Hackneyisblue Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 ...from the premier. From bentleys: 'From what I gather, they consider spending upto a million on a Prem striker who has scored goals in the Championship is better than £3m on someone unproven at this level ie Beckford They may take a punt on Phillips but they have a few irons in a few fires elsewhere as they look to strengthen. Leroy Lita was definitely on their radar but was asking for something like £20k a week which they wouldn't pay'
dandannieldanok Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 If you are "taking a punt", why on earth would you choose Phillips of Beckford. Crazy thinking.
richie8oy Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 Could David Nugent be on the radar after falling out with team mates at Portsmouth?
Finchy Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 Could David Nugent be on the radar after falling out with team mates at Portsmouth? Good shout, hope so.
Finchy Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 Will Nugent drop down divisions though? Well if he has any sense, he's not exactly set the Premiership alight, he needs a new start really.
carterfox90 Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 nugent would be a good buy proven at this level
Hackneyisblue Posted 19 August 2009 Author Posted 19 August 2009 Well if he has any sense, he's not exactly set the Premiership alight, he needs a new start really. Someone on Bentleys has just stated that it is Nugent
Hackneyisblue Posted 19 August 2009 Author Posted 19 August 2009 Tell us something we don't know... You knew that did you? Strange as everyone else seems to be hoping it is Beckford and there are plenty of rumours supporting that theory. Sorry, just posted from someone who is in the know.
Leicfox Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 Don't think we'd ever get Nugent, a lower Prem team like Stoke/Hull would snap him up imo.
Nick Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 His scoring record is something like 1 in 3 - Even if this wasn't just a mere myth to be speculated upon, I contraversially would have to say...... "dunno....... not sure if I am interested" I'm just not a Nugent fan - young player who had a meteoric rise to ascendancy but did so in my opinion a bit too quickly. Not sure he would have the balls to drop down a division, live in Leicestershire and take the dent in the pride dropping down from the Prem.
dandannieldanok Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 Nugent would be a great improvement on what we've already got.
JoeyB Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 Healy from sunderland? - actually he's not that prolific.
Finchy Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 Nugent? Didn't he start for Pompey the other day? No he played for 4 mins against Fulham. He has a woeful record at Pompey
Dan Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 I said Nugent a couple of weeks ago. £1mil? No chance tbh.
JoeyB Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 1Mil for Nugent would be nice, but not going to happen! i could see us paying 1 mil for a season long loan with 2m future purchase fee. (or is that just on footie manager)
Fox92 Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 Someone on Bentleys has just stated that it is Nugent
Cheese Me Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 Healy from sunderland? - actually he's not that prolific. That would be a great shout. He should be very strong at this level and shouldn't cost too much
Jon the Hat Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 Been saying for ages we cannot afford to punt millions on an unproven striker. That and Nigel's unoubted ability to get people playing, and you have a recipe perfect for a failed prem striker to drop down and restore some confidence. Not a bad plan.
morris1234 Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 Daryl Murphy. hes going to ipswich isnt he? good player though, always seemed to come up with a goal when needed for sunderland in the championship and even once or twice in the prem i think!
