Agree but disagree. Is he the player that we want with a striker like Matty Fryatt? Hmmm I wouldn't say so. Is he the player that will just score goals for fun... probably yes. So jury's out for me. After watching him a few times... Sam Vokes has to be worth a punt for. Tall, powerful, has an eye for goal AND is like 5th choice at Wolves. Anyone agree?
Out of King, Brady and Mannone I would only keep Mannone. There'll be some decent freebies this summer, I'd certainly have Anthony Gerrard if he wanted to come, that way if a big bid came in for Chester then we'd have a decent replacement. Midfield is a problem, we have 2 sitters (McKenna and Evans) we should really have one player that can do that role so the other central midfielder can push further forward. We needs better winger in the mould of Jerome Thomas/Jobi Macanuff/Kebe/Whittingham ours don't create enough. A n other striker x 2 not sure who. It a Jon Parkin type player would fit the bill perfectly if NB is going to persist with this **** formation. In fact Parkin might be a cheap option if the fat **** could lose some weight and be arsed. We then need another striker maybe a Rodriguez or Kyle Lafferty compliment our dwarfs up front next season and give us options on the bench (7 subs back for next season).
Exactly. Vokes is ok but Allams have probably said you only play one up front and you have 4/5 forwards now why buy another one.
Vokes is ok, that's why we need to sell Simpson, Ghilas (I'd keep him) & Mclean. Give us a fresh start with strikers
I personally would like Hammill and Henderson and make sure we sign King and Mannone, not bothered about Brady though
I'm not sure that we're still after Hammill after rejecting the chance to sign him. However, I would love Henderson but can't see us getting him.
Im pretty sure i read a quote from Kenny Jackett awhile back saying Henderson was desperate to sign for them and come back down south. Cant see him wanting to come to us for that reason.
Although I rate Gerrard a partnership of Gerrard and Hobbs would have no pace and there have been quite a few times this season when Chester has got back to cover Hobbs or made it back after one of his own mistakes. If Daws is still first choice next season we would have 3 out of our back with non existent pace and we'd get found out, that is if Chester was to leave and we replaced him with Gerrard.
This is a list of Premier League and Championship players who are out of contract this summer. I think if we start early enough, we'll stand a good chance of securing them: Ivan Klasnic Striker, 32 Yrs Jonathan Woodgate Defence, 32 Yrs Zdenek Grygera Defence, 31 Yrs James McFadden Striker, 28 Yrs Stephen Kelly Defence, 28 Yrs Brad Guzan Goalkeeper, 27 Yrs Hendry Thomas Midfield, 27 Yrs Deydrick Boyata Defence, 21 Yrs Owen Hargreaves Midfield, 31 Yrs Emile Heskey Striker, 34 Yrs Chris Kirkland Goalkeeper, 30 Yrs Danny Murphy Midfield, 35 Yrs Kevin Davies Striker, 34 Yrs Fitz Hall Defence, 31 Yrs Ferre Bodde Midfield, 29 Yrs Fabio Aurélio Defence, 32 Yrs Peter Lövenkrands Striker, 32 Yrs Ricardo Fuller Striker, 32 Yrs Marton Fülöp Goalkeeper, 28 Yrs David Jones Midfield, 27 Yrs Michael Kightly Midfield, 26 Yrs Andy Johnson Striker, 31 Yrs Pavel Pogrebnyak Striker, 28 Yrs Danny Guthrie Midfield, 24 Yrs Somen Tchoyi Striker, 28 Years Kyle Naughton Defence, 23 Yrs Paul Scharner Midfield, 32 Yrs Ledley King Defence, 31 Yrs Heurelio Gomes Goalkeeper, 31 Yrs Lucacz Fabianski Goalkeeper, 26 Yrs Gretar Steinsson Defence, 30 Yrs Federico Macheda Striker, 20 Yrs Michael Owen Striker, 32 Yrs Sylvain Distin Defence, 34 Yrs Wayne Bridge Defence, 31 Yrs Zat Knight Defence, 31 Yrs Marc-Antoine Fortuné Striker, 30 Yes Tuncay Sanli Striker, 30 Yrs Steven Reid Defence, 31 Yrs Nicky Shorey Defence, 31 Yrs Sam Ricketts Defence, 30 Yrs Jordi Gómez Midfield, 26 Yrs Denis Stracqualursi Striker, 24 Yrs Steven Caulker Defence, 20 Yrs Ryo Miyaichi Striker, 19 Yrs Martin Petrov Midfield, 33 Yrs Robert Green Goalkeeper, 32 Yrs Gonzalo Jara Defence, 26 Yrs André Amougou Midfield, 27 Yrs Julien Faubert Midfield, 28 Yrs Stephen McManus Defence, 29 Yrs Erik Huseklepp Striker, 27 Yrs George Elokobi Defence, 26 Yrs Tomasz Kuszczak G.lkeeper, 30 Yrs Boaz Myhill Goalkeeper, 29 Yrs Danny Collins Defence, 31 Yrs Matthew Connolly Defence, 24 Yrs Iago Falqué Midfield, 22 Yrs Danny Wilson Defence, 20 Yrs George McCartney Defence, 30 Yrs Frédéric Piquionne Striker, 33 YrsN'Daw Midfield, 27 Yrs Grant Leadbitter Midfield, 26 Yrs Jay Rodriguez Striker, 22 Yrs Justin Hoyte Defence, 27 Yrs Vicente Midfield, 30 Yrs David Marshall Goalkeeper, 27 Yrs Stephen Dobbie, Striker, 29 Yrs Oliver Norwood Midfield, 20 Yrs Luca Scapuzzi Striker, 20 Yrs Greg Cunningham Defence, 21 Yrs Tom Carroll Midfield, 19 Yrs Alex Nimely Striker, 20 Yrs Gai Assulin Midfield, 20 Yrs Andros Townsend Midfield, 20 Yrs Hérita Ilunga Defence, 30 Yrs Matthew Bates Defence, 25 Yrs Adam Hammill Midfield, 24 Yrs Michael Johnson Midfield, 24 Yrs Gary Taylor-Fletcher Striker, 30 Yrs Lewis McGugan Midfield, 23 Yrs Nathaniel Clyne Defence, 20 Yrs Darius Vassell Striker, 31 Yrs David Murphy Defence, 27 Yrs Anthony Gardner Defence, 30 Yrs Marvin Elliott Midfield, 27 Yrs Patrick McCarthy Defence, 28 Yrs Chris McCann Midfield, 24 Yrs Jay Tabb Midfield, 28 Yrs Henri Lansbury Midfield, 21 Yrs Luke Chambers Defence, 26 Yrs Adam Clayton Midfield, 23 Yrs Luke Steele Goalkeeper, 27 Yrs Sean Davis Midfield, 32 Yrs Mika Väyrynen Midfield, 30 Yrs Papa Bouba Diop Midfield, 34 Yrs Abdoulaye Fayé Defence, 34 Yrs Sammy Clingan Midfield, 28 Yrs Stephen Pearson Midfield, 29 Yrs Mikeli Leigertwood Midfield, 29 Yrs Roman Bednár Striker, 28 Years Tony McMahon Defence, 26 Yrs Joey O'Brien Defence, 26 Yrs Ramón Núñez Midfield, 26 Years Freddy Eastwood Striker, 28 Yrs David Cotterill Midfield, 24 Yrs Ludovic Sylvestre Midfield, 28 Yrs Korey Smith Midfield, 21 Yrs Martin Cranie Defence, 25 Yrs Daryl Murphy Striker, 29 Yrs Mikael Forssell Striker, 31 Yrs Lomano LuaLua Striker, 31 Yrs James McEveley Defence, 27 Yrs Jordan Stewart Defence, 30 Yrs Benjani Striker, 33 Yrs Jason Scotland Striker, 33 Yrs Lloyd Doyley Defence, 29 Yrs Hayden Mullins Midfield, 32 Yrs Pascal Chimbonda Defence, 33 Yrs Kalifa Cissé Midfield, 27 Years Peter Ramage Defence, 28 Years James O'Connor Defence, 27 Years Owen Garvan Midfield, 24 Yrs Vito Mannone Goalkeeper, 24 Years Tom Heaton Goalkeeper, 25 Years Paul Anderson Midfield, 23 Years Brian Stock Midfield, 30 Years Caleb Folan Striker, 29 Years Sam Vokes Striker, 22 Years Cole Skuse Midfield, 25 Years Paul Green Midfield, 28 Years Tommy Smith Defence, 21 Years Scott Allan Midfield, 20 Years Ashley Barnes Striker, 22 Years Aidy White Defence, 20 Years Chris Wood Striker, 20 Years Lewis Dunk Defence, 20 Years Fabian Robert Striker, 23 Years James Chambers Midfield, 31 Years David Forde Goalkeeper, 32 Years Martin Taylor Defence, 32 Years Lee Bowyer Midfield, 35 Years Now in all seriousness, if this list is correct and up to date (which I'm pretty sure it's 95% correct) I would like to see us make offers for: CB's Deydrick Boyata or Stephen Caulker (Both if we lose Chester) MF Bodde (because McKenna isn't going to play forever), RB/LB Sam Ricketts, Wingers Peter Lovenkrands, Michael Kightly or Adam Hammill (should Stewart decide he's too good for us) and strikers Ricardo Fuller or Tuncay. Out of all of them, we'd only have to pay for Boyata and/or Caulker. See Barmby! As easy as that!!! 😚
Lets hope the Wendies dont get promoted and we may get him. Likewise if Sheff U blow it then go for Ched (he will get off). Or Hudders blow it and we get Rhodes. Or Nick says i am very happy with what we have and i believe in the players we have got..........................................
That list isn't accurate, even off the top of my head I know that several are not out of contract. Most importantly, Mannone has three years to run on his deal.
