    So lads and lasses.... out of the relegated sides which players would you like to see us have a look at?
    I'm sure Mike will see an opportunity to buy below market value given the pressures on those teams to sell.
    Here are a few I'd look at more closely....

    QPR
    Caulker
    Austin
    Onuoha
    Hoillet

    Hull
    Chester
    Jelavic
    Livermore
    Ince

    Burnley
    Ince
    Trippier
    Ings

    All these lads would improve our squad and most of them are British....

    Livermore will be leaving Hull under a cloud, especially if he sneezes on his way out the door.

    Hahaha... I know.
    Fat Mike will see that as an opportunity to buy cheap... reform and resell though..

    I know they survived relegation again <miracles do happen, sadly> but do the mackems have anyone we could utilise? <whistle>

    Mind, we would have to endure some serious whinging over the next season.

    Any player leaving them for us, of course, would join a team that repeatedly finishes higher in the league :grin: <top dogs once again>

    How many times has one Joseph Barton been relegated now?

    Well, as our feeder club it's only right that we consider them as a supply line.
    What about having a look at Wickham to partner with Austin?

    I know it's uncanny.
    I can see him going to Watford and then doing it all again next year again.

    I like that, Albert. The mackems probably wouldn't miss him anyway....they've complained all season that he's either not good or he's played out of position.

    Wouldn't touch Caulker. He's awful.

    Austin Hoillett Ince Ings and Trippier are probably the only ones worth chasing.

    That said I think I'd rather Caulker than Williamson but that's not saying much.

    Robbie Brady and Dawson might be a option

    Chester is ****. I saw us linked with him this morning and my bowels turned red with blood at the thought.

    Please, don't ever mention Caulker again. I'm remember Hacky ****ing off over him, telling us all how great he was, when he is nothing more than an overrated, championship standard CB who gets cut constat slack because he is English, like many others of his bollock type. We need to be aiming higher than that imo.

    I would love Ings, Austin wouldn't come and would stay in the south.

    would take Dawson, don't particularly like him as a Football player (plus must be getting on) but he is the type of Player we need, a bit of steel

    <laugh> No you don't. You remember me saying he was better than what we have, and he is still is. He has gone backwards at QPR but I'm sure someone will be able to do something with him.

    There is not many I'd like from the relegated clubs. Ings, Austin would be very obvious.

    The likes of Hoilett and Ince are talented but they don't look to be fully committed. I rate that Phillips higher than those two to be honest. At least he puts the effort in. I'd take McCarthy from QPR, rate him highly. I like Trippier.

    Trippier, Ings, Austin, McCarthy would probably be all for me. Priority needs to be centre backs though. Young guys like Mings and Gibson are an option alongside Lascelles. However we need a real solid type who is a bit more experienced.

    I would look down rather than those heading down. Will Hughes at Derby. Bamford, Gibson at Boro. Mings at Ipswich. Gray at Birmingham. Not necessarily these players, but this type of player. Untainted by relegations etc, who just need to be developed. This is what we did previously under Robson and it worked. We got a mix. We went for Milner, Jenas, Dyer, Bellamy, Bramble, Woodgate etc and it gave us a real freshness and impetus.

    Caulker is a great CB, he just had a bad time at QPR because they are ****.

    With the right management he's a solid CB. He'd be a great steal at 3-5m.

    **** off Hacky. Every other post was 'I ****ing love Caulker' this, 'I can't believe how great he is' that and more worringly 'I wouldn't mind blowing him while Clint Hill ploughs me like a freight train from behind' the other.

    That certainly sounds like the JPF we all know.

    Austin and Ings would be the priority signings for me.

    With those two as genuine options, the rest of the squad would be lifted.

    I would take Sean Dyche as Manager as well.

    He's a massive 6ft3 wall of cotten wool who can't shoot, has zero awarenes as he can't lift his head on the ball to see where his teammates are, ****e in the air, more of a rapists touch than AJ, can't hold the ball up and can't pass if his life depends in it. Please make a bid and take him. He is ****e. Can't even adapt to play on the side of a front three, Defoe hasn't done it his whole career but pissed it with ease when asked to do the same. Have him please. If this is the extent of your scouting ability feel free to look over the rest of the squad. Plenty more ****e for you to over rate. ;)
