Guest Flatline Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 ..............................Forster Simpson...Williamson...Coloccini...Enrigue .......................Barton...Tiote .........N'Zogbia.....Ben Arfa.....Ireland ............................Sow How good would this team be if we could keep everyone fit? Is 7th a realistic target? With both Sow and Ireland delivering 10-15 goals each, sure. Question is: will they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I doubt we'll sign any English players this summer tbh. yeah i agreed with that bit, i can't see us signing English and if that means we don't get Carlton Cole i'd be delighted! I just have my doubts that we'll be the first team to dive into the transfer market and bring in two players quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Walker hasn't impressed me defensively. Huge liability. Going forward, sure, but if he can't defend why not just stick him on the right of midfield? Got time on his side to establish his position, like. See Johnson, Glen.

ChrisMcQuillan Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Would love Defoe here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Would love Defoe here. Always thought he would end up here for some reason. Would work well in a 4-4-2, but I imagine Pardew fancies going 4-4-1-1 next year with Ben Arfa behind a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudwiser Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Can't help but think Shane Long is worth a punt! He's only 24/25 with 25 goals in the Championship. Amazing return. He would have probably got more in our side as well. Certainly think he is worth a go. Wouldn't be a starter for me, but great type of player to have! would love this signing but his price will be quite high and even higher if they get promoted has his failings but is very mobile,holds up the ball well and never gives up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going forward, sure, but if he can't defend why not just stick him on the right of midfield? Got time on his side to establish his position, like. He's a good player and we're in need of an attacking rb to compete with Corluka. Redknapp rates him highly anyway so theres no chance he's going anywhere (Hutton on the other hand you or Newcastle can have). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I'd take Defoe for a small sum, say £5m, no doubt the spuds will want something like £12m for him though. Better than carlton cole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defoe is better than all of our strikers, full stop. I'd rather have Best and Ben Arfa leading the attack than Jermain Defore and Demba Ba any day of the week. I suppose i've also dreamt up the fact that Defoe's managed a pitiful 4 goals this season in a team superior to ours. Time to do your research before spouting the same old rubbish.

Defoe has been better than Best throughout previous seasons though. Would probably not be a bad buy if not more than 7.5-8 million considering his age. He's just had a bad season to be fair.

I don't think that has been sugested (yet), but Defoe and Best are differant kinds of players, no doubt Defoe is the better striker, but is he big enough to lead the line by himself in our side? I think he would go missing tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
