gurujuan Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 That's actually a great shout, but I guess if he leaves sporting it will be to someone like Everton or Southampton He's a great little player but there are players at Sporting who would suit our needs even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nethertonowl Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Centre half & big, mobile striker needed James Chester & Daryl Murphy More realistic options Aden Flint & Chris O'Grady Flint & O`Grady.

Dave DJ Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 They wouldn't be able to pay his wages under that embargoIf they swapped him for Lansbury they probably would, as long as the incoming player is worth the same or less and is being paid the same or less then they can make transfers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingOwl Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Can't imagine they'd let him go that cheaply, he signed for about £3 million and I'd imagine they'd want that fee back They may not object to a 6 month loan though, and we could do a heck of a lot worse... Did suggest a loan deal in the summer. Would be a good understudy to Fernando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Did suggest a loan deal in the summer. Would be a good understudy to Fernando. I can't see the point of signing someone as understudy Signing players who are back ups, well it just sends you backwards in the long term The way to go is to sign players who are at least as good as, or better than what we have 2 players in every position who can hold down a first team spot is the way forward Mattaius may yet come good and fight Forestierri for the same position We need to find competition for everyone else in the team Our next signing should be someone who can fight Wallace for his place We then need to look at finding another defensive midfielder who can fight Hutch for a shirt Another centre half to partner Lees, and a better version of Nuhiu, and we are going places Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

I do prefer him on the wing, so you'd be right with Matias being Forestieri's replacement if needed. But if he's viewed as a second striker, a number 10..a CAM....whatever you want to call it. We don't have anyone like him in the squad. The hope was McGugan would be that man, but clearly he himself thinks otherwise. If Fernando is viewed as the latter...I think we need someone else in. Otherwise, if the worst happens and we lose FF, we lose a massive part of our creative spark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Carlos likes his players to be all energy McGugan is a good player, but he's not all energy like Bannan, Lee or Hutch I can see Carlos moving him on.

themaskedowl Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I'm conflicted on McGugan. He was so good for us last season and deserved his place in the squad this season. However, it does appear that he's not going to get anything but the merest sniff of game time so may be best for both him and the club to arrange a move. Would be a fantastic signing for Huddersfield, though can't help but feel it would be a step down for Lewis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Would love us to get Craig Noone or Alan Judge but its unlikely either would be sold to play off chasing rivals. Our best bet is raiding the transfer embargoed teams or lower half teams at this level and perhaps bringing in someone on loan from the top flight. If McGugan goes to Huddersfield, how about as part of a deal for Nahki Wells or stealing Emyr Huws? Both are quality and what we need. If we can't get Bamford on loan, how about Dwight Gayle if available? We should try and get someone like Henri Lansbury, Josh Vela or Zach Clough and hopefully a partner for Tom Lees from somewhere, perhaps someone like Matt Mills or Michael Mannciene? Plus extend Hooper or buy him, and make Pudil and Hunt permanent deals and get the likes of Bannan on longer deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Ross McCormack to Bournemouth? Fraizer Campbell or Dwight Gayle could be available? Either of those two would fit in well or go after someone like Nahki Wells. Romaine Sawyers and Jordan Graham are exciting wingers worth considering or someone like Zach Clough or Jonny Williams?

Do you rate Romaine Sawyers or are there some other gems worth unearthing from lower league or lower down the division, that we should go for?

The 24-year-old had signed for Barcelona B on Monday afternoon, only for his deal to be officially cancelled by the evening. The club took issue with a series of offensive tweets posted by the 24-year-old in the past, in which he insulted Barcelona and Catalonia. +3 The new signing, brought in for the Barcelona B side, had posted 'Hala Madrid', declaring his support for the club's arch-rival and Clasico opponents Real Madrid. A number of anti-Catalonian posts were also found on the social media site from October 2013. Among the offensive tweets was a message that called another user a 'Catalonian wh***'. Previous Speaking to Spanish radio station Cope on Monday night, Guardiola - no relation to former Barcelona manager Pep - defended himself and insisted he he had no knowledge of the tweets, claiming they were sent by a friend. 'I know I made a mistake. I apologize to Catalonia and Barcelona. I understand the decision, I'd do the same.
