Village Idiot Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 According to reports, Routledge has played well but I think we'll need one more winger. Perhaps someone who can feed Carroll with crosses. How about going for Alessandro Diamanti in case West Ham go down? Saw him play yesterday and thought he was pretty impressive. Good technique and great crosses. Is Jermaine Pennant past it? I would say yes but nonetheless the wages would be unreasonable. Zaragoza does want to get rid. Google says he's on €2.2m a year. That's... around 35k a week in pounds? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubblyDubblyDubbly Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 £5M for David Jones of Wolves +1 He was outstanding last night. We'll certainly need some pace/energy to survive in the Prem if last nights 6 pointer was anything to go by. Parker was anonymous apart from his double shot... when did he stop pirouetting ?

Minhosa Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Not sure how realistic this one is (probably not very) but Flamini's rumoured to be on his way out of Milan. He would be a terrific signing for our midfield. What am I saying? We've got no hope have we? Anyhow, nice thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much a wasted talent, the likes of which we've spent far too much money on in recent years. I'd say Wayne Routledge is a very similar story. Raw talent as a youngster but lost his way, perhaps through transferring at the wrong time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Wouldn't mind taking a few future stars on loan for next season. Was thinking maybe try for Bojan Krkic as he's not getting much of a look in at Barca. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I think we should go for Owen Hargreaves, he hasn't been getting into the Man Utd squad for a while. Used to be a good player England, don't think Capello likes him though as he hasn't been in (m)any of his squads. reckon we could get him on the cheap? Could play right back He's not been in any squads, as he has got a serious knee problem. Only starting to train again iirc Would be Smith 2.0 for us. Smith was out for such a long time as well than Big Sam went for him. Not that good move. No way! He'd be a goalscoring right back, he's as good as Beckham at set pieces, would be good back up to Ryan Taylor when it comes to free-kicks and corners. I know how good Hargreaves is or at least was. But I still think it's a big gamble/risk buying him. He was out for about 2 years. You don't know if he still can hit a ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I've just noticed Jadson is still at Shakhtar. He was class everytime I saw him on their way the their UEFA cup win last season, really expected him to move to a bigger league. Hr'd only 5ft6 so might find the PL a bit tough like, especially in the centre of midfield. Elano also always impressed me at City before he felt out with the manager and moved to Galatasary. Could possibly be the answers to our creative problems? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Mentioned this in the MLS thread but I'd like to take a look at Fredy Montero, he does the business in the MLS and might be able to take the step up (and is still relatively young). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Parker isn't really box-to-box, although he'd like to think it. Box-to-box has always struck me as, barring a select few, a player who isn't particularly good defending or attacking really. Recklessly banded about term making players sound better than they are.
