Ant1979 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Nugent is out of contract in a few weeks. Back up striker / squad rotation? He's an Everton fan apparently. Wasn't given a consistent run out in the PL for Portsmouth, but perhaps he's found his level in the Championship and wouldn't cut it at the higher level?

Lowensda Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Not quite good enough for me. Similar to Andy Johnson in terms of ability. Championship is his level. Matt and Ant1979 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant1979 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Not quite good enough for me. Similar to Andy Johnson in terms of ability. Championship is his level. Yeah pretty much thought so even as I was typing it. I guess when someone is potentially on a free it always makes me consider it more easily and rationalise it being a better idea than it really is. Worst case scenario being it doesn't quite work out and could get a couple of million back in 12 months time (Beckford) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 With the talk about Martins-indi to Everton, id like a double raid for Bruno and Jordy. Think Jordy would do well at Everton, under Martinez. Just the type of player we should be looking at. GoodisonRoad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Don't think Jordy Clasie has the physicality for the PL. Fine technical ability, but he's short, light-weight, not fast and he doesn't look like he has great stamina. I wouldn't bet on him making it here.

JoeQuince Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I would looooove to see Clasie/McCarthy as a partnership in the future. I think bringing in Clasie and having Barry back next year to split time would be perfect for us and for Clasie's development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeQuince Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Also, while we are at it, I think Jean-Paul Boetius is an excellent candidate to be a long-term replacement for Pienaar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'd take Richards. That drops their English quota dramatically. Don't be surprised if Lallana ends up there. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msloan78 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'd quite possibly take all 4 on as we will definitely need the additional bodies next season. Little bit of Bobby Love could see Richards, Rodwell and Sinclair live up to the hype that surrounded them previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBlood81 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 What happened with Richards? He was playing for england when he was a kid then just seemed to dissapear. Was it injurys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Manny Fernandes is on a free this summer, I wonder why we havn't been linked to him at all (from what I've seen anyway). Wouldn't mind him back at Goodison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodisonRoad Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Just saw that David Villa is set to join Lampard at NYC. I think he'd be a great signing for us. Still only 32 so has at least 1 or 2 more years in him and he played his part in Atletico's season last season. Wealth of experience (In Europe as well), free transfer. No brainer for me, would be a boss signing. Just depends on his wage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No brainer for me, would be a boss signing. Just depends on his wage. His wages are going to be enormous at NYCFC. It's Man City's owners, and, with the MLS's wage rules, they can pay the shit out of a few designated players, while the rest of the team's payroll is regulated by a salary cap. So, Villa is probably going to make more money than he ever has before. Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msloan78 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Swansea have had a bid accepted for Luc Castaignos (sp). Heard a few good things about him. Don't know if he'd be worth a dig at £6.5m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efc1111 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I remember us being linked with Luc Castaignos 2-3 seasons ago, in terms of a loan deal when he wasn't getting game time in Italy, so our scouting staff should be well aware of him.

Lowensda Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Options that woul show ambition and nerve. Would cost a bit more but would be excellent additions to the squad. These guys would cost a lot more, but there's some potential 'worldies' in there...they need game time and at present (3/4) aren't getting it at their parent clubs. Defensive Mid http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/emre-can/profil/spieler_119296.html All would need convincing, hope that first team football is a draw! So....Emre Can looks likely to join the Shite! £10m. There was a £4m bargain there before.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a trial here a couple of seasons ago along with a couple of other clubs and didn't get picked up and his record for Milan is non existent On face value and the above he's clearly not good enough...

Matt Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Another kid with masses of potential. Perfect for RM to showcase his man management skill.

Yeah, I'd like to believe that every young talent wants to play for us, but there are so many variables such as pay, training facilities, city, club reputation, manager, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Not seen any hate regarding the lad tbh well certainly non since his name was brought back up. It's no guarantee on gauging success here but his record in a pretty poor Serie A of no goals in nearly 30 games doesn't fill me with confidence, for me he just doesn't seem good enough.

JoeQuince Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Yeah. No hate for him. Seems we dodged a bit of a bullet with him then, anyhow. He's also had a few character issues, hasn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
