Condimentalist Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 3 quality additions and a few more obscure gems and we'll be in really solid shape next season. I just hope we keep hold of everyone but I'm optimistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Figueroa from wigan would be one CB I would consider. Need another full back to take over from Bennett . Isn't he a lb? Also getting close to 30. Wouldn't touch any defender from Wigan, no improvement on outs.. After all they are going down for a reason You are correct on both.He plays LB + CB - and yes is close to 30. But for me for what he would cost, he would provide us with a lot of options - and another senior pro at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Now the fun begins! Out - Given, Dunne, Ireland, Makoun, Holman, Bannan, Bent. In - Backup goalie, left back, centre back, a few 'creative' midfielders/forwards, striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Aleksandar Dragovic - now that would impress me......and be a real statement of intent - just what we need. (FC Basle, CB, cost around £6m) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cizzler Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Liam Bridcutt.. I agree. Tidy player who is ready to make the step up and fits into Lambert's ideology. Would give Westwood a good challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Remember the links to Liam Trotter of Milwall earlier in the season. How's he done this year? Edited May 14, 2013 by StanBalaban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Trust Lambert with signings. Very relaxed about the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 For those of you who seemed to like my last post on how Dortmund built their team and the similiarities to how Lambert is building the side I'll have another lengthy post coming soon. I know people like to float a lot of names in the transfer forum over the summer so for a bit of fun on my part and hopefully for the rest of you I've composed a list of players who could interest us from around some of the European leagues. (Trying to get ahead of the game and find the next Michu for my fantasy team next year) Been holding off on posting it until now as I didn't want to tempt fate! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeps Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I think we need to sign a couple of experienced players too. It's all good signing young talent but we do a sprinkle of experience too IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Out: Given, Hutton, Stephens, Lichaj, Warnock, Dunne, Makoun, Ireland, Herd, Bannan, KEA, NZogbia, Bent, Delfouneso The ones in bold can be given another year as it would be a heck of a squad change to lose and replace all of those, but I really wouldn't mind if we lost all of those. Estimate about £15-20m in fee's and £390k a week in wages from the non-bold players And around about £25-30m in fee's & £520k a week including the bold players?

Avflife Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Without looking at any of the players who could be off in the Summer e.g. Bent, Given, Hutton, Ireland, Bannan etc. we would possibly need the following: An experienced partner for Vlaar, replace Dunne, lot of people mentioning FM wonderkid Kjaer, Chester or Dragovic. LB, any time Bennett comes up against quality he gets slaughtered. CM, someone like Karagounis at Fulham, obviously younger but with a bit of experience under his belt. Dunne, Lichaj, Marshall, Makoun and sadly Petrov off so far. Edited May 14, 2013 by Avflife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
