    We need someone of his mould, even with all the good signings Bruce has made I would still question him as to why he hasnt addressed the left flank of the team.

    Trust me he will lose fans if the left flank isnt sorted out by deadline day.

    as it stands i would play vaughan instead of wickham. He needs to be introduced slowly from the bench to adapt to the premier league, i hope people dont expect to much from him to soon as it could kill his confidence!

    i would also play rico at LB instead of bardo to give us more natural width.

    if we got n'zog i would put him where youve got sess and put sess on the right and drop larssen to the bench. A front 3 of sess, ngyan, n'zog looks a hell of prospect, full of trickery, directness, speed and quality!

    Yes we need him, if only so that we don't have to go through all this again in January.

    I'd have him.
    It's not so much as who do we drop. It's all about options within the squad.
    We all know last season went pear shaped because of our lack of quality options.

    No, he's a greedy friggin beret' seller.

    He has quality on his day, and can improve a team at times.

    But that is the problem, we are trying to build a team, with spirit and dedication. Qualities that the garlic mercenary doesn't possess.

    No doubt an asset at times, but the disruption he could bring, with the wage factor may be to much.

    Maybe more suited to Villa, sure he's get along fine with the English equivalent.

    Need,,,,,,,no

    Do I like him as a player,,,,,,,,,,yes

    Would I want him at the club,,,,,,,,,,,,NO


    In his own words about another club `just a stepping stone to a bigger club` Well Syd, I Dont think we are that bigger club, but we are certainly not stepping stones either, so best he chases his dream, as did Judas.

    Unfortunately Bill all players on the up see teams like ours as a stepping stone.
    Only one way to change this reality. Become as attractive to play for as Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool.
    Not easy.

    behave lads N'Zogbia would be an amazing signing

    we have brought in the likes of Brown and O'Shea to give us that bit of grit and experience

    Ji is the unknown, Wickham the exciting young prospect

    and the rest give us that improvement we so badly needed

    but we have not signed a flair player and N'Zogbia would be that man, along with Sess and Gyan would terrorise defences as a front 3 IMO

    Problem is, Catts & Bramble are both fairly long term injuries.

    I'd sell ferdinand - he isnt consitent enough.

    I'd also sell Steed. Fantastic with the ball at his feet, but cant cross or shoot.

    Does any one know who will still be injured for the beginning of the season? I know Westwood also has a shoulder injury at the moment (which I presume will clear up before our 1st game).
    I presume Catts, Bramble, Gordon and Campbell will still be out.
