BobbyLo 0 Posted July 22, 2009 I hope Maric sees sense and realises what a good club he''d be coming to. I like the sound of him, but maybe the fact he has done so well is messing with his ego. Grant Holt would be a good signing, runs around like a mad man (by that I mean covers a lot of ground, although not with an awful lot of pace!) and has a goal ratio of about 1 in 3 at this level. Be a good physical presence up top, if he can recapture some of the early form he showed when first at Forest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Man of Kent 0 Posted July 22, 2009 I can''t see us getting more than £250k for curo. I''d take it in a flash though, Martin looks a much better bet to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duffman 0 Posted July 22, 2009 There is no way Barnsley would sign curo. You''d have to be stupid to sign cureton twice......oh waitif maric and holt turn up then he can go as he may hault the development of Cody and martin if he stays Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carlton Canary 0 Posted July 22, 2009 Guys don''t get me wrong, all of this would make for a rather good League 1 side but we all get excited... just to be let down, season after season.. Instead of quoting names, I genuinely think we should just sit back, let the management decide and work on players/signings and we should all just hope they get it right..No matter what we say on here, it will never truely affect what goes on in the boardroom!As I said though, don''t get me wrong, I want all of these players to sign!

You mean, we will get money for him??![/quote]Highly unlikely IMO. Think Gunn is happy to keep him - but would be even happier to offload his wages if it meant being able to sign someone like Maric. (As such, it might even involve a payment to Barnsley!). Think Cureton will do OK this season if he''s still a round though. Like it or not Gunn is having to balance fees and wages on a very tight budget and it appears he is winning the battle. Every decent player signed makes it easier to persuade others to come - including the all important striker. Russell will be an important sale - if only because it makes keeping Hoolahan more likely.

On the plus side he might have high wages but he also has no transfer fee.He would be our biggest gamble. Especially if we signed a long term deal.I think from the way Gunn has been talking McVeigh will be offered some kind of deal.He would be a decent squad/bench player at this level who could play at various positions.
