joeyt Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Junior Hoillett out of contract this summer Also didn't know Tom Carroll is out of contract, could be a decent signing. In a really left field suggestion, based on the few Championship games and highlights I've seen, I'd have a look at Johann Berg Gudmundsson from Charlton (aye I know Charlton were relegated) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Lambert has hardly played for 2 years now and is 34. There are no guarantees he'd score goals. I'd take him as a squad player to take some of the pressure off Mitrovic though. He's a far far better striker than mitrovic and 34 means nothing, Defoe is 33 has just singlehandedly kept the mackems up and talk of an England recall We need to get away from this ageist bullshit Defoe is a completely different player and has been playing regularly for the last 18 months. How many starts has Lambert made in that time? Can't exactly remember him doing anything of note for Liverpool or WBA when he has started either. He'd get a dozen or so goals for us in The Championship but Mitrovic would get more imo. Nothing to do with 'age', I've just said I'd happily sign Carrick, but it is harder when he hasn't been playing as regular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 If Rafa stays, it would improve the quality of player we can attract. I don't know how knowledgeable he would be of players from that level though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's old and then there's old. NUFC wouldn't sign players over 28. That doesn't mean we should get players who are 34 and over now. Most players (apart from goalkeepers) are at the end of their career by 34. I'm all for signing players who are over 28. Anyone signed over 30 must get a suitable length contract though.

joeyt Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I'd be surprised if Carrick didn't think he has a couple more years left at the top level. Darren Fletcher has managed to resurrect his career and Carrick is much better than he ever was. Unless he's desperate to do a Downing, I'd be surprised to see him here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Yeah, haven't such much of him but do like Tom Carroll and Will Hughes (if Derby dont go up) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Would have Hughes and Ince from Derby. Need a RB - Trippier from Spuds would be good for that league if they'd sell him. No idea about the forward we need though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammys_Tekkers Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 We should be going all out for Rickie Lambert for a year he'd score 20 plus in that division without a doubt We need a spine to build around. Darrow,Lascelles,Carrick and lambert would do just fine I know plenty of West Brom fans, and they all think Lambert is past it. Looked out of his depth when playing the likes of Peterborough.

Parsley Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Talk of Danny Ings going out on loan to us? No sorry, Rangers from what I saw, just asking could he be an option? Absolutely. He's a class above the Championship, let alone the SPL. Would think he'll have plenty of PL clubs willing to take him on loan mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
