Mary Hindge Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Has he been injured most the season? He has only played 17 matches all season (15 for Wigan and 2 for Scotland) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnClement Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 There are a lot of good players on this list, some of whom will be given new contracts by their clubs, and others who will interest other Premiership clubs. I doubt whether we will be able to match the wages offerred. The way forward has to be trying to sign players aged 20-25 who will stay at the club for 5 years and develop. However what concerns me is the lack of contacts and scouting set up which the club management appears to have. We are not going to progress if our signings are restricted just to those who have played for or impressed against Burton Albion. Similarly we need to be getting good players into the academy which doesnt seem to be happening as none of them ever seem to be in contention for a game no matter how many injuries we have.

CumbrianRam Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Looks like Clough doesn't think so. Maybe it's just rumours but i don't like players we have been linked with... Phillips, Bowyer, Eustace, Foster and now Kabba. They are hardly young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramsbottom Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Taking into account the fact we could possibly pay more than the who they currently play for, I'd say Michael Kightly Jlloyd Samuel Tamir Cohen Joey O’Brien Ricardo Gardner Jordon Mutch are realistic targets. The rest will either be given improved contracts where they are or have offers from better clubs. it could be argued that any of these could be worth a gamble for middle to lower tier Prem sides or teams within the Championship who, arguably, are a more attractive proposition than us. As much as I'd like to think we could attract players like Lee Bowyer James McFadden Nigel Reo-Coker John Carew Benjani Mwaruwari Johan Elmander Diomansy Kamara Ricardo Fuller we'll be signing steady Eddy Championship journeymen after one last pay day or prospects from League 1 & 2. Pretty much what we're doing now but we'll have the ability to pay a little more for them and not rely so much on loans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 some of the names being mentioned are incredible, just because they're out of contract doesn't mean they're not wanted, players like Seb and McFadden are running down their contract by choice, they're key players in the birmingham squad.. if Mutch is out of contract (still) I would love to see us go in for him, was brilliant for watford. I also don't think there is anyone on the Blackpool list which is unrealistic if they're relegated, since their wage cap is very low... some of their players might get moves elsewhere however, Gary Taylor-Fletcher would be a very possible signing, I'd care to bet on him being on less than half our squad.

Gaspode Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 have I missed something? - as far as I am aware, we've stated that we're after experienced championship level players and that free transfers are seen as better value than paying large fees - where did we say we'd be trying to pick up PL players? I doubt that we'll get anyone from the Prem unless they are from one of the relegated teams or coming to the end of their careers and after a longer contract than they can get at a higher level (so Bowyer/Phillips may fit the bill, but would blow our wage structure to pieces.....) - the distinction that Glick made this year over the last couple of seasons is that they've recognised we need more championship experience so we won't be going exclusively for lower league players - you can dream all you want about Reo-coker, Larsson or Carew - it ain't going to happen.....
