How about another goalie at least to replace Cesar?

Just a single striker? After the insanity of going with just 3 strikers when we were allowed to loan, we are now going to go with 2 and no loans allowed?
 
Doyle Maiga and Keane got 2 goals between them in six months, I'll be livid if we sign any of them.

I believe 3 forwards is the minimum we need sign, 4 if we play two up front.
 
No-one mentioned Morrison, I'll admit I didn't make any games this season due to work, baby and wife's treatment but from reports and highlights I believed he was the best thing since sliced bread.
 
Can't argue with the logic just have this feeling of De Ja Vu and really don't want to go through the same cycle again especially with the talk of some of the CM coming back.

I wouldn't play 2 up front 2-3-1 is always my preferred but you need the 3 behind that are going to provide the support to the front man. Not sure how many teams still play 4-4-2 in the EPL any more, Man City sometimes but I fear they are few and far between now, scares me to think how out numbered we would playing that way.

He's class, but there is more than a touch of the prima donna about him. Think he's said he wants to sign a new contract at West Ham, we were definitely just a vehicle for him. Interesting that he was left out of the play off games after the first bit of the first semi final leg.
 
Not more than about 5 totally new ones, I don't include players who have been here on loan this last season or our own players returning from loan. We must not repeat what Hughes did.

We simply cannot do that, we need 3 new forwards minimum and a new goalie even if Green and Murphy are resigned
That leaves us with gaping holes in midfield and defence that 1 man simply cannot cover.

Indeed it is. And everyone was, as usual, slating Redknapp for not picking him. Yet here we are in the Premier League :)

His petulance at Wigan was simply not good enough. From that point in the competition, Harry figured he couldn't trust him in such big games.

Why do we need 3 forwards minimum? If we were to keep Charlie, Ravel and BZ we would only need 1. If we kept Remy as well (yes please if we can for me) no forward is needed at all.

Why do we need a new GK? We have Green, Cesar and Murphy.
 
FFS Ozzie, are you even taking that eejit seriously? If he was in any way sane he'd be so embarrassed by his fu*ked up predictions last season that he'd never post on here again.

Alas, no-one close to him seems to give a sh*t about his psychological well-being and have washed their hands of him. Its sad and he has my sympathy but ultimately we're the ones who have to listen to his sh*t every fu*king day.

If right was right, the NHS would fund this Board for providing occupational therapy :(

Morrison isn't a forward, Zamora isn't coming back, neither is Remy or Cesar.

Add into the fact its entirely possible green and/or Murphy won't be back.

We have one confirmed forward and zero goalies. Although it will probably be 2 with one more to find.

Spread bet - between 0 and 25. Poor odds though.

I fail to see how youngsters not trusted in the Championship will be trusted in the Premiership. Including, sadly, Yun, unless he has a storming World Cup.

Granero I would love to see back, I think he has a point to prove, and I don't think he was in the 'wrong sort' bunch. He's bound to let me down having said that.

I thought Ian Taylor said Ale was being offered a new contract in the Open All Rs podcast the other night, but I tend to drift off during those things.....

I like Granero and thought he had potential but my slight worry with him next season is will he be up for a backs to the wall relegation scrap? Because the reality is that's probably where we're heading. He seemed to lose heart for me that season but i'll concede that if the dressing was as bad as people say it was that might well be the reason. His knee injury worries me too - takes people ages to get over that type of injury psychologically.

Norwegian TV said he was going on holiday, he'll be back!
 
I think we should get in as many players we need to stay up. But if we do that it better be to stay up and then build on steadily the season after next and so on. Lets get in three new strikers one being proven the other two not. lets get in a couple of solid centre back and some back up defenders. I would hate for us to play it safe and for it to blow up in our face. We have got a great spine of a team. Lets build on it now so we are not rebuilding it it year in year out for the next five years
 
Would you guys count Rhodes as a proven goal scorer? He's done it in the Championship for a poor Blackburn team, but he's not been tried in the Premiership...
