Eddie Hitler Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 There's a lot there we can forget about (Veron, Fowler), many I've never heard of, but there are some that sound well, possible. It would mean GJ has to overcome his big name player issue but how about:Lee HendrieDavid ThompsonKeith GillespieOut of contract, unlikely to get picked up by another premiership club so won't be expecting premiership wages. Obviously not all three but is our signing one of those really beyond the bounds of possibility?Arsenal Ryan Garry, Joseph O'Cearuill Aston Villa Mark Delaney, Lee Hendrie, Chris Sutton Blackburn Rovers Keith Barker, Michael Gray Bolton Wanderers Quinton Fortune, Henrik Pedersen, David Thompson Charlton Athletic Nathan Ashton, Rurik Gislason, Jimmy-Floyd Haselbaink, Talal El Karkouri, Kevin Lisbie, Thomas Mhyre, Alistair John, Myles Weston (Offered contract) James Walker Chelsea Magnus Hedman, Juan Sebastian Veron Everton Alan Kearney, Scott Phelan, Alessandro Pistone, Richard Wright Fulham Claus Jensen, Mark Pembridge, Tomasz Radzinski Liverpool Jerzy Dudek, Robbie Fowler, Boudewijn Zenden Manchester City Stephen Jordan, Trevor Sinclair, Hatem Trabelsi (Offered contract) Michael Ball, Nicky Weaver Manchester United Phil Marsh, Florent Ngalula, Daniel Rose Middlesbrough Malcolm Christie Newcastle United Olivier Bernard, Kris Gate, Craig Moore, Pavel Srnicek Portsmouth Daryl Fordyce, Nwankwo Kanu (Offered contract) Svetoslav Todorov Reading Jonathan Hayes (Offered contract) Aaron Brown, Simon Cox Sheffield United Paul Gerrard, Rob Kozluk, Craig Short, Alan Wright (Offered contract) James Ashmore, Keith Gillespie, Chris Lucketti Tottenham Hotspur Robert Burch Watford Joel Grant, Albert Jarrett, Chris Powell West Ham United Shaun Newton, Teddy Sheringham Wigan Athletic John Filan, David Unsworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Casual Connoisseur Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 WAGES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
court_bcfc Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 WAGES.Was thinking of posting that myself but seemed pretty self-explanatory, nevertheless all of the players may seem like good suggestions, but their wages will not be low thats for sure.

Redhyde Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Keith Gillespie, Rob Kozluk and Henrik Pederson, unless wages are prohibitive are the only names i can pick out of that who i'd actually want or feel we'd need.Florent Ngalula was going to be something special before he got crocked so it's sad to see he's been released.

Robbored Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Wages plus - why are they being let go? Past it or not good enough?As Toshack said recently 'there are Premiership players and players that play in the Premiership'That really is a top quote.

Henry Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Why would we want Keith Gillespie? We already have 3 right wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianred Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 If Chris Sutton is fit, at 34 he would bring good experience to squad, good target man. Experience is a must for us to consolidate ourselves in the Championship. again wages and getting on with GJ is a must. If we want experience we will have to pay for it.

Past it or not good enough?As Toshack said recently 'there are Premiership players and players that play in the Premiership'That really is a top quote.Wages - well Forest had Alan Wright on loan. Why does everybody assume that these players would have execssive wage demands and we, as a championship club, could not meet their expectations.They are being let go because they no longer can command a first team place at a premiership club. That doesn't mean they couldn't get into our side. We let players go for the same reason and they can be successful one league down.It seems that people are ruling these players out because they have played in the premiership; which is an odd position to take.

Come on guys, change the record!!What surprises me is that no-one has approached Robbie Fowler according to the BBC, I think the guy could do a great job in the CCC....more than Sutton (Celtic Scum) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan b.c.f.c Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 i would have kevin lisbie on trial hes a goalscorer and surely ready 4 a drop to the ccc, and he could be the quick goalscorer we need 2 stay up!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 WAGES.Robbie Fowler has stated no offers have been made to him. "If I get a club I do, if I don't, I don't".Premiership players maybe on high wages, but if City or any other Champ team was the only club to offer them a job, they'd have to take what was offered!

Big Red Rich Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Im pretty sure that Gillespie has signed a new 2 year deal. Sutton is ALWAYS injured.There is nobody on this list that I think we will a) sign or b) do well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on guys, change the record!!What surprises me is that no-one has approached Robbie Fowler according to the BBC, I think the guy could do a great job in the CCC....more than Sutton (Celtic Scum)intuatively, am against going for any players of this type. They're already in pretty much every case (possible exception of Sheffied United) very rich men, who have all sampled life in the top flight in some shape or form. Even if we get past wages issue (and they *will* be amongst our top earners, regardless of how well we negotiate), i don't think they're a great fit for the club - as the rest of the dressing room will be less wealthy, and I suspect more hungry to both get the money and the experience. should be treated on case by case basis - but GJ has worked wonders to turn our culture of overpaid underachievement around, and whilst there's no guarantee that signing players like these will regress that (or that younger less wealthy players wont decide they can relax a bit once we sign them!); there's still that risk. Get me a team of young, hungry players from lower divisions or Scotland who are desparate to improve themselves - together with a few experienced pros who wont take the piss, and we'll be on the right track.

tin Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I'd like to think we could go in for Stephen Jordan from Man City after his release as he would provide real competition for Jamie McAllister at left back and is still a good age. Richard Wright would be another good signing seeing as he's out of contract but that would get shot down in flames considering Basso's 'cult' status.Fowler will wind up in Scotland or the MLS and Hendrie will go to Derby IMO...
