£3m for a player like Taarabt would be good business.

 

Wonder how 2 Tottenham rejects would fair in our lineup in O`hara and Taraabt  :laugh:

 

Good player like but doesn`t want to play in England after this season has ended apparently ,as he said his style of play is not suited to the English game.

Off the potentially relegated sides I'd look at:

 

Eagles for cover/competition on the wings.

Diamanti.

Behrami.

Belhadj.

KP Boateng.

Bikey.

 

Pompey have recieved a £4.5m bid for Belhadj from CSKA and a £5m offer for Boateng from Sevilla according to their administrator.

Skysports.com understands Newcastle are one of a number of clubs tracking Swindon hot-shot Charlie Austin.

 

Austin has been a revelation for Swindon since being snapped up from non-league Poole Town last October.

 

The 20-year-old has scored a staggering 16 goals in 22 starts for Swindon and is regarded as one of the best young talents in the country.

 

Austin's goalscoring exploits are understood to have caught the attention of a host of clubs higher up the football pyramid.

 

Newcastle are believed to have watched Austin in action on a number of occasions this season, with Premier league Tottenham and Fulham also keeping tabs on the forward's progress.

 

Championship promotion hopefuls Newcastle are understood to have watched Austin in action at the weekend against Hartlepool, with assistant boss Colin Calderwood an interested observer at Victoria Park.

Swindon are keen to keep Austin as they battle for promotion from League One, with the prolific striker being rewarded with a new two-and-a-half year deal in February for his progress.

Aaaaaaaaaah phooey! Really want us to go for Boateng. £5 million is a good shout too.

And, we can't get him untill the end of the season in anyway.

Kevin Kuranyi  - free agent this summer

 

There are quite many good free agents this summer (if they stay free agents and won't sign a new contract)

 

Cacau (Stuttgart), Hamit Altintop (Bayern), Paulo Guerrero (Hamburg)

Joe Cole (we wouldn't get him though), Mortem Gamst Pedersen, Philippe Senderos

 

Don't know if players like Senderos for example are in our reach for next season to buy, though.

Just been looking over this summers free agent list again and there really are some really good, solid and realistic players that would suit us quite nicely going back into the premier league (fingers crossed).

 

Hope we are really aggressive with this once promotion is hopefully secured. The earlier we can achieve this the better really.

Guerrero would be an amazing signing, especially on a free.

 

Cacau looked very good vs barcelona if im thinking of the right bloke, and is just the sort of pacey striker we'll need next season.

 

Always really liked him even as a youngster at Bayern. Think he would suit the prem too. Good, physical and committed player who could hopefully get around 12 - 15 in the prem and continue to get better as still 26. Wage demands shouldn't be crazy either. Good looking fit for us I reckon. Had no idea he was on a free.

Waiting for the transfer window to open is just good sportsmanship really...

If we have any sense we'll be trawling out of contract players at the moment. The number of positions we fill with free agents will mean we have more money to spend on others.

 

Of course we will as we have already shown with some recent signing we are ready to advantage of certain situations: unhappy = Routledge,  Best & Simpson = out of contract in the summer & MW = Club up shit  creek.  Free transfers do not always work out cheap as them pesky agents are looking for bigger signing on fees (for the player & themselves) & much higher wages as well as they know the club has saved on negotiating a fee with another club.

We want to fill the 'gaps' in our squad (i.e. positions we need backup for but the first team players are already good enough - see left-back, for example) with frees, and spend our money on three or four quality signings.

Only problem with Guerreo is that he has fear of flying. But as we won't have european campaign in the very near future it shouldn't be that big problem.

 

Can't be that bad if he plays for Peru still. Canny old flight from Germany to Lima.

Last time he was in Peru he made the flight to Peru but was too feared to make it back to Hamburg. Was stuck in Peru for several weeks.
