Guest niina Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Right, even there is Mike Ashley the so-called millionaire, at the moment we still don't have the proof that he will give cash injection for Allardyce to buy players (MEAN massive cash injection), that's also probably why right now Allardyce work in tight budget (free transfer among others) Until now, we already bought: - Mark Viduka (striker) - Joey Barton (central midfielder) - David Rozehnal (central defender) - Geremi (right back, right midfielder, central midfielder?) If this condition continues until the transfer window close (we never know), and of course Allardyce can't buy players for EVERY positions, what positions that you aren't satisfied IF apparently Allardyce doesn't buy player(s) for those positions? (including the need of the backup) blueyes.gif First come in mind, definitely: left back (only Babayaro, whereas Huntington and Edgar aren't left back) Others: - Are you satisfied with the center back pair of Taylor and Rozehnal (with Ramage, Huntington and Edgar as the backup), or are you not satisfied if we don't buy another (experience?) center back? - Assuming Owen and Martins stay, are you satisfied if we don't buy any other forward (no Gudjohnsen etc)? - And how about center midfield (attacking and defensive), winger and right back position? (bear in mind 4-4-2 and Allardyce favorite 4-3-3 formation). Please discuss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Im confused. LB and CB are the glaringly obvious positions we are too weak to start the season without reinforcing. Although Id like a new right aswell, we could hobble along there, likewise with DM and an attacking midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Left back, attacking CM, and another CD. as parky says and doesn't it seem very suspicous that nothing has really been suggested in the left back/centre half departments. we'll have to trust work is being conducted away from the press. something,hopefully,we'll have to get used to.

Shak Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Left back, attacking CM, and another CD. Pretty much sums it up. Reckon we could do with a DM as well, considering we'll probably be playing 3 in the middle a fair bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon we could do with a DM as well, considering we'll probably be playing 3 in the middle a fair bit. We haven't signed Duscher yet and I've already said he'll do if we haven't got much to spend, so you can roll those eyes up your ass mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guinness Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Hopefully he's looking to add 2x LB, a RB, another CB, a creative midfielder and a DM if the Duscher trial doesn't work out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manorpark Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I personally think he only needs to strengthen the defence. We need (as Sam himself has said) two good players for every position. This means that defensively (including the goalkeeping position) we should have 10 good first-team quality (ideally 'better' than other teams have) players. How many do we already have? GOALKEEPER - 2 (Given/Harper, so NONE needed) CENTRE BACK (A) - 1 (Taylor, so ONE needed) CENTRE BACK (B) - 1 (Rozenhal, so ONE needed) RIGHT BACK - 1 (Geremi, so ONE needed) LEFT BACK - 0 (so TWO needed) So - we still need to acquire a total of FIVE new, top quality, defenders (in my view).

Shade OTT We need a top quality CB and LB, maybe at RB if Sam isn't comfortable with Solano, Geremi and Carr there. The other LB only has to be decent cover, if we even sign one that is. Reckon Babayaro will end up being 2nd choice. Possibly a 4th choice CB, but even then I'm not expecting anything more than a solid, but quite limited, player. We need a really top class LB and CB though. Marquez and Riise/Heinze would do nicely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Wherever he can get a free transfer by the look of it. Jesus Christ. --- Bare minimum: 2 CBs and a LB. A right-back and a defensive midfielder would be good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 2 Left Backs 2 Centre Halves 1 RB (depending on what allardyce intends to do with Geremi) A dogs-bollocks playmaker. And a club doctor who knows what they're doing and is capable of keeping Owen, Viduka and Martins fit for the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SwissMagpie Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 CB - Davies ,Boularouz LB - Baines RB - Someone DM - Appiah or Diarra(Hope Aldo wont sign,passed his peak) and if we have money so try to sign some AM at the end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Right back, two left backs, a centre back and some creativity in the centre of midfield. I'm agreeing with the Wullanater on this one. Strengthen up the back line with some quality and a bit of flair in the midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 22bnw Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 2 LBs and 2 CBs After saying yesterday we were only after defenders now, it looks like we are signing Aldo Duscher which is a bit surprising. But why not I think he's a good player? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToonGeneral Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 If Sam Plays 4-4-3 then we probably need: CB - Someone Experienced like Campbell CB/RB - Someone who can play both positions well like Beye LB - Baines or Shorey DM - Alou Diarra CM - Deco Deco, Diarra and Barton as a 3 would be amazing for us.
