DelliottBcfc21 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Not too sure if he's been mentioned, but how about Paul Scharner. Not triggered a clause in his contract to grant him another year. He's versitile and always looks very intimidating in the air at both boxes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jock Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Stevenage left back Scott Laird has reportedly signed a pre contract agreement with another club. Local lad, and his dad manages Weston. Surprised if we haven't even looked. Dundee United left back Paul Dixon has confirmed he is leaving the club and wants a move to England. Dixon was quality in the recent 1 0 win over Celtic.He was up and down the flanks all day long.And defended really well when he needed to.He never put a foot wrong for the full 90 mins.City would do well to land him.I would be happy to have him at Rangers.If we are still alive next year.He is a really good crosser off the ball.The delivery that he has,is worth 7 or 8 goals a season I think to any team.The guys been over looked for Scotland,in favour off Wallace and Mulgrew.

Brizzle Jordan Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 “There is a big wish-list of targets drawn up. You don’t always get everyone you want, but we’ll work our way through the list and, hopefully, get in two or three that we really want during the summer. I think we could need more than 3 Del! I personally think we need 6. GK, CB, LB, CM, LW, ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizzle Jordan Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I think he meant that those '2 or 3' are the definate signings we need to make i.e. LB CB CM. The others aren't probably first priority for Del, but I would like to see a GK and a CF. Looking at the Evening Post from a few days back it says Del is targeting a GK, CB, LB, Creative centre midfielder and a Striker. That's all the area's I hope we strengthen in apart from left wing. Not bad! "It is a very important close season for us and the recruitment of good players is going to be vital to us. I want to get a really competitive squad that can go and challenge'' That sentence excites me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizzle Jordan Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Neither are totally implausible are they? I wouldn't be dissapointed if either of those came true, would give us a nice bit of cash to play with for 2 players who haven't been massive for us this season.

Notice how we aren't hearing the usual rhetoric about going for promotion next season, it's simply about progressing and not being involved in a battle at the bottom again even though the squad situation does gives us a decent opportunity to target the top half. Likewise with transfers, he'll publicly state 2 or 3 rather than 6 or 7 so that if he can only bring in 4 or 5 people aren't immediately disappointed.

Considering we bought him for 800k and we aren't going to get a better Championship striker around for less than that price, no. We're also lacking on strikers enough as it is.

BCFC Jordan Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 How do you know this? There are gems out there. They may be out there and if so, I'd much prefer we signed them with Brett at the club, rather than being left with only Jon Stead and an unproven Ryan Taylor as our options.

I don't see Brett getting much game time next year as Del will more than likely bring in a first-choice partner for Stead. Brett wont want to sit on the bench all season again, not a chance.

del ete Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Thing is mcmanus is in contract? any idea if/what the fee is? Im never one for paying anything for players of that age with no resale value. The artist formally known as Bikey is on a free and younger. Stats can be misleading but we conceeded far less and had much better results with bikey in the team....
