tomlkier Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Can't see why you're advocating getting rid of Williamson then complaining about a lack of depth, I don't think there are many better CB's that are happy to be 4th choice, we need decent squad players like Williamson and Perch who are willing to sit on the bench 90% of the season and come in and do a job when needed. We only really need to sign another CB this summer is if we lose Colo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only really need to sign another CB this summer is if we lose Colo. One center back? I hope you mean as far as spending on defence? If Colo goes we need two Centre backs of the same pedigree. I think Williamson is OK as a squad player, not 3rd choice but fourth. I like Perch aswell but only as a defensive midfielder (squad player), he's far too brittle in defence.

Yeah, I meant spending on defence, we definitely need another two attacking players. Williamson is 4th Choice currently (Colo, Taylor, MYM, Willo). Can't see us needing two CB's if Colo goes, or being capable of attracting anyone near the same quality, but we should be signing a first choice CB like Sakho, or more realistically Douglas.

Dinho lad Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 de Bruyne is going to Germany - probably to BVB or as part of the Schurrle deal to Leverkusen. He's going to be one hell of a player. Chelsea are so daft for letting him go. I don't think he's any inferior to Schurrle, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Seen him mentioned by others before, I'm sure, but I'd be surprised if Cheick Diabate from Bordeaux doesn't feature somewhere on our list of striking targets - particularly if Shola packs in and we look to sign two.

Gallowgate Toon Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I think Bony will be like de Jong from last Summer. We'll put in 10m or so only to be usurped by someone else. Not really aware of many decent target man types on the continent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Musts: Decent Left Winger/Forward Decent Striker Decent CB (colo replacement) Back up GK (Harper replacement) Would like: Williamson out - Replaced Gosling out replaced with a creative attacking mid Obertan out and replaced Will be interesting to see how we rate our fringe players. Given Pardew's previous damning statement in January about younger and fringe players not being up to scratch, we shall see how much back tracking he does or if he lives up to his word with strengthening the squad. Already looks like backtracking is the route, having spoken last week about how the younger players will be better from this years experience.

toontownman Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Cheeky bid for Scott Sinclair? He is very likely to leave Man City. Ticks all the Ashley transfer regulation boxes. Surely not completely wrecked from one year at Man City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillClinton Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Cheeky bid for Scott Sinclair? He is very likely to leave Man City. Ticks all the Ashley transfer regulation boxes. Surely not completely wrecked from one year at Man City. Wouldn't mind him, we need that type of player. He's probably sitting on a lot higher wages than we are willing to give him though. If he's smart ( ) he would take a pay cut in order to restart his career. What a dumb move that was. People were saying he was on the edge of the England squad and now he's hardly played a game all season. It's not like he is someone that had to work his way up the leagues to finally get a shot with a 'big' club, he started with Chelsea and wasn't good enough..

If we're looking to replace Shola with another big man to come off the bench, I reckon we should be in for Anichebe. He's unlikely to be first choice striker at Everton next year, so it'd depend on the new manager, whether he'd trade their bench for ours and whether or not he hates the club because of Nolan.

sugoinufc Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Vermaelen can leave for £5mil apparently. Unrealistic? Arsenal selling their captain again? came here to post the same...would love him here. And while we are shopping at arsenal we should buy Bendtner as well. Controversial - maybe. But he knows its his last chance and many seems to forget he had a really really good euro 12. last season his been injured, out of favor in a strong juve attack and scandals - only one (big though). Bendtner is a bit similar to cisse. So back up for cisse and then we should get remy as well. attack and cb sorted for "cheap money". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Vermealen can't defend and is a positional trainwreck. No coincidence at all that since Arsenal dropped him they have been picking up Clean sheets like its something to do as Koscielny and Mertesacker actually know the basics of defending.
