jofanon Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I Would Love Us To Sign That Adam Johnson The Young Lad From Boro And.... Toomy Huddlestone. I Think He Would Be A Great Replacement For Carsley. Same Type Of Player Isnt He? I Think Huddlestone Offers More Than Carsley AswelL. More Creative On The Ball And A Better Passer Of The Ball. Would Give Us Height And Strengh In The Midfeild Also! I Think We Need To Spend Around 30 Million In The Summer To Keep Us Moving In The Right Direction. Some Good Names Been Thrown Around. Like The Sound Of Hoyte Aswell At Right Back. Great At Getting Forward O And Also I Would Love Us To Sign That Mexican Is It Or Argintinain? The 6ft 4 Fella! Forgotten His Name I Think Hes Young Aswell Why have you written every word in Pascal case? Its a little strange! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoblue Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Some thoughts, We do need a bigger squad of first team capable players. The fans and the club are going to want to be better next year, and at this stage that means at least a cup final if not 4th or higher. Liverpool may well, fingers crossed, but mired in their ownership mess which may hinder them over the summer and I think if we somehow got our shit organized we could put together a very solid squad for next season. I think we can assume AVM and Gravo are already packed and just waiting for the bus. Think we might keep Valente around a bit longer for cover though. Arshavin - Probably a better option than Bentley if for nothing else than he's not the heir apparent to Beckham and so won't come with that premium on his fee. He'll also have been playing now in the Russian league and so will be fit and sharp come August. I would be well please if we got him for anything less than 12. Lennon - Do think he could leave in the Summer, not giving Ramos what he wants and there is a genuine issue with his crossing and finishing. No doubt the pace would be a welcome change, but I don't think he'd be worth more than 5, and I don't think Spurs will let him go for less than 9. Adam Johnson - Seems like a good prospect, maybe a bit lighweight? We need some size and strength in the midfield. Manny - For 6 - 8 million we should take him, which I think might be his price if Koeman keeps the job, keep your fingers crossed they (Vallencia) win the Copa Del Rey. He hasn't had the best season but, as I've said elsewhere, but he's been hampered by injury. I think we'll see him shine over the run in. Hope I don't eat my words on that one. Pienaar - Should be done by now, unless what Stevie is saying in the papers is somehow for show. We're being made to look like muppets on this one. He's had a hand in most of our great plays this season and has only made a few errors which have more or less stopped as the season's gone on. Huddlestone - Like the kid. Can't understand why Ramos doesn't play him game in game out as Spurs seem to suffer without him in the side. He's perfect for picking out Berbatov and Keane for them, and I'm sure he'd pick out the Yak with aplomb. However, as a straight swap for Cars I'm not sure he's ideal. Similar issues to Manny in that respect. They can both do the defensive job but it's not ingrained into their bones as it is with Cars. I just don't see Huddlestone nipping in and taking balls away from opposing strikers. Also I'm not sure he's learned how to use his size to maximum effect. Still I'd like him, but think we'd need another enforcer in the middle. 6 million would do for me. Bradley - Don't think we could go wrong here. This is the player that can replace Carsley and I also reckon he's got a better sight for goal. Neat passer, keeps it on the ground and to teammates and wins challenges in the middle. 5 -7 million would be a steal. Derbyshire - We need an extra striker or two. None of you need to be told why. Is Matt ideal, no. If he was available for 3 million would that be worth it? I'll wager yes. Hoyte - We've got the left and center of defense well enough covered but we need someone like Baines for the right so that we can spread the field and threaten from both flanks. I've not seen Hoyte play enough to say we should go straight in for him. A loan seems prudent here. Josy Altidore - At the Red Bulls in NY, he's the great hope of the American national team at all of 18. He's got size, pace, strength, good in the air, and can finish. I shudder to think about the Yak and him together. The MLS is a real bitch with the way their contracts work and if they don't like the offer they can just turn it down (it's not really up to the team/player, but the league) Taylor Twellman, who I despise, for New England is nearly 30 now but the MLS wouldn't let him go abroad b/c they didn't like the deal, and it was for a couple of million. Anyway, I think Altidore will be coming to Europe soon, probably for this next season. I'd be surprised if we had the resources to really go in for this, but I think he'll really excel in the Premiership. Probably looking at at least 8 maybe more like 12 million.

adamsmith69 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 i remember bringing up huddlestone earlier in the season to replace carsley and everyone thought it was a stupid suggestion. I think he is a very good player, who would add alot to our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Huddlestone wouldnt cover the ground that Carsley does across the back four Left to Right, Huddlestone usually just sits in the centre of the pitch spraying passes, although he has lost some weight he is still too heavy as far as i'm concerned, does'nt do enough work, and he cant head a ball. So its a no to Huddlestone from me, whatever the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueboy122 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Well We Are All Entitled To Our Own Opion! However I Do Think That Spurs Would Let Him Go For Around 3-4 Million. There Will Be A Massive Clear Out At The End Of The Season At The Lane I Should Think. I Think Chimbonda Will Be On His Way Aswell!! Maybe We Should Go For Him.... Hotyee??

I see him practically every week seeing as he plays in our league. He hides in the big games. Even the Celtic support dont rate him highly anymore.

zequist Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I Think Chimbonda Will Be On His Way Aswell!! Maybe We Should Go For Him.... Hotyee?? Hell. No. Even if he hadn't already proven over and over again that his ego is bigger than his talent, I wouldn't want him anywhere near our squad after the way he treated Wigan - I wouldn't trust him not to pull the same crap with us.

Ynox Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 We should buy Thiago Neves, he currently plays for Fluminense, Brazil. Great midfielder with a great left foot. Instead of spending money on Fernandes or Käsltrom, buy him. He's someone with a lot of potential, and in a few years will be worth some serious money. Another one is Renato Augusto, but I think Man U or Liverpool are already getting ready to buy him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the whole celtic squad shite except maybe Boruc...Naka lost of form since his came back from injury. But either way, he did a few tricks here and there that won them the game..St Mirren game? They need to rest him...they are playing him to death! I read Celtic forum once a while..i tell ya though, those so-called "supporters" are nuts!....they bash a team even they are winning the SPL LOL Edited April 12, 2008 by myselfdotcom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toffeeblue1987 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 This is my first post so I hope I get it right... I think we could do with buying a right back, left footed winger, and another center mid. Pieenar - 3mil - I dont need to comment on why we need to buy him Fernandes - 8-10 mil is a good buy for us. He hasn't been as good as his first spell but he's suffered a lot of small injuries that has hampered his form. He's starting to look a lot better in games. Stuart Downing - 8-10mil - I realy think a Downing type player is crucial for us to take the next step and improve our team. I think Downing, although he's recently signed a new contract, is ready to make the step up. I cant see him playing for Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal or the shite. He'd offer us great service, pace, and an eye for goal and he's an english player. Ideal signing. Ryan Taylor - 4mil - Hes had some great reviews from Wigan and he's got amazing fitness. The lad can run all day. An evertonian who's good enough for us. Luke Young - 4mil - another option for right back. How about daren bent at spurs, he was class at charlton and hel score goals if he plays! and we'l fight fight fight with all our might for the boys in the royal blue jersey!

aaron Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I'd take darren bent yeah, good player, good finisher. Could work well with yak. Ryan taylor is a dont know from me, we could do better i think. Downing i dno again, looks the part at boro but its boro ffs, always shit for england so its prob a no from me. Luke young - better than our rb but still a no, we can sign better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Yeah there has been some good players mentioned. I like Huddlestone, great passer of the ball not sure what he's like in the tackle though. Before last week i would have said go for Walcott but his price has rocketed after that run. I think we should have a look at the kids at Crystal Palace coming through. They have a couple of 16-17 year olds who are playing and they are supposed to be shit hot. Also the kid at Cardiff Aaron Ramsey 17 year old playmaker. I still want Fellini and Delgado pure class from what i've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueboy122 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I Would Love Us To Sign Darrent Bent!! Maybe Swap Him For Aj Or Something? For The Right Back Position I Like The Young Lad From Arsenal Justin Hoyte I Dont Really No About The Midfeild But I Do No We Will Need Maybe 3 Or 4? 2 Centre Mids Wingers 3 If And When We Sign Pienaar!

bennycake Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 lucho gonzalez (6ft el commandante)- replace fernandes kallstrom(6ft & left footed) - replace gravesen bradley(6ft box -box)- replace vidarsson arshavin(pacy & direct & plays left/right mid or forward)- replace mcfadden downing(pacy & direct)- replace shandy apart from replacing stubbs i cant see how defence is a priority.gosling will replace neville/hibbo in time. moyes has said midfield is priority & that he wants height & pace. he also said after we signed yakubu that we are now looking at players of that calibre & price range. i know im dreaming but youve got to havent you!.

trash916 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Seen Hoyte's name bandied about on this thread. Definitely you need to sort out the RB position, but Hoyte isn't the answer for the Toffees. Everton should and will compete with Liverpool next season for 4th, and to do so you shouldn't be looking at a player like Hoyte to come into the starting XI - he's pretty pacy and a nice lad but defensively gets ripped to shreds and is as pedestrian in attack as Phil Nev or Hibbert. Chimbonda would be a possibility - unsettled at Sp*rs now Hutton is 1st choice and a pretty decent player. Think signing Pienaar is a must - looks like you're sealing a £2.2million deal - fucking bargain! Then ye - Arshavin- that calibre of player is what Everton should be looking at I think - there is no reason why the Toffees cant attract this high quality of player.

Piney Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I feel we need to get a top quality winger and a top quality forward, and then Bulk up the midfield (Personally believe Huddlestone would be fantastic) GET RID OF JOHNSON Give Anichebe more of a chance- I think he is quicker than Johnson, far stronger and simply more of threat. Perhaps replace Osman too? NOt too sure about that one. What about Pederson of Rovers or maybe Jo of CSKA Moscow, he scored 29 goals in 51 games. Despite the difference between the Russian and British league, I feel he would be the kind of quality we need to move forward, not some ify purchases on Darren Bent or Nakamura. ****Is it just me or is Moyes overcautious with his subs?? Its always 70/80 mins, like against Villa, Anichebe had no time to effect the game, meanwhile Osman had done nothing, nor had Johnson.**** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 ^^^^ I disagree with so much of what your saying. Get rid of Osman! And pederson is not a good replacement, he is painfully inconsistant.No thanks. Also I don't think that Anichibe is improving as much as we had hoped, don't think he warrants a starting place as you might be suggesting P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToffeeFan Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I would like to see us definately sign Arshavin, I haven't seen much of him but everytime I have he has been very good. Fernandes as well needs to be signed, Jo sounds like a good player but the price could be too much. I'd like to see a new right back but I can't think of any after all it's Moyes job not mine maybe Lahm from Bayern Munich but that may be unrealistic. Michael Bradley seems like a good box to box player who could turn into a very good player. I would also like to see one of Dudu/Cana/Kallstrom/M'Bia. Giles Barnes would also be a good signing, young, English and fast which would give us something different from the bench. _________________Howard_________________ Lahm_______Jags________Lescott________Baines Arteta__Fernandes__Cana/Dudu__Cahill__Arshavin __________________Yak_____________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Dont know what this fixation is about Huddlestone, he has either got a drink problem or a diet problem, cos the guy is still 2 stone overweight, Sure he can pick a nice pass but his workrate is shit, just ambles about in midfield. Not the sort of player Davey would be interested in and i hope we aim a bit higher and better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagnol at bayern however may be realistic - proven french int. okay 31 but he's still got it in him. £2m I'd expect - think I saw a bit ago too that he'd fancy a move to prem.

jofanon Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Darren Bent is a good shout although I'm not sure how much Spurs would sell him for considering his £16m price tag. A Bent/Yak frontline would be pretty sweet especially with Vaughan coming back. I've lost patience with AJ and I don't think Anichebe is going to make it. I'm not sure we need to buy a new right back, I've been saying for ages that Jags is our man there. I've seen them a couple of times and thought he looked good. I think we need to find a way to get Baines back in the side as he's a great little player. I think Moyesy will do this but only if he baulks midfield up a bit. Arshavin and Appiah for me in midfield. I've seen reports for Neville going to Sunderland but even though I'm not his greatest fan I'd keep him about. His versatility is useful in such a small aquad. We do need to offload Shandy, AJ and maybe one or two more. If we buy two more midfielders Osman might struggle to make the bench to be honest.

Raccyboy Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 couple of good points made above: 1) anichebe will never be the player so many hope he will. he is slow, lacks basic skill and toughness, and does absolutely nothing for the side and we really should offload asap to one of the promoted side who might just believe that he's worth 4/5 million. maybe offer him to west brom and see if they bite. not a big aj fan, but can't believe people still think we should keep victor over him. 2) osman has been fine and a hard worker over the past few years. but if we really are looking at moving up a notch and really pushing for top4 he is not the type of player we need. while he can still be part of the squad for a while, we should never be pencilling him into our 1st choice starting 11 unless there is a big injury problem.

GMorrison183 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) maybe put a cheeky bid in for villa too. Has there ever been a cheeky bid that worked out? It's too hard to predict who would be on the out for us; possibly Yobo? Baines has to start getting games or we are going to lose him to another team which puts us in an incredibly strong position at CB. I expect to see the bottom of the roster to have some turning over (VDMeyde, Nuno Valente although he really isn't that awful for a spot starter, Carsley to Derby, etc.). Having Kallstrom and Arshavin in our midfield would be a dream. I honestly don't know how we would organize the midfield, ideally Pienaar and Arteta wouldn't play side by side though. ---------------------Howard-------------------- Neville------Yobo----------Lescott-----Baines Arteta----Arshavin----Kallstrom------Pienaar ----------------------Cahill--------------------- ---------------------Yakubu-------------------- Reserves GK: Stefan Wessels D: Tony Hibbert D: Phil Jagielka D: Dan Gosling (possibly Jack or is it too soon?)
