ShearMagic Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Ok, just looking through every club in the Championship, and here are the players I've heard of and know a bit about: Start with the teams that have been relegated: Norwich: No-one really takes my fancy Southampton: Adam Lallana Charlton: Darren Ambrose, Jonjo Shelvey (probably out of our price range and will go to a Prem club though) Best of the rest..... Mark Beevers: 19 year old centre half from Sheffield Wednesday. Very highly rated. Price might be a stumbling block. Giles Barnes: Went to Fulham on loan but didn't impress so he's back off to Derby. Probably get some interest from a Premiership club though. Freddy Eastwood: I've heard of him and he's been decent whenever I've seen him, but it looks like he didn't do much last season. Billy Sharp: 23 year old striker that is currently at Sheffield United. Majority of what I know from him is couresy of FM though haha. Joe Mattock: Currently playing for Leicester as a LB. Lewis McGugan: 20 year old central midfielder, currently at Nottingham Forest. He's one of these outstanding Championship players who probably isn't quite ready for the step-up to the Premiership yet. Joe Ledley: He's a gun. Probably again though, ready for a Premiership club to come in for him. Ross McCormack: One of the leagues top scorers last season Victor Moses: Young 18 year old winger/striker from Crystal Palace Billy Jones: 22 year old versatile player. Can play anywhere across the back four or even in midfield. Jason Scotland: Very good goal-scoring record in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToonArmy Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Looking at some of the best players in the SPL might not be a bad idea. Andrew Driver from Hearts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 We have to sign Moses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Matejovsky, Commons, Scotland, Doyle, Beckford, Fryatt, off the top of my head would be good shouts. Fryatt was shite in the championship last season. We've been watching Commons for ages, but I reckon he'll end up at Birmingham or Wigan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayerso Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Kyle Naughton would be good cover at LB. Is he not a right back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazza06 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Kyle Naughton would be good cover at LB. Is he not a right back? He is indeed. Naysmith is Sheff Utd's Left back. Couldn't see him leaving Utd for anybody else in the championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Be nice to try and get Gibson. I rate him. No idea if Man Utd would be prepared to let him go, but I think he'd be a class signing for us. They've been known to flog a couple of decentish players who weren't going to be good enough for them to a CCC team in the last couple of years (Eagles, Jones).

Ashley17 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Only one from Norwich worth a punt is Clingan, even then thoguh we can probably do better, even if I have no better suggestions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Someone was telling me Morgan Schneiderlin of Southampton was tidy. He can't tackle, can't win headers, disappears when the going gets tough, but is an excellent passer of the ball. Definitely not ready for first team football for a club with actual aspirations.

KaKa Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I don't think we will be in a situation to buy the best players from fellow championship sides somehow. Reckon we are better off targetting prem players who are maybe just short of prem quality at the moment and also top league one players. Could do with raiding Southampton for some of their better players as they are going down and they do have some serious young talent there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Kris Commons from Derby would be a good buy imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Corner Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Free Transfers Any one? http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2009/4/12/1183353/out-of-contract-players-in-england-free-to-move-this-summer http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2009/4/12/1183429/out-of-contract-players-in-spain-free-to-move-this-summer http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2009/4/12/1183517/out-of-contract-players-in-italy-free-to-move-this-summer Daruis Vassell, Julian Gray, Danny Mills, Kanu, Linvoy Primus, Super Sibierski ? There seems to be some good older players in Italy and Spain but i dont know how good they are now. This was in April as well so some players might have signed on by now. Apologies if it has already been posted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin doyle Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Doyle from Reading IS a goalscorer in the Owen mould without the helicopter-to-work/horses-come-first baggage Cahill's decent too Doyle isn't really like Owen. He has a much better all round game.Can play on the wing if necessary,crosses in great balls. Alas been injured towards the end of the season. Signed a new contract last season. If he goes I would think it would be to a premier league club or for a lot of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry Kaka but that complete nonsense, once again, of course we will be looking at players with a proven record at this level and we'll have the cash to buy them, I'm sure about that. Looking at League 1 players makes no bloody sense whatsover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at League 1 players makes no bloody sense whatsover. i'm with afar on this one - the average wage bill for the CCC is 9m or something and they papers (i know) reckon we'll attempt to maintain a 40m wage bill for a season to try and go up we'll be the biggest hitters down there by far and with the sales of martins & bassong, plus peanuts adding up from the likes of smith, shola or whoever else we ship there should be money to spend on new players from the CCC we need to buy players who aren't only gonna exist for a season, i.e. some scrappers who get us up who we've then got to offload to replace with PL players this is why loans are key for me, spend what money we have wisely getting the best players down there who have the potential to improve then flesh out the squad with loans all depends on fat mike though i suppose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
