lgfualol Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 Jordi gomez if Wigan dont get promoted I wouldnt want many other championship players, especially if they dont have prem league experience
Xen Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 We should be careful about who we pluck out of this league. Just look at Norwich... Johnson, Howson, Snodgrass, Pilkington, Becchio, Olsson all good at this level but are all a major part of a poor Norwich side. Exactly... And those players tend to have inflated values from doing well in the championship. I'd rather us go out and sign players from the foreign leagues or experienced prem players than players from the championship. There's one or two exceptions (I'd take McManaman, for instance), but suggestions like Deeney, McCormack and Rhodes in my opinion would not be the best option for us.
Danno Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 Weimann, S Sinclair, Angel Rangel, Snodgrass, F Coquelin, Winston Reid All good shouts for me Weimann

Unless you want to take a punt on more foreign players? Or sign 'Premiership' players who are about to be relegated, who else is there to sign? We aren't going to get established Prem players at established Prem clubs, or I very much doubt it. So the field is narrowed. Personally, I'd rather take current Championship players coming up, than ex-Championship players coming down from the Prem.

Johnson, Howson, Snodgrass, Pilkington, Becchio, Olsson all good at this level but are all a major part of a poor Norwich side. And all part of a side who, to be fair, have stuck around in the Prem now for a bit of time. It wasn't the Championship players who have fooked Norwich over this season, Snodgrass for instance, has been one of their best players. No, it's been the likes of van Wolfswinkel.. the big money, foreign players who have been a complete flop.
MGLCFC Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 From the Championship - Ulloa, big, strong, quite pacey and scores goals. Would do a job up top if we needed a lone striker. Antonio - again powerful and very fast left winger, but right footed. We have two Frenchmen that can play on the left and with Antonio and Dyer, we'd have two left sided players. Would also like 3 or 4 more players from overseas, not because of the glamour, but I genuinely believe you can pick up technically more gifted players for a far more affordable fee. The risk is they turn out like Hellings or Keabi. However, I trust that Steve Walsh is one of the best in the business and will unearth several gems just like Knockaert and Mahrez. Lastly a goalkeeper that can be understudy to Kasper (If he stays). Ben Hamer is not a bad shout and could develop into a top keeper as I'm sure Kasper has ambitions to be a top 6 keeper or even move abroad in a year or two.
conLAD logan Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 I personally think deeney has west ham written all over him, but him or ulloa would be one player I'd like to see join us
Guest Col city fan Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 Jordan Mutch and Caulker are no brainers for me. I'd take both in a heartbeat.
elangLCFC Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 Sorry if this has already been suggested, but if West Brom end up in trouble, what about Chris Brunt?
dmayne7 Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 Jordan Mutch and Caulker are no brainers for me. I'd take both in a heartbeat. Mutch yes but Caulker . No chance. He's got a buy back clause to Spurs in his contract and he's probably the best young English defender in the Prem so he'll be moving onto a much bigger club. I'd love him though. Sorry if this has already been suggested, but if West Brom end up in trouble, what about Chris Brunt? Yes! If Norwich go down, Leroy Fer. And even more Yes!
LCFC2001 Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 If Schmeichel leaves, David Marshall could be a realistic option.
Number 6 Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 Do like the look of Ulloa. Would obviously require Brighton to stay down. Hard to gauge what our ambitions would be. Part of me thinks I'm being extremely unrealistic thinking of people like Scott Sinclair and Gylfi Sigurdsson but then why not? I'm still intrigued to see how Nigel will play the transfer market now that he has much more to spend.
Stadt Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 I can't see us signing many if any players from the Championship.
Foxboy Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 If WBA drop what about Foster as a back up keeper? Also if Swansea don’t win today they will be on there way to relegation so what about Bony? 11 goals tin the perm in an average side is pretty decent. Also like the looks of shelvey but thats probably pushing it a bit.

Also like the looks of shelvey but thats probably pushing it a bit. Bony no chance. He's done a brilliant job at Swansea. If he was looking for a move it would be to a bigger club. Foster on the other hand I would love here but if Kasper decides to stay on with us, which we hope, then Foster won't come here. He will be looking for first team football and frankly he might see us as a backwards step career move.
Leeds_Fox95 Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 A lot of people mentioning Chris Brunt, I agree. Cracking player and has done well for West Brom. Maybe bring Gareth McAuley back to the club?
Bryn Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 Chris Brunt and James Morrison have both been awful for WBA for some time now.
MikeyT Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 Think I saw someone say Sebastian Larsson and Adam Johnson from Sunderland. Great shouts!
Bryn Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 I repeat, please read. Chris Brunt has been a really, really poor player for a long time now.
Agent Fox Posted 13 April 2014 Posted 13 April 2014 I would hate to sign McCormack, I don't rate him at all - Leeds are a poor team, if he doesn't score then they won't score. I'd like to sign one/all of Hoolahan, Snodgrass and Redmond. Adam Johnson is a bit of a prat, no thanks.
