SLK Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Was watching Pierre-Emerick on YouTube and couldn't not notice Saint Etienne's number 9 who has a great understanding with their number 7 (Pierre). His name is Max Gradel from Ivory Coast who was voted Leeds player of the year 2 years ago. From the videos he seems to provide assists and scores goals too similar style to Craig Bellamy.

Flip Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I was watching my 2nd team, Corinthians play yesterday and I would love a DM a la Ralf. He might be a bit unrealistic with him being linked to some bigger clubs (€22m to Bayern being rumoured), but still, he's the type of defensive midfielder who would work perfectly with Moussa and Cabaye. He has the ability to create from deep, pass the ball around well but best of all he's like Tiote on his good day defensively every game, wins so many duels in the middle of the park and covers for the defence. We really need someone like that, that can anchor that midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 max gradel ? Please no Coquelin, Imbula and that Wigan winger Don't know Imbula is or who Wigan winger is.... but Coquelin is bang average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Jackson Martínez or Carlos Bacca would be nice but I know this is the "Realistic Transfer Targets - Summer 2013" thread. Stefan Kießling tall like Parsew wants but well 29 so to old ? My pick though wold still be Wilfried Bony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Alex Pearce from reading. It's happening like.

AlanSkÃrare Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 guardian reckon all these could be on the way out of citeh: Costel Pantilimon, Joleon Lescott, Gareth Barry, Carlos Tevez, Roque Santa Cruz, Scott Sinclair, John Guidetti, Maicon, Edin Dzeko we'd be stupid not top punt in for Guidetti surely? Would be good for coverage over here more than anything else. We can do much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I'd probably even start him in the current set-up. As much as I love Goof his ability lies in a striker role (still good out wide, mind). We're choking for a bit of pace and it'd allow us to throw away Obertan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, basically a scattering of some people who aren't French would be very good for the diversity of the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're looking into players' characters a lot more these days. At least we say we are. I'd say that's one thing that has improved under Mike Ashley.

I think we're looking into players' characters a lot more these days. At least we say we are. I'd say that's one thing that has improved under Mike Ashley. On the surface the characters we've brought in are pretty decent, however you can only really judge someone in action and in action this season a lot of our players let us down, their character is in massive question for me after that relegation battle. They coasted towards it and got lucky IMO, with qpr not giving a shit and Wigan leaving too much to do. The glory of the Europa seemed more important than the league, and when that was cut nothing seemed to matter, ie the shit performances following. I say one or two are pretty disappointed we stayed up, it would have put them in a better position to leave had we gone down, that along with heads turned still from last summer. We've got some good players and when times are good they love it and play great, when the shit hits the fan they are nowhere to be seen and their stepping stone attitude kicks in.
