PurpleCanary 5,609 Posted January 1, 2012 I can exclusively reveal that we are on the verge of signing Ollie Twist from Workhouse United, of the Underclass League. He perfectly fits Paul Lambert''s criteria of of being young (very young, actually) and very, very hungry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZrgxHvNNUc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

calriv 0 Posted January 1, 2012 Kyle Naughton on a permenant, still being linked with Rhodes even despite what he''s said, Gunter and McGugan from Forest keep springing up, Maynard as well. Don''t rate Maynard, and haven''t seen much of the others so I can''t really have an opinion on that (apart from Naughton of course, who looked alot better on the left than he did on the right).

Move Klose 303 Posted January 1, 2012 Abdou & Taylor-Fletcher, are you having a laugh. When did you last watch football 2006. More like Liam Trotter (Ex scummer) and Matt Phillips of Millwall & Blackpool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Drinkell 50 Posted January 1, 2012 May only be a rumour (Gossip) but on a recent trip to watch Sheff Wed Vs Huddersfield a friend of mine told me that we are rumoured to be looking at Madine the Wednesday Forward/? I know nothing about him but I believe he''s another big strong striker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shefcanary 2,504 Posted January 1, 2012 Madine is another one whose agent seems to do a lot more talking than the player - giving Madine a problem as a "team player". Has not been a regular recently following leaked stories to the local press in Sheffield that Norwich and others were interested in him. Doesn''t sound like a Lambert player to me - bloody agents - know how to destroy players careers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leedscanary 355 Posted January 1, 2012 I would like to see a strong defensive midfielder who can bring the ball out from defence and also an attacking midfielder who has the "Huckerby" excitement factor - area''s we are strongly lacking in at the moment.

Weve (no longer) Got Angus 0 Posted January 1, 2012 How about a defender?Having looked at the league table, you see we''ve scored 28 and conceded 34, in only 19 games. This screams out that we are conceding far too many goals.Scoring is not our problem, so all this nonsense about "we need a new striker, or a creative player" is RUBBISH.Get a centre half in ASAP.

Bryangunnshairline 0 Posted January 1, 2012 Completely agree 1eed5canary. I think we need to sign a scotty parker type player and a Gary mcallister . Two questions come to mind. Who? Can we afford it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
