sne Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Forren is aparantly at Everton for a medical today, so he's out of the picture. Shame. Yeah i think we missed out on a potentially great player there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 God knows what mess Rafa will turn Chelsea into and who he will alienate - all I know is most players who've gone there don't do well if they fail and move on. Sidwell, SWP etc I actually think Rafa is exactly the right type of manager to sort out Chelsea's primadonna dressing room. The players won't like it but for too long there has been too much player power at Chelsea and although their fans didn't want him i do think he'll do ok there.

tomaspg Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 if John Guidetti's injury malarchy is over I wouldn't mind if we inquired about him, city could do with losing a forward, but im guessing midfield and another cb will take priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Our squad has some good talents but desperately need some experienced players in there. Bent should be playing in Weimann's spot because Weimann just isn't ready yet. We need some experience in the midfield. A player that can help stabilize the midfield because Westwood and Bannan are too inconsistent but work very well together at times. We also need defenders badly.

KSV Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Priorities: We need a defensive midfielder who will sit in Bannans position who can pass the ball. We need a new striker/winger who can play in Wiemanns position on the right side of the front three. Preferably one that can cross a ball. We need a new centre back to partner Vlaar. We need a creative midfielder who can link the attack and put some through balls. Ireland is good but we need someone even more creative. I would not sell Bannan Wiemann Ireland but use them as squad players. We need starters who are better than these players though. Bent sold to finance these signings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted November 28, 2012 Moderator Share Posted November 28, 2012 I wouldn't mind flogging Bent to Liverpool and trying to take Lucas off their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 A good cb A beast of a cm 2 skillful quick wingers Easy and we'll be flying. I'd probably go for a lb before cb, but otherwise I agree. Wouldn't be against a cb, though. And if so, ship Dunne out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Martin Harnik would almost be a perfect fit for Weimann's role in the current system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Has Downing gone to Boro yet on loan? If not and the rumours are correct about Bent to Liverpool, even on loan, i wonder will that suggested deal involve Downing coming back to us on loan?

PieFacE Posted November 28, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted November 28, 2012 A good cb A beast of a cm 2 skillful quick wingers Easy and we'll be flying. Completely agree. If we can offload Warnock, Hutton, Bent we could use their wages to bring in some quality players IMO. Would love to see two more "Ashley Young" type players. Maybe Tom Ince would be worth a punt.

Shillzz Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I'm not entirely sure that we need to sign anyone. Our first team are all at a fairly comparable standard, we have no stand out weak areas. People will say Bannan and Weimann need replacing for the next few days because they had an off night yesterday, but all the players in the current first team are capable of equally good and equally sub standard performances. I think the easiest way forward is to look at the team you'd be happy to carry on with, and for me thats: Guzan Lowton Vlaar Clark/Baker (LB) Westwood (CM) (FW) Benteke Gabby So yes, if we have money to spend, then it would be good to get a new CM in and perhaps a forward player, but at the same time you have to consider the fact that we already have Delph, KEA, Herd and Bannan competing for CM and NZogbia, Weimann, Holman and Albrighton competing for the forward position. For this reason, I won't really be expecting any signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Great player. on FM anyway. Well he's kicked on since stepping up to the 1.Liga in reality as well. Think he's banged in something like 25 goals over the last two seasons from the right-side of Stuttgart's front three. Plenty creative, too.

Are Stuttgart well placed in the league and therefore not see us as a step up? Would he have attracted interest in bigger clubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this reason, I won't really be expecting any signings. Delph, KEA, Herd and N'Zogbia are not playing on a regular basis so we might assume that Lambert has deemed them not good enough? If we don't improve the squad in the January window and allow Bent to leave then my feeling is that we will be relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he have attracted interest in bigger clubs? They're sat in 12th, league form is patchy at best but they're all but through to the next round of the Europa League (barring a collapse at Molde and Copenhagen sorting their shit out). Signed a contract extension in January, as well. Couldn't really say in terms of 'getability' to be honest. I'd like to think we've got just enough pull, I suppose it depends what money's available. I don't think he's been linked to any other clubs, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Getting rid of Nzogbia for a few million would be helpful too. I just wonder if Harry thinks he is a triffic player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
