TrentVilla Posted May 29, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 29, 2013 How have you lot got hold of Alex McLeish's scouting list? I recently overhead him talking in Tesco...... Was he wearing a suit? Indeed he was. Just wanted to make sure he wasn't working there, I heard they had a managers vacancy available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 James McCarthy whats the chances of us getting him No chance . He's valued at £10m . Lambert doesn't do expensive. He's a true Scot. Well hes the right age and has a grest attitude so ticks the boxes. I think we would pay 10-12 if the right player was available. Would have to ne special though which i think McCarthy is.

Its an interesting point whether Lambert will come further up the leagues to find talent. Less of a gamble but will have to pay a premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They signed 1 or 2 at around that price. As i say if the special player is available i believe he will. Age/attitude then price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 99% sure he will have it in his head that if he can find players like Westwood in League Two, that it would be ridiculous to sign McCarthy for £10m from the prem (Relegated but obvs a prem player) .

Can't say he's ever stood out to me Can't see what all the hype is about either, could probably get a player that is just as good if not better from the continent if we were to spend £10m or even less on one man.

PandaMac Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Twitter bollocks has us linked with a loan move for brazil u19 striker Lucas piazon with a view to a permanent deal. Not seen too much of him tbh. Don't really know why I'm still looking to twitter, or even why I'm posting it on here lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambridge-AVFC Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 McCarthy would walk into our team. He's just a better Ashley Westwood imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardvillan Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Daily Mail suggesting we have made a £3.5m bid for Aleksandar Tonev. We'll see. Like the look of him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 If we're going to get Petrov luring some of his fellow countrymen to play for us then I hope he starts talking to Georgi Milanov too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 McCarthy would walk into our team. He's just a better Ashley Westwood imo. Completely different players. He's not really similar to any of our current players. Maybe Delph if I had to pick one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
