Well it'd take a Shane Long wonder show for him to be playing prem league football with Reading next season- he hasn't done much today...

Given the choice of Doyle or Long I'd take Doyle but I can see the similarities - obviously we'd need money for either!!!

Beaten to it - I knew it was to do with his b'day but didn't know his D.O.B so was looking it up!!!

If King Louis wasn't ready to take that mantle, what makes beckford a better choice? i'd rather see Saha wearing it :/

Saha was number 9 when we first signed him as no.8 wasn't available - he prefers no.8. as his D.O.B is 08.08.78.

How long did it take to come up with that? someone has too much time on their hands...

About 5 minutes - as long as it would take me to have a cuppa and a wank - so I think I used my time productively!!!

thats the fucking point lol, and im quite concerned that you think Barton can improve our squad, i never thought we were that bad?

Have not watched him this season? He's easily out performed each of our midfielders - so yes he would improve us.

interesting if true! Nice to hear we're making an effort if true, plus they're not has beens!

but sad times if true and he'd still like to join the barcodes over us!

Would be an excellent signing - he's been at least as good as scott parker this season, he's not had the same publicity though because of his jaded past, that seems past him now and he looks to be fulfilling the promise shown at man.city when he first broke onto the scene.

I can see why people wouldn't want him, as he has been a horrible little turd in the past but to be honest I'd have Fred and Rosemary West up front if it meant our team was better off.

So a big yes from me!!!

All this fun and Daves not posted once haha! Oh and you cant have a chocolate football team without having the under-rated sometimes forgotten not always to peoples taste Caramac!

Jamie Caraghermac would be a good addition to the line-up but he's one of them!

Our summer transfer targets...

................................Andy Mars(-Bar)shall....................................

.........Mario (Dairy) Milkiott..Kit(-Kat) Symmons..Keith Curle(y Wurley).........

Alberto (Kinder) Bueno..Sean Thornton('s)..Danny Cad(bury's Cream Egg)amarteri..Aero Lennon

.............Dwight York(i)e.....Jonathon Reis(e's).....Emile Hershey's...............

I still havent got over them relegating revels a few seasons ago! Now theyre picking between munchies and smarties what the fuck is the world coming to! Im ringing my MP over this one...... And no Forlans crap keep Arteta and go for Elmander who was released by Bolton earlier today!

It's been strongly rumoured he's off to Gala - so much so it seems pretty definate.

Back on topic... we need Reese's at Goodison Park - I'd dip that in my half-time tea!

57,736 - my London based geography let me down!!!

He and Jags would make a cracking partnership for the next 5 seasons or so - isn't he a red? They'd surely be interested too...

13 league goals this season isnt too bad tbh, I quite like DJ Campbell, however I think he is the type of striker we already have - Beckford.

Too similar to Beckford in too many ways - don't mind Beckford but wouldn't want a replica version!

He's got dreadlocks, sign him up!

Ruud Guillit was my favourite player growing up and I based ability on dreadlocks from then on... it worked with Larsson, Van Hoijdonk and T.Sinclair but hit a snag when Regi Blinker came along!!!

Very true. Wilshere will be missed I suppose but Carroll I doubt it.

Carroll bosses some of the most experienced defenders about, he'd would absoloutly annihilate centre backs at u21 level - both will be massively missed and it's disappointing they're not expected to play!

This Moyes to Villa rumour comes from Villan/Kopite Stanley Collymore - he spurts it out every other sentence on his shows without anything to back-up his suggestions apart from "you tell me... could Everton go and spend £24m on a striker?"

Forgot to put Reo Coker on that list - another free - would be a better option than Moussi but again not very exciting but it's only a matter of days until we're linked!!!

There were rumours in the paper that Ba has walked free of his West Ham contract - odd one considering they paid £?m for him in Jan

Jags by an ants penis...

Him and Distin were solid

Baines just didn't stop

Arteta looked so comfortable on the left

Beckford's goal was Weah-esqe!

Osman continued his recent form

Heitinga was at them all game

Everyone else who I didn't mention also played well

When has Duffy said this? From what I have seen I think he will be class but may be a late bloomer like Ossie, didn't really break into the first team untill he was 22.

I remember his full debut at Molienux - goal after a couple of mins. I was sat in Wolves end and was swiftly moved on! (I managed to stay composed this season!)

Why would we sign Rodwell?

Eh?

Let's face it we're not going to have a lot to play with this summer even if we sell so here's some players who would be decent/realistic additions in my opinion within our modest budget...

GK-

Westwood - free - competition for Howard

Green - sure I've read he's free - replacement should we sell Howard

Full backs -

Torres - free - only on the basis we've been linked

Naughton - £? - has played well for Leicester (would prefer Walker but he'll no doubt be in and around spurs starting XI)

Little - £? - young Peterborough attacking RB, looks very good whenever I've seen him

Clyne - £? - Palace RB, maybe as part of a deal taking Vaughan to them

Centre Backs -

Upson - free - if we sold Distin for a few mil then he would be worth bringing in short term to invest in other areas

Chambers - free - has looked decent whenever I've watched Forest

Mancienne - £? - his versatility anywhere across the back 4 is appealing - still think he'll turn out decent

Wingers -

Larsson - free - not a huge fan but he can deliver a quality ball from the right and a set piece, which we lack

Vaughan - free - hard working 'Moyes-type player'

McGugan - £? - looks like Forests star player, tricky and lively

Centre Mid -

Moussi - free - only put him here as we've been linked, personally think he looks very clumsey

Scholes - £? - yes Paul Scholes - he wants more game time - we could offer it here especially if we were to lose felli or rodwell - ridiculous maybe but what a player to have short term for Barkley/Baxter etc to learn from

Strikers -

Klose - free - not a chance in my opinion but he would be a class signing for a couple of seasons

Nugent - free - why not? He's not too old... he's lost his way a little but if we lose Vaughan then he would give his all for the team he supports

Bothroyd - free - not too dis-similar to Zamora at Fulham - that seems to have worked out - no way my first choice but he'd be a good 'bully' type striker to bring on late in games

Borini - free (with tribunal) - would be a good little signing in my opinion

Please take this apart/ agree with some and add own suggestions. It's clear we need squad players and it's clear we are going to lose some of our current fringe players... obviously if we sell for a decent fee I'd expect bigger signings but some of these would be decent addtions.

Thoughts?

No chance of happening but why not go for...

..........Howard..........

Coleman..Jags..Duffy..Baines

.....Rodwell..Neville.......

Baxter.....Osman.....Gueye

...........Velios..........

A nice mix in my opinion (and great experience) - I think most of us can predict our line-up though!

I'm quite gutted I'll miss it all to be at our game tbh .

I'm still 50/50 over going to our game - Survival Sunday will be epic! I may just get a box and get best of both worlds :crying smiley:
