The worst left back I've seen in a long time. I honestly can't believe any of you thought I was being serious with my Jamal Lewis comment, by Christ he's an abomination of a LB, he's the first one we need to bin. Maybe stick with your gut instinct next time Edited 4 hours ago by GallowgatePigeon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing wrong with his ACL. The reports are out there. That is what they are asking for, as he wants to leave. It is what they paid to get him in the first place. Go and read them for yourself. Instead of speculating on how reasonable they will not be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago What I like about Lee Kang-In is his final ball; he's more of that creative player that we've sorely lacked. Great on dead ball and great movement into half spaces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAK Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago If true I’d be more than happy with Kang in Lee as he’s different to the wide players we have, more a David Silva type from what little I’ve seen of him. We’ve got pace and drive in the wings with Murphy, Barnes and Gordon. Players who can get a cross in (Murphy mostly, Barnes sometimes, Gordon less so). Can take long range shots (Murphy and Barnes) or cut in and curl in a shot (Gordon and Barnes). They’re all decent at varying levels running on to through balls and finishing (Barnes being the best). What we don’t have is a winger who can cut in and put in a through pass to Isak, play 1-2s around the edge of the box to set someone up or get a shot off or dribble past players ( we have runners not real dribbler’s though Barnes shows flashes at times). Would add a different dimension especially against teams that sit deep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 4 hours ago, GallowgatePigeon said: Listen Paul, it's not that hard, here's how it goes: GK - New no.1, that much is obvious. Keep Pope or Dubs as no.2, preferably Pope unless we can get a fee for him in which case Dubs is fine. For 3rd choice keeper, try to find a young up and coming English keeper. I know we have Ruddy & Gillespie for the quota thing but they're never going to play so it's a waste of a squad place, go get a keeper who can make something of himself here. Nearly forgot about Vlach. He's a bum. Get him to fuck. LB - Tino, Trips and Burn can cover in Halls absence. Ideally I'd want another real LB but we have more pressing issues this summer. Punt Targett. Jamal Lewis is a fantastic prospect who deserves another chance, start him most weeks. RB - Least of our concerns, providing Trippiers form doesn't fall off a cliff next season. Loan out Ashby or sell him to anyone willing to give us something close to what we paid for him. Krafth is still servicable in an emergency. CB - A purple RCB is priority, pace and youth is a must. Schar is ideal back up for RCB. Botman and Burn are sufficient for LCB. I wouldn't be against taking a chance on a young CB to bring through the ranks with a view of replacing Burn & Schar in the near term. Give Lascelles a painting of a Spitfire and a bouquet of roses and let him ride off into the Championship to see out his days in the lower leagues. CM - Longstaff needs moved on to whoever will take them. He's played his role but the fact of the matter is we have outgrown him and there's reasonable chance of fetching some decent money for him. Willock can go too if the right offer comes in, otherwise he's fine as a rotational piece. We need another 2 CMs (3 if Willock goes), one of them to be in the mould of Joelinton or to at least share his minutes is a must IMO, without Joelinton we lack physicallity and aggression, we need a wrecking ball to set the tone. Get the idea of selling Joelinton into the sea. Bruno, Tonali are unsellable, I wouldn't entertain selling Miley either unless someone offers a kings ransom. RW - Purple is a must. No projects, no fucking around, get us guranteed quality. Murphy is perfectly fine as back up. Get Shola to send Kuol to Partick Thistle or something like that. LW - We good. ST - Watching Wilson now is tragic, send him to the glue factory, he is absoluely finished. Bring in a good striker who is happy to play 2nd fiddle most of the time but will also get his fair share of starts, a Chris Wood type player essentially. Use Osula as a swiss army knife and play him accross the front 3. Sell Isak and we riot. To summarise: Needs in order of priority: RW(purple)>CB(purple)>GK(purple)>CM>ST>CM(project)>CB(project) Spend whatevers left in the piggy bank on youth prospect/PSR flips. I make it sound so simple don't I? You want Vlach to fuck who's bum ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSG are very reasonable with the fees they ask for once someone is ready to leave due to a lack of opportunities, and mostly look to just get their money back.

I'm not for a second saying he fits what we specifically want but it's more the age/experience/price range etc. I also am a big believer in looking at agents. I'm sure 5 of our signings have came from the same agent in England... including our manager for example. Edited 2 hours ago by STM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will be looking in the 40- lower 50 bracket. 21-26, experience for their age etc, internationals, at clubs who are vulnerable to us.
