InigosLeftPeg Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Ive said since the thorne deal, that we need another option at rbk (nothing against christie he may be 1st choice) a cbk leader, a goalscoring wide man, and a stk (wood all day long) we missed out on dyer as the wide player he went to watford, wud have been ideal Wide Man - GMS - he's fairly young still, he's a proven player, needs to be a little more consistent but a bargain at 600k ish!

YorkshireRam Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Pretty sure Anthony Pilkington is still a Norwich player.. Ah, it seems as if he is still contracted to Norwich, my mistake. Still reckon we should go for him though, would add an extra touch of quality to the squad. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11709/9326759/transfer-news-norwichs-anthony-pilkington-facing-uncertain-future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Hangeland wasn't offered a contract at Fulham. It amuses me when people suggest wages will be a problem, when currently his wages appear to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 If we can find the right players, can we not get a winger who's capable of playing up front (in Bamfords mould) and a CB by trade who can cover RB?

North_Stand_Ram Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Oh, you cynic! I'm sure Wood would rathe challenge one other striker to start than potentially 4, all of whom would be starting ahead of him! He'd be with the reserves! And we'd be more attractive than Wolves!

InigosLeftPeg Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Would we be more attractive than Wolves if he was guaranteed to start? No chance. As for GMS, I don't know him, I've watched him only briefly, but if he is a "bargain", our scouting and financial set up will prepare an offer, if not, we won't. Simples. The set up only have the club at their best interest, so if he will improve us, we'll go in for him. I'm not wholly convinced he's better than what we have. So you think he'll be prepare to step down from PL football to mid-table in the Chanpionship? I'd rather fight for a place in a top 6 team! He'd get started, and the competition between the two Chrissys would improve them both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheron85 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Would disagree massively with this. The 5th best defensive record is fantastic for a team who plays in the style we play! You don't usually get many teams who finish as highest scorers and lowest conceded. It's too tough of a league. You either get the very efficient sorts like your Cardiffs who don't score all that many but hardly concede or you get the types of teams who will score for fun but will not be water tight at the back. I'm not sure... Leicester were 2nd top scorers and 3rd best defence... Burnley were 4th best attack and best defence... Better defence usually more important across a season than better attack so for me if we're gonna win the league we need a top 3 defensive record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a handy squad and I think they'll push top 6. He's worked with Jackett previously so they probably have a good working relationship (was brilliant at Milwall).

I've even heard some say they'll go on and win it! But I can't see then finishing in the playoffs, because while they performed well in L1, I feel like there's such a level playing field that they won't do as well as expected. Just my opinion:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsall_Ram Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Danny Batth - 6'2", PFA Team Of The Season - anyone? Wolves born and bred.. He'll be there till mid 30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InigosLeftPeg Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Think youve got it spot on there! But i would maybe suggest Harry Maguire for CB? Very highly rated at sheff utd and still young, probably would want too much for him though Harry Maguire may well be less than Batth - a good suggestion!

Better defence usually more important across a season than better attack so for me if we're gonna win the league we need a top 3 defensive record So leicester were only 2 places higher in the defensive tables than us yet comfortably won the division. It is very rare for a team to score as many as we did AND have a 'play off' standard goals conceded and to not go up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 You got me... In honesty, I want Mackay-Steven, Wood and Batth. I think that'd at the very least double what we've already spent this summer and I can't see the owners okaying that. It was okay splashing the money on Thorne as, injury free, his value will not go down and he isn't a risk. The other three are unknown quantities (Wood not so much but still was third choice striker for Leicester) and so it is difficult to spend a lot of money on these when Mac probably thinks he can get better quality on loan.

Scott129 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 People just love spending other people's money, don't they? We are not going to spend 1m+ each on three more players. Batth and Maguire are especially crazy suggestions for a position we're not needy in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThorneIsGod Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 It may be a long shot but what about Zaha on loan from Man U. He didn't impress at Cardiff in the prem so I doubt there will be any interest there but we know what he can do in the Champ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
