Summer signings - Where do you think the team needs strengthening?

[petelucas]

Did RS not have Flinders on loan at Yeovil?
Wouldn't mind him back.

 

[doug7126]

I think we need:

1 x Goalkeeper (with Kuipers as reserve)

1 x Centre back (If Lynch isn't coming back)

3 x Midfielders (Inc Dicker please)

1 x Striker (Hopefully Owusu)

i would go with that would like hammond back and give lynch another shot

 

[seagulls120]

craig disley, out of contract at bristol rovers
Roy Carrol out of contract at derby (bit pricey,his contract)
emmanuel villa out of contract at derby
Lloyd Awusu cheltenham gone down
love for joe lynch to stay
dean hammond to come back or do you lot think bring old faces back mess things up (MA)
Akinfenwa (northampton)

 

[HseagullsH]

I'd want the squad to be:

Goalkeepers: Kuipers, Sullivan

Defenders: Whing, Lynch, Elphick, Virgo, McNulty, Hinshelwood.

Midfielders: Loft, Fraser, Dicker, Cox, Mcleod. Then 2 to 3 quality signings.

Strikers: Owusu/Hart, Murray, Forster, Davies

 

[BensGrandad]

I like Terrel Forbes of Yeovil, a ball playing defender which we do not have.

 

[BensGrandad]

Tso I think a real top quality right winger who can beat a man should be top of the shopping list this summer.

Paul Iffil or Jason Puncheon on loan would solve the problems.

 

[algie]

Jason Puncheon is quailty.Ifill is a huge risk.Would like to see a young striker with energy and pace around 21 years of age.At least 3 new midfileders along with Dicker.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Left-back is a must as McNulty is out and agree with the need to boost midfield. But above all else we need to sign a leader, either an experienced centre back or in midfield. The team have lacked that arguably since the days of Cullip and Oatway so that must be a priority.

 

[BensGrandad]

And why would MK Dons allow LEFT winger Jason Puncheon, one of their best players, to leave the club?

Paul Ifill is more realistic I think.

Jason Puncheon scored againstus at MK whilst on loan at MK Dons from Plymouth, so it has nothing to do with MK Dons, by coming in from the RIGHT WING where he was playing at the time to head the ball into the net. The goal he scored at Withdean was from the left wing when he went past our defenders as if they werent there.

When playing for Barnet before being transferred he played as Cox does sometimes on the left and sometimes on the right.

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

Lee Hendrie would be a DREAM.

 

[BensGrandad]

a) He's not going to choose us over MK Dons

b) He's left footed

(a) There is no garauntee that MK Dons will try to sign him either permanant or on loan. They may have another Cheslea youngster in their sights if they get promotion and Plymouth may not loan him to a team in the same division.

(b) so was Chris Waddle and he only ever played on the right as was Paul Watson as a full back for us except for very odd occassions in an emergency.

 

[NF9]

A few from the following players wouldn't surprise me !!.
Paul Terry, MF Released by Orient (ex Yeovil)
Wayne Gray F, Released by Orient (ex Yeovil)
Michael Rose LB, Out of contract Stockport (ex Yeovil)
Luke Rodgers S,Released by Yeovil
Paul Warne M/F,Out of contract at Yeovil
Jean Paul-Kalala M, Oldham Out of Contract, (ex Grimsby and Yeovil)
Chris Weale GK, Bristol City Out of Contract (ex Yeovil)
Terrell Forbes D, Yeovil (out of contract)
Andy Welsh M, Yeovil (out of contract)
Len Bond Goalkeeping Coach Yeovil
Nathan Jones Yeovil Assistant Manager
Steve Thompson Bridgwater Assistant Manager (ex Yeovil asst)
Phil Jevons S, Huddersfield (ex Grimsby and Yeovil)

Every single player there is utter shit IMO, Jevons not to bad but too old.

 

[Austrian Gull]

Every single player there is utter shit IMO, Jevons not to bad but too old.

Like a few others, I was quite impressed by Stockport's left-back Rose On Saturday.
Pretty much agree with your summary of the others, though.

 

[BensGrandad]

After what has been said on by many, myself included, it will be interesting to see what changes RS makes to the backroom staff, if indeed he wishes to and is allowed to. It may well be that he will not see the need and will stick with what he has.

 

[Flicky_12]

i would like Michael Rose (Stockport County)
Michael Rayes (Stockport County)
a couple of decent midfeilders including Gary Dicker
would love to see Alexis Sanchez but hes playing for Udinese so very unlikely
And Lloyd Owusu maybe a 20 goals a season striker

 

[strings]

I'd want the squad to be:

Goalkeepers: Kuipers, Sullivan

Defenders: Whing, Lynch, Elphick, Virgo, McNulty, Hinshelwood.

Midfielders: Loft, Fraser, Dicker, Cox, Mcleod. Then 2 to 3 quality signings.

Strikers: Owusu/Hart, Murray, Forster, Davies

That is a good squad if (and only if) we pull out of the reserve league. If we are going to commit ourself to x amount of reserve fixtures, we will need a few more players. Some clubs have got around the problem by withdrawing from reserve leagues and just organising reserve team fixtures when needed (i.e. international breaks, or when players need match fitness before they are ready for first team matches).

 

[theonesmith]

Again, can we not bring players through decently from non league etc? Darren Ferguson took George Boyd who two years ago was a confectioner! Now he is in the Scottish B team and rated at 1million! Why can other teams at this level bring through class like that for nothing, yet our scouting system is awful. Dixon for example -.-.

Agree TCB, if he can teach them to interchange throughout the game it would be awesome!
