SIGNING EREMENKO, GOODWILLIE & BELLAMY....

Wed Jul 13, 2011 10:43 am

In my opinion, with what we have already could easily see us up in the top 5 all season long? With the possibility of Automatic promotion.

I know that's what happened last season, but with a new team spirit a manager bringing in fresh ideas, tactics & players, the fans with a renewed belief and Captain Cardiff back in I'm sure we'll be a match for anyone in this league.....

Did I read right that something like 7 or 8 of our last 10 games of the season are at home?

Also do we need any other defenders in? Or are you confident with the back four?

If we sign these three then top 6 is very reachable. But at the minute not just yet :ayatollah:

so we aint signing them

With any of those three we will be in the mix in my opinion.

I'm sure we'll bag the odd young loan player by the end of the window too which should see us with a much healthier squad than last year.

COME ON

The only one I have ever seen play is Bellamy. The other two sound like good players but if I'm honest I know nothing about them other than they did well in the SPL. I like the way Malky is going about his business signing good 'team' players and individuals like DJ did last season. It would be exciting times if we managed to sign any of those players let alone all three!

I do think we could also do with a centre back as I'm not totally convinced with Hudson, Gypes, Keinan or Gerrard. They are all ok but if we could get a really commanding centre back in a similar mold to Roger Johnson I'd be really happy.

i dont like the sound of this eremenko guy.... he seems abit of a all i want is whoever offers me the most money and i dont care where i play....


he should be well chuffed with some of the teams hes been linked with compared to the teams he has currently played for..

Re: SIGNING EREMENKO, GOODWILLIE & BELLAMY....

Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:15 pm

merlin i actually think our back 4 is strong enough. i may be proved wrong as the season goes but i still think we need an extra one or 2 bodies in defence for a bit more strengthening and also just in case we get injuries like hudson last season.
think darcy should play cdm.
hard to say when we aren't 100% sure what players are yet to come in and what formation we will play.
all 3 of the players you've mentioned would be amazing for us. 3 very strong performing players.
although we have done really well with signing the quality that we have done...still need a defender, 2 or 3 midfielders and a striker or 2. imo. (not being too greedy :D )

Re: SIGNING EREMENKO, GOODWILLIE & BELLAMY....

Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:16 pm

FFS if we sign them three we will have a better squad than last year and i would have thought automatic,better squad better manager {hope to be proved} and annis in a positive mood what more could you ask for :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

not always, would i travel to dubai to work for an extra so many ££ ... no i wouldnt... he currently plays in a poor standard league, played on loan with kilmarnock!! no offence.. The chance to play in the championship with the few clubs looking at him should be enough of a step up to sway him... but he said he would go anywhere in the world where the best money deal was... clearly showing he is not putting football first...

its a bit different with our jobs ....

Maybe he has things to pay out and would like to put his family first and make life more comfortable for them first and foremost. We don't know his motives at all and one of the biggest money grabbers in the football world at the moment puts his heart and soul into every performance, Carlos Tevez. Whether he wants to leave or not he always gives 100% which you have to admire him for. The same with Charlie Adam last season. He wanted a move to Liverpool but still played his heart out to try and keep Blackpool up.

I have no qualms with him playing off clubs so he gets the right deal for his personal reasons but at the same time he must justify that by working hard and showing he is committed.

One thing you can admire about him is his honesty. How many players have said 'I want to go to the club because it gives me a new chance and I have always supported the club' and then have gone back on their word and left a year or two later because the going gets tough or more money comes along?

Football is a fickle world. Fickle fans, fickle players with fickle boardrooms.

Top half next season with the present squad.

Squad still too shallow in key areas.

Get a decent and fit goalscorer in and with Ched Evans then top 6 becomes attainable.
