Mon Apr 22, 2013 7:32 pm

I think we'll see several £4-5m captures from the European top flights. Alfred Finnbogason has been spoken about for months and a new name cropped up the other day. Real Betis centre forward Ruben Castro. He's 31 but has 59 goals in 103 games. We could get him for less than 2m

Right Back, Left Back squad to compete with Taylor, No nonsense Centre Midfield, a Natural Right Wing, a target man, and then squad players to challenge for places!

No you couldn't.

He is a top player, and Betis's second best asset behind Benat and despite being in administration they wouldn't sell him for that price. They'd have to get a least £4-5 million for him, which is a lot for a 31 year old. I also don't see why he'd leave Betis and European football next season, for you. He'll have plenty of interest in Spain.

I'd probably invest in Joniesta then the rest of my signings would come from abroad.
I would add though that the money for joniesta would be over and above the 25 million because i'd see that as an investment that is bound to make a profit

While i can kind of see where you are coming from, it will come down to wages mate and i think we will be able to double what he gets for a club in deep deep financial trouble

Guillem Balague mentioned the link the other day. I'm not saying we'll get him, but now we've earned our rightful place, who knows

Yes I believe we need to cast our net a little further afield where we can pick up some real bargains.
Clubs in England are after some crazy money for players who ain't gonna cut it in the Prem.

There will be a bidding war for Remy and we don't have a dog's chance. Starting bid as per the clause in his contract will be £8m but I reckon he will go for up to £10m.

Finnbogason we could probably get for about £3-4m. Looks like Le Fondre wants out of Reading maybe £4-5m. I think we need to get Brayford as our right back maybe £2-3m. Also maybe Curtis Davies for about £3-4m. An experience Premiership midfielder - someone like Tom Huddlestone on loan with a view to buying. And finally Jonathan Williams for £6-7m.

John Ruddy
Stephen Ireland
Maybe Carragher
Giggs
Tiote

A few names for you that only have 12 months left on their contract:-

Odemwingie, Eagles, Kenwyne Jones, Gary Hooper, Curtis Davies, Joe Ledley, kris Commons, Ricardo Vaz Te, Kasper Schmiechel, Kieran Westwood, jimmy Kebe

Re: If you had 25m who would you buy?

Mon Apr 22, 2013 9:56 pm

I think we need a new first choice right back, new centre half to challenge, new left back to challenge, new holding midfielder to challenge, new proven exciting winger, new attacking central midfielder and a new experienced striker.

Add that to:
Marshall, Lewis

Connolly, Hudson, Taylor, Turner, McNaughton

Whittingham, Kim, Gunnarsson, Mutch, Noone, Conway, Bellamy, Cowie

Campbell, Maynard, Mason

I'd probably let Heidur and Smith move on and let Rudy, Ralls, Nugent, Velikonja and Kiss out on loan.

Which players I'd actually try and get I don't know but I have 100% confidence and faith in Malky. :malky: :ayatollah:
