What Do We Still Need?

[Silent Bob]

People thinking Calderon will be the first choice left back is amazing.

More likely that Saltor will play LB than Calderon imo, and that's probably still not that likely.

Neither is going to happen! What's happening here?! The season doesn't start tomorrow. We'll sign a left back.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

We need an ageing, balding playmaker who lacks pace but can spray passes all over the pitch

We need a moustached centre-forward with bandy legs who doesn't contribute much to overall play but has an unerring eye for goal.

And finally, an up and coming left-back from a Premier League club that can defend and has a floppy fringe.

 

[BensGrandad]

Any news on GEKAS the Greek striker.

 

[Northstandite]

With the signings of Bruno and Kuszczak now done and dusted, what other positions do you think we need to strengthen ahead of the start of the season?

For me:

- left back
- central midfielder
- striker
- Vicente

should do the job very nicely.

Exactly.

Today's signing proves Gus was of the same thinking as the minority on NSC who have mentioned the big defensive weakspot at right back over the last year. Well done Gus.

 

[Marshy]

We need Jonjo Shelvey, a goal scoring centre midfielder.

Oh and I would happily take Crofts back too....

Either and I would be delighted.

Tick. Quality left back will arrive soon, as proven by the Mattock bid.

Both class.

No goals , no hope of improving our position in the table so all signings are pointless until we get a big lad up front like Rickie Lambert or Grant Holt

 

[The Terminator]

Agree with op

Or just a class finisher of the ilk of Chopra.

With the service of Vicente, Buckley, Noone and the midfield general to come, someone to put away the bullets.

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Would like LB , CM and 2 strikers

+ VICENTE

If they are all class then should challenge for top 6

If they are all CLASS top 3

= promotion

 

[chucky1973]

we need to lose some dead wood first, if not our wage bill is gonna massivly effect the budget Gus has, if we dont get rid of some now, we wont get what people are saying above unless on free transfer.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

We need a 'big lad up front' despite what the half-bright would have you believe. Don't need some overweight slug to 'hold the ball up' for the cavalry that is never going to arrive. On the other hand a Chris Wood playey-likey would not go amiss

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

I'm happy with what we have now. I don't really get the obsession with promotion. There are 15 teams who will be trying to achieve it, so let's not build any pressure on us to be one of them. My one MUST for this summer was a proper keeper, which we have already sorted. I'd have been really hacked off with the thought of having to endure Brezovan again. Anything above that is a bonus. I'm quite happy watching a team that finishes 10th or even lower in a stadium like The Amex every week. There is no need to blow loads of money on numerous options all over the pitch. We still have some cracking players to look forward to seeing again, like Kazenga, Buckley, Bridcutt, Greer and CMS. Throw in a Kuzsczak and hopefully Vicente and I'm absolutely delighted even if we get nobody else.

Great post, totally agree.

 

[peterward]

Left back= Nick Shorey,
Centre Mid= Gary Gardener
Vicente
Two Strikers= Henderson,+ foreign goal machine.

All that and i'm off up the bookies to put a ton on us winning the league.

if that comes off, i'll come with you

Agreed... refined to:

powerhouse central midfielder, striker with presence

Lacks ambition... you might be happy, but the butterflies won't be... expect us to strengthen and at least compete for play-offs, or the season ticket sales will start to slowly decline... luckily, TB and Gus are a bit more positive and forward-thinking than you are...
