jamie 10 0 Posted June 9, 2013 So I''ve been thinking about who I would like us to buy and who we have been linked with, personally I think the type of player we need in our squad is a technically gifted player, like Wes. My ideal player would be Marin who is at Chelsea, I saw quite a bit of him playing in the German league and he is the type of player who would pull two defends towards him which creates gaps, has the speed and skill to beat defenders plays wide but at best behind the striker, other players linked like capel and van ginkel would also bring a different class to out current team.I can''t see shelvey really making the same sort of impact as a technical player would, he is more of a physical player which we have already,My ideal signings would beMarin Van ginkelCapelBony or hooperWe need a centre back but I''m not sure who I would go for, I would put a cheeky bid in for lesscott but don''t think we could afford his wages.Thoughts?

Joanna Grey 0 Posted June 9, 2013 Very interesting. Are we breaking new ground here? Do we need to push the envelope a bit or carry on thinking inside the same old box? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grdean 0 Posted June 9, 2013 I wondered about Marin also but I haven''t seen him in action at all really- He has only started twice for Chelsea in the Prem this season. He would cost upwards of £7 million I think which may be pushing it a bit after a £8m+ transfer for RVW and after coming from a top club his wages will be high. Maybe a target for a loan although we would be need Chelsea to pay a chunk of his wages.http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/marko-marin/profil/spieler_35251.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwindonCanary 455 Posted June 9, 2013 I''m thinking that the RVW budget came from last seasons funds, maybe Hughton has now got a whole new set of funds to spend, so could afford another big transfer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy_Bones 441 Posted June 10, 2013 [quote user="grdean"]I wondered about Marin also...He would cost upwards of £7 million..and after coming from a top club his wages will be high.[/quote]I doubt most of that tbh.He signed for 7 million and they can hardly argue that his price has gone on based on his form and number of performances whilst at Chelsea.I''d expect 5 million to be more than enough for his signature.As for wages, he''s on a pretty sensible wage all things considered, supposedly in the region of 35k a week at Chelsea, so there''s absolutely no reason why we couldn''t match this at all.This is one of those signings where we could get a total bargain if we play our cards right, and in my mind he''s the first player McNally should be trying to bring in this summer.

ROBFLECK 132 Posted June 10, 2013 He''s not coming to NCFC , unless it''s out on loan...He ignored the offer of a number of big German clubs to go to Chelsea (for the money) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
