djc 0 Posted May 14, 2007 An interesting list of players.Not sure of your suggestion about Micael Hughes. isnt age against him?Daniel Nardiello would be excellent, though i saw on teletext the other day his club are planning to offer a new contract.Some of our transfer budget would be spent on signing on/agent fees but some of the above names could be well worth the gamble....

Mr.Carrow 394 Posted May 14, 2007 ".......leaving our entire transfer budget........" No, no, you`re forgetting agents fees, signing on fees, the taxi fare to Colney, and the cost of the pen that they sign with. Far more prudent not to sign anyone and hope that things might improve........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broken_hearted_canary 0 Posted May 15, 2007 i agree with the 2 strikers, however do we need both as look at our main striker?i''d love,Neil Alexanderbut never Danny Coyne the ex-burnley old codger defence is our crucial area, get a GK, few DF and 1/2 CM depending on what happens to safri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 0 Posted May 15, 2007 Capaldi and Garcia are not too Shabby either, Garcia is reportedly quite creative and has scored a few, Capaldi is another player who can play full back or on the wing - I think Plymouth offered him a contract, not sure on that one though.

JuanVelasco 27 Posted May 15, 2007 [quote user="djcat"] Not sure of your suggestion about Micael Hughes. isnt age against him? [/quote] Yeh hes getting on.... but he was palaces best player in the prem a couple of seasons ago... and the palace manager has said that if he can get rid of a midfielder he will sign him back (they have to cut their wage bill)..... and age isnt necessarily always a barrier is it?. Dublin is 38 mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fordy 0 Posted May 16, 2007 Only Alexander is worth trying to sign and better than what we have now! The rest are no improvement on the current squad. Quality costs, so we will have to either settle for championship mediocrity or gamble and try and get hold of another Bentley for a year, Derby did it this year with David Jones from Man U. The young talent is out there, we just have to use our apparent ''contacts''. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stone Cold 0 Posted May 16, 2007 Man city released a number of players yesterday including Trevor Sinclair and Stephen Jordan , While Sinclair would no doubt be on high wages Jordan probaly wont be and from whenever I''ve seen him play looks fairly handy at full back both would be good players to add to the squad if we''re serious about challanging for promotion next season.

Peter Thornes a surfing dynamo 0 Posted May 16, 2007 That''s nothing,I went to the stand up comedy they have at carrow road and to my shock and horror they were giving away pens (free of charge!) so that people could fill in competition forms to win a prize. I was so angry i could have squashed a grape. It''s just another off-the field white elephant, eating up transfer funds we could have used to sign fat Titus or Jason McAteer (last seen outside Halfords) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freeza 0 Posted May 16, 2007 prostcrastination? lol. Clearly not an English student then Ryan?! By the way, hairy hands? hmmm [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freeza 0 Posted May 16, 2007 Not to keen on Jordan, gives the ball away a lot. Neil Lennon, on the other hand, I would be chuffed with. Dion has proved age is not the be all and end all and he always seems to have plenty of passion and desire so if the club were satisfied he was up to another season fitness wise, he would certainly sort our midfield out. Wages would be worth it and not too astronomical anyway I would think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunky! 0 Posted May 16, 2007 The problem would not be transfer fees, it would be the wage bill. It would leave us with more money to spend on the players we have to pay money for, but probably not increases the total number of players we can bring into the club.That said, there are some interesting names knocking about, Calamity Bramble for one.......OTBC!Chunky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

macdougalls perm 0 Posted May 16, 2007 I''ve actually always really rated Granville - admittedly I haven''t seen him play for a while, but I thought he played pretty well for us in his loan spell here. Seem to remember him being good at pushing forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shardy 0 Posted May 17, 2007 The keeper we should go for without a doubt is gabor kiraly from palace. when they came down here in the prem season they played speroni and he was absolutely shocking i thought he would get them relegated on his own, but kiraly when i saw him play was awesome so in my opinion he''s the choice for me. Although I would imagine his wages are quite high otherwise palace would try to keep him.also capaldi and garcia would be good for us too, lwelumo might be worth a go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then why didn''t he do that this season? Must be that though , as I can''t imagine him up & down the wing - or mucking in beside Etuhu.[:-*][:)]OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can u sit down please 0 Posted May 17, 2007 I see Arjan De Zeeuw has been released. I think he would be a blinding signing. Played well for Wigan again this year, age isnt on his side but sometimes you need to ignore that. Fit enough to play week in week out and would possibly free Dion in a forward role.

Buncey 1 Posted May 17, 2007 Would love De Zeeuw, experienced and really in a Malky role. Illwemno (dunno how you spell his name) would be great. So to Nardiello who certainly has a bright future and is a good young player. I''d love to see them two, even if they don''t make first team (which they should) we can do with a good strong squad.
