22A Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 I know he's only a League 2 player, but at Cambridge Luke Berry has scored 22 goals this season and only missed one League game. Many CUFC fans reckon he'll be snapped up by a higher club this Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, look no further than Eoin Doyle I guess (and to a certain extent, Adam Armstrong - I`d have snatched your hand off for him last season but the Barnsley fans on here say he`s been pony for them). Still, you dont know till you try I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a gamble, but for a free it's a fairly minor one. While you're right in that calibre of manager that has tried and failed, I think our young players and the likes of Wilbrahim would be fantastic in ensuring that he settles into the area, and leaves his past behind him. Not to say that Tammy was a tearaway teen, but he's gone from second best youth prospect for Chelsea to leading Championship goalscorer under us, so I'd have a bit more faith in what we could do for other troubled stars.

Nice thought and undoubted bags of talent but Morrison is virtually uncontrollable , had a chance for a new career abroad and blew that too - He's right up,there at the top of the list of players with awaful attitudes , commitment and professionalism Rather than our young players helping him , he'd far more likely to be a real problem , a big distraction and a terrible example to our own As much as it's a nice thought I'd seriously put the odds of him being any form of success at a club , and in this instance ours at something like 100/1 To even mention Tammy in the same breath is sacrilige !!! They are literally at the polar opposites in the scale of attitude , enthusiasm , commitment and professionalism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammy already had it all before he came to us. We gave him a great platform to launch a mega-bucks career (hopefully) but you can tell he's been brought up the right way! I'm just relieved we didn't ruin him!! For those suggesting Sam Baldock, he singlehandedly gave the Championship to Newcastle with missed goal scoring opportunities at the weekend. Never look back.

He's fantastic on a good day, and with the right coaching he could be a solid forward. The top of my list would be Ravel Morrison. He might have a troubled past, but he's shown Premier League quality, and we'd probably be able to land him on a free. If LJ can get the best out of him we'll have someone that can legitimately pull the strings against any Championship opposition. nick powell is a pisshead talking to some crewe lads a while back thats why he never kicked on at man unt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not sure if injured) In my opinion we have 2 of the worst keepers in the league. RB - As already said Darikwa or McLaughlin. Both very good players and certainly an area to look at. CB - Dean at Brentford would be a massive one for me and I think Hordur has a part to play next season. I have stated I think nothing of BW and we must replace him. CM - Important to keep hold of MP who has been exceptionally for the past 10 games IMO. Also think Loftus Cheek could be a loan shout with him in desperate need of games but possibly too good for us ST - I've said it around 10 times on this forum but Cyle Larin would be an unbelievable signing. Banging goals in for Orlando, he's quick, strong and his finishing is great. Closer to home I'd say Baldock would be a reasonable shout or a loan bid for Dom Solanke seeing as Chelsea are so impressed with what we've done with Tammy A good starting point. Got to accept that I'm not as up to date as some of you, especially you Football Managers too. Probably got some pre-conceived opinions too that biases my thinking, so happy for plenty of disagreement. Nor have I got time to investigate the contract status....apologies for my tardiness! GK - I'd take what we've got. Frank, Ivan, Max and Jo-Jo. Admittedly if someone of the quality of Ruddy (or that ilk) was within our reach, I'd say go for it. RB - think most of us plump for the same two. Like the athleticism of Darikwa....McLaughlin a steady eddie at Champ level I reckon. The other name touted is Christie. No arguments with any of these names. LB - I've always like Bidwell, QPR, Ex-Brentford. Think he'd fit in well. Can do the defensive work and confident on the ball. CB - let's assume Flint goes. I'm not of the opinion that we have to get a like for like replacement, but I'd like to see BW and HM as well as TM alongside either. Not saying that would be my ideal pairing and we don't need another CB, but I would really like to see us bring in a quick'un. How many times did we hear on Sky that LJ likes a 45 yard gap from back to back. If we want to press then that needs to be closed. A quick CB would allow us to press further up. Think Des Walker....but I've no idea who a Champ equivalent is. TM has pace, hence I'd be keen to see him. CM - Scowen mentioned several times. I'd like a big'un in there, not for all games, but those where we need physicality. Pack has been very consistent and Smith was written off too soon by too many...but we need to be harder in there. I look at Danny Williams and Dale Stephens as the benchmark, need to find similar to these. SC - Gallagher, yep, but what does that mean for Djuric?

After watching Taylor Moore get bullied by Luke Varney in the 23s I thought he was a long way from our 1st team. Very impressed with some of our 23s that I've watched this season.

I really don't rate Wright which is strange because he plays the way I do as a CB, would rather keep flint out of the two.
