Jayweb95 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 IF we go up who would you be content with in your starting 11? personally i'd say Grant, Christie, Albentosa (if he's what he's made out to be), Hughes, Thorne (IF he returns the same player) and Russell. Short list because; Martin - wouldn't hack it, we use him mainly for hold up play.. Couldn't see him holding up Terry, Rojo, Kompany, Yaya Toure, etc... Bryson - He's too inconsistent and could cost us points too often. Ward - He's made of glass and inconsistent Hendrick - Good bench player, but below par for a prem starting 11. Keogh - Questionable for me, but games like Forest cant happen. Fozzy - His passing is below par, wouldn't be able to handle prem wingers. Possible signings Leroy Fer - Would be superb in our team. Martin Olsson - Would be great for us and our style. Nathan Redmond - Always rated him highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North_Stand_Ram Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 In my opinion, only Hughes and Martin could make the step up now... Possibly Bent although he hasn't been given his chance here yet. Same with Albentosa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayweb95 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 This is too much Same would have been said a year and a half ago if some one would have said lets loan a real madrid prospect, Liverpools up and coming winger, buy a 6 foot 4 la liga team of the month center half, loan Darren Bent, and buy Leeds captain mid season because he wants to help our team out with experience.

And almost embarrassing thread as dcfcrammyboy Premier League squad thread though. Just wait in May then start talking. I know I will look ahead from that month onwards anyway!

Why is it everyone talking about it? This needs to be locked until we get promoted and talk from May onwards not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I will look ahead from that month onwards anyway! Hows this any different than the other 100 threads moaning about how inconsistent our players are? Anybody with a little common knowledge knows looking at our games against wigan, millwall, brentford, leeds, and boro know that our team needs rebuilding in areas, you lot moan about "we arent up yet" but whenever we win a few games on a trot against lower half teams everyone's on about how we're gonna win the league.

Posh Ram Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 You think Martin couldn't cut it but Christie could? Grant, hopefully Albentosa, Forsyth (just about, in a good defence), Thorne, Hughes, Russell and Martin would all be starters for me. Christie, Buxton, Warnock, Hendrick, Dawkins, Ward and Bent are strong Premier League bench players. Keogh, Shotton, Bryson, Coutts offer valuable depth and versatility (although I could see us selling Bryso and Keogh as we'd get a price well higher than their real value). Which leaves us, in my mind, needing Right-back Left-sided centre-back Backup defensive mid Left winger Substantial spending on quality players in those positions will mean that there isn't too much change in the lineup, and we'll have enough cash left to make some more signings in January if we need to to push us over the line. Still, all hypothetical - we've not been promoted and we've not finished our dealings in this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram8 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Not saying that we could , or should , do this , but if I remember rightly Swansea remained loyal to the 'core' of the team that got them promoted , and recruited gradually rather than immediately .. and look where they are now , despite Saturday's bad loss to Chelsea , an established top half Premier side ..
