Realistic Transfer Targets

[Tyrone Biggums]

We're more likely to pay for a decent L1 player, get a few players in that are out of contract from Championship teams on frees and possibly 1 or 2 foreign players.

 

[Sam Ovett]

Pure speculation though, as their manager dismissed :/

 

[perseus]

The recently capped England international who's scored regularly in the Premier League this season?

That's the problem with English internationals. The fringe players are more likely to play for England than their Premiership team. One day the England team will be picked from Championship sides as the Premier will be full of foreigners.

Joking aside, the whole point is Newcastle Unuted want to sign Wellback and then Lua Lua would be surplus. I doubt if it will happen.

Hatem Ben Arfa / Kazenga LuaLua = absolutely
Danny Wellbeck / Kazenga LuaLua = not really

 

[Jimbo26]

Kevin phillips, anyone?

Wouldn't say no !!

 

[Jimbo26]

Tubbs from Crawley.

Too far of a step for the lad IMO

 

[blue'n'white]

I wouldnt mind getting hold of that Andros Townsend on loan if Lua Lua dosent happen, hes a very good player.

Quite agree - Andros Townsend is a class act
Would love to see Jamie O'Hara sign for us but it ain't likely to happen !!
Nathan Ellington could be a good bet - decent player

maybe some strong players from the teams that don't go up:
Southampton: Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert, José Fonte
Peterborough:Craig Mackail-Smith, George Boyd
Huddersfield: Anthony Pilkington

Sorry to disappoint, but probably all out of reach.

Lallana - £5,000,000+
Lambert - £1,500,000+
Fonte - £2,000,000+
Mackail-Smith - £2,000,000+
Boyd - £1,500,000+
Pilkington - £3,000,000+

These are players that I think would only go to prem sides or sides expecting to challenge for the NPC title. The valuation on these players may seem high, especially on the saints players and Pilkington, but they are integral players and we don't need to sell. If someone want's to stump up that amount of cash, we'll take it.

I think some of you need a reality check, yes some of these players mentioned may want to go to Brighton, but you won't be the only side interested...

It seems almost every player Palace wanted in the last few seasons has ended up at a bigger club with bigger pockets and next season you will see the same.

spot on I reckon - or it would be if we were chasing "names" but then we even found it with Harley from Exeter who you might have thought was still under the radar of most clubs but was nicked by Swansea

Ha. Pilkington certainly isn't worth 3 million at the moment! Let's see how he recovers and he'll need more than a decent 18 months in league 1 to be worth 3 Mill. Honestly, If he is worth that, Bennett is worth 6.
If Peterborough don't go up, none of their players are worth more than a million. If Saints don't go up then all those valuations can be halved.

It's bloody frustrating, we were hopeful of signing Leroy Lita and Jay Simpson for example but two recently relegated Prem sides in Boro and Hull came in and offered better terms.

The Championship, I reckon will be ridiculously strong next season. You'll be better off trying to use Poyet's contacts rather than go for some of the names suggested.

And, WHAT THE f*** IS THE NPC?

This. 95% of the names in this list are just pie in the sky. The two Dundee players are far more likely, as are a couple of ex-Spurs/Chelsea players, or loanees.
People are in cloud cuckoo land.

It is a bloody good read though, you have to admit? Forlan, Toure, Joe Cole, Michael Owen, absolutely superb! If we can't get the likes of Harley from Exeter what on earth makes people suggest players like this? We would be seriously lucky to land players of the calibre of Mackail-Smith and Boyd etc

 

[Mackenzie]

How about Shaun Derry from QPR.....good at what he does, not good enough for the prem.

nPower Championship, i no it's stupid

Pilkington is worth that much to Hudders, not saying that's his true value. They won't want to part iwth anything less than that. The peterborough players may drop in value because of the clus financial predicament, but I still think they'll be over £1,000,000 each. The values of the Saints players won't shift that much. We won's ship out Lambert for less than we bought him for, same for Fonte. So both will be near the £1,500,000 mark should we not go up. Lallana, just signed a 5 1/2 year contract so his value won't move at all. Plus he'll go to a prem side, not championship.

 

[KNC]

Thing is........ I believe so much in Gus and Tano. I believe they can get an 'average' player and mould him into something fantastic.
What they have done to El-Abd is nothing short of miraculous, and they will do it again.

 

[APACHE]

Get ready for some unknowns, everyone is looking to improve their team, but English players are way over the odds in price and wages.
