Liverpool will send Nathan Eccleston to Charlton on loan for the rest of the season according to SKY. Perhaps they are loaning out some youngsters to get new players into the 25 player squad?

 

youngsters don't form part of the 25

If they've already got someone who is that good at 17, why would they want to try to sign Chamberlain?

 

I suspect the home grown European rule is in their thinking

any reason why you wouldn't want two, three or eleven potentially world class 17 year olds at your club?

The home grown rule only applies to players over the age of 21, and by training at Liverpool for three years before he's 21, he'll count as home grown.

 

(It's because of this I think that Owen Hargreaves doesn't count as home grown)

 

Nationality doesn't come into it to get around EU employment laws.

Lee Cook supposedly looking for a loan move. Fantastic player if my memory serves me right and would give us another option on the wings.

 

Good player but we already have one injury prone winger called Lee in the squad.

Robbie savage has just tweeted he wants away from Derby,be it now or end of the season.

He has been offered a contract at Vancouver White Caps,but he is not sure due to family not settling and even not going out there.He also wants to carry on his media work here.

Rio Ferdinand is trying to persuade him he would be stupid to go.

I say go in for him,make an offer,he still has something to offer,imo.

I suggested him on this very thread about two weeks ago. Absolutey ideal replacement for Puncheon. Top, top player. He's not injury prone, he had a terrible injury when he came back to QPR and then the medical staff made a major error in terms of their asessment of his injury and brought him back far too early. Warnock words. He is apparently fully recovered now, he just needs matches to get fully fit. I'm not sure we can give him them, but if Puncheon goes then we MUST have cover for Alex.

He was decent at Brum, but has got worse every season since. He brings experience, but do we honestly need that. The likes of Davis, Fonte, Richardson, Hammond and Lambert have all been around for yonks so we have plenty of that. If we are going to sign a centre midfielder then Jose Sameda for me. He has played in the championship and did well. Unlike Savage he is improving every year. Having fallen from grace now is the time to bring in players good players that are improving not players who's best days have gone.

Don't think you have ever mentioned this semedo bloke before Chezer ?

Nice. One of these days one of the players I suggest will be bought. The closesest I've got is suggesting Puncheon when he was at Barnet.

Posted

Sky Sports mentioned us scouting him in December, but been told today that one of our bids made IS for Palace winger Kieron Cadogan. No I wont tell you my tomato sauce.

Posted

Ryan Harley isn't playing for Exeter tonight - is that because he's injured or is he talking to another club. He's one if the players we've been linked with.

Avoid the "Beckham" factor of getting someone in who may upset our balance, only invest (for now) in areas where we see weakness or light in cover... then push on... it should be enough for this season. Then if we go up take stock and push on. If we do not go up (gulp), then it could be a massive clearout.

Posted (edited)

If and when we make any signing it should be someone that can not only fulfill a role now, but also be capable of doing a job in the Championship.

Preperation for the step up should begin now, where possible.

Any player worth his salt should be able to realise that we making major strides on the field of play and behind the scenes.

Apparently Bartley started as a midfielder so another versatile player. I don't know much about him at all but seems to have had a fair bit of interest shown in him by other clubs. At 24 he'd be the right age for us as well.

Posted

I'd describe Bartley as more of a midfielder personally. Great engine on him, doesn't mind a tackle and gets in the box. And although they've rejected £100k sounds like he'd be relatively cheap.

 

And the Cherries fans love him so would be particularly amusing watching them have a paddy if we got him! Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!

If Lallana is injured, we should be targeting Michael Kightly on loan from Wolves imo. Don't think he's in Wolves' 25 because he was injured for the first part of the season, but he'd be quality at this level.

Posted

IMO Charlie Austin,Ryan Harley and Woolford = Automatic promotion.

 

Today showed we still lack strength in depth for all the people who have been harping on here that we don't need to sign anyone.Oscar Gobern is not ready,we had no alternatives on the wings with Lallana and Holmes injured and if NA doesn't rate Connelly and won't play him from the bench we need another option there.

 

This squad might get automatic promotion but with 2/3 quality additions I would feel very confident not just hopeful.I agree we shouldn't just buy anyone and we need quality.We should use the loan system like all of our rivals if we can't secure our targets

Totally spot on with the sentance in bold!!

 

Austin and Woolford would be great, cany comment on Ryan Harley though.

Agree 100% with all of that, even down to the specific players you mentioned. Offer the cash now and get them in.

Agree with most and would not mind the players you mention but rather than Woolford I'd like to see us put £1.5m in front of Huddersfield for Pilkington.
