Lighthouse Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 Can we make this sticky please mods? I'll get the ball rolling with: James Beattie - Gets a mention EVERY window since he left. Give him a year on sensible wages. Maybe he will flop, but so might anyone. David Nugent - On a free from Pompey. Offer him a sensible CCC wage (10kpw tops). Doubt many clubs would better that and he wouldn't have to move house. Taijo Teniste - Plays for Levadia Tallinn. Doubt any of you have heard of him, but I saw him play in March and he looked useful. 23 left winger, Holmes replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obvious one is CMS, would love to see Jimmy Bullard (was on Soccer AM saying how he would maybe take a paycut to go to Ipswich - not sure if we could afford his wages but reckon he could offer what we need in midfield), we desparately need 1 Championship quality centre back, a quick right winger if OC goes (don't believe it is as cut and dried as many reckon on here). Need some added creativity to take the burden off Adam, Neil Danns, Howard, Pilkington. Would love to see 2 high profile signings to show we mean business, really interesting Summer ahead. Hopefully get somebody with pace as well! Couple of things will be shown this summer I reckon. 1) Can Adkins attract the top quality players? Not a dig at him at all, done a fantastic job, would love him to stay for years but the only thing he hasn't really proved yet is his business in the transfer market. 2) Is the money to pay for them there? Absolutely buzzing at the moment. Exciting few years ahead I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Saints Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 Go back in for Mackail Smith. A commanding centre half to play next to Fonte. A couple of wide players (Lallana can't do it all himself and assuming Chamberlain will be off). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WATERSIDEIFASAINT Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 Dale Jennings from Tranmere who is highly rated Neil Danns hasn't signed a new contract at Palace yet .Is he good enough for our ambitions.

petermcpete Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 Think Matt Phillips would be realistic?

aintforever Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 I don't actually think we need that many players. I would replace Jaidi, and replace N'Guessan and Forte with two quality attacking players.

Scoobysaint Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 I think it all depends on AOC. If he goes then I expect a number of new signings as we will have significant funds to blow. I would like Mackail-Smith as an option up front and probably another cb to team up with Fonte. Genuinely don't think we need that much really to be up and around the playoffs. I don't recall Norwich revamping their whole squad after promotion last year. After the run of results we have had I think we need to be more focussed on keeping this team together.

Give him a year on sensible wages. Maybe he will flop, but so might anyone. D Does it bother you a little bit ...that Beattie was 33 in February...? I'm not against older players per se..I think Connolly has real class, but JB has done nothing of note with any club since he left SMS. Old Lang Syne and all that, but I really not sure about that one. David Nugent - On a free from Pompey. Offer him a sensible CCC wage (10kpw tops). Doubt many clubs would better that and he wouldn't have to move house. Nearly every report I've read about him seems to suggest he is an embarrasment at FP and they couldn't get rid of him because of his huge salary and lack of goals ! Taijo Teniste - Plays for Levadia Tallinn. Doubt any of you have heard of him, but I saw him play in March and he looked useful. 23 left winger, Holmes replacement.

Lighthouse Posted 2 May, 2011 Author Share Posted 2 May, 2011 I'd like to see Holmes play for a season before we consider getting rid of hm. Holmes has been crocked for 3 years, what makes you think he'd change now. Nugent has 13 goals this season, which is probably the same as Lambert from open play. Plus he has done it playing for a worse team at a higher level, making his job all the more difficult. Beattie may not have done much since leaving, but that doesn't mean he can't come back and DAJFU. Just look at Skacel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints Mad Si Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 Could see Wade Elliott wanting to come as he is a massive Saints fan and would jump at the chance of coming also with a lot of experience would be a cracking signing IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 Beattie may not have done much since leaving, but that doesn't mean he can't come back and DAJFU. Just look at Skacel. He's 33, big wage, big ego, never really had any pace and hasn't scored a goal for ages. Not really a lot going for him imho. Love what he did for Saints earlier in his career, but i don't think players should ever really "go back" unless they have so much kudos they can carry it off (e.g. Dalglish).

doggface Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 4 players of real quality and pace will compliment some very talented players we have.

SuperSAINT Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 Could certainly see us renewing our interest in CMS. He's leaving P'boro no matter what. I'd like us to sign Danns, just so I can shut up about it. Scott Sinclair or Pratley would be absolutely outstanding signings. Has Andrew Davies remained fit?

Special K Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 (edited) Anyone at the game today rate Bolaise for the Pilgrims as a candidate? Also, what about Ben Haim from the blue few? Better than Jaidi? Edited 2 May, 2011 by Special K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 2 May, 2011 Author Share Posted 2 May, 2011 Has Andrew Davies remained fit? 9 appearances in each of the last 2 seasons and 8 the year before that. No in other words. We should stay clear of players who just aren't fit. That includes Davies, Connolly and Holmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntingdon Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 No doubt we'll get some ludicrous suggestions on here If we lose Chamberlain to Arsenal then getting a season long loan in return is a possibilty, though Ryo Miyaichi is out of the question. He's currently on loan at Feyenoord, so sending him to the NPC is a step backwards, Wenger wouldn't have that. Who knows, we might even get Chamberlain himself back CMS almost joined Norwich a few weeks back, so if they go up and remain interested, we've no chance BT is a good shout, but from what I've seen this season he looks totally past it I understand Middlesbrough are looking to offload some high earners, so I wouldn't be surprised if Scott McDonald could be a target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
