Trying to think of an 18 i think could keep us up in the championship and then build from there, replacing player by player Amavi, Gana, Veretout, Westwood, Ayew. If necessary, Clark and Grealish. Wouldn't shed a tear for any of the others leaving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny-recession Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 What about Danny Ward of Liverpool as GK. Was on loan with Aberdeen last year. Highly thought of and has stated he wants to leave to progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Barton had issues mainly drink related but if you've listened to him in the last few years he's matured massively as a person and player. Football is littered with men who act like kids. As for the stamping he never got done for it and there's hundreds of players who've done worse. Anyway he's gone to Rangers so no point in going on. I will take any player who can improve our team. Even if I hate them for whatever reason I'd give them the chance to show what they've got. We need characters and leaders in our squad ASAP. lol.

Dr_Pangloss Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Anyone seen much of Will Grigg? Banged in a lot of goals at League 1 level and is a local lad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly thought of and has stated he wants to leave to progress. Don't know much about him but why not? We need to consider snapping up the best young talent around the leagues, either on loan or permanently. Plenty out there and have done a list of some other suggestions: Gk: Christian Walton, Daniel Bentley, Danny Ward Def: Dominic Iorfa, Kortney Hause, Rico Henry, Jamaal Lascelles, Paddy McNair, Mason Holgate, Michael Hector, Liam Moore, Joe Gomez, Lewis Dunk. Mid: Anthony Knockaert, Tom Carroll, Nathan Redmond, Nathaniel Chalobah, Josh Vela, Teddy Bishop, Callum Camps, Moses Odubajo, Alex Mowatt, Bradley Dack, Will Hughes, Sheyi Ojo, Brandon Barker, Alex Iwobi, Rolando Aarons, Romaine Sawyers, Rubén Loftus-Cheek. Str: Cauley Woodrow, Zach Clough, Will Grigg, Patrick Bamford, Che Adams, Nakhi Wells, Joel Campbell, Moussa Dembele, Tom Bradshaw, Kemar Roofe. Some of the above would only be possible on loan and some would be 'projects' but surely worth considering? In addition, put some of the above against some experience (ie Artur Boruc, Marc Wilson, Damian Delaney, Barry, Osman, Morrison, Walters), then could have the makings of a decent side again. This is without considering some of our own like Adama, Grealish etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic slow starter in football, but a great finisher and working his way up nicely. I don't think he's made an immediate impact at any of his clubs (could be wrong here?) but, after settling in, he does seem to bang goals in. Downside - Wigan's top scorer in their title winning season, so guessing he wouldn't be cheap at all. Just checked and he's only 24 too. Hmmmm...

Amusing when you think how few fans they had in the prem but probably prefer it at lower level where they can win more games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be more, or less difficult to get it done in the championship. I also find it funny how Guzan is now US number 1. Either they are really crap, or we proper destroy players here.

JPAngel Posted May 25, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 25, 2016 A lot has been said about paying around £10mil for players but has anyone ever looked at the record fees for teams buying players in the Championship? Andre Gray - £9.3mil Jordan Rhodes - £8.9mil Ross McCormack £8.9mil Jordan Rhodes £7.6mil Bradley Johnson - £6mil Those are the all time top 5 transfers (granted, two of them are the same player!). We wouldn't be looking at signing 5 Andre Gray type signings. Maybe two at most? After that we could make at least a further five signings of a really high standard. If the new boss gets £50mil we'll be absolutely cushty this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that, I really reckon keeping our best players, would be the best business we could do, we would be looking very healthy indeed. If we could keep them, and indeed do 5 of those top type transfers you speak of, then why not? Upon hopeful promotion to the premiership, some of those better players become squad players, and so on.

Joe Gomez is highly touted at Liverpool and he's just coming off an ACL injury. They will keep him. Redmond won't want to play in the championship, a lower Prem team will surely sign him. Sheyi Ojo, same as Joe Gomez apart from injuries, we could maybe get him on loan, but that's it. Dembele is being linked to a lot of top Prem teams, so safe to say he is off the charts. I would definitely try to sign Loftus-Cheek, isn't getting much game time at Chelsea and with another new manager coming in, Conte might want to sign his own midfielders. Still a stretch though.
