shez owl Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 We need to be dynamic and have players who can turn all them draws into wins, I'd be disappointed if we go for steady solid champ players tbh I think we have them already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as you rightly said with no loan market next season , should one of them get injured or suspended we would be short in that area. clubs are going to have to carry bigger squads next season with the new rules on short term loans. Agree, its gunna cpst alot to get better players than we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lom Tees Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 On a more serious note, sign Jake Bidwell at left back please carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 So Nicko's tips, Adam Reach and Adam Forshaw, both on season long loans from Boro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I think both would make decent squad players, but I'd like to see a bit more quality when it comes to strengthening the starting eleven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coyt Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Kevin McDonald from Wolves would be a decent addition even though he's an ex pig or Cole Skuse at Ipswich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigash_swfc Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Billy Jones RB Joey O'Brien LB Both would be improvements on what we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 So, if Nicko has called all these right and our signings were, left back Pudil, centre back Hanley £5m, striker Fletcher FREE and midfield and winger Forshaw and Reach both loans Do people think that, that would be the sort of business that would get us an automatic?

gurujuan Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I guess, if they all got a starting berth, we might line up something like this Westwood Hunt Pudil Lees Hanley Bannan Reach Forshaw Fletcher Hooper Forestieri Perhaps, not quite what we wanted, but none too shabby either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who then hoof it Skuse is a major part of that problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixed emotions on that lot. Pudil, yes. Fletcher, yes. Reach and Forshaw on loan? Decent players...top 2 calibre? Not sure. Biggest outlay on a CB, given our defensive record these past two seasons? ..a little strange. Haven't seen the article. Are the loans with a view to permanent?

Only saw the headlines, so not sure. I know what you mean, I can't argue with any of those signings, but none are the wow signings that Nicko originally suggested. They all tie in with the Carlos quote, that it will be evolution, rather than revolution, and they address the five positions we need. Hanley, Fletcher and Reach add height, and the latter also adds pace. If this is accurate, then I think we will have improved the squad, and addressed problem areas, and all for about £6m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 So Nixon thinks we're not gonna go for it this summer or go for top two and we're gonna spend more on defence than attack? Nixon doesn't seem very clued up at all and probably knows as little about DC and CC's transfer activity as we do. Naff all. In fact, Newcastle are in the running to get Hanley and stand more chance of signing him. And if we're going to challenge top two then its midfield and attack that need addressing and where money needs to be spent in order to compete with the likes of the relegated sides and Derby.
