None too sure if you could play Sigurdsson and Lallana in the same side though, similar roles?

that and sigurdsson seems to operate as an advanced CM of a three......where as we play more of 2 sitting CM with the wide players offering more creativity when they cut in, one of our strikers pulls out wide

Thats how we play this season...could we really play 2 up front in most games away from home next season?

I think Pilkington is a much better player than Snodgrass tbh.
Pilkington has pace and no matter what anyone says that is very important, especially out wide.

can you recall whether Swansea played 4-4-2 in the championship then reverted to one up front in the Prem? Wonder if we will look to do the same?

Manure are in for Sigurdsson apparently. I don't think we will come close to getting him. So that's the end of that argument.

I would like to see us make moves for the following:

 

1) Peter Whittingham - Great dead ball delivery & takes a great (left sided) freekick

 

2) Jordan Rhodes - Had numerous Premier League scouts watching him a couple of months ago. 1 that could be a surprise package in the Premier League; &

 

3) Matt Phillips - Great pace, has a trick, direct & still young. I think he would scare the sh*t out of some Premiership full backs given the oppourtunit

 

 

 

you know that may not be so stupid as it might sound.

Rhodes obviously would want to play at the highest level possible, and there aren't any "big name " team in Yorkshire these day (unless the locals persist in reckoning with Leeds), but if Hudd f'd fail to qual. throught the play-offs AGAIN..then he would be a good buy - when you consider we have a number of squad players who have good L1 experience, and CDAJF them in a part-ex deal.

 

Even if a Northern club comes in for him, there's no guarantee he would be a first choice pålayer with Liverpool or Newcastle.

Burnley have turned down 2 bids from Premier League teams for Jay Rodriguez. One included Kieran Trippier and a player swap #twitterclarets

 

Can't be much of secret that we'll need a new right back really so I'd think that we might well be one of those teams.

Not so sure whether we need Rodriguez though but if Nigel thinks we do then I guess he's right.

Didn't realise that Trippier was actually Burnley's player of the season, really rated up there.

 

To be fair, we seem to like Burnley full backs.

I thought we missed a trick when Burnley signed Trippier, quality player imo. Quick, good delivery and a good engine. Coupled with Jay Rod that would be a fantastic deal.

According to Alan Nixon on twitter, Burnley want in excess of 8m just for Jay Rod, so that deal is now dead.

 

It is considering what the gentlemans agreement was!

 

They are simply being greedy and, so I'm led to believe, the player and his parents don't want to miss out on a move and are putting pressure on the club.

 

Jay Rods dad was a time served "face" back in the day.

They want 8m at the moment when there is a whole summer to negotiate.

 

For 8m you would expect to be getting established PL quality or a player who has done well in France/Holland or equivalent.

£8 Million?!!? Are they off their t*ts???? Mental...

 

Watch that price coming crashing down as the weeks go buy. No need for them to settle for less just yet. No way will anyone pay 8M for a championship striker in the final year of his contract.

Surely this is just basic negotiation. Burnley will be demanding £8m knowing full well they will have to settle for about 5 eventually. We probably stuck a price tag on AOC nearer £20m when Arsenal came calling, that's just how it works.

even if it cost us 10 mil for JRod and Trippier, which I doubt it really would, add in the 2 ish mil for Sharp thats 3 good players with lots of potential for the loss of Oxo. Seems like a great overall deal to me.

Which deal was Nixon bang-on about with us? Was it the Sharp deal?

 

Sharp deal, and he was aware of our interest in Danny Collins too.

Cheers mate.

 

Don't know enough on Trippier to comment, but J-Rod is quality. EIGHT MILLION though!

Jay Rodriguez (£6m), Matt Jarvis (£5m), Curtis Davies (£3.5m), Matt Phillips (£3m) and Mark Davies (£1.75m) are all on Nigel Adkins' transfer wish list.

 

Radhi Jaidi (retired), David Connolly (released), Lee Holmes (Swindon - free), Jonathan Forte (Stevenage - free), Aaron Martin (Swindon - loan), Lee Barnard (Sheff Wed - 500K) and Dan Seaborne (Bournemouth - loan) are all set to leave St. Mary's this summer.

 

Source very well placed at Southampton. Expect movement to start next week after players return from their celebratory holiday in Marbella.

1) never seen anything of him besides set pieces. that's not enough for a place in the team. might as well pick MLT!

2) could be great, could be awful. i don't believe many of us have seen enough of him, and I'd rather have Sharp playing to be honest. Given we have Lambert, Sharp and Lee, I can't see us paying lots for a L1 striker. Huge ask to step up 2 leagues in one go.

3) Yes.

 

1) Delivery is a lot more important in the Premier League thou, u may only get a few opportunities to score so a good delivery could be crucial! I think he offers more than a good set piece thou.

 

2) He maybe an unknown quantity to us but that also means he will be an unknown quantity for the opposition as well! Pilkington has shown that it is possible for a player to jump 2 leagues at once and still put in good performances. I think he could be worth the chance as long as the fee isn't too big. I do agree that atm Lambert & Sharp are our starting partnership up front thou.

We have no chance of getting Hoilett. Genuine big teams are after him.

 

Junior Hoilett is out of contract at Blackburn at the end of the season so he will be available on a free. He will definitely be off to 1 of the more established teams in the Premiership unfortunately!

Bayern Munich front runners apparently. We can forget Hoilett.

No way Don will bid 8 million for Jay rod and to be honest he won't need to. i think 4 million plus add ons will be more than ample.

Thought NC was treating them or is that a different trip?

 

I believe the plan was to go for the fight last Saturday but the end of season do put pay to that so they are on a Spanish jolly.

 

As usual I'm most likely wrong.
