Woodys woman Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 You won't get a proven striker for £10,000 a week, forest have 3 who are probably on £20,000 plus each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramblur Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 The roles that Doyle, Davies, Tyson and Bailey make are little to none, replacing them with even two players, that would be first team regulars and improve the team in general would only be a good thing, and mean they players on the bench (i.e. current first team regulars) would make our bench considerably stronger, considering as it is fairly poor at the moment. As Hughes is one being replaced in the original scenario,then only one current first team regular would 'strengthen' the bench.Even at that,there are some who would argue that Tyson should be in the team,presumably at the expense of a player you think would strengthen the bench.Even if what you said were 100% accurate,you can't just survive (without a lot of luck) with the team and a bench.We already have a small squad by NPC standards and your proposal would decrease numbers.

A first team squad of Legzdins Brayford Keogh O'Brien Roberts Coutts *New* Bryson Jacobs *New* Sammon Bench Fielding O'Connor Freeman Robinson Ward Hendrick Gjokaj Still leaving the likes of Buxton and Barker to return And then Bennett, Hoganson and Naylor as back-up if required. That would give us a squad of 22, which is pretty much what the manager wants, and if the reports of Liam Kelly are to believed, that would mean him coming in for nothing in the summer, Hughes leaving for a substantial fee, and getting a replacement. If Tyson, Davies, Doyle and Bailey were all to leave which they will over the next 7 months or so, and with the addition of 1 or 2 free transfers (i.e. Liam Kelly) and a few 'barker type fees' for a left back and a striker, then our team would be much better than if Hughes stayed.

davenportram Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Clough on RD said that we cluld potentially lose one or two of the fringe players without needing to teplace but anymore than that then funfs willl be available for loans or whatever. but no intetest in fringe players like Davies or Tyson Also that Bailey may be a loan with permanent at end if the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyram Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I've read in a few places that Fulham are first in line to try and grab Hughes, but I reckon somebody ought to tell their fans because I've trawled a few of their forums and I can't find one reference to them wanting him.

Tyson,for instance,might have some say in the matter.As Ward is already here,I don't see your bench as particularly strong,compared to what we could already put out.So we get down to the nitty gritty-can we really get a decent creative midfielder for £5k/week? (certain skills tend to cost a bit extra).If we can't,who's going to provide the openings for your £10k/wk striker (assuming he's any good).I know your post was based on silly money for Hughes,but I can see the possible pitfalls of £4m/£5m.I'd rather build around the known quantity in those circumstances. Of course you could still wheel and deal around the fringes,whilst retaining Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 WILL HUGHES (17, midfielder) Derby County The highly rated youngster has been a virtual ever-present this season, putting in a string of impressive performances.

randombc Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 In the Daily Mail that we are expecting bids for Hughes, Fielding and Brayford. Again nothing new except speculation regarding Fielding's future.

Scott129 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Tbh, I wouldn't be mortified if Brayford left now. Freeman was more than solid against Boro and I'd be happy to give him the starting RB spot just to give him a chance. Plus, 1.5/2 mill would allow us to buy a couple of new players. Hughes is the only one I would despair over, unless of course he went for silly (and I'm talking stupid) money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodys woman Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Thought freeman did ok but feel its a little early to justify sacrificing brayford based on what he's shown so far. Could do with a good run in the team first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
