Additional signing(s)?

[portslade seagull]

To buy we need to sell so who are you willing to let go to finance all these signings

Matthew Upson is shit

Played nearly all his career in the Premier League and played over 20 times or England. I suppose you think Wayne Bridge is shit?

 

[driller]

Maybe the bundesliga has someone we want?

Powerful Centre midfielder as Crofts and Hammond are not the answer alongside Bridcutt.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I think Hammond has started to do very well in there, and Crofts is more than adequate cover for that role.

If we keep CMS and the new striker signs we do not need any other signings in my opinion.

No, I think Matthew Upson is shit, he was good at Birmingham about 10 yrs ago. Other then that hes been shit, scores alot of OGs, slower then Guy Butters, injured alot, shit. Not what we need.

Hammond is a strange one, he looks good a lot of the time but I do find myself getting frustrated with him when he turns the long way around again instead of playing a quick simple ball forwards. Has also been caught in possession/lost control in dangerous places too often recently.

I'm sure I've said something else recently that deserved a facepalm, so no worries.

Pacey Centre Back. The general feeling seems to be that we defend too deeply, presumably because we lack pace at CB. So that is what I would go for.

From where? Believable, but he hasn't played at all this season and surely Barca wouldn't have signed him if they didn't think he had enough potential to move from their 'B' team to the seniors?

Mmm, looks tasty

I'm not sure that it's a question of looking for any particular position - we have a good team and a good squad. However, if we want to get to where we'd all like to be, ultimately we'll need a better team and a better squad, so essentially it's a case of if a player becomes available and affordable, in any position, that's who we should get in.

 

[ees complicated no?]

David Lombán has played nearly 20 times for Barca B in the Segunda league as a CB he's scoring 2 goals is tall & fast, oh and former Valencia.

Upson is not great these days tbh. As others said 10 years ago yes, 5 years ago maybe. Wouldn't be optimistic but there we go.

Craig Dawson would be perfect for me but then I have got him 3 champ managers in a row I think (I know I know but mainly because I rated him when seen live as have WBA mates).

Marc Bartra was always the immense Spanish Barca B defender past few years but think he's had playing time early this season due to injuries so expect a loan would be out

Before anyone else comes in i can see a few more being shipped out.

Would like to see a couple of our fringe players loaned out for experience (Agdestien, and March) and possibly a few others sold/released (Painter and Ankergren) to free up wages.
