite like what i've seen of him this season and i reckon he could flourish if playing week-in, week-out. Then there's Shola to deputise; Owen, Martins, Viduka, Smith, Lovenkrands all bound to leave... meaning Shola's the only deputy, come to think of it... We're probably going to have to rely on Carroll at this rate, given the state of the squad come July/August sorta time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShearMagic Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I've heard a bit about his attitude, it's pretty bad or something? If he's got a bad attitude, he's the kind of player we need to stay clear of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you planning on signing some of these players exactly? I just read Newcastle earned £41 million through TV this season, and next season it will be a mere £2.5 million. The players you sell won't go for inflated prices because Europe knows you need the money. Bosman rulings or part exchange transfers is where you guys should be looking.

Guest Heneage Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Beckford has just been put on the transfer list. He'll do for me. We must do this now. Not disciplined enough, gets sent off too much, with us every team will trying to be wind our lot up we are a scalp. Ross McCormack is one I'd look at, as well as Ched Evans.

SteveMc Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Not sure they'd let him out on loan gain, but there will be other similar players available. On a side note we are in a really difficullt position. We need to build asquad (almost from scratch) to fulfill 2 tasks. We need a squad to get up and then (with only a few additions) hopefully compete at the top level again. All on a limited budget. Far from easy!
