morla84 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 £20m bids? Some people live on another planet That would be the £35m gone on 1 player when you take wages into account Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Jarvis would be a must buy if Wolves went down. Be a fair few in for him I reckon given his performances this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Jelle Vossen (Genk) and Bjorn Vleminckx (NEC) are both pretty realistic - young, prolific in their respective leagues and relatively cheap. I reckon these are the kind of players we'll be looking at. Both have been linked with moves to the Premier League already. I still think we should look at the likes of Sturridge, Obinna and Brunt as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 If WBA go down than we should definitely take a look at Brunt. I find it hard to see Sturridge coming this way as he said these days that he wants to stay at Chelsea but doesn't mind being loaned out. Obinna feels like a hit and miss, we'll see how that develops during the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I thought Ben Watson was very good for Wigan the other night, he has a fantastic range of passing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscar Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Think that's the most likely scenario, we'll try and get some bargains from the relegated sides, if we survive that is. Potentially Rodallega, Zog, Fletcher, Collison. But i'm sure we'll end up with C Cole, Boa Morte and Caldwell instead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayke Rodriguez was the better player for them last year, shame they couldn't afford to keep him. Aye, that Rodriguez fella was quite good. He went to Denmark or something like that. Sweden? I think Kara will turn out to be a decent player though. Too good for the Norwegian league IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 All efforts need to be concentrated on getting 2 quality strikers and a back up for them. Every other position is secondary and secondary by a country mile. I'm still completely gob smacked that we failed to even get a loan deal for a striker or take a cheap gamble. Pardew should have pinned Ashley to the wall to get someone in once it was clear AC was on his way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not too hard to believe given how intense the media was on the fact Andy Carroll was being sold for £35m. Clubs know we had money to burn and we were desperate.

oscar Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Rodallega and Collison? No thanks. They're both better than what we've got, but i suppose thats not saying much. JC would be a good squad player, better than all our current CMs except Tiote (and Ireland). And considering the type of fees and wages we'll be paying i can't see much better out there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Collison has been injured since last season. Would want to see him prove his knee isn't kippered myself. I'd take Rodallega though although the price tag would be too large I suspect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscar Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Possibly, but as someone mentioned earlier, all the top sides are sorted for strikers, and if they get relegated he'll be one of the first ones away, probably for a fraction of what he's worth now, which i reckon is exactly the type of signing we'll be trying to make Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Can't help but think that Vela won't make it at Arsenal becasue i dont think he fits into the formation they like to play (a formation i'd like to see us play). Would also have a look at Sturridge, Weiss, N'Zogbia and Bassong. I know, I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nikos34 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Realistic targets? Christopher Samba (Blackburn) Madjid Bougherra (Rangers) Gretar Rafn Steinsson (Bolton) Arthur Boka (Stuttgart) - Has always looked class when I've seen him play and being Ivorian, surely Tiote could tap him up. Graham Dorrans (West Brom) Chris Brunt (West Brom) Michael Carrick (Man Utd) - Finally come to play for us? Apparently shite now? Victor Obinna (West Ham on loan from Inter) Daniel Sturridge (Bolton on loan from Chelsea) Kevin Doyle (Wolves) The 35m however, Pardew may never see. I can see Colo, Jose, Tiote and Jonas being given the Carroll treatment by their agents. And I don't think Ashley has grasped that if you sell your best players you'll go down. Either that or he is past caring, if he ever did that is! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest andrew Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 We'll get some shit like Carlton Cole... and we'll spend under £10m. and I can see Jose leaving in the summer, doesn't sound as if his contract is getting signed any time soon and a lot of clubs will be ready to take him.
