SNSUN Posted 15 May, 2010 Share Posted 15 May, 2010 I don't want Doherty here, but I am suprised he was released - however I liken him to Wayne Thomas, and we certainly don't want him (apparently) so no, we don't need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lethallee Posted 15 May, 2010 Share Posted 15 May, 2010 We need to get a proper left winger in to bring total balance to the team and I would not shed any tears if we sold Lallana as I dont think he brings ENOUGH to the team! Lallana is one of the most talented players outside PL. His goals and assist count last season proves how vital he was to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenue Saint Posted 16 May, 2010 Share Posted 16 May, 2010 Would love to see Austin here next season if Swindon don't make it. Seems to have potential to become that "complete" striker. Has pace, height, strength and knows where goal is. Would also like to have a stab at Jackson. I think by far the best combo we have had up front this season has been lambbo and Connolly. Jackson has got a good touch like Connolly but has pace too. Hopefully Connors gets signed up but just can see us getting 40 games out of him next season so Simeon Jackson, please. An attacking central mid is must, take your pick out of Arfield, Stock, Danns etc.. Calderon will come in at r/back as it seems is the case and I dont think he'll get another in there as will use harding to cover with Mills and Seaborne if needed on left. I think we'll have Antonio back too to support Punch and Lallana. Think, we might see two or three more go before summer is up also. Roll on next season! COYS.

markr27 Posted 16 May, 2010 Share Posted 16 May, 2010 Still think we should go for Simon Francis at Southend - he's expressed a desire to move to 'a Championship or a top league one' club. Another name that appears highly rated is a chap at Stockport... Johnny Mullins. He's out of contract now I believe and at 24/5 could be at the right age for the journey.

DeMerit would be a fantastic signing at CB, Watford are mental to let him go, but they can't really afford his wages. He was rumoured to be on slightly less than 10k at Watford last season, only slightly less than Mule was on when he was with us! Worth spending the £££ on Jay though imo.

It would be wasting nearly £10k a week and potentially stopping either Seabourne and Martin in gaining first team experience. The wages would be better spent in getting a third centre midfielder to push Hammond and Schniederlin for a place or to bring Antonio/Waigo back.

Smirking_Saint Posted 17 May, 2010 Share Posted 17 May, 2010 I think it's time to buy Beattie back. He'll be leaving Stoke, no doubt. He could get a higher club, but we can afford him, pay him well, and he's only got a few years left. He liked it here, still likes the club and could probably be convinced. Okay, he's in a similar mould to Lambert, but it doesn't mean they couldn't play together. I think it'd just mean we had two excellent goalscorers for this league, and mean we could cope if either was injured for a while. So long as we add a fast winger to replace Antonio/Waigo, we'd be getting a lot of goals. Beattie/Lambert/Connolly/Barnard would be perhaps the best strikeforce outside the top flight. A player that has done reletively f*ck all since he left us ?? We don't play his type of football anymore, Lambert is younger, puts in more effort, has far far better first touch. Beatts would struggle to get into the team ahead of him IMO, we definately don't need to pay a past it one time wonder mega bucks, and i certainly don't want to see the arrogant c*nt hanging around my bars any time soon. TBH i think we are pretty much ok for strikers, and next year would like us to play 4-5-1 anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afterall, how much would WBA get for him knowing they just want him off their books (while earning a good wage)? He'll be at the World Cup too so any negotiations will have to wait a bit.

Yep he had a fall out with Di Matteo, who wasnt playing him regularly start of the year, and then played him out wide instead of in the centre, which he also sulked about. He won't play in L1!!
