pangy

This transfer is becoming boring and tedious now,thank god the window closes on Friday

Because we are building for the future!! Lambert will not be around forever.and we need a squad to survive in the prem not just a team

Shawcross woudnt come to us as he believes he can get into the England squad,I would imagine he would view us as a step back

Hangeland ? Fulham???? I would take him for sure

The people moaning about us signing another attacking player obviously did not see the Wigan game,can you not see that if you play 433 you have to have pace on the wings,none of the players that played against Wigan had pace and that was our first team. For this formation to work we will have to adapt,if that means getting players in that can play there then so be it. Everyone is a armchair manager myself included so don't worry about no cb signings yet they will come. NA and NC will know what we need and will get them

I think he is more of a inside fwd that can play wide and cut in. You have to remember you need a squad in the prem not just a team,the one thing our team lacks is pace and this guy looks like he has more than enough

Hopefully the first of many

We need a 433 left back that I know Fox is not a 433 LB, he is more suited 442

This. They earn enough £££ to hire a full time driver

Quite a gamble considering he pays in the Swiss league Hopefully it works out and we get a explosive winger that takes defences apart for fun at a fraction of the price for Phillips

This will easily go over 100 pages today. I am hoping that this turns out to be a great signing and he is the player we think he is.

I know YouTube vids count for nothing but he looks decent,exactly the type of full back we need, a lot of those clips were in the last 20-30 mins of a game and he was still bursting down the wings,he may well of been a sub though so there is no telling. I would be excited about this signing if it has any legs

On the Fontas thread granted it may be a wiki source but says Andreu Fontàs is a commanding center back, but he isn't only limited to that position. He can move up to play defensive midfielder and this year he proved that, if necessary, he can fill in at left back. His tackling is excellent, but he struggles when he faces speedy opponents as he doesn't possess the necessary pace.

Apparently has no pace,no good as a lb in a 433 if slow

In all fairness you would be better taking a punt on David Bentley than Joe Cole.

That applies to 90% of players out there

Dawson is 9 mill upwards,wages would be huge and the reason they are off loading is because of his reoccurring Achilles injury Please god I hope we don't buy him

Ramirez Dann And get a full back in on loan from a Seria Ateam

I thought Simon Peach had a direct quote from NA saying no chance would he be coming in

I know he is a striker but there is no chance he will play in the middle of the font 3,hence why I classed him as a winger

SDR out on loan? getting some games would be good for him

We need at least 4 players imo. If we are sticking to 433 we need a LB that will support the LW and put in crosses you see players like Clichy,A cole,Essou-Ekotto,Evra,Gibbs etc do this on a weekly basis,or if not Fox needs to support more Clyne has looked decent but he needs to support more,at the moment he looks more like a 442 defender,this hopefully is down to lack of experience and he will get there,but if he gets injured do we have the cover to replace him? 2 wingers,SDR is obviously not in contention,Lee is not fit (yet) and unproven,and what is happening to Punch is anyone's guess? A CB I think we can all agree we need 1 at the very least maybe 2 A keeper?? I am not so sure,KD has done well for us I don't think he has been at fault for any of the goals,he could of done better against Tevez but 9 times out of 10 the player will go across goal. So for me we need at least 4 players at most 6. I feel we have left it to late to get these players in,and if not who are we going to get? Buying players from Europe may save you millions but the prem is a hard league and you run the risk of them not adapting

I am not questioning NA's ability as a manager but do you think that he thinks that we can play like we did in the championship and win in the prem? We didn't have much pace in the championship but our style of passing would break teams down.It doesn't work like that in the prem at all and not with the quality of players we have Playing 433 is a great formation but to do that you need 2 fast wingers and 2 full backs with a great engine that can run up and down the wings for 90 mins to overlap the wingers and put balls in. We dont have that on the wings with J-rod/Guly so I am not sure why he persists with that.

I am pity sure that Spurs are about to drop £20mill on Willians,who would play the same role so I doubt they will go in for him

Interview with NA on the OS saying he should be starting Tuesday
