taxfree Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'm not sure about the Italian CB, why should he be good enough for Castle when he doesn't play regularly for Cesena? I also spoke to a couple of Serie A fans, no one really knows of him. We need Verthongen! I'd also jump for Sow at almost any price! Just like Santon? Vertonghen would be great, but if we're keeping Colo, there's no chance we'll spend huge like that. Would be well pleased with Benalouane as an option to have. Haven't seen much of Cissé tbh, but reckon he's better than Sow. A guy with a clumsy style and only one good season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 To be fair, I think Santon was 'proven' under Mourinho, this dood nobody seem to know, besides Carr et al. But, then again, he haven't made any poor judgements yet. I'm not blaming Carr for Obertan, moar like Pardew Also, Verthongen would cost, but he's 24 y/o? Would easily get those chunks of money back if he held the level of the premiership. But if not him, what about his belgian mate Alderweireld. Should be a bit cheaper and got good ball skills just like Colo. I'm not sure about the Italian CB, why should he be good enough for Castle when he doesn't play regularly for Cesena?

bodson Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I think one more quality centre back like Vertonghen is the one thing we need to let the current NUFC take the next step and really battle for europe. A lot of people talks about getting in a better cover at the centre back position that Perch. I dont think that is enough. We should get a qualiy player in for this important position. Saylor is always injured and Williamson is good in the PL but not good enough if we want to take the next step. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 We should look at Belgium youth, there's some really decent talent there. Unfortunately, it looks like Pardew and Carr is more focused about pushing the transfer potential out from France. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest magpie99 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I am happy with the squad we have at present and think that the only new recruit we will get will be a young defender, possibly Williams from Boro. We will not buy a quality CH unless Colocinni is sold in the summer and maybe this Vetoghen bloke is being lined up as a replacement if Colo doesnt sign his contract by then. With Taylor back next season and Williamson a capab le deputy, we dont really need another top class centre half unless Colo is sold. I also think the club might be looking at the likes of Hoilett who is staying with Blackburn till the end of the season when his contract is up as a viable signing. If so, I would not expect much more business than that in the summer unless one of the so called stars is sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams is just a better version of Perch, comfortable at defensive mid, right back and centre back. Dont think wed sign him as a centre back only.

aussiemag Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 If we were to make 3 realistic signings between now and the end of summer. What 3 players would you like to see sign? for me . Tranquillo Barnetta . Jan Vertonghen . Aly Cissokho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest magpie99 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I dont consider them to be realistic at the pricesd we would be quoted. For example, Barnetta is a free agent in the summer Vertoghen is too expensive and possibly out of our reach Cissokho is a possible but not a priority in my opinion. I also think Lyon are trying to hawk him around at way over his market value. In my opinion, I would rather wait till the summer and get Hoillett on a free Moses from Wigan might be an option this window as he doesnt seem to want to sign a new contract I would take a loan CH for the remainder of the season, possibly Ridgewell anmd then look at Vertoghen in the summer if Colocinni doesnt sign his contract Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest magpie99 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Sorry mate, didnt read your post properly. End of summer. OK, here goes This window Sign Morrison from Man Utd Sign Williams, I really think he is a good prospect Get Guthrie and Colo contracts extended Summer window See the back of Smith, Lovenkrands, Rnager and Xisco Sell Forster to Celtic Give Ba and Krul new improved contracts Sign Hoilett from Blackburn on a free Sign the young centre half from Montpellier Dont sell any of our stars Loan out some of our kids to championship sides Keep Perch but only play him in the defensive central midfield role as a sub. He does well there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorin Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 LOL, are people really discussing the possibility of -KEEPING- Perch? Get that nugget outta here, he can't play! Yes, Verthongen might be what they define as "expensive" but obv. well worth money due to his versatility in defence and as a DMC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Not saying they've been ignorant, as long as some of the rumours are actually matching the reality. And it usually does somewhat, I guess. WW: I'm satisfied with how things are going, not saying drop France, but we shouldn't be putting all our sticks in one bowl. altho that got a lil mixed up with getting Cisse from Germany. It might as well just be the newspapers focus on France giving us an advantange, who knows. I don't really know anything else than the papers.

ponsaelius Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 A few twittertwats were saying we've been linked to Angelo Ogbonna. Probably nowt in it, but would be a good signing. 23 year old Italian centre back with Nigerian parents, capped for Italy recently despite playing in Serie B. Haven't seen much of him since they were relegated but he's highly rated and would know Santon from U21s. Edit: Apparently Torino want shitloads for him, scratch that.

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Ogbonna is one of the highest rated CB's in Italy right now, basically all the Italy big guns want him i doubt we would have a chance lol even if the price was in our range. Would love it mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
