Anag Ram Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 If its John The Baptiste we may be in line for a miracle. Remember he lost his head, much like Alex does from time to time. We do definitely need a new centre half and he's not the worst to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notts_ram Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 The question should be out of ten how likely do you think it is that we sign all of the named players, I go for 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weston-super Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 8. Although ideally would look for an alternative to martin. Swap Martin for Sharp or Waghorn and I would increase nearer 10.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 7 for me. If you want those types of players then these are decent targets. Well, that's my opinion in my limited footballing knowledge as a fan, and nothing more. It's gone down a mark for me though because you just can't tell me you wouldn't get better for cheaper abroad.

ariotofmyown Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hopefully the yanks think this is the time to invest and make the promotion push. I tend to agree and if a bit of extra controlled spending gets us up we'll be loaded. The rest of football will look at the way we have been run with the stabilty of a long term manager and admire.

North_Stand_Ram Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Name a championship winger whose been more consistent in this league then Burke? You wont be able to name many! Would be very ideal, just what we need. Same goes for Baptistie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Grant (Morch) Brayford (Freeman) Keogh (Barker,OB, Buxton) Baptiste Forsyth Burke (Coutts) Hughes (Whitehead, Bryson) Hendrick Ward (Jacobs) Vaughan (Sammon, Bennett) Martin Plus a few up and coming lads like Gjokaj. I'd reckon that lot would get you in with a very strong shout, but I'd be amazed if we got all the targets mentioned to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 if they're what we sign, I'll be surprisingly underwhelmed. Grant is okay. The rest are much of a muchness and in reality not much better than what we already have. None have real pedigree of success. Grant - Steady, but should've kicked on a couple of years ago when Capello was supposedly looking at him for England. Forsyth - Decent, but does seem to have a tendency to be easily tricked, a bit like Connolly was a couple years ago. Baptiste - Steady, but no world beater, has a tendency to make stupid mistakes and lacks a real football brain. Whitehead - Good workrate, but no better than Bryson and co. Not really an improvement. Burke - As I've already said, has a lot of involvement in games but if he was any good, Cardiff would've kept him. Not much better than Coutts or Ben Davies IMO Martin - I like Martin, seems to have intelligence and technical ability, does sometimes seem to lack motivation. Vaughan - We had him, no better than Tyson. Would rather keep Tyson. All in all, pretty uninspiring and seemingly scattergun approach as per Paul Jewell in 2008!!

Mostyn6 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 god you're more depressing than eeyore Was being representative of the adjectives you used, very low key adjectives at that just my honest appraisals. We have some decent players here and I dont think they are any better than what we have. Why aren't other clubs in for them. All I see is people getting excited, then three months into the season, the same excited people will be saying we need a whole raft of new players. We need a Charlie Adam or a Rickie Lambert, not a bunch of steady, hardworking pros. We need someone who can spark something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notts_ram Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Other clubs probably are in for them, for some reason unbeknownst to me Derby are happy for other clubs to know their transfer targets. And behave about Charlie Adam or Lambert we're talking about real footballers here not Fantasy Football stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time Blackpool bought Adam, they used a third of the money we gave them for Barker!! At the time Southampton bought Lambert, he was cheaper than what we paid for Sammon!! You have a struggle reading in context don't you? When I say "we need a Lambert", it means someone of similar abilty, stature, influence, not the actual person!!!
