Players for next season, Who do want, Who's free?

[Happy Fox]

Mark Gower?

[Simmo86]

Zakuani is a good defender just crap on the ball.

A bit like Whitbread

[DontSellKnockaert]

Jerome Thomas, Cresswell, Doumbia and a decent centre back. Hello promotion

[Wymsey]

I've seen a few posters on here, in other topics, recommending Karl Henry (Wolves).

 

Should avoid him at all costs; nearly 31, can be aggressive, and gives away rather a lot of fouls.

A bit except Whitbread isn't any good defensively either

[lcfc will]

                               Schmeichel

 

                   Morgan Zakuani Keane

 

De Laet                                                 Olsson

 

                         James          King

                       

                             Knockaert

           

                    Ebanks-Blake  Nugent

 

Wouldn't mind this next season tbf. It seems most clubs at the top end of the championship have given up with playing 4-4-2 and this would suit us with De Laet and maybe another quick full back (Olsson maybe?) to get forward. Think we could play knockaert in a free role with James and King in behind. Ebanks-Blake could also score a few for us

 

Edit: Wouldn't mind Baptiste in that deefnce actually, didn't we nearly sign him?

Jerome Thomas is class, would love to see him here. Dorrans as well if he's not in WBA's plans for next season.

[MonarchFox]

Been watching quite a bit of French football and like the look of this bloke Dario Cvitanich, would like to see him up front with Wood.  Not sure how much he'd cost

[Bettsj2]

I think we should look to Africa. Bafana Bafana in particular.

[BW94.3]

Dont understand a lot of people's problem with SSL.  Yes he may be paid highly and had an injury hit season, but looking at track record it isn't an on going problem, and after all you don't start in the Euro's for no reason.

[brockmyster]

I see a lot of people say Cresswell, would he be affordable thouugh?

Certainly a top player, I think he would be quite expensive, his goals have took Nice to European contention and some big European teams have noticed him. So I think he might be out of our price range. I agree with you that we should be looking to France, after all what a player knockaert is.

If people want a tough tackling midfielder you have to be prepared to accept they will inevitably commit a lot of fouls.

 

Henry isn't the answer though.

Hows Harry Maguire getting along?

[Grewks]

I love these sort of threads.

 

 

People who have been previously calling for Pearson's heads are now suggesting we sign unknown lower league players. I'm sure they won't lower their expectations in line with this.

[KFS]

If people are going to be anti-hoofing, lets just say he's not what they'd enjoy watching. I saw him in the playoffs and it was hoof every single time. He had a few nice little touches however. 

He's got a lot of work to do yet.

[muzzycomeback]

Is Britt Assombalonga a made up name?  Might be difficult to shoe horn that one into a chant.  Although thinking about it - it it kind of rhymes with La bamba.

 

Bring it on!

We've got Assombalonga, now lets all do the conga LALALALA

Dont know if thats aimed at me, but weve been linked with Maguire whilst under Pearson before; Ive heard good things this season.

 

Not every effing thread should be turned into a Pearson In/Out shit sling anyway

no just aimed at you.

 

 

But people suggesting the likes of nakhi wells, players from crewe etc.

 

 

Yes, we need to build for the future, but are these fans willing to wait? As they have seemed really impatient this season.

  Ok then

 

We're always impatient in a multitude of differant ways, its probably one of the reasons why we're not all running clubs ourselves

[kingfox]

I think we should sign Yaya Banana.

[Bettsj2]

I think we should sign Yaya Banana.

Schmeichel

New CB - Morgan - New CB

De Laet - James - King - New LWB/LM

Knockaert

Nugent - Wood

 

Add another forward and another centre mid to that. I'd also consider getting another winger as we can revert to something a little more familiar if needed.

 

I'd love to see us try something like that. Three at the back seems to be an 'in-thing' at the minute and I think that utilises our three best attacking threats the most. It also relieves De Laet of doing as much defending as he'd be attacking just as much, and I think with three centre halves there'd be far more cover. You'd need a very strong season from every one of them but we've got some very suited players to playing something like that IMO. Just need to work on our defence.
