dragonreds Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 You put it more eloquently and succinctly than I Thanks I picked up Wigan chairman Dave Whelan last year and mentioned it on here. The amount of abuse i got was incredible. Sometimes people forget we have other football interests apart from the City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh93 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Id save the money as we could sign players on a free transfer that could easily improve our squad for the positions you've said Players for free transfer: RB Gianni Zuiverloon Pascal Chimbonda Stuart Parnaby CB Abdoulaye Meite Ibrahima Sonko Anthony Gardner LB Ricardo Gardner J-Lloyd Samuel David Carney Stephen Crainey CM Lee Bowyer David Norris Neil Kilkenny Andy Reid Tamir Cohen Daniel De Ridder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifty Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I'd spend all 2.3m on Nathanial Clyne at Palace. Under-rated Premier League class right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Downs Leeds Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I would look to invest in Jordi Gomez at Wigan as my creative midfield player. Was always very impressed when he was at Swansea. Also a great set piece taker which we so badly need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Tansley Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Id save the money as we could sign players on a free transfer that could easily improve our squad for the positions you've said Players for free transfer: RB Gianni Zuiverloon Pascal Chimbonda Stuart Parnaby CB Abdoulaye Meite Ibrahima Sonko Anthony Gardner LB Ricardo Gardner J-Lloyd Samuel David Carney Stephen Crainey CM Lee Bowyer David Norris Neil Kilkenny Andy Reid Tamir Cohen Daniel De Ridder Though a game of opinions I'd only be interested in about 3? of them. Zuiverloon, Kilkenny and Cohen. My own personal answer to the original post... I'd be looking at a few loans from the Prem first and foremost, If Liverpool are interested in a link then Flanagan (Right back) Pacheco (Attacking Midfield/Striker) and Michael N'goo (Striker, big lad and good target man to replace the outgoing Clarkson ) And for the pedants who will cite FM as my source, LFCTV is free to Skysports subscribers and I've watched plenty of youth and reserve football this year as well as seeing the first two play first team football for Liverpool and Norwich respectively. From the free transfers listed above, I've already stated the three who would interest me, Cohen would be the one I'd prefer the most, seems a good passer and a good all round midfielder, So if wages weren't too substantial he'd be the guy I'd look to. I'd be tempted to spend big on a centre half. Who is a much more difficult question... Caulker is of course fresh in all our minds and if Tottenham thought £2.3m plus a number of add ons was enough, I'd blow the entire budget on him. If not big money bids for Matt Mills (Reading, Highly unlikely I know) or Ryan Shotton (Stoke City) Finally I'd be scouting the world, anywhere and everywhere, for a left back. I really couldn't name one either, but we need one for sure. If I struggled to find one then Nyatanga would retain his place there with Macca backing up. Team; James Nyatanga/newsigning Caulker/Mills/Shotton Fontaine/Wilson Flanagan/Ribs Cissé/Elliot/Skuse Adomah/Bolasie Cohen/Pacheco JCR/Woolford Stead/Pitman Maynard/N'goo at least two playkers per position, Sell, Release, Loan out and move on the dead wood who aren't mentioned.

miketh2nd Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Anthony Pilkington £800k Danny Ward £Loan Akos Buzsaky £250k Joe Mattock £300k Sean St Ledger £Free think Pilkington(obviously doesn't play for port vale...) could be worth going for otherwise I'd be very tempted to go for Bournemouths Marc Pugh although since Bradbury came in has only came on as a sub I've noticed unless recovering from injury may be easier to buy. If we could buy Spence or get another years loan that is RB or CB sorted!(be silly not to at least try).Then maybe sneakily stealing Blackpool's Neal Eardley and Stephen Crainey, says Eardley is out of contract somewhere but could be wrong but can see them tempted now they are back in the championship and we lured Stead and Pitman with better wages ?

chipdawg Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Pilkington plays for Huddersfield doesn't he?! I think he also broke his leg in march and is primarily a left winger- something we have a surplus of after bolasie signed. Very good player mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westred1 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Rb - Zuiverloon CB - Turner (Coventry) LB - Bennett CM - Bowyer I met Ben Turner before with a friend I met on holiday and he seems like a decent guy and he's a decent CB! Didnt seem keen when I suggested coming to us! He wants to go to Brum as he's a blue through and through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Whilst I hope you're joking, DR means, Defender, right sided. And DL means... Well yeah you get the drift. CB means centre back, and CM means central midfield Well done. By the way i'm being sarcastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
