With the reports today that we are going to up our interest in Hoilett now that Blackburn are relagated and then talking about us taking interest in the battle at the bottom to see who we can cherry pick for our squad next season and mentioning players such as Yakubu and Fletcher has got me really excited for the summer but who would you like to see come and go? Lads what do you think about my choices... Out Gordon, Angeleri, Bramble, Kyrgiakos, Bridge, McCartney, Elmohamady, Gardner, Vaughan, Bendtner, Gyan loan - Wickham, Ji and maybe Meyler to get a couple of months of first team football In RB - Nathaniel Clyne (Crystal Palace) LB - Taye Taiwo (Milan) CM - Gylffi Sigurdsson (Hoffenheim) CM - Mohammad Diame (Wigan - OUT OF CONTRACT) W - Junior Hoilett (Blackburn - OUT OF CONTRACT) CF - Stephen Fletcher (Wolves) CF - Hugo Rodallega (Wigan - OUT OF CONTRACT) CF - Emile Heskey (Villa - OUT OF CONTRACT - 1Year contract as a replacement for Wickham who should have a year onloan) Team --------------- Mignolet --------------- Clyne ---- O'Shea ----- Brown --- Taiwo ---- Sigurdsson --------- Colback ------ Hoilett ------- Sessegnon ----- McClean --------------- Fletcher --------------- subs Bardsley Turner Westwood Larsson Cattermole Campbell Rodallega rest of squad Carsson, Kilgallon, Richardson, Diame, Meyler, Heskey total of 24 in our 25 man squad, 1space left for a possible bid for Samba in January
Sorry mate, but it sounds like i'm being picky... i don't mean to be. You named 8 players, but 3 are either subs or just rest of squad.... Surely we need to improve on the present first team, first and foremost.... Must admit with the exception of a Fletcher, i don't see a huge improvement, maybe a slight one....but then i know nowt about this Clyne fella...
Yakubu, Pedersson, Robinson (Blackburn) Fletcher, Doyle (wolves) Moses, Rodallago (Wigan) Ronaldo and Messi if possible!, but joking aside we need 3 strikers now if Ji and Bendtner go, and i would have a go at bringing Kenwyne back, but two tall, tough defenders are also needed. Zigic from Birmingham?.
If we got any of the below i would be a happy fella Holliett Free Bosingwa Free Fletcher Izzaguirre Figroll free Yak Cisse Long Samba Matt Phillips Victor Moses Kalou Free Gylffi Sigurdsson
First of all have to say I enjoy all the speculation and guess work and look forward to the next few weeks and the dozens and dozens of names that will be linked with us. Still formulating my in players but the must haves are 2xC/F , 1x L/B what I don't see is a huge list of players coming in. I think MON will bring in 3 maybe 4 players who will walk straight into the first 11 then a couple to warm the bench, really can't see many more coming in in fact don't think we need that many .I really don't think we are far from a decent team. Think MON will keep Vaughn and Gardner (assuming he wants to stay) Richardson will go and from me won't be missed. Think Meyler will move on as MON clearly dosn't rate the kid. Early days but loving the speculation already
I would be more than happy with that team and I even like your planning for the following January transfer window! haha Maybe instead of Taiwo we could go for that Olsson who plays left back for Blackburn, been really impressed with him even in a struggling team and I think this is also someone O'Neill has been scouting and possible cheaper than Taiwo.
a few things as a wigan and sunderland fan firstly hugo is riddled with injurys and played poorly this season i dont want to see him at sunderland IMO Moses is either going to a bigger club then ourselfs or staying at wigan Figaroa is also signing wigan fans belive Diame is someone i whould love to have at sunderland however
I think if something can be learned from a lot of clubs in past transfer windows, taking too many people from the relegated clubs just doesn't work. One or two (for example Fletcher) I really rate, but taking too many who have just completed the experience of taking a team down is not a great move IMO.
Fletcher would be a great signing, really hope we get him, offer 5-6m and Wickham or Ji on a season long loan, should be enough
Any of them would really improve us. I hope we don't have a mass change round again with loads in and out . Would rather see 3/4 real quality players come in and the likes of Richardson/Gardner kept on to be moved along later.
