The Powerful Midfielder

[stss30]

Name one, that isn't completely out of our reach? Not many around.

Box-to-box midfielders, who can put in a shift to "help out Bridcutt" are worth 2 midfielders in a line up, and any that are half decent are in the Prem and staying there.

Leadbitter is being talked about. I think he could fill that role and has a longshot in his armory also.

Mutch is a good lad and only 20 - if he hadn't broken his ankle earlier this season he might be more established than he is in the Birmingham first team. Lots of potential which might suggest that he will stay if they don't go up (and have to offload expensive "stars") and if they do would probably want to stay as a squad player so I fancy our chances aren't good

Rumoured in the press some weeks back that we were sniffing around as his contract is up.
Ipswich have offered him a new deal and were quoted as "hoping to hear news very soon" so if he fancies a move we might know in the next week or two - if he does he is likely to attract a fair bit of interest

I'd be suprised if we could offer him higher wages than Ipswich tbh but we'll see...

Paul Green of Derby is free to go...

The Algerian fellow Forest have on loan from Wolves looked pretty good against us. Suspect Wolves will want him for their Championship campaign though.

one of the best m/f's I saw at ours this season was Perkins (Barnsley skipper ? )

I agree, I actually mentioned him (Guedioura) in the 'rading Wolves' thread last night.

Trotter has played very well against us at least twice. He was sold by Keane which displeased many Ipswich fans.

 

[We're the Stripes]

He was brilliant at the amex. But he's hardly a box to box type player, more of a defensive mid, similar in style to Navarro.

Him and Bridcutt together would be SOLID.

Bailey's very much a rounded midfielder. Played in a more advanced/box-to-box role for Charlton where he scored a bucket-load of goals. Mowbray's converted him into a very effective ball-winning DM, where he tends to feed it off to the more creative Robson/Williams/Arca etc. - but he's certainly capable going forward, and knows where the goal is. Showed that with his strike vs Southampton. I don't think we'll have much chance of signing him mind, think Trotter would be more realistic - and is the sort of player Gus knows we're missing. He's not out of contract though, unfortunately.. (click)

What about Danny Murphy out or contract at Fulham I think and not being offered another one so I read.

 

[jharris]

Might be worth trying to tempt Andrew Crofts back ?.

Seyi Olofinjana of Hull mught be a good signing, lots of premier/championship experience with Stoke, Cardiff and Wolves.

 

[Marshy]

To be honest I would like Crofts and Trotter, we need 2.

Crofts I think will be available over the summer, has only a year left on his deal and Norwich will buy more players to establish themselves now. Crofts will only slip further down the order there, should be a reasonable price, is experienced in the Championship and Prem now. On top of that knows our style. Its win win all round, the man is a machine in the middle of the park.

Trotter is still a young man with great potential that he showed at the Amex. If we had Bridcutt, Trotter and Crofts, when bans etc happen we can easily cover without losing out.

 

[kalinski]

Trotter for me. Bullies defences. Something we lack big time

Trotter would require big money, very well rated and thought of at Millwall, but yes please!!!

 

[BensGrandad]

I cannot understand all the hype about Trotter as apparently according to Millwall fans he has had 2 good games this season both against us other than that he has been poor. Now Barry Robson and Bailey of Middlesbro are a different proposition.

Signed for Vancouver Whitecaps, final payday in the sun.

I read that elsewhere more is the pity as he was the best against us that I saw this season in the Championship.

 

[Foolg]

Robert Koren, not powerful, but would be an ideal replacement for Vicente were he to move on.

I don't think he would cost that much.
