sentry Posted 16 May, 2012 Share Posted 16 May, 2012 I think we need a decent solid attacking midfielder and not one has been mentioned. I would be very happy with Jarvis or Phillips, Davies, Pienaar, etc, most of the names mentioned but no one yet has mentioned a decent attacking central midfielder.

Lighthouse Posted 16 May, 2012 Share Posted 16 May, 2012 Harry Kane looks decent whenever I've seen him and caused us a fair few problems at the New Den when we went there in the League. Didn't go to the other 3 Millwall games so haven't seen that much of him. At 19 would be a great prospect, but wont be a Premier League starter just yet. Always rated Buzsaky as well. Jarvis, Buzsaky, JRod, Kane, Davies, Trippier and a goalie would be a superb tranny window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St BATman Posted 17 May, 2012 Share Posted 17 May, 2012 Haven't read through all 25 pages; would love a summary! For what it's worth I think the following CADAJFU: Joe Lewis (still a bit error prone but great potential and he doesn't currently get much help from his defence) James Tomkins or Curtis Davies - need another CB, either good on theball (JT) or pacey (CD) Matt Phillips or Matt Jarvis - pace and trickery on the wing is definitely required Stewart Holden (if we can make sure he doesn't break any more legs) - good goal scoring CM with bags of energy 2 shouts that may be a bit unrealistic: Huddlestone (supreme passer and doesn't get much of a look in at spuds) and Agbonlahor (I think would thrive the way we play and he needs to move to stop stagnating at villa) Also Junior Hoilett and Nathaniel Clyne would be top signings. I imagine it will be none of these but I'm sure Adkins and Cortese will unearth a couple of gems from the leftfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedelldays Posted 17 May, 2012 Share Posted 17 May, 2012 Let's not get carried away. He can grab a few goals, but unplayable? IMO he's not a strike partner for anyone. He's get some goals when the majority of chances are his, he plays alone up front and doesn't work very hard. I'd trust Moyes more who wanted rid of him. If we're going for older selfish individuals up front who want big wages, Defoe is a million times better than Yakubu. Wouldn't want either, just saying. come on...he is a very good scorer and has scored plenty of goals no matter what team he plays in...even in a absolutely terrible team in rovers..he still scored goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yakubu is an excellent player and equally important, one within our reach. No lack of skill though his goals have come over few games.I doubt Ricky or Billy will hack it in the Premier unless they have someone like Yakubu alongside of them.

Thedelldays Posted 17 May, 2012 Share Posted 17 May, 2012 I've offered my opinion, 'come on' isn't going to change my mind. Rovers weren't a bad attacking team over the season so hardly terrible. Did ok at everton, then quite badly, did ok at Leicester a league below, did well at middlesbrough. Is there anything wrong with not thinking a player would suit a certain system? Or just not liking a player? Defoe is better than most our strikers, would score goals, but I don't like him. What is that bad? At some point you need to decide what you're actually supporting, otherwise it might as be the PFC mercenary for hire approach. As for the Yak, goalscoring blinds some people, it's all about individuals not teams. Well I disagree. You're welcome to your opinion, but for me doing well in any league is having what's best for the team, not securing any individual with a half decent record and hoping it works out. he did well at pompey too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
