villan501 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I just can't see why if Lambert only had £8m to spend he blew it so early in the window and almost half of it on a League 1 fullback. All logic points to getting a couple more players in imo I agrre with you massivley to a point it dosnt make any sense spending it on lowton KEA gr8 signing No high quality signings and im afraid Bent should be exempt from training we cant have him injured and also Vlaar what a player he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwhitters Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Im hoping for some movement soon. But as always at this time, frustrating to see other clubs links and signings. E.g Adebayor to spurs for reported £5mill. (yes I know wages) Ki seung yeung to Swansea £5mill and Pablo Hernandez to Swansea for £5mill. These two players I believe would both improve us, Hernandez especially as could do with another genuine wide man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks1876 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Hate to even think of it but maybe were looking at Heskey's side kick, he looked set for Stoke but nothing of late (as far as i know). Please god Lambert have a brain and by the way he's horses are as prone to injury as he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 So if we can offload Warnock to Blackburn for Olsson, and Hutton to Stoke for Jones (probably with some minimal cash involved in both)... think we'll have made enough of a dent in the wage budget to be able to get in that creative winger/attacking midfielder we need?

Mattyp_avfc Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'd like us to bring in (Deals in press atm and one likely signing) Olsson 2.5m and Warnock Kenwyne Jones 2m and Hutton Steven N'zonzi 4m Matty Philips 4m? and Set up like this -----------------Given Lowton---------------------Olsson ----------Clark------Vlaar -------N'zonzi ------------------El Ahmadi --Philips-------------Ireland --------Bent---- Jones The space where the winger on the left would be reserved for Olsson to bomb past Ireland and have N'zonzi to slot in at left back if we lost the ball to a counter attack, personally i'd sell Charles N'zogbia but maybe wait til January to see if he can buck up also we may get more for him in Jan as it's silly season!! Would take either Carroll or Kenwyne Jones though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Haven't Lambert & Faulkner pretty much said we're done for this window now ? Or is that a smokescreen ? IMHO we need 4 more players but I just cannot see how that will happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO we need 4 more players but I just cannot see how that will happen Lambert hasn't said anything. Faulkner has supposedly tweeted some PR crap about sensible spending, which is one of the catalysts for some negativity on here. I see QPR have agreed a 5.5m fee for Turner of Spurs. That's our net spend this window so far. Depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcTheObsession Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Fletcher's not playing. I hope it's Matt Jarvis he's looking at, we badly need a decent winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted August 21, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2012 Intrigued to see who he is running the rule over, doubt it's Ward, I'd imagine Doyle or Jarvis if Fletcher isn't playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ads Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Jarvis, Olsen and Jones would be good. It wont put us back to where we were but it will make us solid upper mid-table, prpbably top half in cosy old 10th. That would do me for the first step forward.
