Papa Lazaru 0 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Gudjonson and Collins John plus a few experienced defenders who are proven in the premier league. But in reality we wont be spending much i dont think. 132510[/snapback] That's my feeling too. 132512[/snapback] Yeah i can't see excessive spending, though i'm sure we'll find some money, we have to. But it will be good if we can get something close to decent money for a few players who we suspect are on their way out! But whatever we have to spend, we really have to buy 2 strikers, a LB and i think most people want a CB, and we would also have to replace people leaving and our squad is already on the small side.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 After the financial results, I'd guess we have to lower our sights from the Prem/La Liga standard. How about Andy Johnson or David Nugent if Palace and Preston respectively don't make it through the play-offs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInspiration 1 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 What about Ricardo Vaz Te from Bolton??? From what I’ve see this season, he looks to be a cracking player… pacy, good skill on the ball, bags of potential. A Portuguese Lua-Lua Would be perfect as a 3rd-choise striker IMO. 132484[/snapback] Just wondering how many goals he's actually scored this season? Think he's scored twice in the league - took him ages to get off the mark. Personally, I think Ronaldinho would be a decent signing. Eto'o a reliable replacement for Shearer too.

aimaad22 3442 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Damn it what happened to the van nistelrooy's , the torres's, the ronaldo's Realistically though, I would be happy with Bent/Defoe/Mido Martins is a great player who has been linked away form inter this season, but I suppose he would be too expensive and other clubs will be chasing him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eto'o a reliable replacement for Shearer too. 132608[/snapback] His stats in all competitions this season are: 6 goals in 43 games (coming on as a sub in 31 of them). I think that's acceptable considering: 1) He's only 19 years old 2) This is his first season in England; he made his first full debut in april 3) Big Sam has used him as a midfielder in many games 4) He's got 31 sub-appearances this season I think he would give us: 1) Good cover in both attack and midfield 2) An extra dimension in attack - I would consider him as our 3rd or 4th choice striker, and bringing him on as a sub in the last 30 minutes of games, his pace and skills would trouble most defenders 3) A excellent future prospect – I’m sure Roeder would love to develop his game 4) Good value for money - I reckon he's in the £ 2m-category right now (could be £ 8m in a year or two) I agree Sammy Eto'o would be a decent replacement for Big Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron Jerome - Cardiff David Nugent - Preston Ashley Young - Watford Matthias Ostlund - Southampton (played against NUFC in the cup) Lee Camp (GK) - Derby Off the top of my head. All would be good signings (I rate Camp more highly than Rob Green and Scot Carson) for NUFC and not too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed like a very capable player, alot of potential but I can't see Sheffield selling him, especially if they stay up (I doubt they will though, their football was awful towards the end of the season). I've never seen why Lescott is so highly-rated myself. It could be that the team around him play badly because the manager is shit but has never stood out. The last time I was amazed at a defender was Efe Sodje. I could not believe he was only playing for Huddersfield! I think he's retired now though. Might be a relation to Sam Sodje but haven't seen him in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 (edited) Sodje is at Southend now isn't he? Sam (his brother) is/was at Brentford at they have another brother who is/was at Darlo. When Effe was at Huddersfield and one of his brothers was playing for the away side the fans sung "He ain't Effe, He's his brother" Edited May 6, 2006 by Dr Kenneth Noisewater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I was worried after Efe was stretchered-off the season before last with a neck injury. The playoffs where Huddersfield won promotion I think. I'm surprised not more players in the lower leagues are snapped up by the prem clubs actually, there are some real gems! Take Sonko for instance, didn't get signed by Portsmouth and went to Brentford, now he has a legitimate chance at being included in the French national team! And players like Lita and Jerome are emerging. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know we have other areas to strengthen, but Christian Whilmesson (sp?) would be a good player to buy due to his versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If PNE don't go up then I reckon he's worth a look at... 132692[/snapback] He seems to be inthe same mold of striker as Dave Kitson. Had a bit of injury trouble this season which is why he hasn't quite been as prolific but Preston are definitely more dangerous with him in the team. Quite a physical player so is intense. Did absolutely nothing against Reading at the mad stad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sign Andy Johnson without a doubt, but he'll be over-priced. The fact that Palace aren't going to win promotion might help though. If Eidur G would consider Blackburn, he'd consider us. I think he'll stay at Chelsea another year though, and they'll sell Crespo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
