StefanAVFC Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Really don't think the team needs that much of a tweak. We're1 or 2 players from a proper top half outfit and then 3/4 more for depth Guzan Lowton Vlaar/Baker Dragovic New LB Westwood Delph Sylla Weimann----------Gabby Benteke New GK/Siegrist Baker/Vlaar Clark Bennett Gardner New CM New Striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don'y you think we need a playmaker? Delph is definitely not the option for that. Sylla and Westwood are more defensive minded. Definitely use the system I and you suggest but replace delph with CAM and put him close up front I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dynamic between the 3 I put is great and don't think needs splitting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 A left back, a centre back and and an atticking mid are our most important priorities, in that order. Also a replacement for Bent, and an option for playing with width would be very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, he didn't really post on transfer targets IIRC... was mainly on Lambert's position with the board. Though, all ITK is good ITK I guess.

abdulaziz1 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Bent . Hutton . Ireland . Maybe nzogbia . From 8 to 10 millions .. Loan bannan gardner bennet and some others with recall if needed .. and get 4 to 5 quality players .. My phone doesnt have a lot of charge .. later I would write who I would like to get .. And most important that benteke and other bright lions stays ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted May 8, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'm undecided on N'Zogbia. I can see why we might get rid of him but he has been remarkably effective when he has been on the pitch this season. Second only to Westwood in assists despite having relatively few minutes under his belt. And all of his goals (2) and assists (6) bar one assist (v Arsenal) resulted in us getting more points from the games they came in. All in all he has been quite a telling contributor when called upon. I think he'd be a useful member of the squad provided he's not on a king's ransom like Ireland is.

Stevo985 Posted May 8, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 8, 2013 I wonder if we will have months of speculation, just to get two no name players again. If those "no names" end up being as good as Vlaar, Lowton, Westwood, Benteke and even Sylla, I won't be too disappointed. Oh nor would I, but I'd just like to see us some a few known players to make sure we dont get in a relegation scrap again. I think with a few players, we can finish top 10 and maybe try for europa. Wishful thinking I know. I don't think known players are necessary for a top 10 finish at all. Hell, it's not out of the question that we'll finish top 10 this year! With a few more "unknown" additions of the quality we've had this year, as well as the experience gained by our youngsters, I think top 10 is well within our reach next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a few more "unknown" additions of the quality we've had this year, as well as the experience gained by our youngsters, I think top 10 is well within our reach next season. 'Known' players have been a big part of our demise over the last few years. I think better known players in the premier league just aren't Lambert's style. He talks about players with hunger, and those players that have played for the top four clubs don't seem to have the hunger that a 21 year old from the lower leagues or abroad will have. Look at QPR as a prime example. Their best players were Townsend and Remy who both were given their first opportunity in the PL and were determined to take it. 'Known' players bring experience but is no use if they're only after one last big contract. Incidently I've never heard of half that Swansea team last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
