Villan4Life Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) If we don’t go up need utilise the free agent and low fees for decent pickups. I wanted on here Neil Etheridge, David Hoilett both Cardiff and they did brilliant last summer bringing in Etheridge and number of frees who have made them good team. Also Daniel Bentley at Brentford he would have been a cracking bosman I know myself and few others on here suggested him. If we mess this up we will get cherry picked apart this summer cos of FFP. There are some good free agents in summer in lower leagues if ever came to it. Some with huge potential and good players I have watched a number of them attending games for St Mirren but will be out of our Wage Budget and many wouldn’t be interested playing in Scotland Edited March 17, 2018 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 We need a whole new midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don;t Jedinak and Whelan, who are both past it and both on huge wages, both still have a year left on their deals? If so then we won't be getting a new midfield. Most likely the same midfield with Grealish and Landsbury gone and maybe two new midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 http://www.planetfootball.com/quick-reads/221-championship-players-to-leave-end-season/ Quote There are a total of 140 players who are soon to be out of contract across the 24 clubs in the English second tier, including three ex-England internationals in Gabby Agbonlahor, John Terry and Michael Dawson. Moses Odubajo, Abel Hernandez, Ryan Fredericks, Andreas Bjelland & Teddy Bishop stand out for me as solid squad signings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Ryan Fredericks would be a fantastic signing, but I would think he'll get a bottom-half PL gig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I think Nick Powell would be a good signing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 We could finally sign 42 year old Wes Hoolahan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I felt we should have looked at him back then but he has since been voted London goalkeeper of the year so I guess Brentford would want big money for him now.

I think he'd be a really good option, he has a lot of ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have had Powell on a bosman last summer now Wigan will want over £10mil for. We need to be a lot more clever when it comes to signings as some cracking Bosmans every summer Edited March 19, 2018 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Pascal gross has been brilliant this season and I rate this kid highly and he will go onto bigger things than Brighton love us to find a gem like him in bundesliga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted March 19, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) You've had scouts watching Joe Bryan a few times this year, so I'd like to be the first to say- hands off! Apparently we are valuing him at £15m which is an awful lot for a LB, albeit one who is more than capable as a LM as well. I can't see him leaving unless to a Prem side, so would likely depend on you going up. Everton have been linked with him too, but they've been getting linked to him for the last 4 years. He was also scouted by Southampton a few years ago, but nothing came of it. Edited March 19, 2018 by JamesBCFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Paper talk is that Bruce has sent Tony Coton to watch 36 year old ex Middlesbrough and Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones who now plays in Dutch Eredivisie. He was awful when playing over here hopefully it’s only rumours. Edited March 22, 2018 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder whether Hammill and Dawson might also be worth a look depending on which division we find ourselves in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
