Kitchandro Posted 23 June 2013 Share Posted 23 June 2013 Does make me laugh when people say certain players are no better than what we already have so we shouldn't sign them. I understand the need to improve, but that is very difficult to find players miles better than you already have when you're in this league, so how about we sign some proven championship players and have a bit of competition for places. Sharp may be no better than Nugent, but he's probably as good. Where's Nugent's pressure to work for his place in the team when all he's got pressuring him for a place in the team are kids and substandard strikers? Sign players like Sharp, and we'll have more strength in depth, player will work harder for a starting spot and we'll have more chance of promotion. Agree in this case. Nugent and Wood were both shockingly out of form for months last season and had no real competition. A player like Sharp would be a good signing, we certainly need another striker IMO. I do think in certain other areas we need better than we already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 23 June 2013 Share Posted 23 June 2013 I wouldn't say 2013/14 is make or break, or we're "fvcked if we don't go up", did people not say that about the last two years? I agree our current situation isn't ideal but it could definitely be worse, at least we do have some very decent players tied down at the club. Wouldn't go near Sharp either. Maybe I'm in a minority but it's just morals, I wouldn't go near any player in the world who's turned us down twice already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't go up and fall short of the FFP reg's we face a fine and transfer embargo. I would think that will then kill our chances for the 14/15 season that pretty much make or break in my book.

We don't know the reason why he turned us down,but if my memory is right had his son died around that time....could be it was not the right move for him and opted for a fresh start on the south coast with Southampton.

He said he didn't want to be too far away from his family up north. And then he moved to Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indierich06 Posted 25 June 2013 Share Posted 25 June 2013 I'd expect our activity to start once a few players leave. I bet Pearson's got a few players lined up, he's just waiting for deals on players like Beckford, Gallagher and St Ledger to go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading signings of Bridge and Drenthe are prob best, them and QPR must have strong squads to go up Agreed however, I personally don't want many players coming in and out this summer. Get rid of the deadwood (Beckford, Gally ect..) and build on the quality we have. All these so called 'fans' who are moaning about the lack of activity are still playing the 'Sven Goran Erikson's: Football Manager 2012' game and still haven't come to terms that this is'nt a computer game and its the real world we live in. We need to build a solid SQUAD not a team of individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
