Gypsy Ram Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 So far or global network of scouts have uncovered: Shotton, Warnock, Christe and Albentosa. Have faith, more quality is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsilks Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Our back line who were trash for the last 3 months of the season would fetch more than that.Keogh would easily fetch £1.5m to £2m aloneThere is no way in hell that any club would pay more than £500,000 for Keogh.Forsyth around £100,000, Albentosa maybe £200,000 and Christie maybe £150,000.That's close to £1 million for our back line and I think we'd be doing well to get that.

I've read some stuff over the past few days - Calero in at left back was a personal highlight - but your stuff is absolute gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 He'd fit in well here - been in nothing short of horrific form since the turn of the new year.I'm not a fan purely because he losses the ball more than any other player in the Championship. He makes Fozzy look like Pirlo.I'm no fan of his either. I would say he is pretty similar to Fozzy. Except Fozzy makes great cross every now and then.

Apparently Albentosa was included in a La Liga Team of the month so those 'Teams of the year', Teams of the Month' etc mean nothing to me.I have seen Keogh enough this season and last to know that while he is a decent centre half, he is average at best at this level and therefore wouldn't command a huge transfer fee. Very error prone and clumsy on the ball. He's not as commanding as he was and appears to have lost his confidence.We bought him in for round about 1M. Are you trying to tell me that he has improved since then?This is all about opinion and I respect yours. Fair enough, you think our squad is worth a lot more than me. I just think the fans on here really over rate our players.We are what we are. An average middle of the table second tier side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcsilks Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 We turned down £1,5m last summer. His valuation surely ain't lower than that, vice versa.I never thought that was his true valuation. He was valued at that as only the one club were willing to pay it and yes, I believe it has gone down.Burnely were the only bidders and I think we all know that Dyche failed pretty miserably with his transfer dealings...a shame as I have the utmost respect for the man after doing such a wonderful job to bring Burnley up.

mcsilks Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yes, his true valuation was higher and therefore wasn't sold...And I hope you're right as if we do receive a bid, we'll snap their hands off and hopefully next season, our defence won't be our achilles heel.I would like to see a whole new back four next season.

Guest Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 An old head at the back - someone like Fabricio Coloccini. Hangeland from Palace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsilks Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hangeland from Palace? I was thinking of him the other day. Would be the perfect fit. He's merely warming their bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 There is no way in hell that any club would pay more than £500,000 for Keogh.Forsyth around £100,000, Albentosa maybe £200,000 and Christie maybe £150,000.That's close to £1 million for our back line and I think we'd be doing well to get that.Burnley supposedly offered somewhere between £1.5m and £2m last season.Since that point he has played every game for a team that just missed out on the play offs and was named in the team of the year as well as playing at international level.I am not a big fan of his but the facts that I have just pointed out show that people more qualified than me probably do.I'm afraid your suggestion of £500k is laughable.I also think we would get higher for the other 3 that you have mentioned, 2 of the 3 are internationals and the other supposedly had 12 clubs chasing his signature before he signed for us in January.Once again this is not my own take on the players abilities, this is just facts that would make them worth more than you give them credit for.

Guest Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 It would have been great if we could have got him before Christmas when he was really our of the picture there until Pardew joined. A footballing central defender he could make a real difference to our solidity I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hangeland from Palace? I think we could all come up with half a dozen names - and yes, he would be on many people's lists. The day Bucko injured himself/got barged off the ball and over the touchline at Cardiff at the end of January was the day the wheel nuts started to come loose, in hindsight.

An average middle of the table second tier side.My point wasn't about what you think he is worth, but what we could get for him.The inclusion in the PFA TOTY proves that he IS rated by his peers in the game, i.e, is rated to have some value. Your point may be right, I'm not his biggest fan, but he's certainly a player with a stock and one a lot bigger than 500k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale The Ram Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Grant/MarshallWisdom/Shotton Keogh/Rawson Albentosa/Buxton Forsyth/Warnock Thorne/Mascarell Hendrick/Bryson Hughes/CaleroInce/Ibe Russell/Ward Martin Marshal would be a great signing but I do like grant when hes on form.Wisdom hasn't lit it up for west brom, another loan to us? even a signing? think he has a long contract at 'PoolIf Hughes goes id try and get Mascarell or just see if Calero or Guy can step upIbe on loan is unlikely, Ince might be possibleThere is no replacement for Martin in my eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Surprised people are suggesting we should sign Omar don't think he impressed certainly not in the CDM position he was a bit of a liability tbh.
