Why don't we try and get Chris Martin from Fulham? Knows where the goal is and a much better option than Ashley Barnes imo.



21 Jan 2017 08:41:00
His on loan there and Derby wanted to recall him but couldn't, wouldn't be possible



20 Jan 2017 20:24:22
Just a thought, instead of trying to sign a left sided midfielder why don't we get a left back who can defend and play Amavi left side of midfield as his great at bombing forward and can crosss a mean ball. Just an idea.



20 Jan 2017 20:45:01
One I'd agree with Smudge. I've thought the same myself
Alternatively, buy another attacking right back such as Mee, go with 3 centre-backs and play them as wing-backs?



20 Jan 2017 20:59:21
I like that idea but I remember when we tried Amavi there before, looked unconfident but can't judge him on one game there. You mean Bree or Mee Mendax? I thought Mee was a centre back.



20 Jan 2017 21:06:26
I've also thought this many times. if Brady was to come in would be perfect as could switch at easy through the games and amavi bombs on Brady drops back and can defend. both good going both ways. amavi for me is a left sided kyle walker.



20 Jan 2017 21:37:47
Yes Chris, sorry. I meant Bree from Barnsley. Looks like he's on the way as well
I'm not as keen on Brady as others seem to be. I've always thought he was overrated



21 Jan 2017 08:34:16
Amavi is dangerous cost us a few goals now I'd have took 25m for him all day long.



21 Jan 2017 08:40:44
How about Bacuna in a right wing back role? He's a good athlete, ideally it would be Trippier. Also, who would be the back 3? Chester would have to be the 'sweeper/ marshall' of that 3, Baker on the left, Elphick maybe, but I think we'd need someone with more height, Callum Chambers on loan?

I think Brady's decent but not worth the 12mil being talked about



21 Jan 2017 10:30:03
I think you could play Hutton on the right of a 3 at the back



21 Jan 2017 14:00:35
Chambers is already out on loan



21 Jan 2017 14:35:31
Might be more confident with someone either side of him as well.



21 Jan 2017 14:50:06
Would Jedinak work there? Got the height, just need Chester to grow a beard to scare the crap outta any opposition forwards?

Leicester City striker Leonardo Ulloa has submitted a formal transfer request,

Ulloa any one? just putting it out there



20 Jan 2017 12:22:17
I think he's been offered big to go to china.

So Bruce just finished his press conference and all this is straight from the horses mouth, no cousins in training grounds - Lansbury done, Hourihane expect to be done "very soon", Rhodes has "run its course" and "we tried" and then "once lansburys confirmed we are very close to two others".

Here's what the reporters from the other parts of the conference are saying -
Bree is the other player close to being completed
Bruce is going to keep trying with Rhodes
Ayew could be sold

So sounds like still no left mid on the horizon but all good things!



20 Jan 2017 13:28:15
the boy from Germany is being tied up as we speak. he's a left winger.



20 Jan 2017 14:42:36
How do you know?



20 Jan 2017 18:11:40
that does not matter how I know just saying should be done over weekend.
