Yup, some good ones on there. Just hope we have enough and good enough scouts to get the info we need on them, although I reckon AP is pretty well connected and should be able to get info on most people he is interested in.

 

Just like Football Manager - even has the search facility to narrow your results down!

I'd just like to say Keith Gillespie hasn't been any good since about 2001 and nor has Michael Bridges.

 

I saw Michael Ricketts was having some trial somewhere at our level too, there's another one I wouldn't touch with a 50ft pole.

Some experienced players in that list that I feel would add to the team. Bring in a couple with experience like Ivan Campo and David Connolly.

 

I suggested Ivan Campo as player/asst manager yesterday or the day before and some people poo pooed me. With the Swiss connection I am sure he will be interested and is just the sort of fella we need to drag us back into the CCC and allow us to build for the Prem.

 

What strikes me from the lists people are posting are how unrealisitic some of the players suggested are. Do people not realise that we are a L1 team with -10 points? Some of the suggested signings border on the ridiculous and people need to take a long hard look at themselves.

Surely young players rejected by top clubs are worth a trial? Antonio Bryan, Godwin Antwi etc.. They must have shown some raw talent at some stage, and could find their feet in league one.

 

Antonio Bryan was quality for my mate in the Blue Square South / Premier on FM2008! :D

Ugo Ehiogu, Jonathan Fortune, Jaidi, Hoefkens, Pamarot all worth a shout for CB.

 

Volz, Zheng Zi, Ryan France, John Oster, Julian Gray, Mifsud, Vassell might come with some persuasion.

 

Vassell joined a Turkish side yesterday, would have never came to us anyway!

 

Pretty sure John Oster is up on a rape charge or something.

Not that i know anything about him, but Chinese captain Zheng Zhi played a lot of games under Pardew, he's available on a free as well.

 

Excellent player but refused to sign a new contract due to the drop in division. In fact, gave the impression that the championship was below him.

From those players I would be interested in:

 

- Phillipe Appiah (CB - 19)

- Michael Ball (LB - 29) - although we have only just signed one

- Eugene Bopp (CM- 25)

- Dean Bowditch (CF - 23)

- Michael Bridges (CF - 30)

- Antonio Byran (CF - 19 - just released from Man U so muct have had something about him)

- Simon Dawkins (CF - 19 - just released from Tottenham)

- Fabio Ferreira (RM - 19 - just released from Chelsea)

- Rui Fonte (CF - 19 - just released from arsenal)

- Julian Gray (LM)

 

And thats only going through half the list - can see why AP thinks there are some gems there!

Didn't Ricketts have a trial with us the season before last? Think we preferred Vincent Pericard over him :-)

Noe Pamarot would be a good call at RB, has some class. I'm pretty sure we almost signed him a couple of years ago, but he choose to go to Spurs.

 

Guessing that and the Portsmouth connection would make him somewhat suspect. Also would he come here..........probably not..........talked myself out of it.......terrible idea.......what was I thinking!

What we have to remember is were not the only club who needs players! Players such as Didi Hamann, why would he come here?? As a previous poster said why not look at the younger players released by higher league clubs. Add in sone experience we could have the makings of a good, solid league 1 side IMHO

Agreed about Gillespie. But disagree about Bridges. He has been excellent for Carlisle during his time there, creating goals, scoring out of nothing, but he does have a questionable injury record.

They didn't rate him much last season, spent most of the time on the bench and apart from the odd game where he scored, didn't do much else....he's got no pace anymore, plus, he's on trial at Norwich.
