Shak Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I'm very wary of Shorey, could be a one-season wonder very easily. Bridge is pretty much a sure thing as he's proven, and Baines I reckon is quality too. After that, all our focus goes on Tevez... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon55544 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Baines Bridge or Shorey - a must. Out of the three? i think i would sign Baines Tough choice between Bridge and Baines for me. Yea i agree but Baines just edges forward because: His wages would be less, He'd be eager to move For Baines its a step up where as for Bridge its pretty much a step down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 baines from wigan or shorey from reading sell owen and buy gudjohnson for £5million less than we would sell owen for! we will need a right back after this then that should be our squad finished for next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I think Bridge is the better player but I would have some worries about injury problems/rustyness and Baines is still very young and has plenty of time to improve (although he is a very good defender). I agree with Shak about Shorey, didn't find out till quite recently he is 26. Obviously some players don't really break through till later in their careers (Drogba for instance) but it would make me wary about the lad being a one season wonder.

Guest Pie Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 A right back, a left back, a right winger, a left winger, a defensive midfield player and a playmaker. Oh and two centre halves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Would the people wanting Shorey have been happy in 2000 had we signed Michael Gray? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I'd sign Andreas Sørgård Olsen, he's looked class for his second division club in Norway this season and today he put up quite a performance against Norwegian top division side Vålerenga. He's got speed, apparently skill and he's still young meaning he could probably become rather good with the right coaching. And the fact that he's in such a low division in Norway means we could prolly get him for nothing and throw him out without any hassle if he couldn't prove good enough. And Rosenborg's Per Ciljan Skjelbred and Daniel Braaten I'd reckon would be good signings as well. And Bjørn Helge Riise, brother of John Arne Riise. Anyways, that's just my biased nationalistic opinion on players as It'd be the happiest day of my life if a Norwegian player put on the black and white shirt I do quite like when obscure players are signed and turn out to be class superstar players though, so yeah... I'm actually not too happy with big million signings as I'd rather have the club "create" players that would become players other big clubs would throw money at us for. I reckon that's the way we have to go this summer anyways as the already big and known players would prolly not sign for a non-europe club before we become an in-europe club.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Baines is 22, a regular for the Under 21s and has had two good seasons in the Premiership. Shorey is 27ish, has only played one season in the Premiership with the vast majority of his career being spent in the bottom two divisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iklgizmo Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 cant see bridge wanting or being allowed to leave to be honest. Unless chelsea get another LB then he will get games next season when cole is rested or when he is injured Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Baines has had one good season and one gash season, he was beyond woeful last season. Shorey's come up the leagues and hasnt looked out of place infact he's been one of Readings best players for 2 years has they've climbed into the top half of the Premiership. I wouldn't mind having either here but there's not much between them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 According to the Actim Index of effective players, the players we should go for, that we have a chance of getting, are: (?) - position in overall top 100 Left Backs Barry (would be difficult but villa dont offer him anything we dont) (8) Shorey (34) Centre Backs Dunne (46) Meite (73) Right Backs John OShea (87)? Liam Rosenior (47) Personally would take Dunne out of that lot as he is Mr Dependable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorey is 27ish, has only played one season in the Premiership with the vast majority of his career being spent in the bottom two divisions. Not unlike Rob Lee when he first came to Newcastle then? Havent seen enough of Shorey to form an opinion. Plenty people get out of their comfort zone (as Rob Lee himself put it) when circumstances change. The talent has to be there though, obviously.

Kev Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 i think we have a good strong midfield and dont need to look at any other players for that department we just need to concentrate on a left back, right back, centre back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I think someone in the typical Big Sam mould. i.e. a big strong tackler who will win the ball in the middle of the park. I think defence is the key area we need to strengthen, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be looking at other positions too... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
