Dave Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 As someone pointed out earlier, the positive is that we've apparently been trying to land this chap since Hughton was in charge. Therefore we must be pretty confident he'll be a good signing despite his underwhelming season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I like that he sounds quick and a hard worker. That can go a long way to covering up any weaknesses to his game, especially in the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpal78 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 "If we can get him (Ba) and another two in before the end of next week I'll still be looking for another two new faces to join us before the start of the season." So plus Cabaye, that will be 6 new players, with most of them probably for the first team? When was the last time we had such an overhaul? Is this a cause to be optimistic or concern?

Fenham Mag Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I predict that Best, if he stays fit, will be starting a lot next season despite signing 2 new strikers. Who can argue either if he continues his post-christmas form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'm not going to doubt this guys talent but this doesn't seem to a big massive name with a big massive like we were lead to believe. As someone who lived in France and occasionally went to Psg I can tell people that erding is quite s****. Him and ameobi in the front 2 on a bad day could lead to serious anger and frustration issues So we are basically buying the Turkish equivalent of lovelyhands? Lord have mercy Don't know anything about the player, but that photo equals don't want him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'm relatively happy with what we're looking to bring in here. Alot of the early talk was just pie in the sky, but essentially what we're looking to do is what I wanted us to do. We need a big target man who could score a goal or two - Ba We need an upgrade for CM, because our reliance on Nolan last season was unhealthy - Cabaye We need a quick forward - Erdinc We need cover for LB - Taylor We need a another winger to bring some more balance to the side - N'Zogbia If we can them all on board and get Jose to sign, and appease Nolan and Barton then it's pretty much the best Summer I could have hoped for.

Very sound and sensible signings they seem to me. The worry with going for players beyond our sphere was just how motivated would they be to play for us. I'd be happy with that lot.

We'll have to see if they're all slated to go straight into the first team. If they are, that'll be ... interesting.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 It all looks pretty likely to me, the biggest question mark seems to be Barton. Even if Nolan doesn't sign a new contract he'll still be here for another season IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much my thoughts. That would take our spending to about £25m wouldn't it? If that happens I'd be ecstatic, I was expecting us to spend about £15m max. I can see one or two leaving though, so I have a feeling the two players we're looking to fetch in a bit later could well be replacements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
