I think SW are interested in making McGugan's loan permanent, Dyer can go, Fabbrini is worth another shot, would love to see CB here again... Jakubiak scored the winner Daggers yesterday - not sure if it was his first ever goal though...
I think he's scored a couple for them, and he scored a few for Oxford earlier in the season. At both clubs it appears he's been on the bench a lot.
I think Lloyd could do a great job for a League 1 club for however many seasons he has left in him, and then come back home onto the staff. Just like Pat Rice - saw out his playing days here in style then went back to Highbury. A sort of one-and a half-club man.
I'd like to keep hold of Gomes, and sign up Vydra, Guediora and Tozser permanently. I think if we go up we could probably sign up better than Munari in the summer, same goes for Connolly (but if we stay down, we happily keep hold of both). Layun is a strange one as pretty sure he was a full/wing back in Mexico but we seem to be trying him as a central midfieder, and seems to be struggling a little at times there - not really his fault if it is a new role for him, but I'd like us to keep him even if it is just for the following from Mexico! Outgoing - Dyer can go wherever he wants, maybe Leicester will sign him back if they go down. We should offer McGugan to Sheff Weds for free if they let us win the last game. The youngsters out on loan again... maybe a few at a higher level if possible. I think IF we go up, the owners will have in mind a number of players they will sign for us, so anyone who is out on loan who isn't young will probably go (either sold or sent back to one of the other two teams), and anyone fringe players not getting too many games will probably be replaced.
I think the Udinese fans would go mental if we got him but think he may retire this summer anyway From their currenct squad, I would happily take Badu and Muriel... and possibly Pereyra (although he's at Juve and they have an option to sign at the end of the season)
Very likely so. I couldn't really see the Pozzos decimating their current Udinese squad either - they equally need their better players.
Udinese have so many out on loan, woldn't surprise me if we do go up that they send a couple of their better players over to keep us in the Premiership as thats where the money is, and promote some of the others to the Udinese first team. The Prem will also be a much bigger showcase for their players and would get a lot more money for them if/when they sell!
Didn't someone connected with the club say that there were a number of players who would only join us if we are in the Prem? Also, now that Vydra is a better player what are the chances of his loan ending?
I think it is sad to say, but I don't think we will see Lloyd in a Watford shirt again (although I still hope for a dead-rubber on the last day of the season and that he gets a run out!). I actually think we should keep Rene Gilmartin (although he may want to leave). We would be complaining if our 3rd choice keeper was some 18 year old academy player, and frankly there are not many options for a 3rd choice who has some regular first team experience (albeit at Walsall). Any injury to our first choice, and he is automatically on the bench. If we went up, would we want to turn up at Old Trafford with some kid who hadn't even played League 1 football on the bench? Unless we can get an old keeper on the way down, who is willing to get a pay cheque for the chance for a couple of run-outs (a Mark Schwarzer type), I think he is a decent back-up option to be our back-up keeper.
