[Albion] 5 players who should be on Chris Hughton’s January wishlist

[BensGrandad]

The issue is though that Bong is due to be back in 8 weeks time, based on the initial assessment. Would Ashley Cole be match fit much earlier than that ?

I think we really need someone who'll be in the team within 2 weeks of signing.[/QUOTE

Who knows, we ideally want somebody in Sunday at Bunley what about a loan and January buy of the Aussie from Bradford as mentioned previously.

 

[Megazone]

Ravel Morrison- Improves team moral
Michu- same as above
Joey Barton- Improves intelligence of team.
Ashley Cole- Influential role model and loyal team leader.
Ched Evans- Any publicity is good publicity.

Squad complete.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

I think it's time to give up on Calleri buddy. There are PL sharks in the vicinity.

My 5 are:
Matt Derbyshire
Jed Wallace
Mark Hudson
Reuben Reid

Interesting list but none of them for me. I believe we will be looking at a potentially higher quality, but then nothing would surprise me.

I have not decided my five shortlist, two to sign yet. Later. Saturday afternoon probably.

 

[BensGrandad]

If you really want a name to play with for a month loan to go in the shop window who would be ideal and is not in his managers good books Jermaine Defoe.

We have the wingers when fit so don need to sign another one plus there is talk of this 18 year old from Dagenham & Redbridge. AS I said I am not saying Reid is the answer just to take look at if you dont look you dont succeed Peterborough seem to have made a lot of money and been succesful with bringing in players from lower league clubs. What we desperately need is a 'fox in the box' goalscorer above any other position.

BG - You cannot use Peterborough as an example of obtaining players from lower and non leagues and then selling them on at a profit.

Peterborough had the benefit of the Man Utd scouting system to help them with that and that is a 100% fact. What happened was when Man Utd were scouting players and they came across someone who perhaps was not quite good enough for Utd but they would be good enough for League 1 or the Championship. Alex Ferguson would tip Darren Ferguson off and through that the wheels would be set in motion. Thats why they had such sucess in the transfer market in recent years.

Those players were what kept Darren Ferguson in a job for so long

I hadnt considered that and given the credit to Barry Fry.

 

[Telford Seagull]

I was told it by a senior coach at the club that we offered more than you quote. Eventually Stephens came to us for a reputed fee of £650k an Kermognant went to Bournemouth for a reputed £900k

From a closer 'source' Stephens' fee was more than that....

 

[BensGrandad]

From a closer 'source' Stephens' fee was more than that....

So we wouldnt have got the 2 with an offer of £1.1m mind you that is now water under the bridge and apparently Charlton are trying to get Kermognant back on loan.

I honestly can't see us solving the left back problem before January. The problem is that for as long as Rosenior is doing a great job there as a stand in, the club won't go for a short term loan replacement.

The problem is of course, that we are missing Liam doing that great holding role in midfield, especially away from home when we need to shore things up and play a bit more defensively.

Ruled out Yann Kermorgant. Aged 34. That leaves my five with none on the list. I won't be disappointed if we sign none of the list pulled out of a hat at random.
Leeds random list:

http://footballleagueworld.co.uk/5-players-who-should-be-on-steve-evans-january-wishlist/?

Liam Bridcutt

Kyle Lafferty

Lewis Grabban

James Wilson

Joao Carlos Teixeira

I think it is a better list, but I would not choose any of them, perhaps?

The first and last on your amended list are definates no no's. The other three? . . . maybe.

 

[Sheebo]

As eexpected

I'm sorry? You should get a for that unprovoked attack? All I did was do a realistic list in my opinion. All have been mentioned on here recently by my knowledgeable fellow fans?

Is it a coincidence that they were all names only mentioned by me so I believe it was a veiled attempt at deriding me and trying to make me look foolish for suggesting them.. If it wasnt I aplogise.

Lewis Grabban couldn't kick doors at Halloween - It amazed me the amount of goals he scored for Bournemouth and Rotherham. When he was at Palace and Millwall he was hopeless and he obviously hasn't made the step up with Norwich either in the Championship or the Premiership. His level is League 1 football

No they're my picks - I went to school with Jed Wallace's brother and he's a very gifted footballer...

Apology accepted.

 

[GT49er]

That's pretty stupid BG. They are all strikers. Where would you play them all?

I don't think you've really thought this through.

One of them could do a job at LB, Shirley?

 

[NooBHA]

I will give you a name to look out for in the future. Only 18 years old and already looking like a star - Fred Onyedinma

Better than his brother who incidentally has only played 5 times for Wolves this seasom so perhaps finding the step up to The Champion ship too big.

Agreed that he seems to have gone off the boil at Norwich, but you don't score an absolute hatful of goals for Bournemouth, and then become a bad player overnight.

I think he can do a more than reasonable job in the Championship.
