benjii Posted 29 January, 2011 Share Posted 29 January, 2011 Personally, I would like to move away from the situation where Chambo starts every week. If a good winger is available then we should be interested IMO. Lallana can play right if it's a leftie. Mind you, now we have N'Guessan we effectively have two right wing options and three left wing options (if you include Dicko) so if he turns out good we should be ok. Would ideally like some serious competition for Lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cox on loan would be a damn good signing for us. I think in the season before last - Lambert, Beckford & Cox were far and away the best strikers in the league.

Rebel Posted 30 January, 2011 Share Posted 30 January, 2011 Norwich were interested in Lee Barnard when we bought him and I think we were interest in Simeon Jackson over the summer so it could happen. Maybe if they chuck Surman on loan into the deal as well - that's if he's close to playing again - it would make sense for us. We desperately need some pace upfront which Jackson would give us and we could do with Surman to add some depth in midfield and it would give us someone who could pass the ball at the level ad Morgan and Chaplow.

Smirking_Saint Posted 30 January, 2011 Share Posted 30 January, 2011 If fit Surman will play for Norwich. I like Barnard, he is a cracking little player.

Rebel Posted 30 January, 2011 Share Posted 30 January, 2011 Barnard certainly didn't look like he could make the step up yesterday - and he might be unavailable for a little while as well! Hopefully it was just an off day but maybe just maybe we should be looking for another striker. Overall he's probably a better striker than Jackson but we need real pace and he might just be getting frustrated at not playing every game and not being first a first choice striker. Maybe he'd welcome a move to Norwich, up a division and a team on the edge of the Premietship. He might also fancy a move away from any off field issues in Southampton. In the long run we are going to need to replace both Lambert and Barnard - yesterday convinced me of that if nothing else - if we are going to go all the way back to the premiership.

Was this ever in doubt? Do some people seriously think Lambert and Barnard would be a potent strike force in the Prem? They are decent players and could do fine in the Championship but if our ambitions are as stated (ie not just scrabbling about at the bottom of the Prem) then evidently we would sign better players.

Chez Posted 30 January, 2011 Share Posted 30 January, 2011 I thought Barnard looked like a player that hasn't played a lot - falling over his own feet, treading on the ball etc. - but at his best he is good at this level. Moving up a level he lacks the pace to really hurt centre backs. Tyson or suchlike would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only person I can think of who ever said Lambert was good enough for the Premier League was Pardew! I'm starting to worry that they are not good enough for the Championship - and possibly not good enough to get us out of League 1 this season. We need a 20 goal striker - if not two - to get us automatic promotion this season. The play-offs are a lottery at best - and when it comes to luck ours ran out a long long time ago! As it stands right now I am starting to worry about promotion this season. We are really suffering for not having the stability in management and team set-up that Huddersfield and Brighton have got - the momentum is with them at the moment. If we don't make it up this season it will be a complete rebuild over the summer as we will lose Fonte, Morgan, Lallana and Chamberlain without a doubt. Lambert, Guly and Barnard as well probably. Adkins is the right man for that - but it might take him another 2 or 3 seasons to build a team that is good enough to go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
