Rupp on £32.5k week

 

Interesting table.
Well worth a look

 

Ryan is only 30 yrs old.
Get him on a free,reasonable wages,could get 4-5 yrs out of him
We need experienced CD's in this league

 

I would rather use our youth conveyor belt than bring anyone new in .

Famewo is next in line , we also have Bushiri out on loan that may be good enough next season .

I would prioritise a decent right back and possibly a keeper .

 

Our current CB's, Zimm, Hanley and Gibson are 27, 28 and 27. Do we need an older player or invest in a faster, younger, not youth, player to develop. Bennett is now 30 and I guess he has not got faster since he left us.

 

Virgil van Dijk is 29.
You can't get better than Virgil.
You don't play against extreme pace in this league.
Experience is what you need

 

That's last year though. Weren't they getting their wages halved after relegation?

 

Omobamidele is another decent youth prospect, just 18 and playing for the U23s already .

 

Even if they do have a relegation clause, after Naismith I certainly hope so at £25 k or half salary there won't be many lining up to take Drmic off our hands .

Hugill can barely get any minutes and we are already out of the League Cup so we look to be lumbered with the most expensive U23 player for this season possibly next .

He would probably be quite good at this level , I'm guessing a loan deal where we pay some of his wages would be the only option to offload .

 

I'd take Van Dijk. But Bennett ain't no Van Dijk.

 

Ronaldo is 35 and still pretty good , I wouldn't particularly want to sign a 35 year old striker either .

 

Why not ? Knows the club, has experience and is (atm) fit. If Klose goes our CB options are Gibson, Zimbo and a half fit Hoadley. I definitely think we need experienced back-up and Ryben would fit that bill.

 

A 1 year Bosman could work, Basel looking at Klose

 

For me it's never good to go back & anyway I'd want someone who's going to increase in value.

 

That does not apply to Switzerland (Klose could be returning to Basel and Drmic is Swiss) or other countries like Turkey I think (where Trybull has been linked). We now have 23 players who count in the 25 squad limit (over 21). That drops to 22 if Klose leaves. Will we sign new players at CB and LB to fill the gaps? I hope so, but it may depend on Drmic, Leitner and Trybull leaving first.

 

If we spend 10% of what we sold Godfrey for we could probably pick someone up .

 

Phil Hoadly - now there's a blast from the past, but he must be getting on now.

 

You are correct about Switzerland Rick, my apologies; their window closes on 12th October. Turkey, on the other hand, is in line with the likes of Germany, closing today. (FIFA has a complete list of dates for every FIFA member country.)

 

Agreed , but we aint spending £60M on Bennett.
