skarroki Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Some suggestions I have based on players I think are good pros and we stand a chance of signing James Morrison - contract ending at WBA Tom Huddlestone - contract ending at Hull Rob Green - Contract ending at QPR David Wheater - Contract ending at Bolton Peter Whittingham - knows Villa, played for many years in the Championship with Prem experience Think these signings would be good squad players for newly promoted teams. But in the Championship they are vastly experienced battlers and think our chances of getting into the top 6 would improve dramatically with these additions. I'd want them whether we get a multi billionaire owner or not 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too high wages and potentially risky as you don't know how motivated they are at this stage of their careers. Could be good, could be QPR...

James Morrison - despite being out since January and playing under Pulis, he has scored 3 goals and got 3 assists this season. Not on mega bucks Tom Huddlestone - Seems a model pro to me. Active on Twitter in a positive way Rob Green - not played by QPR for financial reasons, publicly stated he wants to be playing David Wheater - VOLUNTEERED a 10k per week wage cut to help Bolton and meant he could keep playing till the end of the season. Did my research before naming these guys. Don't think they're money grabbing mercenaries. Obviously I could be wrong but I think they're not cut from the same cloth as our current squad 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise that was the reason he left West Ham, thought it was because of his loss of form and them bringing in Jussi Jas-cantspellhisname http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3488326/Rob-Green-opens-QPR-exile-m-desperate-play-hurting-me.html This is the article I read which made me warm to him. He was happy to leave and was aware that he was a high earner the club might want to move on but they wanted him to stay. Don't think he'd be a bad egg in the dressing room at least. Could obviously be wrong though if the mercenary claims are true. Also if these comments at the end of a fan blog at the time are anything to go by, the mercenary talk could have just been sour grapes http://foreverwestham.com/2012/05/blog-topics/should-we-cave-to-his-wage-demands Edited April 23, 2016 by skarroki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Big no to Green for me, no more past it 30 somethings looking for one last pay day. Sam Johnstone from Man Utd or Daniel Bentley from Southend both highly rated, young up & coming keepers who both happen to be out of contract in the summer. Always liked Morrison. In regards to Huddlestone I don't wanna see any more players with mobility issues near the team. Also don't see the point in going after Wheater as we have Baker to fill the role of brave but dumb lump CB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason Sam Johnstone is at Man Utd is because they refused to sell or loan him to Preston, didn't realise he was out of contract? Really like Daniel Bentley though, that's probably a much better option to be fair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyBM Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) theres been alot of mention of goal keepers on this thread, and i understand some think that bunn could do the job in the championship, but i dont think he could, so with that, i still stand by my opinion that i feel the best candidate for the no1 shirt would be boaz myhill, he would also be quite cheap as well, with steer as second choice. as for defensive midfielders, how many of you would laugh if i said the name rohan ince?

AndyBM Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) with the likelihood that we expect none, or only a few signings this summer with a transfer budget consisting of only what players are sold, what are all your opinions of income from players that are well, clearly going to be leaving or hoping to see leave, if we can scrape £10m together from the below, it might help. Guzan - £1m Cissokho - £1m Lescott - £0 Okore - £3m Richards - £0 Bacuna - £2m Richardson - £0 Veretout - £3m Gana - £3m NZogbia - £0 Gabby - £0 Bunn - £0 Sanchez - £500k Westwood - £1m Crespo - £500k (read a rumour he wants to go back to Spain) Edited April 23, 2016 by AndyBM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guzan Cissokho Lescott Okore Richards Bacuna Richardson Veretout Gana NZogbia (free) Gabby Bunn Sanchez Westwood Crespo (read a rumour he wants to go back to Spain) I'd keep Veretout & Gana from that list. Obviously if good offers came in I'd sell (but that goes for all our players) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
