Romey 1878 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I think thats the bare minimum we need in terms of numbers Agreed. So this summer is either going to be very exciting (with lots of new signings) or very worrying (because we haven't managed to bring enough in).

Newty82 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Martinez brought in 9 players with first team intentions last season. I'm not sure we will see that many this time, as unless someone leaves, we don't need another 9. Plus, from some of the things he has been saying, we will see more young players in the first team. So maybe 5 or 6 newbies plus some promoted youth. I have no worries at all. It will all come out once he returns from his world cup commentary, having chatted up a load of targets!

MC11 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Top striker is our priority, after that I don't see much left to spend. However the loan market is again going to be crucial. Hopefully the relationship with Barcelona will bare fruit again. 2 strikers: 1 permanent, 1 loan 1 central midfielder: permanent or loan 1 wide player: permanent or loan 1 RB: permanent If we get 3 of those at good quality, I'd be very happy. For me it's quality over quantity because those 3 loanees last year were very top end players. Replace like for like and we will do well. If we fail to replace quality with quality I see us having a long season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 While we're building relations with Barca, hoping for someone like Halilovic to come over, to help him learn about the physical side of the game. Really, really have no idea how our summer will pan out. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Looks like I could have been closer to the truth than I'd hoped. @ajfirr It's more complex for Everton mate. They need to discover what the intentions of Barry & Lukaku are first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 We signed Kone on 8th July last season and 6 others followed (sure he was our 1st signing) so let's not get too worried just yet. Matt and Quinn31 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'm starting to get a bit concerned over our lack of activity while others are picking off the best players. There's no way we can keep pace with The top 4 and united on spending we are just going to be blown away even though we have money. No need to be. The 'best' players being signed are well out of our price range anyway. We have to wait for the big spenders to buy their top targets, then like vultures go after their cast offs!

Newty82 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Might be one of few here...but judging by some links so far, Rodwell, Moses, Cleverly...I'd be happy with them in the squad so long as the deals were right. Of course not happy with they were the only players. But those plus a couple of key quality signings would be cool with me.

gethinO Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Really need to make a signing now. Premier league starts in over a month and at the moment we're 3 loan players down from last year and we're in the Europa. Plus it does my head in seeing Liverpool signing all these players before pre-season even starts. Origi and Markovic today to add to Lambert, Lallana and Can. Obviously seen Origi at the WC and he's useful but not really seen Markovic. Any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinez will have his targets and they will have had contact with repsective clubs. Its not like we are sitting on our hands, there are things to consider.

BlueBlood81 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 If Athleti are turning to Mandzukic let's go for Negredo. I would be over the moon with "the Beast" as our number 9! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badaids Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) I'd love Negredo too - wish we'd got him when it was rumoured that we were after him a couple of seasons ago. Can't see him leaving city, and we'd never afford him even if he did... Edited July 10, 2014 by badaids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 remember when we were linked with negredo a couple times in the past and moyes went for him. negredo did the old "i don't want to go to everton" routine and stayed put in spain until man city came calling. i don't think he's coming here or is even available. if anything i think jovetic would go. dzeko, aguero, negredo is an amazing strike force.

CMorley91 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I like Negredo a lot but Id guess all 3 out of Dzeko Jovetic and Negredo see that second striker spot up for grabs. Not sure Seamus would be as pleased to see him coming though... Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbanyNYToffee Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Alot has been written about targets and lack of signings etc. which I understand as a fan but at the end of the day I always go back to one thing. Roberto Martinez is our manager. I have the utmost faith in him to produce a successful transfer window, whether that happens July 14th or August 31st I don't particularly care. He refuses to overpay and I admire that about him. Here's a glimpse at his Wigan transfer history that will hopefully calm some folks down: In a four year period he made the following signings: 09/10: Diame, McCarthy (1m rising to 5m), V Moses 2.5m, J Gomez 1.7m he also sold cattermole for 6m and l.a. valencia for 16m 10/11: DiSanto 2m, J McArthur, Boselli 6.5m, Alcaraz Free 11/12: Al Habsi 4m, Maloney 1m, Beausejour 3m he also sold nzogbia for 9.5m 12/13: I Ramis 5m, A Kone 2.7m, Espinoza free he also sold v moses for 9m Last year he bought McCarthy for 13m and most went crazy. By December that looked like an invaluable addition at a great price. Boselli is the only huge miss, which for a club like wigan is a big statement. I realize those players are not great players but they kept wigan in the premier league for 3-4 more years than they should have been. Others can/will have their doubts but until Roberto's track record changes significantly I will back every signing wholeheartedly and I will be patient if he waits until deadline day.
