Another three or four players needed.

Sat Jul 13, 2013 6:29 pm

I think we need a minimum of three or four prem players imo or its back down we go sorry folks just keeping it real even if its not liked, questions will be asked imo about Tan, MM and the current squad if this does not happen and it goes bad from the start :ayatollah:

• Two defenders - one central, the other a versatile back-up.

• Winger / Attacking midfielder.

• Proven goalscorer.

That's my wish list, at least!

1 back up goalkeeper
3 defenders in which 2 of them should be capable to start in the starting 11.
A dominant, commanding centre midfielder.
1 tricky, fast winger.
1 more striker.

I got to be honest I believe where ok for strikers at the moment and I think our centre midfield looks good , I don't believe we can expect miracles , two defenders and one fast winger for our starting 11 and I would be happy and other additions a bonus my opinion

We really don't need 7 players :lol:

I reckon we need a CB (hopefully Barnett)
someone to challenge Taylor at LB
a dominant CM as you said
and a quality winger

why anyone would think we need a striker when we have Cornelius, Maynard, Campbell and Mason amongst others and will probably only play 1 up front beyond me. :ayatollah:

Can definitely see where he is coming from. Wouldn't want Marshall or Taylor to be injured with current back ups we have. Would love a centre back with any sort of pace. Don't want to have to play Whitts in holding role. Think Bellamy may have to slow down at some point and so only left with Noone and Conway as wingers (can't see Smith being involved a lot). And up front if Maynard and Campbell's history is anything to go by they will have plenty of injuries leaving us with just Mason, Cornelias and Rudy unless Velikonja turns out to be the gem Malky thought he was.

MM - Said he wanted to bring in 4-5 players before the season starts - so yes agree we need to add to the squad.

For me - Back up keeper - 2 defenders - 1 midfield - 1 forward. :malky:

1 keeper.

3/4 defenders.

2 wingers.

1 striker.

Need a minimum of 3 defenders, 4 would be nice. Connolly, Hudson, Turner, Kev and Nugent are not good enough to be regulars in the PL imo.

This. :lol:

Hudson was - for me, at least - the best central defender in the Championship last season, and is more than capable of stepping up.

It wasn't too long ago that West Ham were interested in Turner, whilst Kev and Connolly should be capable of playing decently in the PL.

Nugent is still young - what do you expect? :?

Re: Another three or four players needed.

Sun Jul 14, 2013 10:44 pm

£60mil for C.Ronaldo, £30mil for Higuian (spelling), £10mil for Evra and £25mil for Vidic.

C'mon Tan. :malky:

Totally agree on every point.

Sometimes our fans are just way too unrealistic.

Some kid wouldnt sign last week and stayed in the championship but im sure all the above and more will be dribbling over signing for us :ayatollah:

Mon Jul 15, 2013 4:28 pm

In terms of keepers, Shay Given ain't doing much at the moment...

In terms of quick wingers, I reckon Marc Albrighton from Villa wouldn't be a bad buy.

But otherwise, yes - a defender or two would certainly be a wise investment. People have mentioned Martin Kelly of LFC in recent days - that'd be a good move. Or Ryan Bertrand.

Sorry lads but if you think our current defence is good enough to make the step then you are in for a shock. Not that my opinion matters :lol:

I would have said Swansea was better with Rangel, Caulker and N.Taylor. No idea who Norwich had at the back and what signings they made in defence to be honest mate.

Fine. £20m each for Eddie and Feeney. :thumbright:

Re: Another three or four players needed.

Mon Jul 15, 2013 7:40 pm

Definately 4, and another 2 on top of that to add depth to the squad.

Left back,right back,centre back and a winger are a must
An attacking midfielder for completion to kimbo and another target man type striker to add competition to cornelius then.

Still a lot of work to be done

I'd agree with the new fans who sing part - at times, it feels like the away fans make all the noise and apart from a hardcore few in the Canton, we only seem to sing at the start and when we score. It makes you feel awkward when you get up in certain parts of the ground and try to get a chant going, because one or two middle class families will turn around and give you filthy looks!
