IamLeGod Posted 19 July, 2009 Posted 19 July, 2009 Henri Camara, Glenn Little and Jerome Thomas are all without a club at the moment. Thomas is on trial at hull, he played in their friendly yesterday i think...looks like he will go there mate
sentry Posted 19 July, 2009 Posted 19 July, 2009 What are your thoughts on these? HCDAGJFC Ryan Thomas - Hull - Left Wing - Free Transfer Carl Hoefkens - WBA - CB - Free Transfer David Connolly - Sunderland - Striker - Free Transfer Henri Camara - Wigan - Striker - Free Transfer Ezomo Iriekpen - Bristol City - CB - Free Transfer Radhi Jaidi - Blues - CB - Free Transfer Patrick Kisnorbo - Leicester - CB - Free Transfer (wants Championship football but could be tempted by us?) there were others but i dont ahve all day. I have done your work for you Ap, now go get a couple. Pip xxx
saint-crinny Posted 19 July, 2009 Posted 19 July, 2009 Seen a lot if Aldershot in last two seasons as they got promoted from Blue Sq Prem to League 2. Kirk Hudson is a pacy winger/striker with good eye for goal and would be cheap - they are desperate for money. They have also had Scott Davies - central midfielder - on loan from Reading for both seasons. Scored a load of goals in BSP and got another 15 last season in League 2. Good value for a few screamers. Back at Reading now but not quite good enough to start for them and I think they will be looking to loan him out again - probably to a League 1 club this time - and we are obviously local.
shurlock Posted 19 July, 2009 Posted 19 July, 2009 (edited) What are your thoughts on these? HCDAGJFC Patrick Kisnorbo - Leicester - CB - Free Transfer (wants Championship football but could be tempted by us?) kisnorbo's a good player - dirty but gets a few goals from set pieces- something which we've lacked. don't think he'll want to drop down, though. Edited 19 July, 2009 by shurlock
crouchi Posted 19 July, 2009 Posted 19 July, 2009 The one genuinely exciting player we've had in years - I think we still have a while to wait before the next one
Wildgoose Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 Saw somewhere that Markus Bent is being made available on loan by Birmingham. Maybe HCDAJFU in League 1.......what do others think?
SaintsAddict Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 The one genuinely exciting player we've had in years - I think we still have a while to wait before the next one If you are refering to Camara then yeah he was genuinely exciting, however I think Theo was as exciting, if not more so. Not that either would DAJFU at the moment. Whats Darren Moore doing these days anyone because HCDAJFU?
labibs Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 If you are refering to Camara then yeah he was genuinely exciting, however I think Theo was as exciting, if not more so. Not that either would DAJFU at the moment. Whats Darren Moore doing these days anyone because HCDAJFU? Think he's playing for Barnsley in the CCC. Unlikely to drop down a division. Agree he would be a great signing for us though. Why do people mention the likes of Camara? I'm not sure he would even consider the Championship, let alone league 1! A bit more realism needed perhaps.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 West Ham are preparing Quashie to be sent out on loan this season, chdajfu at this level? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/8158222.stm

Wildgoose Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 Simon King - Gillingham Neal Eardley - Oldham Chris Taylor - Oldham Steven Dawson - Bury Danny Livesey - Carlise Chris Shuker - Tranmere Tommy Docherty - Wycombe We were linked with Doherty a few seasons ago when he was with Bristol City weren't we? Might well fit the bill now....a good shout
MerceSaint28 Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 Yeah we really need to make some moves pretty soon. Without sounding like a small impatient child and with 2 weeks until the season starts, Pards needs to get a detailed analysis from Henderson about what we need and get cracking this week. Really we need to be signing the best players available and look to mesh them into the team. For a start our squad is thread bare and trying to play a 46 game season, plus 3 cups on top requires serious squad depth. Providing Euell and John sign, this would feel like 2 new signings. We really lack any influential players in the team, leaders are needed. I feel a player like Graham Kavanagh would be good to bring some steel into the team and allow players like Schneiderlin to play. We also lack creation from the middle of the park, Quashie would be very good but i feel he will want a championship club. Obviously competition on the wings is a must as Thomson is not yet strong enough and may be worth another loan at Bournemouth and Holmes is very injury prone. We could also do with boosting our attack and getting in some steel at the back, here are some suggestions Centre back - Sam Sodje free Patrick Kisnorbo free Godwin Antwi free Zak Whitbread 250k Jack Hobbs loan Right back - Phil Ifil 250k Graham Murty free Left back - Dan Harding free Michael Ball free Rene Steer free Matt Richards Centre Midfield - Amaury Bischoff free Graham Kavanagh 100k Nigel Quashie loan Matthew Holland free Claus Jorgenson free Right Midfield - Paul Ifill free John Oster free Striker - James Scowcroft free Rui Fonte free David Connelly free Collins John free Steve Kabba free Leroy Lita free Michael Mifsud free Stefan Moore free Vincent Pericard free Sibierski free Lambert £1mill Siemeon Jackson - £500k Just goes to show the talent available on free's. We could get our squad together by paying absolutely nothing. I think there are some very realistic targets there and more importantly better than what we already have. Thoughts people ???
Alanh Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 I'm not convinced that we want Euell at all. He could not control a ball to save his life last year and just because he is playing in a divison lower this season I doubt he will have improved that aspect of his game. I think we need either Stern or Rasiak, not both, so signing him depends on whether we sell Rasiak or not. We certainly need pace up front so I'd go for someone like Lita if he would drop to L1 and we can afford his wages. Steve Kabba might even be a decent option but I don't know how old he is or if he has any pace now. I think we are OK on the right wing with James being my first choice, but agree we need a left sided player to be first choice ahead of Holmes. We definitely need back up for central defence if Thomas and Perry are first choice. It is odds on that Thomas won't get to the end of August before he misses a game through injury.

Agree no cost much up front - but the wages might be a stumbling point in getting them to come to Div.1
WATERSIDEIFASAINT Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 Have any of the free transfer forwards got any pace?That is what we seriously need upfront assuming we keep John,Patterson and maybe Saga.I would personally bring in Lambert and Connelly upfront if we can't get Lita which I think is very unlikely as Sheff Unt fans think he is signing for them. Kandol,Varney,Gray & Mcleod have all been bought by Pardew and one of them could easily be a target?Varney scored loads of goals for Crewe at this level and is not getting in the Derby team.Maybe worth a look at. We need a very nippy winger who can actually cross a ball(premiership loan maybe) and a central midfielder who can control the game.Also a right back and commanding central defender. 4/5 signings and keeping Murty,Mills and John and we should have a team capable of reaching the play offs. We could then add loans if Lallana,Schneiderlin,Holmes etc don't regain their confidence and start proving themselves or if we get crucial injuries

beavis17 Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 Leon Mckenzie is a free agent, he would be a better replacement for bwp
saintsmike25 Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 I was reading up on Glenn Hoddles academy and they seem to be beating good division two sides & the occasional La Liga side. Surely if we could get a scout look at one or two of these players they'd be able to play in this league. With the added assurance they've been working hard at the technical side of their game at the academy and training non-stop. Recently a few of the players have been snapped up by Spanish sides and the work is paying off. I've heard good things about James Simmonds and Michael Noone.
saintrich Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 Leon Mckenzie is a free agent, he would be a better replacement for bwp Good shout for league one.
Dog Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Tommy Docherty - Wycombe Best player in the league IMO.
SNSUN Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 I'm looking forward to ANY signings tbf. I'm nearly permanently glued to SSN when not at work for updates!
IamLeGod Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Beckham is unhappy in LA, he could DEFO do a job for us in League 1, C'moc markus he'd make his wages back in shirt sales...
saints_is_the_south Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 (edited) First signing to be announced this afternoon: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/4503589.Saints_on_the_verge_of_first_Pardew_signing/ So the squad looks like this with Harding signing: GK: Davis, Bialkowski, Forecast, Poke D: Murty (trial), James, Thomas, Perry, Lancashire, Harding, Mills, Saville, Molyneux, Reeves M: Wotton, Holmes, Schneiderlin, Gillett, Lallana, Thomson, Boyle, Gobern, Pulis, McNish S: Saganowski, Rasiak, White, Paterson, John?

Saint Fan CaM Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 First signing to be announced this afternoon: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/4503589.Saints_on_the_verge_of_first_Pardew_signing/ So the squad looks like this with Harding signing: GK: Davis, Bialkowski, Forecast, Poke D: Murty (trial), James, Thomas, Perry, Lancashire, Harding, Mills, Saville, Molyneux, Reeves M: Wotton, Holmes, Schneiderlin, Gillett, Lallana, Thomson, Boyle, Gobern, Pulis, McNish S: Saganowski, Rasiak, White, Paterson, John? Based on that I think we still need a decent big CB, a fast RW, a tough CAM and another proven experienced striker (i.e. with 15 goals in him). That's only 4 more players and many could be free per above list. Midfield positions are probably the most important though as without service the strikers will all struggle.
saint1977 Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 First signing to be announced this afternoon: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/4503589.Saints_on_the_verge_of_first_Pardew_signing/ So the squad looks like this with Harding signing: GK: Davis, Bialkowski, Forecast, Poke D: Murty (trial), James, Thomas, Perry, Lancashire, Harding, Mills, Saville, Molyneux, Reeves M: Wotton, Holmes, Schneiderlin, Gillett, Lallana, Thomson, Boyle, Gobern, Pulis, McNish S: Saganowski, Rasiak, White, Paterson, John? Out of that lot, one of the keepers is probably off. James is more likely to feature in midfield (where he should be) but I'd anticipate Pulis and Molyneux are going and White will probably be loaned out again to gain sharpness after that nasty injury last term. Saga may be off as well.
Toadhall Saint Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Can't be arsed to go through all of these but has anyone mentioned Robbie Savage?
saints_is_the_south Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 (edited) The rumour about Max Gradel on 606 is probably BS but he'd be a great signing, just what we need for right wing. If we could get him then we could line up something like this: ---------------------------------Davis (Poke)------------------------- James (Murty)----Thomas (Lancashire)----Whitbread (Perry)---Harding (Mills) Gradel (Thomson)---Lallana (Schneiderlin)---Gillett (Wotton)---Holmes (?) --------------------Rasiak (Paterson)-------Saganowski (John)--------- So sign Gradel & we'd still need imo a left winger to compete with Holmes & a center back, if we can get rid of Lancashire then we can get 2 CB's in. Also if Saga goes then another ST. I see Zak Whitbread from Millwall is available, he'd be a very good signing at CB. Edited 21 July, 2009 by saints_is_the_south
Rasiak-9- Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 We need a bag of pace up front and have done for a while Anyone thought about getting Blacktrick Agyemang on loan from QPR? I don't remember him playing much in their first team or having much fun last season at all so maybe we could nab him on loan?
saints_is_the_south Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Probably been mentioned but Zak Whitbread from Millwall is available? Would be good at CB alongside Thomas, Perry & somebody else as back up & then offload Lancashire. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/millwall/8151875.stm
JustMike Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Lambert from rovers should be a priority. Quality player
MerceSaint28 Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Totally agree about Whitbread and Lambert. I feel Pards is going to overhaul the squad and get rid of the losing metality. I would be over the moon with the following signings - Harding - done Volz Whitbread Sodje Hendry Ifill Delfounso (loan) Lambert Simeon Jackson Hows that??
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 pardew has quoted on OS that he hopes to see a few more quality arrivals come in before start of season which is promising. rikki lambert has to be a realistic target surely? zak whitbread would be good but i suspect he wants a move to champ team.
RonManager Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Totally agree about Whitbread and Lambert. I feel Pards is going to overhaul the squad and get rid of the losing metality. I would be over the moon with the following signings - Harding - done Volz Whitbread Sodje Hendry Ifill Delfounso (loan) Lambert Simeon Jackson Hows that?? Ifill gone abroad today SSN
Crowds Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 i'd like to see Mifsud McKensie Lita Hendrie Volz Paramot outside chance of quashie on loan or henri camara!
skintsaint Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 outside chance of quashie on loan or henri camara! would he want to come back here? Remember the ripping he got when he played for WBA and got injured down in front of the Northam, was amusing.
Melbourne Saint Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Ifill gone abroad today SSN Yep, joined Wellington Phoenix in the A-League. You guys would know more than me on the players over there that we should be looking at but Adrian Leijer at Fulham is one player I would suggest if they want to loan him out again. He's a young aussie central defender that's been at Fulham for 2 seasons. He finished last season on loan at Norwich.
hypochondriac Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 The rumour about Max Gradel on 606 is probably BS but he'd be a great signing, just what we need for right wing.

Also if Saga goes then another ST. I see Zak Whitbread from Millwall is available, he'd be a very good signing at CB. Still too lightweight in the centre. We need a bruiser and I would certainly have John over Saga.
EBS1980 Posted 22 July, 2009 Posted 22 July, 2009 Johnnie Jackson has just handed in a transfer request at Colchester. A midfielder i always thought was good as thought Saints needed last season. Worth a look i reckon.
Melbourne Saint Posted 22 July, 2009 Posted 22 July, 2009 Centre back - Patrick Kisnorbo free Just signed with Leeds unfortunately.
OldNick Posted 22 July, 2009 Posted 22 July, 2009 Ed Asafa-Adjaye Luton defender, is quality.He was a star for them in the Johnson paint final. Can play full back or in the middle.He played against Steve Fletcher against Bournemouth as centre half and blotted him out of the game so much they had to take Fletcher off.Now in this league we will need players who can cope against big men.He is not of massive build but reminds me of Paul parker, quick , athletic and a spring in his jump, add to that he is comfortable on the ball.i do know he turned down a PL side as he wanted first team football at this stage in his career.If any club scouts do ever read this he may well be worht a look.
SNSUN Posted 22 July, 2009 Posted 22 July, 2009 I see Al Bangura of Watford is on a free. Wants fresh challenge. Could do a job, gritty midfielder, difficult life, only 21.
Crowds Posted 22 July, 2009 Posted 22 July, 2009 how about nathan Tyson from notts forest? gotta be down the pecking order now and he bagged a few in this league iirc?
