Jimmy_D Posted 7 April, 2013 Share Posted 7 April, 2013 I'd like to see Adkins pick Ben Reeves up on loan for next season from us for Reading. (Maybe a few other youth players as well?) It'd do him good to play a season in the Championship, Adkins knows him, and it'd be good for us for him to be playing in a team using Adkins style of play. It'd let us see if he's good enough yet as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukaku, Cortouis, De Bruyne, Piazón or maybe even a punt on McEachran could be really interesting additions to the team one way or another (though not enough LB's worth picking up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 7 April, 2013 Share Posted 7 April, 2013 Safe? There's a couple of young Derby lads that are supposed to be cracking youngsters - Hendrick and Hughes. Nick 'em....

pez86 Posted 7 April, 2013 Share Posted 7 April, 2013 I'd be happy with - Atop class CB alongside Maya - Astori, the lad from Bordeaux etc - Decent back ups at RB and LB - Trippier? - A CM to back up / compete with Cork/Morgan - i.e. Biglia - A really good winger - Salah? - A clever CF to back up Ricky Hoping Tino can use his Spain/Argie connections and the Don can raid Serie A Positions and quality wise I would go exactly with this, although I doubt we'll manage to get all six positions filled. I would also add another keeper to the list if we fail to tie down Boruc. Someone queried why back-ups, I think we want players who can compete and push for places, if they're better than great but realistically are we really going to spend big money on getting better players than Clyne/Shaw/Schneiderlin? Even if we did surely these are young players who will be top (potentially world class) players in a few years so best keep them in the team and develop them. My suggestions for signings (hopefully realistic) would be... Top CB- Shawcross from Stoke if they go down. Otherwise people are raving about Astori but I haven't seen him play. Really wanted Yanga-Mbiwa who went to NEwcastle in the winter, shame to miss him. Back up RB- I like Trippier-was superb for Burnley last season, haven't followed him this season but unless he has dropped off I'd go for him. Lowton from Villa if they go down (and not just because he scored a couple of screamers). Back up LB-Lucas Digne from Lille- may well struggle to get him as he has been linked with some top clubs and wouldn't be satisfied with a back up spot but could be a good option to rotate with Shaw. Young, great prospect, already played a good number of games at a high level. Would take the pressure off LS. Competitive CM- Chalobah on loan from Chelsea. Done a great job for Watford this season- will be a top player. Winger- Saw Salah against Spurs, he did look good and exciting and a good shout but very raw. I'll go along with Scott Sinclair as he would be ready to slot in immediately- may be looking for guaranteed first team football though. Another could be Younes Belhanda. CF- For me this should be someone who is sniffing around JR and RLs spots, but probably one who will develop in coming years and improve. Perhaps taking a gamble on a Championship player (Austin, Rhodes) although I think that for the cost it will be difficult to find someone worthwhile. Perhaps someone from the continent. I personally think someone who is able to both lead the line or take a deeper more creative role would be ideal. Hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 7 April, 2013 Share Posted 7 April, 2013 Don't know much about Hendrick, but Hughes looks a fantastic prospect. I second that. Positively drooling imagining him, Lallana, Ramirez, Puncheon, Rodriguez all linking up BTW... like all our midfield, he's already massively better than the sh1te Woy picks for the national team.

Chez Posted 8 April, 2013 Share Posted 8 April, 2013 I know we might be shopping at a different quality of store these days, but I'd like to see us keep stealing the best young talent from the championship. We more than anyone else should be fully aware of how players like Morgan, Clyne, Lallana, Lambert, Bale and now Rodriguez are able to make the step up and then shine. Getting them ahead of Arsenal and Manure won't be easy mind, and if they are £15m like Zaha that is certainly a bog gamble for a side like us. We're obviously too late with Zaha (I wouldn't be surprised if we enquired last summer) but Ince is next genuine talent that someone is going to have to spend big (and therefore gamble) on. I think we should do it. There are other decent players in the Championship. Chelsea's Nathaniel Chalobah (on loan at Watford) looks a real talent. A right back playing centre mid for Watford he's that good. Jeff Schlupp is another bright prospect. I think he caused us a few problems at Brentford a couple of seasons back. Has anyone seen Yannick Bolasie live? In the highlights shows he looks sensational, but they can sometimes flatter flair players. Buckley always impressed me at Brighton, but not seen enough to know if his touch is good enough. Certainly offers pace and power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 8 April, 2013 Share Posted 8 April, 2013 Kone! My first choice. Without him in their side Wigan are toothless. He has pace and power. Exactly what I'd hoped Mayuka might offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure we have got plenty of players being watched at the moment, but would be surprised if we're looking at the NPC for transfers with Poche in charge. Wouldnt surprise me if all our signings this summer are young internationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 8 April, 2013 Share Posted 8 April, 2013 If we're going to look at the Championship and lower leagues there are plenty of young British players out there HCDAJFU. Chris Solly - Adventurous right-back currently playing for Charlton. Solid at the back and great crosser of the ball. Jon Williams - Deep playmaker playing at Palace. Great on the ball, although a little lightweight. Came on as a sub for Wales vs Scotland was the best player on the park by a mile. Will Hughes - Tricky attacking midfielder for Derby. Again a little lightweight, but technically he's excellent and has chipped in with a few goals and assists this season aged 17. Nathan Redmond - Pacy winger playing for Brum. Can play either side and has a good footballing brain on him. Could be relatively cheap too, as Brum are skint. Whether he's ready to make the step-up to the Prem is another thing. Jamaal Lascelles - Giant centre back at Forest. Definitely leadership material and could be a good player in the future. Still a bit raw though.

If we expect Shaw, Clyne and Lallana to honour their contracts to us then we need to honour our contracts to the likes of Fox, De Ridder, lee and others. Some of those in the list are out of contract this summer. Others may choose to move providing the fee is right. But as we saw with Dickson, he may not want to take the drop in wages so he will see out his contract. Nothing wrong with that (although personally I would rather be playing football). For others (I guerss Puncheon is the role model) they can get their heads to gether, work hard, and produce the football we knew they were capable of when we first signed them. Mayuka and Lee please note! Have said before about Astori and Sinclair being adequate for the summer IMO. After this weekends games, I might add Ilicic (Palermo) to that!!
