adysaint Posted 23 May, 2014 Share Posted 23 May, 2014 As a Swiss Fan - the ones that have had a mention: Josip Drmic - scored a ****load of goals for Nurenberg and has got a big move to Leverkusen. Not really in our price range. Watch out for him in World Cup. Ricardo Rodriguez - Is a very consistent if unspectacular left back. Think his contacts up at Wolfsburg. Heard his name linked with a few PL teams. Would be a decent signing... Watched all the Basel games in the Europa League on the streams. I like their CB Fabian Schar 22, still a bit raw, but he's strong, brave and scored a few goals as well. Would be well worth a look if Lovren went.

Monk Posted 23 May, 2014 Share Posted 23 May, 2014 I've said it before and I'll say it again: Lasogga needs to be priority number one. Lasogga Tello/Affellay Caulker GK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogo_saint Posted 24 May, 2014 Share Posted 24 May, 2014 Would take Sinclair for the reported £3m, be interested to see if rodwell was available and put in a bid for Redmond. What are the chances of winston Reid from west ham? Is he better than fonte? Certainly an upgrade on jos. Be happy with either of swansea's LB's as back up to shaw. That leaves the vital striker to replace osvaldo... No idea. Also, I wonder if Ralph will try to maximise commercial opportunities and sign the best players from any far off untapped markets? Who's the best Chinese player at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevy777_x Posted 24 May, 2014 Share Posted 24 May, 2014 Cabella available at 7m. If you compare that to prices quoted at the moment (David luiz, Shaw lallana) that s a snip. If we lose Morgan works Like us to go with Stambouli of Montpellier very good up and coming player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 24 May, 2014 Share Posted 24 May, 2014 This is certainly the thread for championship manager fans. Wish I still had the time to play. My brummie friend tells me they have a couple of decent youngsters coming through Birminghams ranks that are being linked with prem sides. The last time he suggested players we might sign it was Redmond and Butland and that was long before we ever got a glimpse of them. Reece Brown and Demarai Gray are supposedly the next big thing. Not seen them myself, but maybe someone on here has seen them playing for England Under 17s? Possibly more youngsters is not what we need, but there won't be an endless conveyor belt from our academy. Like football in general it will goes through cycles and it might be a while before genuine top class players come through. We've certainly taken our share in recent times.

In case MP quits. He's young and Argentine so you'd assume he's on MP radar. He's one of those languid CBs, I've seen him have some clumsy moments (but so has Lovren). He doesnt always start for Basel. Murat Yakin Has rebuilt the team a couple of times having seen all his good players sold to Bundesliga. But Basel are not the prettiest team to watch. Have to wonder how they took 6 points off Chelsea in CL and still didn't qualify. And the Europa 2nd Leg v Valencia where they blew a 3-0 1st Leg lead through ill-discipline and naivety. Yakin just stood on the touchline as the carnage unfolded before him. And I had thought of him as a Saints manager until that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewell Posted 25 May, 2014 Share Posted 25 May, 2014 If schniderlin goes George Thorne, looks a class act. Yep totally agree he was the stand out player at Wembley yesterday. I think I would try and sign him anyway as I think he offers good competition even though I know that we have strength and depth in this area. He is definitely one to keep an eye on.

Smirking_Saint Posted 25 May, 2014 Share Posted 25 May, 2014 I think we were linked the season we came up, think he'd be a very good signing. Very highly rated at Ajax and played for belgium at every level. He has (unsurprisingly due to Athleticos brilliant back 5) stalled a little, I think its worth testing their resolve and seeing if he fancies some playing time at a progressive club. Realistically he is probably right at the end of our reach but he seems the sort of player we aim for (similar to Lovren) in the respect that he has real talent but for whatever reason things arent going for them.

ratio_decidendi Posted 25 May, 2014 Share Posted 25 May, 2014 His £80k p/w wage is a significant stumbling block. Agreed. Assuming that the club is looking to consolidate this season, Milner could never be seen as an asset. It would be more beneficial for the club to nurture and promote the talents of a youth player like Lloyd Isgrove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
