"So mate what you do is take a heavy touch try and beat the defender, then float in an early cross which can easily be cleared away by the centre half as it was completely predictable and I haven't taken it to the by-line all season"
Cardiff: Mutch Noone Medel Caulker Fulham: Dejagah Holtby Sidwell Norwich: Redmond Snodrass Not saying they would all be starters as well by the way, we need to have a deeper squad
Of course, Caulker, Medel and probably Redmond as well would cost a bundle. Sidwell is coming out of contract, isn't he? There'll be a few clubs sniffing around him, though, so his wages wouldn't be low.
Why the clamour for Dejedah? He hasn't been an ever present for Fulham, but scored a couple of goals recently and somehow hailed as a messiah. He has little work rate, doesn't track back. He would not fit in with any formation we play. Sidwell would be a fantastic purchase from Fulham.
On a similar theme, who out of the non promoted top 10 from the championship would be a decent shout Derby- Hughes but way out of our price range Wigan - Watson or McManaman or possibly McArthur I'm not as clued up on the Champ these days other than some leading scorers - any others?
whoever loses out of those two of Derby and Wigan I would look at snagging a couple. Bryson from Derby would be perfect for us
I completely agree with Dejagah, people seem to be judging him purely from that goal he got against us. Sidwell is a player who gives it his all every game and chips in with a goal here and there. He seems a leader on the pitch too. What about Olsson from Norwich? Seems a solid, pacey left back (our weakest position) and apparently one of their better players this season.
There's a midfielder plays for Blackburn goes by the name of Cairney, seems decent, reckon he could be a PL player. Also back to the original topic, how about Turner from Norwich, might be good for back up?
Fulham, would take Sidwell Cardiff, Mutch Norwich, defo Redmond, caused Chelsea no end of problems when he came on today.
Seems like Cairney has been playing very well for Blackburn, picked up player of the season, 5 goals and 7 assists
Would take Redmond. Fits the profile of a player we would go after to a tee. Is English, is good mates with Davies, and is pacy and skilled. Would be basically a like for like replacement for Aluko who we could/should try to offload.
Mutch from Cardiff would be the only one I would consider. The rest would either be on too high wages; the Holtbys of this world, or too old. Marshall is a good keeper but Brucey has that covered although personally would prefer him to Harps.
Isn't Marshall the other Scotland 'keeper? When has a Club had a Countries number one and two 'keepers before?
he took it to the by-line once and it was pearler of a ball - i remember at the time i wished he would get there more often
Would never come here to be number two. His spectacular season will see him sought by much higher up clubs. Could see a Spurs or Arsenal go in for him.
