thekingofbuxton Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I actually don't think we need much of we remain in the championship, that said here is my list (apologies if they have already been discussed) Bamford - pace through the middle (i suppose blackman could offer this but it seems unlikely to happen) i presume boro will try and sign him? Mccormack - versatile goal scorer - another to boro? Forestieri - similar to mccormack (offers something different) Pritchard - much coveted by us in the summer Ill post more as i think of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernRam Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I really think we need another striker who is reliable if we want to get out of this division, never made stay up in the PL if we get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I don't understand the hype about Bolton's Clough... not my favourites. If there's one player from that team to pick, surely it would be Rob(bie?) Holding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Maybe after the disastrous recruitment of the last 12 months, it's more relevant to discuss what type of players we need rather than just list players we like from other clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker who holds the ball up and brings others into play (if we're in the PL, he needs to be a starter. If we don't go up, just Martin's back-up) Intelligent centre-back who distributes well (PL) CDM good at breaking up play (PL) Fast wingers who offer a scoring threat (PL - 2; stay down - 1) Back-up goalie That would be my list atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a while we seem to have had guys who are talented but who lack footballing intelligence and mental focus. It's one of Chris Martin's strengths. He knows how to pick a pass and when to play it. It may not always come off but you can see the thought process. Will Hughes of course has it because he's a class act. It's all very well being able to crunch into a tackle or speed forwards but if you then lose the ball it's all in vain. I think we need a wise head in midfield, a strong centre half captain and a quick centre forward, but most of all, a coach who promotes a strong mental attitude.

EnigmaRam Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Maybe list players to go, players to keep. And determine what positions needs strengthening? players to go, grant, Baird, shot ton, Pearce, war nock, hendrick, Blackman, bent, bucko. to keep - Carson, Christie, keogh, shackell, Olson, fozzy, Thorne, Hanson, Hughes, Bryson, butter field, Johnson, Ince, Russell, Weiman and Martin. RB - back up CB - back up CDM - back up RW - new first choice CF - first choice or back up a couple of loans for me, they've proven effective in the past and good to se if they can play in this team playing the Derby Way ?

G-Ram Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 If we go up id like to get osman in as a swuad player, dont think he's an unrealistic target, has prem experiance & a hardworker would be a good addition not the most sexiest of signings just a steady option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starters or back-ups? Never thought I'd say this but I think Christie's shown this season that he fits well and could cope with the Premier League. But a back-up is a necessity. The problem with left back is that if we signed one, one of Fozzy and Olsson would be surplus to requirements. I'd hate for Forsyth to not get a chance in the Premier League after how he's played for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayweb95 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 So many IF's regarding our league status but IF we are to go up these are a few players I'd like to see us sign: Dwight Gayle, Abel Hernandez, Alex Pritchard, Timothy Fosu Mensah (Loan), Daryl Janmaat or Andre Wisdom, Jasper Cillessen (Pricey but imo not unrealistic), and Gylfi Sigurdsson (Maybe more on the unrealistic side but would be class alongside Hughes). Outgoings: Buxton, Pearce, Baird, Bent, Blackman, Albentosa, Grant, Roos (loaned back to AFC hopefully), Camara (for the sake of his career), and Hendrick (One of my favourite players but just don't think he's progressed at all this season).

He is on his day a capable Championship defender but he was roasted in embarrassing fashion by Martial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Whoever we are going to sign, I hope we don't do it just for numbers like last summer. So for me, no reason to sign back ups. Aim has to be more ambitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
