lee_saint Posted 24 April, 2009 Share Posted 24 April, 2009 ....League One starts now, so what do you think the team will look like next season? For some reason I can see Davis and Euell staying, I think Thomas will play a more important role too. I just hope that we don't buy complete tosh though, and we buy players who can do it at this level, maybe even take a gamble of some non-league players. I, for one think we'll be alright and looking forward to the new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, for one think we'll be alright and looking forward to the new season. If we can keep our back line excluding Skacel that would be a good start. Would quite like to keep Surman if possible, he has had bad form of late but is a quality player when on form. Get rid of every other first team player and also give the likes of White, Gobern and Thomson a chance. Buy a load of new midfielders if we have som money to spend and a couple of new strikers (one with pace and one built like a brick ****house.) That would do me and I think we would have a great chance of doing well. Big IF though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 24 April, 2009 Share Posted 24 April, 2009 Something like: Davis © James Thomas Perry Mills Thomson Wotton Gillett Holmes Paterson McGoldrick Subs: Forecast, Lancashire, White, Gobern and McLaggon Dont think that's a terrible team really, with a couple of loans we could have a decent enough side with the right manager. If we did have any money available from sales a creative midfielder and a striker would be top priority. Would be quite happy to see Surman, Lallana, Bialkowski and Schneiderlin sold with BWP, Skacel and Euell released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Saeijs on solent this morning saying that his loan ends end of the season and didn`t seem to be hinting at staying although he did say alot of plays want to stay !

Viking Warrior Posted 24 April, 2009 Share Posted 24 April, 2009 I want wotte to put out the strongest team tomorrow , I would rather we get the 10 pts this season not next. I don't care if certain players are not here next season but tomorrows team is mega important, We need to win. lets worry about next season later. If we win tomorrow and the other results go for us then with luck we will start on a level playing field with the rest of div 1/ Playing catch up will not be good especially with charlton also there. Oh and shut the **** up crouch. PS I have had a few sherberts this evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 24 April, 2009 Share Posted 24 April, 2009 --------------???-------------- ????----Perry----Thomas------Mills Thomson----James---Gillet-----Holmes --------McG-------????? Might look something like that I reckon (although I imagine there will be interest in McGoldrick). I think McClaggon will get plenty of opportunities. TBH, until we know the scale of the owner's (assuming there is one) ambitions it's hard to say, but that team with the addition of a couple of experienced players would do ok IMO.

niceandfriendly Posted 24 April, 2009 Share Posted 24 April, 2009 Gillett. Build the team around that little man and we won't go far wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMPR Posted 24 April, 2009 Share Posted 24 April, 2009 Greatest of respect but you will need to go more direct to get out of League One. I would try and get Howard from Leicester to lead the line if he finds himself surplus in the Championship, I also suspect youll be able to get some good loans from Prem teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 24 April, 2009 Share Posted 24 April, 2009 Heard KD on solent earlier saying he hates the situation, because he wants to sort out his contrac as it ends this summer and his wife and kid(s) are settled here and want to stay!

Chez Posted 24 April, 2009 Share Posted 24 April, 2009 (edited) It all depends on how much money is available as to whether we can afford to keep Kelvin. The wage bill is going to have to come down massively and his 10k a week is a lot to find - far too much. Also we have far too many keepers on the books (Davis, forecast, Bart, Poke, and Pernecký) so someone has to go. Out of contract players are the easiest to offload, so unless we get a buyer for one of two of the others then Kelvin won't be offered a new deal. We are stuck with Perry as he played enough games to get another year. I'm far from convinced that that is good news but I know I might be in the minority there. I dread to think what his wages are. I bet they are a lot higher than people think. Hay ho. Saeijs is a must if we are to do anything, or we must find someone to replicate his strength, arial prowess and pace. That aint gonna be easy so he would be my choice if there is any funds available to pay a decent wage (assuming he demands one). We are stuck with Thomas. Going down a division will suit him as he is a poor CCC player IMO. Lancashire needs to toughen up otherwise he'll be bullied as badly in League 1 as he was in the CCC. Going down will do him a favour though as he was clearly not up to the task. Skacel has another year on his contract but perhaps even he will settle for less wages if it means he gets a new three year deal. Lets hope so. That will save us another 10k a week. As much as I think he has genuine quality that we desperately need, I won't miss his pathetic diving, poor body language, blaming everyone but himself and just do enough no more attitude. The question is will Mills sign for us or for Scunny? I think we made a major mistake in not playing him the whole season. Also given time will Molyneux prove me/us wrong. He looks a terrible signing so far but time is on his side. James needs to improve his heading and positional play. He's never going to be quick so we desperately need a quick centre back to help him and the rest of the back four. Thomas to provide cover perhaps? I've always seen James as a CM but with no other right backs I'm gonna have to get used to see him waddle no where near a byeline. Gillett is here to stay and thats good news. I contiually said we needed his `hussle'. He lacks quality, his first touch is poor and passing no better but we need bite with legs and Wotton only offers bite. Wotton desperately needs the drop down in league, but he will still be a very average player that is slow and can't pass. I don't see him ever getting us promoted. Gobern is the dark horse here. Out wide he looked lost and unsure, in the middle he looked like Carlton Palmer, and Carlton Palmer in League 1 is ****ing good! I'd get him in the side early doors if Gillett is not fit. Surman will leave. He's too good for League 1 no matter what the chumps say on here and his agent surely will step in and force the change. Lallana still needs games and his poor form might help keep him here. I have to say that I think he is top class and I suspect other managers will see that potential and make an offer we can't refuse. I'd build a side round him myself. I think he would be far better than McGoldrick in the hole. Lallana offers skills and heart - what more do you want. OK so he has not done it but it was his first full season and he will get better and better. Promise him the earth and make him stay. Commons gve Forest two years lets get the same from Adam. Where will Pulis play once recovers from the latest injury - any one out there know what he looks like, plays like etc? Dyer will leave for peanuts and we will all have to cross our fingers that he turns out to be a courtney pitt rather than a Rodney Wallace. Smith is painfully weak and I never wanted him here but who knows maybe they don't tackle in league 1! He can take Holmes with him for me. I am not a fan but he will obviously be here next year in nice white boots and socks that never get dirty ever. Still we need balance and his left foot is not bad I suppose (through gritted teeth). IMO Thomson is not good enough (yet) and won't be good enough next season either. McGlaggon has something about him, though I'm not sure if he is a winger or a striker. BWP, Euell and Stern won't get new deals and will leave on frees. That leaves us with McGoldrick - who I don't think clubs will be biting our hands off for if I'm honest, and Patterson - who I think will be a revelation for Saints. Saga looks like he will do anything to get out of here which will save us yet more big bucks. I've never been a fan but I will sure miss those scoring streaks, if I can remember them. Of course Rasiak might be back to bleed us dry. In fact we know he will be back for the entire summer before a CCC side takes him off our hands for nothing just as the window closes saing them a small fortune in wages. To progress as a club we need to sell him the day the window opens not the day it closes. £15k a week for 16 weeks will kill us and our chances. Forecast James Perry Saeijs Mills Lallana Gobern Gillet Holmes Patterson McClaggan On another day I'll tell you who we should look to sign but as I started of saying this will depend on monies available and if we can offload the likes of Rasiak/Saga/Skacel early.
