Newton 0 Posted August 14, 2015 de Guzman would be a great call - would we go to £5M tho ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Move Klose 303 Posted August 14, 2015 He was great at Swansea, sadly we need strengthening elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,087 Posted August 14, 2015 I think if Bournemouth get him for 5mil it will be a great buy just what we need a upgrade to sit behind the striker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted August 14, 2015 Would be a good signing and certainly not their first either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molly Windley 76 Posted August 14, 2015 Marseille are reported to be in for him too, Marseille or Bournemouth, which would you choose?Having looked through the Bournemouth "mega" signings, other than Gradel there isnt a player there that I would particularly want.

Grant Holts Moustache 105 Posted August 14, 2015 Bournemouth have made some decent time signings for them but I agree with others, Gradel is the only one I think could improve our squad. The major factor in signing him is because he was there before so already knows what they are about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted August 14, 2015 No stick beating from me, merely acknowledging that they''ve made some good signings and don''t appear to be finished either! In addition to Gradel I would''ve been happy with Atsu on loan and getting in a player of Distin''s experience at the back will surely help- even if only a back up option. Wouldn''t be bad for us to have him behind Martin and Bassong.I''m sure if we had signed any of the above then people generally would''ve been happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant Holts Moustache 105 Posted August 14, 2015 Distin wouldn''t have been too bad but we already have plenty of prem experience which is the main reason Bournemouth have signed him. Plus we need first choice rather than squad payer if we sign a centre back. Brady over Atsu for me. Brady is permanent so if he does well we have resale value, he can play a couple of positions and is also a set piece specialist which we seriously lacked last season.

Van wink 2,994 Posted August 14, 2015 Small club with inexperienced PL manager showing positive intent in the transfer market and attracting some good players!However can that be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,087 Posted August 14, 2015 not beating the club with a stick BUT It is a club signing players to make themselves better they were better than us last season over a season I don''t care if any of their players would get in our team etc as a squad they are adding strength and yes that worries me as they are a team we in our mini league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant Holts Moustache 105 Posted August 14, 2015 Norfolk yeah they got more points than us over a season but if we had Alex Neil from the start surely you can''t doubt we would have finished ahead of them? Our squad was better and so was our team. Demonstrated by taking 4 points off them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DDD In The Fine City 1 Posted August 14, 2015 Isn''t this the same one Whittaker ran rings around when we went down there and beat them? He couldn''t have been that great at Swansea they didn''t take up the option to buy himWhy is it when other clubs are linked with bang average players they are show ambition yet everyone we are linked with are only good enough for championship?

Yellow Green Army 237 Posted August 14, 2015 Jonathan De Guzman is far from bang average. He would walk straight into our first eleven. Without a shadow of a doubt.If he''s available for £5m then we need to be going after him even if midfield is not priority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,087 Posted August 14, 2015 De Guzman is not a championship playerhe is a upgrade if we have money left after a striker and a CB or if we know we can afford the 3 players we should sign him ASAP he would be one of the best players in the team !!

AJ 1,221 Posted August 14, 2015 Wow, I''d be quite surprised if he only goes for 5 million. As others have said are we missing out on some of these ''steals'' by being over conservative after the whole RvW disaster?We do seem to be keeping things close to our chests rather than just going out and making a bold statement. We don''t need a massive overhaul, unlike the other teams coming up we already have a squad full of Prem experience. But with that said, signings like this would definitely improve what we have.

DDD In The Fine City 1 Posted August 15, 2015 Oh sorry sir keyboard warrior I forgot you know quality footballers when you see them, you must be working as a scout for many clubs? De Guzman must be so great all the top clubs are in for him? Nope just Bournmouth, also who said he was a championship standard player? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
