Hughes would be nice, was hoping Derby didn't get promoted just so we had a chance.

 

His injury record though.  :scared:

 

Likely to only get worse considering how young he started and how many games he has already played. Quality player though. Cook looks decent. Baker and Chalobah linked too right? Both good Chelsea youngsters.

 

We will be linked with every young or promising championship player under the sun over the next 3 months, not to mention raiding the fringes of premier league teams. Plenty of players to get excited about.

I always thought Caulker was class but everyone seems to slag him at every opportunity now.

 

Klopp saw something. Benitez might harness his potential.

On FIFA I would always sign him as Colo's successor and I won everything going. Make of that what you will.

Is there any evidence that he'd play here besides the fact that he's from the area?

 

He is relocating his business interests to this area giving the impression that he is planning to move back here at some point.

 

 

 

 

It says in that article he is relocating from Jesmond!!!

Agger and Caulker have been the best names so far, either of them would be fantastic signings.

 

Striker should be our priority though.

 

We will need two CB's if we are binning Colo and Saylor, which we should be. Wouldn't expect Satka or Good to be stepping in either, likely out the door. Could see both of the above coming in if Mbemba is off, don't think he will be though. Would prefer Dunk and Agger. Agger would be fantastic.

 

Hope the Iorfa links are true regardless of keeping Janmaat. We need a decent young backup..

The signings we make will depend entirely on who is going to leave, because no matter how well equipped you believe the squad is for the Premier League, it's easily good enough to compete in the Championship. Obviously it's not perfect by any means, but we need to be buying players that can also step up if we are promoted.

Townsend really worked out well for us. Just wondering if there are any other players in similar predicaments that we can offer a chance to play regularly for us, and really fulfil their potential.

 

One that comes to mind is Victor Moses who Chelsea have really messed about with the constant loans. Wouldn't mind picking him up, as it doesn't look as though West Ham will be signing him now.

didn't he sign a new 4 year deal before he joined west ham?

Simpson on loan and Lovenkrands. Zurab and Harewood came in September on loan I think.

 

Pancrate was signed in about November time and Best, Willo and Routledge came in January

when you look at those early season signings, only really lovenkrands that had significant influence over a number of games.

mainly the relegated squad that got us through the first half of the season. no real big changes were needed.

If we stayed up, a striker would be essential. But Mitrovic, Perez and Armstrong will be an amazing collection at this level.

 

None of them are guaranteed to be amazing at this level. They haven't played at this level.

Neither has Sergio Aguero. Shola Ameobi has though. Which would be the better signing?

Tbf, Armstrong has barely played in a level above the Championship and you could argue that Perez and Mitrovic failed in the PL (as they both featured fairly heavily in a team that was relegated), hence not being proven.

Not saying that I think they will struggle in the Championship, in fact quite the opposite, but it's not that daft to say that they are unproven.

Aguero is unarguable an amazing player though, obviously he'd obliterate that league :lol:

 

There's players who just work in the Championship though and experience in the league definitely helps. If we want to play it safe we'd be best off going for a 'Championship striker' than risking Perez, Mitrovic, Armstrong and some other unknown entity, we have little idea how they'll turn out.

It was an admittedly stupid and extreme example, but I just can't understand this apparent concept that we should be looking to employ a manager and players that AREN'T good enough to be at the highest level. Doesn't make any sense to me.
