Straggler Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 We're probably 3/4 players away from being a competitive team, able to challenge for Europe. I think we probably need a whole player. Buying bits of players is probably not even allowed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Aiden McGeady anyone? The papers seem to think we are still in for him despite his ridiculous wages and shitness. NO THANKS. a pile of shit that isnt good enough for the Championship, id really question Lambert if we signed shit like him Ridiculous statement. He would get a start in our team at the moment and plenty of other Premier League teams too. However he is probably out of reach financially and if we did have that sort of budget we could probably get better for the money. no way. I would actually prefer Albrighton or Brett Holman on the wing than McGeady. absolute dreadful player with zero talent at all. Even Stephen Hunt was a better winger for Ireland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Are you just judging him on his performances for Ireland though Zatman? As quite a few players don't replecate club form for their national team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As quite a few players don't replecate club form for their national team... ive seen him enough for Celtic and he was no better than Shaun Maloney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As quite a few players don't replecate club form for their national team... ive seen him enough for Celtic and he was no better than Shaun Maloney Fair enough. I've never really seen a lot of him playing at club level to be honest. Though I would have Maloney in our team at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) We can't afford McGeady's wages in any case. He'll likely wind up at some mid/lower table club with more money than sense. Stoke? Edited December 4, 2013 by CarewsEyebrowDesigner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Martinez was close to signing him for Wigan so I'm not sure wages would be that big an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomaspg Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 i think we need two playmakers really.. we dont really have anyone thats up for the task at the moment, we stick one in there and hes going to get constantly marked. Bit like when we play benteke without weimann or gabby, but when they go on they can stretch out the defence and draw attention of benteke. that said id be happy with one good player coming in though! we got a resonably solid team to look for a really good addition now rather than 2-3 prospects.

Villan4Life Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Popov close to signing for Zenit it reckons here http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=156084 So that kind of rules him out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Clearly a better move for him to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 If Ron's out for a while, anyone think Younes Kaboul on loan from Spurs for the rest of the season would be a decent pick up in January? A solid enough defender and he's 4th choice there behind Dawson, Vertengohen and Criches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avflife Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Would be happy if we sold Benteke for 30m+ and signed a winger, obviously a replacement and a stronger more experienced version of Sylla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) If there is an experienced defender available on loan, I'd go for it. Okore is out for the forseeable future, and Vlaar does pick up injuries. Edited December 5, 2013 by CarewsEyebrowDesigner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 cant really think off top of my head anybody available around UK from a decent team, and i wouldnt want Titus Bramble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Micah Richards? Not sure if he is available, but he wants and needs to be playing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
