I can think of 8 players that there has been a reasonable link to. That leaves 4 that we dont know about unless the press links are completely off but I think most are probably accurate. Lescott Snodgrass Ince Mcguire Livermore Dawson Rose Williams
I think that the wise money would be Maguire signing for us over Wolverhampton. If the lad is as good as we hope he is then he would get many games. Trust in Bruce. No need for gloom and doom at all. Other than possibly Lescott nobody we really need has gone anywhere else yet.
Lescott still not a done deal for WBA, so the door is still open. Probably just holding out to see if we'll up our offer to him..
Yea I think you are right he is. Modified the list sir. Lescott Snodgrass Ince Mcguire Livermore Dawson Rose Williams Husband
Looks like we'd have to cough £4m for Dawson... http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull...der-Michael/story-21267903-detail/story.html?
I don't think an extortionate amount for a good, season premier league defender, even though he is in his last year (is that right???). Still a step in the right direction, but depends on wages. Might depend on what he is on and Spurs.
It may come down to what he is on. Say he is on 50k, would he rather sit on the bench or come to us for a reduced wage (30-35k maybe). Cant see us matching wage and stumping up 4M in transfer fee. if that was the case, we may as well of upped Lescott's offer and still been cheaper over the contract????
I'd say that's decent value. He's a better player than Lescott too IMHO. Also, if we get Livermore back, with Dawson and Huddlestone. You have 3 players in the team who know each other's game. That I think is important. I'm still tipping WBA for relegation.
Husband is a left-back. It'll be one from: Rose Bertrand Taylor Husband By the looks of Bruce's targets so far, it looks likely he's aiming for a 3-5-2 that can revert to 4-4-2 with injuries. --------------McGregor----------- -----Chester--Dawson--Davies----- Elmo------------------------Bertrand -Livermore--Huddlestone--Snodgrass- --------Long--------Jelavic--------- Subs: Harper, Rosenior, McShane, Meyler, Brady, Aluko, Ince/whoever replaces Fryatt Squad back-up: Sagbo, Boyd, Quinn, Bruce, Dudgeon, Jakupovic etc...
Only if we stay in the PL for a 3rd year would that be a good deal for us imo. £8m for Dawson and Livermore plus add ons for players that Spurs dont want is more than fair.
I don't think Dawson offers us what i'm confident Brucey is looking for which is a 'left-sided' defender. Lescott would have been the better 'fit'. I think if rumours are to be believed, Brucey will switch his attention to Jose Fonte at Southampton?
Davies can play on the left. Davies - Dawson - Chester is a very good PL back 3. SB may also keep tabs on what is going on with Swansea skipper Ashley Williams as he still awaits a new contract. But Dawson ticks most of the boxes for us.
SkySports transfer page: The Sun claims that Southampton are ready to put fresh terms to Portuguese defender Jose Fonte in an effort to fend off mounting interest from the likes of Hull City and Queens Park Rangers. The Daily Record claims that Hull City are keen on Norwich winger Robert Snodgrass but are reluctant to meet a £6.5million asking price.
