tricella Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I voted 4... It is not going as I wished for and thought we were going to work this summer. Nigel Reo Coker Steve Mandanda (as Le Havre almost throwing at us) ? (Luke Young) ? If this is true then I would be hugely disappointed...hugely. Before the transfer window opened I believed we would buy 7-8 players of true quality. Now when it is going so slow and we´re really being outrunned by the most I fear we will lose out on our main targets and we have to settle, as usual, for second best. Nothing wrong with NRC or Luke Young...but they doesnt represent the class I was led to believe we would go for...and neither what I believe myself would give us a ticket to Europe. It is just not good enough... I can say that I wish I´ll be proven wrong...and by far too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinity-Tom Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 4 which will be great if they are of the right quality and in the right positions. EDIT This does not include Mandanda as I had forgotten about his potential signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeMoore Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Do people think we need a huge number of players in? i for one think we would be fine if no one else left and we just brought in a rb, rm and a st, for each position we'd have gk - sorensen/taylor rb - new player/delaney/mellberg cb - mellberg/laursen/cahill/ridgewell lb - bouma/barry rm - new player/young/maloney cm - nrc/barry/petrov/gardner/osbourne lm - young/barry/berger/maloney st - new player/carew/gabby/moore We'd have a decent starting 11 and decent back up. We'd also have options as we have players who can play in a number of positions. I don't think the squad is as bad or as weak as some make out.

Trinity-Tom Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I think we need a central defender too LM. Maybe not for the first team but I would like someone like Curtis Davies plus Young, SWP and Defoe. We wouldn't need anyone else if we got those.

I agree someone like davies would be a good signing but i don't think starting the season with the 4 centre backs we have would cause us major problems. A rb, rm and a striker and we are good to go any other players would be a bonus and improve us even more but i just don't think we are as desperate for loads of players as some make out.

Trinity-Tom Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I don't think Laursen will be able to play regularly and the jury is still out on whether he is over his injury problems. Therefore, I think a centre back is a potential weakness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, I think a centre back is a potential weakness. If laursen can't play regular then i agree it could well be a weakness. I'd hope that between the player and the specialists they would have a good idea on what laursen will be able to do next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinity-Tom Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I agree, the other three positions are more of a priority but we should still look to strengthen here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeafyVilla Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Ive gone for one (NRC) as what has happened or not happened has made me think that maybe we arent as big as what we thought we were gonna be and when you see players like Nugent, a good goalscorer with an England cap move to Pompey when we needed a goalscorer and he became available I was sure that we would sign him but to see him go to Pompey was embarassing, I cannot believe how inept we have been in the transfer market.......

NibblyPig Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Well, depending on your measuring technique, we had up to 6 additions in the final analysis: NRC, Harewood, Carson, Knight, Davies, Salifou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFart Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I dont know. There might be a few, but NRC might be as good as it gets in terms of quality.Special prize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
