new poster to this site so don't shoot me down too badly.
I agree with most that we need a new centre half and a different striking option if we are to consistently beat teams. I also share Adkins' obvious beliefs that we should now only be signing players who will form part of a premiership squad if and when we get there, I think the signings of Cork, De Ridder and Fox prove this.
Based on nothing more than just who I'd like to see at the club, what about Andrew Davies from Stoke. He was excellent in his spell on loan here and, whilst he is on a months loan at palace at the moment, will surely be available for a good price as he hardly featured for stoke last year and since then they have signed Upson and Woodgate. I'd be delighted if we could get him back here to play with Fonte.
With regards to the striker I like Rodriguez as I think he could play with or instead of Lambert and therefore gives us good options in terms of combinations up front. Baring that I wouldn't be disappointed with a loan signing, be it from a premiership team (Mbambe Diouf maybe) or maybe one from our many contacts abroad. We are an attractive prospect for clubs and players with regards to loans so lets use it if we need something particular in. Just looking for raw attributes of pace and power which is all we lack, in my opinion.
