Realistic Transfer Targets January 2011


Recommended Posts

I'd love to have him here. Sign him up on a 2 year contract and see how he goes.

 

Do we do two-year contracts?

Should do for players over 26.

 

So we should give the likes of Barton and Colo two-year deals?

Carrick would be a massive step in the wrong direction when we've finally (apparently) heading in the right on when it comes to our signings.

There is no wrong direction or right direction. Is Perch a step in the right direction? There is no problem targeting older players as long we hedge the risk presented by them and supplement it with other types of signings. It is just foolish to pass up signing a talented footballer because he does not resemble other recent signings.

James Perch is a 25 year old and was arguably brought in as defensive cover for various positions.

 

 

Agreed. The same goes for Best this time last year.

Watched a bit of QPR v Cov earlier and Taraabt stands out a mile in that league. Debatable whether he's a "realistic" target, but he's impressed every time I've seen him.  Heard rumours about dodgy attitude?

Tiote, Carrick & Barton in midfield I would get bored of us retaining possession better get Taarabt for the left to mix it up.

 

Carrick on current form over the last 2 years is a lot better than Ireland.

 

 

 

Carrick is routinely criticised by the Manchester press and most Man Utd fans I speak to pin point him as the glaring weak link in their side.

Central midfield is like the centre of our defence, probably stronger.  We won't have much money so anything we spend should be spent on forwards imo. 

 

I agree, however the problem is we have 6 on the books with best, Carroll, xisco, ranger, liven and shola. I dont blame Ashley for not sanctioning another striker until we get rid.

 

Xisco and loven out for me before a new one comes in!

Man Utd weak link? Different levels. Some of them were having a pop at Rio last season.

As this is the realistic transfer thread I think we should be realistic and accept we will not be making any signings this window.

I think Pardew knows it too, he is not distanced from Owner & Chairman, if he believes he is going to get new faces in then I wonder how long before Pards walks too..
