Convict Colony Posted 13 April, 2014 Share Posted 13 April, 2014 would be interested in Connor Wickham given he is young and was decent before sunderland and given a decent run in a team as proven I think until last month with Wednesday can score goals.

He's trash. We've got Gallagher in that young/tall striker mode, we certainly don't need to block his progress with rubbish like Wickham. We need to be careful with adding players for the sake of adding them in the summer, it's only worth doing if they're better and different to what we have. i.e sign a CB who is better than Fonte, a GK who is better than Boruc, a ST who is better than Lambert etc.....and the starters from this year evolve into the backup. That's the way it should be done, I don't want to see us buying loads of ''backup'' players, that's for sure, as that's a sure fire way to create a squad of trash.

I agree with what you're saying, we did it in the summer to an extent, but we could improve the overall quality of the squad with some lesser names too. I'd take players like Shaun Maloney, Nathan Redmond, Callum McManaman or Nathan Dyer. Anyone of these on the bench on Saturday would have been useful I think.

Matthew Le God Posted 14 April, 2014 Share Posted 14 April, 2014 (edited) Gary Roberts of Chesterfield would be worth a look. A 30 year old League 2 player? Do you not think we should be aiming a lot higher? We have academy products out on loan playing at a higher level than Roberts. At least Lambert was 27 when we got him and scored 30+ goals for Bristol Rovers at a level above where Roberts is currently playing.

Roberts is better than Isgrove ever will be. Was excellent for Huddersfield a few years back and would be available cheaply which will be a consideration for the board. Who are your suggestions?

I remember him being ****e back then as well, Hooiveld is poor as why would an SPL club release him the same (my point) as Fox? Fox and Hooiveld are out of their depth in the Premier League but both were signed when Saints were in the Championship and both were first choice players in a promotion season. Both were very useful that season. As for Wanyama we should have bought a £10 Million brick or large rock, they could probably pass better as well. Correct, his passing isn't great. But if he keeps things simple like for example he did against Villa on Saturday and makes short passes to the more technically gifted players then Wanyama is a very useful asset in front of the centre backs. I've given you another bite, have fun with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
