Any 1 from these 3 would be good business for me, Hendrick from Derby, Brady from Norwich and Chester from the Baggies. Januzaj on loan could be an excellent signing for us too if Jose thinks he needs to prove himself in the Prem a la Zaha

Brady and Hendrick were also my first picks a few pages back Bo. Both have looked excellent with Rep.Ireland in the Euros (Brady just put Ireland ahead against Italy), and with Norwich/Derby during the season, and would be a step up on Meyler and our current corner/free kick takers respectively. Also Brady is far better than Robbo defensively and would allow us to accept any crazy (20 mill+) offers for him from the big clubs....although I'd like to keep him. Chessie is showing just how good he is with Wales and if Pulis doesnt rate him maybe we can get him back. I'm sure he'd love to come back.

I'd love to get Remy on loan on some sort of wage sharing deal since he's not getting any playing time where he is but Januzaj might be a more realistic option.

I would say we had done good businews I'd we could bring in:
A young Cb who can cover lb (either from abroad or from a top club but not getting a game)
Powell in a free
Haydon for around £3m
mason around £5m
ulloa around £5m
and a couple of pacey wingers either on loan or cheap imports.

All realistic for us, and wouldn't break the bank (and before the Bruce didn't play Haydon blah blah starts, look back at bruces interview just after Christmas, he said he would build a squad around a player like Haydon and he was only kept out of the team due to livermores form)

But was livermores form that good? I'm not so sure it was.
That's a hell of a statement to say that about Hayden but then not to play him because Livermore was average at best.
If he really rated Hayden he'd have played him aswell

What I want to know is, Can we bring any players in with the situation with the Allams, if they are staying have we got a budget and will they allow SB to buy and if they are really selling is everything been put on hold until its sorted?

No. And if Ehab decides to stick around, it will be a new manager anyway.

Yes, a budget has been discussed with Bruce.
 
Brady was one of the few that stood up to be counted during our relegation season and played some great football to boot, I was very disappointed when he went as left footers with great technique and very good defensive and attacking attributes aren't ten a penny. If he had just been a little bit luckier with his tremendous free-kicks he would have more or less helped keep us up. It's a shame him and Robbo couldn't build an unstoppable partnership on the left for me, circumstances dictated that it didn't happen.

Agreed - Bruce's tactics and the inadequacies of those he was playing with diminished Brady's contribution significantly.

Not sure what you mean. I didn't mean he was **** in general for us, merely that he was consistently good for Ireland even when in bad form for us.

I don't know where you are getting the bad form for us part from thats all, he only had one poor game I saw in his last two seasons with us and that was in Europe and due to early season rustiness, was at fault for Trencin scoring early doors. Other than that very consistent. When he joined us he was raw but that's to be expected, Chester was the same as was Dudgeon who was very unfortunate with injuries

His free kicks and corners were poor. He had several poor games in our first pl season that I saw live, admittedly while struggling with his groin.

He was dropped from the team in our second season so not sure he only had one bad game.
