c1982 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 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.

SimonButtle Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Nevermind, I read it wrong . It looked like you'd put Rodwell as a signing. tbh though Mark, considering the way he has played at times, he would be like a new signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonButtle Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 wathcing the manure vs blackpool, im not sure about Adam, but what about that Baptiste at the back for blackpool? he looked really decent, was getting stuck in loads and can pass it, can't imagine he would cost loads either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Owen took his goal well, maybe a good option for us... One well taken goal and he's a good option? sorry scouse, but its a definite no. If we play one up front, do you think Owen will last 10 minutes? He'd get battered, you need someone who can hold their own up-front hence why Beckford is on the floor far too often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play one up front, do you think Owen will last 10 minutes? He'd get battered, you need someone who can hold their own up-front hence why Beckford is on the floor far too often agreed, also we need someone with abit of strength up there, and movement, we don't need another small striker, neither Cahill or Saha are the biggest, and Beckford does get knocked off the ball sometimes quite easy, even Victor has the power but no skills and he is not the tallest either, Owen would be a complete waste of time i reckon, there was something yesterday somewhere about Bothroyd from Cardiff on a free, more the sort of player, but i have no idea how good he is Edited May 23, 2011 by theprisoner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 All the signs are actually pointing towards us signing him tbh, it's a lot like the rumours we were hearing about Beckford at the end of last season. I was dead against the Beckford and that's turned out OK, so I hope, if this is true, it turns out like that again. If we signed him surely that would mean Moyes is thinking of 442?

If we play one up front, do you think Owen will last 10 minutes? He'd get battered, you need someone who can hold their own up-front hence why Beckford is on the floor far too often I was thinking more along the lines of his proven ability, agreed he wouldnt fit with our current set up as a loan striker but he would be a good option to bring on or play with 2 uptop, surely between him a Saha we would get 20 games from them .. I think Owen could still do a job in the Prem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoroBlue Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Good shout on Luke Chambers. Seen him play a few times this season and he looks a top player to me. I thought he had another year on his contract though but could be wrong. Would like to see this happen, especially if we see Yobo and/or Heitinga leave.

Louis Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I imagine Bothroyd will be an Everton player next season too, too tempting for Moyes not to. A former England striker on a bosman should not be sniffed at, that applies to Owen too. Although his wage demands will be in the "finest" category.

Although his wage demands will be in the "finest" category. hmm, i would rather see that DJ Cambell from Blackpool if we are talking Bosmans, he's scored a decent amount of goals considering the team he is playing for, always looks hungry for the ball, reckon he would be a decent Bosman for us.

c1982 Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 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!!!
