sage Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 We haven't signed anyone this summer which I can half understand but over the last few days 3 players look to be moving to our Championship rivals who all would have made a real positive impact on our team. McCormack, Clark and Pritchard look to be moving to Villa. Newcastle and Brighton respectively. Three players I would love to have been at the iPro this season. Has there been any other summer signings that Championship sides have made that you wish had come instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Would have liked Matt Ritchie, would have made a lot of sense. Saying that I don't really see it as a missed opportunity as I couldn't see him turning Newcastle down to come here. McCormack really doesn't bother me in the slightest, not for the money he's going for which is nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inglorius Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Adebayo Akinfenwa would have been a quality signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayRam1 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 yer Matt Ritchie and Pritchard would of been good here. Also wouldn't of minded dwight gayle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Can't really think of anyone to be honest. Pritchard would be decent and at reasonable money in this barmy transfer market that he could increase in value. i wouldn't touch McCormack as he doesn't have potential sell on value. clark a decent player but not sure he improves us too much if at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmycock Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Of or have £32m to spend?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 More like £22m upfront. Of course we aren't sure how much me were offered for Hendrick but £8m has been quoted. Last year we spent £13m and went backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papahet Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Wouldn't have minded O'Dowda for the money Bristol paid. Good, young tricky winger who like's to get a shot on goal. Another player we missed out on who barely ever get's mentioned, Tom Bradshaw. Think we waiting to get in a Prem loan or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiddingsRam Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 @sage! Are they actually any better than what we've already got ? For arguments sake say our favoured formation is going to be 4 4 1 1 . Keogh kept clark out if the Ireland team , Pritchard is not a better player than Ince plus Ince has bags more experience at this level , McCormack? Yeah maybe but not that much better and at 30 and potentially £14 million I'm happy enough on missing out on him . As David said earlier in the thread Matt Ritchie is someone I would have liked to have seen here but I bet Newcastle are paying him ludicrous wages .

Mostyn6 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 the only players I'd be comfortable leaving out are the central defenders, and even they'd be a tough choice. Off the back of that, I'm not too fussed about the players that have moved in the last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I suppose It must be a bit because I am a half fan but I spend little time looking at the oposition. In recent times Very few players opposition players seem to have stood out head and shoulders. Dunk for sure, yeah Prichard, liked Greys Pace. Feeney was a real centre forward, loved Bamfords ability to run and beat a man and shoot but the bottom line is, in this league I am struggling to see a dream player that is significantly better than what we have. So .. Not really in answer to the OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
