" Deal or No Deal? "

DEAL OR NO DEAL ? :

My Opinion :thumbright:

(1) Joe Ledley will make very good cover to Gunnarsson/Ralls and can definately push them.
So if on acceptable wages then DEAL !




(2)However , he can not cover for Damour and we desparately need a dynamic and effective central midfield player to do the cetral box to box job. I don't think we have the time or finances so NO DEAL



(3) We need a good cover to Zohore - the dominant cetral striker. We are hoping that Bogle is the man but he is an unkown quantity and therefore a risk. Again we don't have the time or money so NO DEAL.




(4) Ideally it is important to have Noone, Pilkington , O'keefe Gounongbe out with the 1st 2 the more important because of wages. Lucky if much success there. Will be happy if we get one DEAL there.

Jordon Mutch is dynamic, energetic and box-to-box. He's linked with Burton so surely wouldn't cost too much.

Would love another striker, but can't see us getting anyone better than Bogle for the money we've got.

Has Mutch gone to Burton?

Rumours NW has targeted 2/3 midfielders imo that does not include Ledley.

If we can shift a few of these players out we could still sign both Ledley and one of those 2/3.

Also I still think we need another striker/winger for cover as both Harris and Healey are still out.

I agree with 1, Ledley on low wages is ideal cover.

I don't agree about not having a replacement for Demour, we paid 1.5m for Tomlins and although not like for like in my opinion he is the other option. Or if Ledley signs potentially Ralls could fill in that role.

It's impossible to replace Zohore without spending bug money. Warnock has paid reported 1.6m for Ward and 700k for Bogle so they have to be good enough, if they aren't then that's down to Warnock not the club.

On the plus side we would have the 2 best beards in the league in centre mid with Gunnar and Ledley - Deal for me

But would the club be able to foot the extra shampoo bill?

Gunner shaved his ages ago, guess he could grow it again for you.

He shaved it last season and has already started to grow it back

Annis Bogle is not an unknown quantity I am afraid.

I know the a few of the clubs photographers up here and, without naming the photographer, was told "He is a lovely lad in training but he is constantly offside and NW will sell him by January".

Pippio Inzaghi I believe was famously branded born off side by Sir Alex Ferguson- didn't do to bad from it
