ooh it's a corner Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 I wouldn't buy a single new player. I would advise the current crop of players that the war chest would be used to pay their wages in the Championship, and tell them that they will not be sold in the event we get relegated. see what motivation does for a few (10+) of them.....

S-Clarke Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 It's time for our black box to have a similar effort to that of the summer of 2014. Obviously not as many in during January, but I'd like to see a minimum of 2 gaurenteed first team starters who improve the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamplemousse Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 Clearly we need a new centre back as a priority. I’d add in a goalkeeper, striker and winger. Finally, a new manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 I wonder just how expensive a squad MP could get relegated. Indeed! Best case scenario is we sign players to get us out of it & firing on all cylinders. Worst case: MP builds a squad that puts us on a course for relegation & financial melt-down.

Ewell Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 All I know is its absolutely impossible to have any confidence in Pelligrino or Read to bring in the right players. The recent record has been mediocre at best and completely dysfunctional at worst. I am sure we will get more hype from the clowns on the board that we have been watching player xyz for a number of years when in reality they are just taking a punt on cheap options who haven't made the grade anywhere else. A question, so when did we last sign someone who was playing in another teams first team week in week out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 First priority should be compensation for both Pellegrino and a new manager (we should not settle for choosing from the unemployed crop, find the right man for the job and ask his club what they want). Striker top priority after that - i'd be tempted to look at Depoitre from Huddersfield, Assombalonga from Middlesbrough or Antonin Barak from Udinese. After that I think the only additions we should make are if players go out - Redmond out, another AM in, Cedric/Bertrand out etc. At centreback I would quite honestly pick Hoedt and Stephens there for the rest of the season. Let them play and progress together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyell Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 Is that a joke?Well, obviously. More a none too subtle dig at how easily the club can burn through the "war chest" on total crap (replace the above examples with Redmond, McCarthy, Gardos and Long if you can't work it out) and have nothing to show for it. There's no way we're "reinvesting" £75m. It'll be in the 30s, which as shown doesn't get you much, especially given our extremely mixed record in the transfer market in recent years.

saintwbu Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 We need a player to replace Redmond, a player to replace Tadic and a player to replace Forster. It really shouldn’t be that hard to do. I personally think Gabbi is good enough to be our man up top, it’s the players behind him that waste his ability. However I would love a Lambert/Pelle type back because we’ve never been the same without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vectraman Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 Whoever we sign need to be PROVEN premier league players. No foreign unknowns who have never played here, no ones for the future. Proven, experienced PL players who know what it's about. Straight into the first 11, immediate enhancements to what we have. E.G. Sell Redmond/jwp/Gardos/Tadic/ Macarthy/Bednarek/Long and buy 3 maybe 4 first team starters. We have a bloated squad of averageness, time to cull numbers and improve quality. Dependant on us being able to shift the deadwood, and attract decent replacements. Big If I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
