Who to sign?

[horshamseagull11]

Players to consider?

At Preston:

Sean St Ledger- versatile defender can cover at right or left back.
Billy Jones- young talented central defender.

At Leeds:

Patrick Kisnorbo out of favor with injury, strong experienced central defender.

At Sheffield united:

Ched Evans- young striker, huge talent

I mentioned Billy Jones in another thread, he's got quite a left foot on him and can score free kicks... as we've seen for ourselves. He would offer left back and centre back cover, which is worth considering but I don't think Ched Evans is. Everytime I've seen him he has looked slow and very overrated. I don't think he's worth the risk.

I always thought Jones was purely a left back. Good player though.

So did I, but a Crewe fan assures me he was better in the centre of their defence. He seems a bit like McNulty, we signed him as a left back but he'd been playing for Stockport at centre back, because Michael Rose was their left back at the time.

Similarly Marcos Painter. Played regularly at centre-back in Swansea's L1 title win. Swans mate of mine can't understand at all why we'd play him at left back.

Different player. there are two billy jones

That explains it. I vaguely remember now.

Well, the Billy Jones who scored twice against us in the 4-0 belly rubbing (McNulty's injury ), would be worth a look. Is he the one who is still there?

There are, and bothe are defenders who played for Crewe. I think we know the one we are talking about though. Played left back at the Withdean, scored a cracking free kick. Now at Preston. That's all the same lad.

the other one is at Exeter now, and I can't really recall him at all.

There's 2 Billy Jones', both played a lot of games for Crewe, and both are defenders. Bloody confusing.

Either way, one of them was a cracking player, but i'm not sure which one The other may well be just as good. I'm presuming the one who impressed me moved to Preston.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Who to sign: Adam Rooney or Clayton Donaldson
Who not to sign: Chris Wood

Clayton Donaldson

Struggled at this level before, and looked a real donkey, in the mould of Mark Mccammon. There are some good goalscorers at league 2, who have the ability to play at a higher level, but there are others who will struggle at a higher level, Craig Davies/Fleetwood/Donaldson etc, all of whom have very little ability on the ball but create so many chances with their pace/power.

 

[severnside gull]

If Benno goes to Norwich maybe Cody McDonald coming the other way? Scored plenty (admittedly in league two on loan at Gills) but young and talented. Could be a good one to bring through via the Development squad and the subs bench.
I think Billy Jones has a chance of moving up to the prem next season.
Don't rate Ched Evans at all - strikers may do other things than just score goals but you do expect them to at least score some.

 

[hastings]

Kisnorbo being offered new deal at Leeds and Ched Evans being chased bout Ipswich.
Sure the Preston Boys would be a good addition although whether good enough would remain to be seen.

 

[HG201]

A massive yes to Sean St.Ledger from me!

The exeter jones scored the free kick and penalty

 

[Marc1901]

Like I have said before I would like to see us go for players like Keith Treacy from Preston or Andros Townsend from Spurs.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Sean St Ledger would be good, allways gets good plaudits when Preston are being discussed

 

[jharris]

Bueno striker on loan at Derby.
Parrino Right Back/Centre Half on loan at Shef Utd
Marlon Harewood Blackpool

 

[JBizzle]

3 out of 4 of those players (St Ledger, Evans and Jones) all play for relegated clubs. i.e. clubs not good enough for the Championship. Don't you think our sights should be a tad higher?
