Jez Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 We can do much better than Phil Jagielka You sure, he is better than Ferrier at right back and thats not even his natural position! Just because he plays for Sheffield doest mean he is worse! People can forget Sneijder, he wants to go to Spain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icklevillan Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 With regards to the West Brom issue, they staying down and all the links to their players throughout the season, I do think MON has shortlisted three or four of their players (McShane, Davies, Koumas and Kamara), but only as 3rd or even 4th or 5th priority. Obviously MON has drawn up a list of positions he wants filled and probably got 3, 4 or maybe even 5 names for each position. IMO all the WBA players are lower priorities should it prove difficult to bring in the main targets. For fun I've made a list of the positions it seems MON is looking at and what players I believe he has on his shortlist (1st priorities named 1st and so on): GK: Boruc, Gordon, ? RB: Richards, Jagielka, Young, de Jong, McShane CB: ?, ?, Davies (haven't got a clue really, but I don't think Davies is 1st choice) LB: Antunes (cover for Bouma if we don't get Taylor?) RM/RW: SWP, Milner, ? LM/LW: Taylor, Cook CM: Sneijder (don't think it will happen), Reo-Coker, Källström, Emana, Koumas ST: Bellamy (yes I believe MON's fascination with Bellamy is quite big), Huntelaar, Bent, Fabiano, Kone, Kamara, Nugent, Naismith, Sharp Out of those players I predict we'll end up with Gordon, Jagielka, Taylor, Reo-Coker and Bellamy. And probably two or three others (a CB amongst others) that my radar hasn't picked up yet. A long shot could be Norwegian CB Brede Hangeland of FC Copenhagen. I think he's almost certain to sign a DM to replace McCann. As far as I see it, his biggest priorities are a new DM, a new striker, and a new GK.

Which logoically has to be his number one priority as at the moment we have the inept defensively Aaron Hughes and the perma-crocked Mark De La Knee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Hierro Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 And Harry Redknapp saying that Taylor is not for sale. And with NRC holding out for a move to le Arse or ManUtd, it seems it will be a more difficult close season for MON than we would have hoped. Maybe we should start preparing the arrival of half the WBA squad afterall :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, no-one anywhere has managed to get a quote confirming that we were after either of these players. Just because we are linked by the Sun to a player who is then not for sale doesn't mean we've actually missed out on anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelle Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Do we have any quotes on any player, apart from Barry hoping for Bellamy to come? Quotes from MON himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 29, 2007 Moderator Share Posted May 29, 2007 Not that I know of Pelle, and Storey-Moore being excited by the targets.

MON hasn't said anything about any player so I think he's pleased with what he's got. We won't get any new signings. And whatever MON feels, etc... :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
