Jay Rodriguez

We will see thats all I am saying. And yes, the undroppable Lambert is probably the first name on the teamsheet, lets just hope he is worth it this year.

???

Over-rated, egotistical, arrogant big head. We could do better. And we already have one lazy target man we don't need another, added to the fact that he is the wrong side of 30, and only really had around 2 decent seasons in his career, if reports were to be believed was a destabilizing dressing room influence and would want a lot of cash. IMO we need pace, not has beens. True

I bloody hope we don't resign that tw*t

But it gives you something to think about. Think Richard Dunne, Terry, Vidic, etc etc Think Killer. I think we missed out on the young CB from Bournemouth aswell, who went to the skates, can't remember his name but he seemed to have a dominant streak in him aswell.

He just doesn't seem dominant enough for me, I would be much happier playing against Martin than Jaidi, and I am more of a pacey striker then a bustling target man. Martin just doesn't give me the impression that he would put me through a brick wall to get the ball where as Jaidi does.

Don't just write players off because of the league they ply their trade, bear in mind Charlie Austin who was playing non-league football not too long ago. Not that I think Le Fondre is what we need. But then IMO we don't need Sharpe either. Guly and Barnard will pose the biggest threat to teams this year but I think we need some pace around the front line aswell. We shall see.

Can't believe people are ready to resign Jaidi to the dustbin for being over the hill and yet still argue Connolly has a lot to offer. Jaidi is exactly what we need in this division, he is the perfect foil for Fonte, a mountain and a big horrible lump. Think back to Darren Moore in his Derby days. The problem is you can't have everything, yes he will occasionally be beaten for pace but he won't miss much in the air, and thats important. What we need is a replacement for Jaidi like for like, we don't need another footballing CB and Seaborne/Martin are not aggressive enough.

Saint_Lard AKA Alan Pardew

For perennial relegation favourites yes

Meh Not the first time we have not agreed, and won't be the last, which is good and what football and a forum is about (you are wrong though ) Pace isn't everything or else Jono quick will be our main man. FWIW btw, I don't see how Antonio is any different out wide to Forte, neither appear to have any technical ability with a football.

Probably about 8th, Guly player of the season. Barnard top goal scorer (if he avoids jail). Would love it if we reached the playoffs though.

Come on Turks stop stiring the mongs up.

I have been saying that for a while. The championship is a lot more open and football playing league, one that I think Schniederlin, Guly, Lallana will thrive in. Unfortunately I see hammond having a shocker.

Busy striker with an eye for goal, given a run in the team and up his confidence I think he could be a decent front man, certainly to the level of Billy Sharpe, I must admit I was never overawed with the Billy rumour apart from the fact that it was a decent sign of intent. We don't need sniffers (BS) or busy men (CMS) as we already have that angle covered. We need pace to add a different dimension, perhaps Adkins has worked on Forte ?? I don't know. As for Connolly he is past it for me, his movement is top class though, he really has a real footballers brain, something that hopefully he can teach to Barnard.

This He had a decent season with us at a time when we were not overly blessed with wide men and were starting afresh to build a new team. We now have Lallana, Oxo, Chappers, Dickson, Holmes, Mills, Guly, Forte, Puncheon. What would the point be of having yet another wide man ? And especially now Adkins is starting to move away from Pardews kick and run football (not all that egotistical pr*cks fault but a sign of the lack of quality we had) and more a technical game then how would a player that technically was not all that (couldn't control, cross or pass very well) fit in ?? Antonio had a decent run with us and a decent cup final, but I never saw a player with any real potential, I said long ago he would never set foot in the prem and would be a lower league CCC player. I see no evidence that I will be wrong.

Macheda is not an option

Calm down darling, I'll chuck you a fiver

If sfc doesn't you have 2nd dibs

Behave, best midfielder we have

10er to any charity you wish he doesn't score more than 15 this year

Don't be so fecking stupid boy, there is no way he could adapt to the championship. Connolly would easily outscore him.
