And Its Smith Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Saw Pulis being interviewed after the WBA game tonight where he mentioned that several players would probably be leaving the club. Anyone there who we should be looking at, realistically? With the number of strikers they have now I can't see how they need Anichebe on their books. Probably unrealistic for us though.

Aaron-Bcfc Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 With the number of strikers they have now I can't see how they need Anichebe on their books. Probably unrealistic for us though. Very good shout. He's never quite cut it in the Premier League, but I suspect he would be great at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxo Jr. Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Anichebe will be at a Premier League club this season - if not at West Brom then he'd do well at a promoted club. Far too good for Championship level, and if he dropped a league he'd be snapped up by a Hull or a QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too good for Championship level, and if he dropped a league he'd be snapped up by a Hull or a QPR. I agree Hull or QPR would be the most likely destination, but even though I think he'd do well in the Championship I wouldn't say he's 'far too good' for it. Looking on his wiki his record is worse than I thought. In 9 premier league seasons the most goals he's ever scored was 6. Overall 165 games 22 goals.

formerly known as ivan Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hope Akpan being linked to Blackburn. Only 23 years old and a strong holding midfielder. People say about locations so seeing as he is currently at Reading maybe that could work in our favour. Would like to think we have at least enquired about him.

Lrrr Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Bradshaw has to be worth a punt imo, couple of goals against Forest tonight, won't get the inflated prices we're seeing for championship or higher players.

Robin Ashton Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Don't get this obsession some have with wanting to buy league 1 players. We had the best league 1 players and they got us out of league 1. We don't need more league 1 players unless the aim is to get back in league 1.

Guest Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Well, then we must already be guaranteed promotion to the premier league by your reckoning. He said nothing of the sort. What he actually suggested was just simply giving the players a licence to show what they can do in this division and also the best of their peers last season. As said it worked for Bournemouth, it did Soton too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman Mao Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 good league one players to improve the squad and first team, as bradshaw and dack will do imo are much cheaper than the likes of gayle (probably 1/2 million for either if not both) and will do a very good job might take some time to bed in which is why you sign some decent championship heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs4Red Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I cannot believe we haven't raided sides in League one, the likes of Byrne and Kasim at Swindon and Bradshaw at Walsall, Moncur at Colchester and thats just the beginning. Feel a centre back and central midfielder are imperative at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPR with all their money still went shopping in League One - Luongo and JET for starters and even just last summer when we were in League One and had the stand out striker we sold him to a Championship side.

QPR haven't just added to a team of L1 players with more signings from L1 though, have they? Which is what some seem to be advocating. And Baldock scored 3 league goals, and Brighton finished 20th.

We have a bunch of players who last year proved themselves better than league one and earned for themselves and the club Championship status, or are we to ignore the purpose behind promotion and relegation? All that I would advocate is buying based solely upon ability irrespective of the division they currently or most recently played in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that I would advocate is buying based solely upon ability irrespective of the division they currently or most recently played in. I did originally say we had the best L1 players that got us out of that division. I just think that at this time we shouldn't be looking to add more players from L1, even if they are the best of the rest, otherwise we'll end up with a L1 side (albeit a very good L1 side) but not a side capable of challenging in the championship.

But surely that just goes to demonstrate that we'd struggle to get the best L1 players anyway. Plus (and I think this is a big part of the strategy), the Dacks, Bradshaws, Morsys and Hendersons (to name 4 from here) are still available, will be match fit and will be attainable relatively quickly, so it's not ideal but it doesn't rule anything out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
