If we get Montero then...

Mon Aug 12, 2013 8:03 pm

Do you think we'll be done in this transfer window? I know Malky wants more, but I honestly think we'll have enough after this signing.

Moore, Brayford, Caulker, Medel, Montero, Cornelius.

That's pretty good business if you ask me, all the key positions we needed strengthened :ayatollah:

Maybe a left back. :ayatollah:

Cissokho of Valencia is worth keeping an eye on.

Malky has been saying since Medel he wants 2 more so I hope he is assuming the same as the fans that it is a winger and left back.

I don't think Moore will feature much and cornelius will start most games on the bench if we go 1 up front. I'd like another creative attacking midfielder, striker and defender who can cover centre and full back.
Depth in the squad basically.

I think Declan John is a gem and Taylor is good enough, but a real quality LB wouldn't go a miss. :malky:

You seem pretty adamant about this lad. He's superb to be fair. I will keep an eye out for any stories about him now. :ayatollah:

Goals is the issue, Maynard is untested, Gestede obviously not good enough, Mason it may be too soon for if he even got a chance, Campbell not too effective at this level but a great goals to games ratio for us and seems to be maturing and the untried Cornelius.

So it's up to Campbell and Cornelius if we don't add another striker.

To be fair in the Prem Campbell's only been used as a winger. Never really had the chance as a striker.

Flopped in Spain didn't he? Plus media saying it'll cost quite a bit to get him as they turned down our initial bid

I'm having trouble picking a team now without dropping players I thought would be shoe ins to play in the Premier League. To think the likes of Whitts, Noone and Hudson could be on the bench is unthinkable.

Not complaining though. :ayatollah:

I don't think noone will do anything at this level. Hope I'm wrong of course.

Really don't think a LB is essential. Taylor is good enough for now with John, Lappin, Kev and even Ralls for cover. I wouldn't worry too much about this position.

You've got to remember that bringing in too many new faces can upset the balance n the squad. Look at QPR, although not great anyway, the mass influx of players surely didn't help them

Mentioned someone Malky wants so he will not back down. :thumbup:

Three more signings by the end of the window :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :malky:

True and don't get me wrong I love FC was bouncing when he signed for us. But just feel we need more goals than him an AC. Hopefully Kim and a winger can chip in.

He pissed the last season for us.

Scoring headers, tap ins.

Scored 5 in the first month, 650k sorted.

This Montero lad has scored 5 goals in his league's opening 4 games or something. Not too shabby, but I agree. Maybe Darren Bent or Jermain Defoe?

I think we may well get a surprise. Sit back and enjoy the ride. :thumbup:

Yep, a LB. Maybe Anthony Reveillere - rumours have died down last week or so. Equally good at left and right back. Great write-up on Squawka. Class act.
