macca888 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I would think Scharner could be the man for the defensive role in the centre of midfield. I would also like Andy Driver from Hearts Maynard from Bristol City Wheater from Boro Hibbert from Everton (nothing fancy but an experienced PL right back) If Burnley go down, Danny Fox as back up to Jose So, Scharner, Fox, Wheater, Hibbert, Driver and Maynard would probably cost us about 15 million quid. Sell Taylor to Everton for 8 million, net deficit spent of 7 million and the squad has been improved in all areas. Ohh, and we save another 50K a week when Butt retires. If anyone will give us a million for Best, grab their hands off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone will give us a million for Best, grab their hands off. Danny Fox is a good shout, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't settle for back-up. Steven Fletcher is a decent striker, but I'm not sure if it's better than anything we've currently got. All the Evertonians down here, say that Hibbert's a liability - that's why Neville is preferred. 'Rabbit caught in the headlights' and 'hot potato' are phrases associated with Hibbert. Forest right back looked decent on Monday and if Forest don't go up, he might be tempted in hading a transfer request if we bid for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Financially wise, Boro wouildnt get anywhere near that much for Wheater and if they want to gain promotion next season, they are going to have to sell to buy. Hibbert is not the best option but is highly experienced and no nonsense type player. Neville is in their because he is the captain and not much better than Hibbert to be honest. I am sure Danny Fox would prefer to be vying for a place in the first team of a PL club than in the CCC with a struggling team. Yes, agreed about Perch, but my reasoning behind Hibbert rather than Perch is his experience in the PL might well be invaluable as opposed to another inexperienced right back.

Disco Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Anyone got a link to all the players out of contract so we can have a look at who we could be linked with and then not get? Out of your list macca, only Scharner & Driver i'd like to see here. Fox won't come as back up, Wheater is shit and no better than what we have and would cost a bit, Hibbert is shit period, Maynard is no better than Lovenkrands.

merlin Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Apart from the obvious requirements, I would have a cheeky try for Paul Scholes - IF Man U would release him on either a Free or a small fee. This guy is very fit for a 35 yr old, has masses of experience, and would be great for bringing into the side during games when we needed a late boost ; Scholes has a great scoring record from midfield and is a model pro. He would be invaluable as an example to young players - Clough and Taylor brought in Dave Mackay to give some stability and guidance to their Derby side and it worked a treat...Scholes may do a similar job at NUFC and hasn't had the number of injuries Mackay suffered before he left Spurs. All decent sides have a good blend of youth and experience and you don't get better than Scholes in the experience department. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 It may be wishful thinking but what about someone like Sakho, PSG centre back.

I hate to be cynical but when you sign foreign players you have to turn your attention to their attitude and mental strength. More Enrique's, less Bassong's. Even if Bassong is a quality player.
