Reto Ziegler (31 years) is also available on a free, left footed CB, used to play for Juventus and Fenerbache, capped 35 times by Switzerland I remember him at Spurs, wasn't he a left back then?

Also, he is terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malek Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) Duje Ćaleta Car at RB Salzburg is a 20 year old CB who has plenty of experience for his age. Powerfull, quick, left footed and decent with ball at his feet. Wouldn't mind to see us testing Salburg's resolve to keep him.

Bing Cosby Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 17 minutes ago, gurujuan said: What I'm also not a fan of, is waiting until the end of the window, and then signing players for the sake of it Waiting for a top class signing is fine by me though One thing, there's already been some top signings by championship clubs, so it's not a case of none being available Anyway, I'm still optimistic that we'll get a couple in today One thing that is undeniable, is that our preference to wait towards the end of the window and Carlos' desire to fully integrate new signings to his way of playing are inherently incompatible.

Bluesteel Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I have a good feeling that if Power signed he'd do ok, just adds some forward running in that midfield. Wouldn't cost much and had a healthy goals and assist record before last season. Potential there for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyblack Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 If we wanted to add another to our packed midfield Joe Ledley is available on a free as well, only 30. Decent player at this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent player at this level If we need to do it on the cheap, Ledley fits the bill, especially if Hutch is to be considered more a defender He would bring strength and leadership to the midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vella shares many qualities with Lee. Not as good, but could get there. Yes he looks a good player When we were signing players left right and centre, he was just the sort of player we should have signed Back up players needed to be players who were able to push those who were in possession, but had room to improve We didn't need thirtysomething back up players Now though, with only 2 or 3 signings planned, I feel we have to be looking at starting eleven players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcityowlsfan Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 There's no one perfect signing for us on here. He's either rubbish, too old, too young, too injured, too slow, too cheap, too expensive or too late he's signed for Derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
