Just a bit of fun for any who want to try their hand at predicting the ins and outs at Carrow Road this summer. INCOMING: Predict a maximum of 5 defenders (includes a possible GK), 4 midfielders, and 4 strikers who you think may join in the summer. Permanent transfers, not loans. 10 pts for each correct incoming prediction OUTGOING: Predict who you think will leave in the summer, and where they will go to, you can predict both the league you think they will go to, and the club if you feel very sure - there´s no limit here. 10 pts for each correct outgoing prediction, an extra 10 if you can correctly predict their league destination, an extra 30 if you correctly predict their new club. Now comes the tough bit - DEADLINE IS ONCE THE LAST MATCH OF THE SEASON HAS BEEN PLAYED - because we know how quickly Lambert usually gets off the mark. **Don´t forget you can always edit right up to Deadline Time** I think this will be a hard one to crack, but all the very best if you decide to have a go. rbf
I´ll start off with a couple of tentative OUTS Drury - destination Championship - Peterborough Lappin - destination Scottish Premier League Chris Martin - destination Championship - C. Palace INS: Defenders: Naughton Midfielders: Snodgrass Strikers: Jay Rodriguez
Incoming Defenders Joel Ward Martin Olsson Dedryck Boyata Midfield Liam Bridcutt Robert Snodgrass Craig Noone Forwards Jay Rodriguez Dani Pacheco Outgoing Ward - Championship - Nottingham Forest Drury - Championship - Cardiff (dependant on play off's) Chris Martin - Championship - Nottingham Forest Andrew Crofts - Championship - Brighton Simon Lappin - Championship - Charlton Do loans count or excluding loans?
Incoming Defenders - Kyle Naughton, Chris Gunter, Richard Stearman and Curtis Davies Midfielders - Robert Snodgrass, Liam Bridcutt and Chris Burke Strikers - Kevin Doyle and Ross McCormack I think we'll bring in at least one foreign player this Summer as well, just not sure who. Outgoing Leon Barnett - Championship - Forest Chris Martin - Championship - Palace Adam Drury - Championship - P'Boro Andrew Crofts - Championship - Watford Simon Lappin - SPL - Motherwell
wow, this is difficult rbf! if anybody gets even one transfer bang on they'll deserve a round of applause!!
I would suggest: Outgoing Simon Lappin and Chris Martin to Colchester United Adam Drury, player coach (semi retirement in fact) Posh Andrew Crofts Notts Forest Elliot Ward Notts Forest Aarron Wilbraham MK Dons Steve Morison West Ham Incoming Jay Rodriguez Thomas Ince Chris Burke Robert Snodgrass
Just permanent transfers, YellowLittle, I think it would be a bit complicated to add possible loans as well.
i'll go a little more left field... ins: roger johnson from wolves chris gunter from forest liam bridcutt from brighton george boyd from posh ahmed elmohamady from sunderland jonathan williams from palace nikola zigic from birmingham leon best from newcastle out: simon lappin to st mirren chris martin to forest (as part of gunter deal) andrew crofts to middlesbrough leon barnett to birmingham (as part of the zigic deal) kyle naughton to spurs (i fancy my chances on this one!) david fox on a free
No problem, was trying to sneak in some points with Francomb, Adeyemi and Korey Smith on the outgoing
Elmohamady is a good shout, as is Best and the only reason I didn't put him is I doubt he'd want to leave a team that will be in Europe. I do hope you're wrong about Roger Johnson!
my thinking on johnson is that lambert briefly worked with him before. he's a good defender but has had a difficult season. depending on price and if his attitude is right, he could be worth a shout. i'm not hoping we get him - just putting it out there that lambert might well fancy bringing him in - last chance saloon and all that
If we do sign him, I think its fair say Lambert will of made sure his attitude was right, so that would ease my worry.
get him and snodgrass in and we've got the entire leeds midfield from last year! anyone know if max gradel wants to leave st etienne?
Outs: Chris Martin - Championship Leon Barnett - Championship Simon Lappin - Championship/SPL Aaron Wilbrahamovic - Championship Andrew Crofts - Championship Simeon Jackson - Championship Ins: Defenders: Kyle Naughton - Spurs Midfield: Matt Jarvis - Wolves Tom Ince - Blackpool (depending on whether Blackpool go up) Forwards Mohammed Abdellaoue - Hannover Jay Rodriguez - Burnley
Outs first: Lapps to Scots Prem (Motherwell) C Martin to Championship (Brighton as part for the incoming Bridcutt) Ward to Championship (Charlton) Barnett to Championship (Birmingham as part for the incoming Curtis Davies) Crofts to Championship (Peterborough as part for the incoming Paul Taylor) Drury to League One (Coventry) Wilbs to Championship (Sheff Utd if promoted to replace Chedders while he's in chokey) Ins: Defence: Ward (Pompey) Gunter (Florists) Davies (Brum) Midfield Bridcutt (Brighton) Clayton (Leeds) Mark Davies (Bolton) - if they get relegated Whittingham (Cardiff) Strikers Taylor (Posh) Hooper (Celtic) Ranger (Newcastle) That's it for now - bet it all changes over the next fortnight.
