gurujuan Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Loovens has shown that he is still class however we do need to improve on defending from corners and free kicks, always have my heart in my mouth when the opposition are taking corners. A lot of that has to do with disparity in size between the opposition attackers, and our players whose job it is to defend. You can see it clearly, our 2 or 3 big lads are often trying to pick up 5 or 6 opponents of a similar size. Even wonderful footballing sides like Barcelona would look shaky at set plays because they couldn't match other sides who had a height advantage.

Guest _Ibbo_ Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Connor Wickham..... Would be a perfect signing for us.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Not a direct replacement for Loovens, Ekstrand is all right foot, so would more likely be back up for Lees Ekstrand won't be back up for anybody in the championship - was a regular (until injury) in a team that made pretty short work of this division. Remember Pudil wasn't even getting in their squad by the end of the season and FF was a bit part player He's a very good player and i believe he was offered a new deal by Watford but has opted to leave The only doubt is how well he returns after his injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysticOwl Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Do you think Kenwyne Jones is worth a look at? He is a free agent.In the right team he could get 10 plus goals a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never understood what people see in him, he's not what we need, that ship sailed a long time ago. Edited June 4, 2016 by ohgoditsjames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Lasse Sobiech, 6'6'' centre back for Hamburg St. Pauli. Consider it my random name of the day. Pauli will know more about him I'm sure but I'd be up for seeing him here Edited June 4, 2016 by StudentOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Just me hoping that he doesn't go for obscure foreigners then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaton_Swfc Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I'd like to throw another name into the ring: Jem Karacan ... Was well thought of at Reading before leaving for Galatasaray, however hasn't had a look in and went on loan to Bursaspor. Don't know his contract situation but would be a great shout imo.

Guest Moosedog Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Joel Ekstrand would be a great signing. Another ex Watford player. Bruno Manga would by my ideal centre back. Physical, pace and scores. Cardiff have already said they are willing to sell. Ekstrand has not played a competitive match in over a year, so would be a gamble. It does appear that Sampdoria are interested though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Just me hoping that he doesn't go for obscure foreigners then? I can't have any fun if I can't speculate about a random German! I'd expect one, maybe two foreign signings tops, hopefully one not so obscure... I imagine the majority will be UK based already. I actually hope so too! But until then, let me have my obscure foreign fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty like him, Ravel Morrison, Nick Powell that are class but have terrible attitude problems and would be destructive in my opinion. Not needed.

TheEnchanter Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Exactly. When someone has had that many chances with different managers it's clear their attitude will never change. I used to think that if the player was 'good' enough then we should just sign them bit it's clear from recent examples as Leicester, Burnley etc that 'team spirit' and the will to play for each other and the coach is a huge valuable asset. I'd argue we've definitely had that all season. Any player that is selfish and doesn't work for the team just shouldn't fit into what we are trying to build here.
