This is what I think out team may be next season; Kenny Naughton Bassong. Gorkss. Clyne Derry. Faurlin Dos santos. Bullard. Taarabt Keane/bothroyd/johnson
Helguson will be our 25+ goals man, Derry our midfield maestro and Hill to provide 30-odd assists with his lightning pace down the left flank. Can't wait
At the sound of being repatative and boring : For gawds sake don't mention robbie 'has' keane........EVER!!!
Bullard through the middle and Tarbs out on the wing ? And why in God's name would we want Dos Santos ? Hopefully not
Actually, I take that back about Dos Santos - he seems to have had something of a revival at Racing Santander (16 games, 5 goals, 3 assists) and is getting regular football with Mexico (8 games, 4 goals in 2011). Would be preferable to Smith of V Moen on the left, although not sure I'd swap sunny Spain for Wild West London.
Mostly agree. Clyne would be a good addition and is probably obtainable. Naughton also, although he's 50:50. Can't see us paying actual money for Bassong. Not sure moves for Keane or Bullard are in our best interests though.
Does anyone know when we have to submit our 25 man squad? I think the following is realistic...? Kenny Cerny Walker (Loan) Orr Hall Gorkss Ramage Connolly Bassong (1 Mill) or Bougherra (1.5 Mill) or Upson (Free) Hill Naughton (2.5 Mill) Derry Faurlin Taarabt Bullard (Free?/ Loan) Dos Santos (3 Mill) Routledge (Small Fee) Smith Vaagen Moen Mackie Cleverly (Loan) or DJ Campbell (1.5 Mill) or Andy Johnson (3 Mill) Hulse Helguson Boothroyd (Free) Mackail-Smith (1.5 Mill plus add-ons)
It's still pretty optimistic. Don't think we'll be seeing 8 new faces, especially not Walker back in Hoops. Your front line is pretty uninspiring too: Helguson: will look distinctly average in the Prem Hulse: Potentially awful Boothroyd: Too highly strung Mackail-Smith: Totally unproven
Good predictions mate I personally think we will sign about 4 players max before the start of next season but those 4 could all be on your list
8 new faces but not much money spent there though plus a couple of loans...it's a big IF with Walker but we can always hope...I can't see too much else there that is too optimistic. I do somewhat agree with your comments re the frontline, but i really don't see who else we could possibly get...?
Dos santos had definate talent , just doesn't get any first team football to show it. I reckon regular first team football would interest him. The striker problem is a serious issue though, helguson will look distinctly average in the prem
Not a good sign...I forgot about the magical magyar! Maybe Buzsaky instead of Vaagen Moen or if we don't get Bullard/Routledge... Agyemang, Cookie, Rowlands, Borrowdale - To sell...Youngsters - Hewitt Etc. - Loan?
If you could afford JB's wages, we would be more than willing to give you him for free. By the way, you do know Spurs bought Bassong for £9m?
