Optimistic Nut Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Why do people rate Upson so highly by the way? He had 18 good months with Birmingham, but he never established himself at Arsenal (okay, that maybe harsh considering the competition he had...although Wenger obviously rated Cygan more highly blueconfused.gif), and he's been plagued by injury ever since. I got slated when I suggested Dunn as a cheap, squad member because of his injury record, Upson's just as bad the past 2 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunn I agree is a good player but have you seen the size of him recently? He clearly likes his pies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theunis Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Yeah there we go Billy Jones could be a nice prospect. But would Rouder be looking lover leagues fot players i dont think so Think we need to employ old Harry Rednap as a consultant for the transfer window because he always gets the job done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll make it as a RB (probably too small for CB) in the EPL eventually. Better than anything we got now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Knowing our club, we'll spend all £25m on Ronaldo or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Knowing our club, we'll spend all £25m on Ronaldo or something. He's actually still got something about him though...try Rivaldo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dev Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 True that. At least when he's fat and unfit Rondaldo still scores goals. We seem to bring in players that are fat, unfit and also cannot play. May as well get 1 out of 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest getalife Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Spend as much of it as it takes to get Dean Ashton in - An ideal replacement for Shearer, and when Owen comes back ...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 We should try for Van der Vaart with a cheap bid due to Hamburg struggling. We need a midfielder who can drive forward and score goals, he got 26 goals last season from midfield in all comps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayerso Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I'd go for: SWP £10m D.Bent £8m Baines or Bale £4m Distin £3m Total: £25m If you could flog Emre for £9m and Luque for £3m I'd then go and buy: C.Davis £6m J.Barton £6m Only SWP wouldn't be able to play in Europe so that would help our chances.

Cajun Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Would rather spend £10m on another centre back than SWP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Since we all seem to be playing FM, spend 15 million on Kompany, Van den Borre and Bridge then the other 10m on Huntelaar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 We won't get that much for Emre. And yeah defence is way more of an issue then wingers atm, invest that 10m into 2 or 3 decent defenders and we will be well on our way. Who is this Bale? Everyone is going on about him.

I've always thought the south-coast teams should be higher than where they are at the minute. Considering they have about a quarter of the country to pick from relatively unchallenged.

Guest Deep456 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Diop wouldn't cost £5m and I doubt Upson would only cost £3m. He is to them their best player and its not as if they let Pennant and Heskey go for peanuts is it? Upson wants out, has only 18months on his contract, and is cost them £40kpw, which is the average wage of 10 Championship players. Along with him missing most of the season (out injured for SEVEN months) and the near on fact he wont be signing a new deal means now is the time to sell, and as soon as an EPL club has a bid rejected, he'll spit his dummy and demand to be listed. If Brum get £3m, they'd be lucky. In league 2 the average player gets £6000 a week quite oviously in championship it would be more so your facts are wrong.

tmonkey Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 We could do with a linkup forward, someone who drops slightly deep and pulls the strings with some ability on the ball and good technique - weve seen what a huge difference it can make with Dyer playing that role, and last season Emre did a good job there in a few games. Gudjohnsen or JD Tomasson would be ideal for a few seasons. Maybe ask Tevez's owner if hes willing to sell him, might not cost too much due to his relatively shiite form, but hes enough of a presence at this point in time to improve our frontline to a significant degree sinces hes still linking up well with players - with much room for improvement in other departments once hes settled.

Guest tobiazvanderziaz Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 With Owen, Martins, Ameobi, Sibiersky and Dyer if needed as strikers i wouldnt spent money on our attack, but instead focuse on making the defense look good, which it hasnt done for many years.... Buy some quality defenders and not just some OK players like Upson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With two of the list injured, one prone to injury and the other yet to settle in this league, I would be looking to spend money short-term on bringing in a Premier League goalscorer.
