Summer 2012 Transfer Wish List

[ThurnbyLodgeFox]

I've seen him play four/five rinse in the Prem, Cups, etc. Also, ever since I found out Drinky cane from the United reserves I thought I'll check them out and Fryers can be lethal down that flank. I think he'll come in handy to support Dyer (since he has no backup).

have we signed him then?

all seriousness... it sounds like you've been playing too much FIFA or something

Be great back up for Dyer considering he's a left back/centre back

Had a look on the posh forum to try and find out something about Paul Taylor whilst reading thro they where saying that the owners where only offering 4 year deals and that if u don't want it u can go, anyway they where saying this is why Paul Taylor is leaving in the summer but others where also saying that they expect boyd to leave In the summer to, would he be worth a look at!? He only has 1 year left on his contract so could be available for a cut price!?

Alvaro Morata on loan please.

His main position is CB which is what we need (considering Mills may leave and Tunchev's contact is running out). But he can also play as LB and LM< which is what we also need as well. Why get two players for two jobs when we can get one? Especially with financial fair play coming in.

Cut price because he has 1 year remaining in his contract, that's what we said about Maynard

you make him out to be the next Gareth Bale

There's a difference between LM and LW, you know?

[kingfox]

We need.

Schmeichel

Peltier, St Ledger, Robinson, Konchesky

Brady, Danns, Koren, Marshall

Henderson, Nugent

Bench - Logan, Gunter, Jackson, King, Beckford

With - Smith, Moore, Morgan, Chester Kennedy, Dyer, Drinkwater, Templeton, Butterfield, Vardy, Schlupp, Hopper

Paul Robinson, James Chester, Robbie Brady, Robert Koren, Darius Henderson, Chris Gunter, Johnnie Jackson, David Templeton, Jacob Butterfield, Jamie Vardy are all realistic targets.

Sell - Mills(Preffably drug him and chuck him in a skip), Gallagher, Pantsil, Bamba(For good money) and a few others.

Why get two players?

So we get specialism, players who can actually play the psoition. I dont want a CB playing Left wing nor do I want a left winger ppaying centre back. We want promotion, which requires a quality squad with strength in it not having a CB as back up for a player who arguably should be a back up himself. Craig Levein tried to sign versatility and look where that got us

Not FIFA 12 (none of them are on it apart from Hunt) just experience from watching them play. All underrated, skilful players.

Would surely be starters? they ain't gonna come here to sit on the bench... Personally i see Gunter as abit unrealistic, weren't Prem teams sniffing around him abit back?

Also are you saying you want us to sign them all?? if so another pre-season of numerous signings and bedding in? no thanks we need at max 4 players and maybe a few more IF others leave.... And your target list isn't gonna come cheap either, NP will have funds but not like Sven had

The scope has somewhat changed since the Sven days in my opinion

I never mentioned stick him at LMW. No. We need him for CB (his strongest position) since we may lose two in the summer, I'm just a little concerned of the vulnerability of the LMW space since we have no back up at that position, should Dyer get injured/suspended.

Could we not just sign a quality left sided player and have Dyer as back up.

Still theyre are other centre halves Id rather have because we'd get them on a permanent, to build around them. Realistically Fryers will stay at Utd, go to another Prem side and a loan would be best bet. Rather not have laons unless its an emergency or a permanent is ready agreed

[halfpipe]

First of all RE: Peltier. He can be a liability, seems to get caught out of positioning a lot of the time, a lot like Bamba. And while we're on right backs, why do you rate Paintsil so highly? How many times have you seen him play in recent years? Pearson doesn't seem to think he's good enough based on what he sees at training. You can hardly call people that want a new first choice right back 'ridiculous'. I'd go as far as to say you're ridiculous for doing so.

Secondly, while having a decent first XI is all well and good, it turns out a lot of players get injured and suspended over the course of a 50 game season. Who'd have thought? How long was Kingy out for? Is Danns out for the season now? How long was Bamba at the ACON for? How many games have players missed through suspensions. You need more than a decent first XI.

Thirdly, what are you basing your argument that we can get promoted with basically the players we have on? We aren't promoted this season and we've been in midtable for most of it. Why would another season of exactly the same team suddenly get us promoted?

We need to buy better than we already have. There is no point buying substitutes, it just doesn't strengthen your team. While I don't want an overhaul I do believe a fair few peripheral players need to be let go and a few brought in in key positions.

Outgoings include Paintsil, Howard, maybe Vassell (I'll leave that to NP) and probably Mills.

Coming in I think we need a stand out CB that will be the first name on the team sheet as currently I don't think any of them excel. Secondly we need either a creative or strong CM partnering either Danns or Drinkwater. Next a winger, hopefully left and an improvement on Dyer who often lacks product. Finally a striker, if not an improvement on Nuge/Becks then certainly to their standard so they have some competition and there willbe 3 who all know they have a chance to start if they work hard. Wellens, Howard, Dyer, Gally can all hang around but they aren't good enough for a side seriously thinking about promotion.

Right, there, I've 'dared', your Grace.

Peltier can be caught of position. Your argument is flawed; how many times have you seen Paintsil play for you to say that he's not good enough? Ghana certainly think he is.

We've brought in too many signings the past couple of years. Every time we get new players, does it get us into the Premiership? Why not try a different approach and really get a TEAM blended? Do we not have enough viable players outside of the starting XI?

Current players not in starting XI (at least not the one I selected): Bamba, Paintsil, Mills, King, Wellens, Schlupp, Vassell. Please tell me these guys are not more than capable at filling in when needed? Out of those players I have just listed, the only position which cannot be covered is LB (granted Schlupp and Vassell aren't natural wingers, but they can play there), which I said we need a backup for, as well as backup wingers.

What are you basing your ideas of us getting promoted with new faces on? Did we not spend an awful lot this year, resulting in a mediocre at most season?

Buck your ideas up pal, you're mindset is one that you could carry for years: "We'll go up next season.. let's just sign some better players". Get a grip.

[Raw Dykes]

Pantsil is more than capable at playing RB in this league, so people who are wanting to get new RB's in are ridiculous.. we have 2 solid options already. Nothing wrong with Kasper, Konch, SSL, Morgan and Bamba at the back. Maybe have another LB as cover for Konch, as I'm not really too fond of Kennedy (atrocious awareness of his position).

Danns, Drinky, King, Wellens - All decent enough CM's.. Marshall, Gally and Dyer are perfectly capable.. Dyer has shown signs of improvement as far as I've seen, but could do with someone just as quick as him but with a better final ball. Can't fault Nugent or Beckford this season.. took Beckford a while to adapt to us, and some people think he has an attitude problem.. Honestly, he's done a good enough job for us this season, especially in the second half of the season.

Starting XI for next season doesn't need to include any new signings.

Kasper

Pelts -- Morgan -- SSL -- Konch

Marshall -- Drinky -- Danns -- Dyer/Gallagher

Nugent -- Beckford

Somebody tell me that we don't have enough quality to win the league, given that these players remain fit for the majority of the season. I dare you.

Haydos has already addressed this post very well, and I would have left it, then I got to the last sentence.

Pantsil!? Are you joking? Have you been paying attention at all? I'll tell you what's ridiculous - expecting a player who's frozen out to suddenly become a key player. He hasn't even made the subs bench for god knows how long. He's not injured. What makes you think he's going to feature at all next season? I expect he's second on the list of players to ship out after Mills. His wages are rumoured to be pretty huge, and he's not even being considered for the bench. He's as good as gone.

I don't think Peltier is good enough for a first choice right back for a Championship club aiming for automatic promotion. I think he might be a decent back up, but I'd expect right back will be one of the positions NP will most want to strengthen.

I agree that Danns, Drinkwater, King and Wellens are all decent enough, but none of them play defensive midfield very well. I think we need a combative midfielder to ease the pressure on the defence better.

"Somebody tell me that we don't have enough quality to win the league" Have a look at the table! The players we've got are the players that have been stuck in mid-table all season under two talented, and very different, managers. What makes you think they're suddenly going to win us the title next season? Granted, there has been some improvement, but there will still need to be a few more changes to turn the squad into title contenders.

I'd say keep Dyer with first team status. If we wanna get promoted, we need to use our moat experienced and skilful players and he fits the bill so far. Loanees would unsettle the squad in the sense that gameplay will vary because you can't rely on them because they'll eventually leave which would mean altering your gameplans. Who'd you think will fit the bill for 4th choice CB? One of our youths or we don't need one?

To me Mills and one of SSL or Bamba will go along with Tunch. Therefore we will need two CBs. Id like to see Chester down here, Craig Dawson possibly, Seb Hines, quite like to see Mee back. As for 4th choice, Id put Morgan there
