Who would you like to see the club sign

for either division whether league 1 or the big CHAMPIONSHIP

James Hayter on a free when we go up.

18 goals out of 41 for a team flirting with relegation.:sorted:

:imwith: Even if we don't, although it's unlikely we'd get him.

Marcus Stewart.

granted he's 33, but he knows where the goal is.

He wasn't getting a game at BC, but has started quite a few games at Preston since being on loan there.

Is he out of contract? I'd love him to come. Just the sort of player we need.

I believe he is.

If we go up instead of Colchester, I'd like us to do what Reading did to us a few years ago.
We nick all Col U's best players for nowt and give them all our shlte in return.

We'll have Wayne Brown, Chris Iwulemo, Greg Halford and Mark Yeates (although technically not a Col U player) and they can have Newman, Brooker, Willock, Smith, Hutchinson and Owusu.

Paul Smith and DJ Campbell.
 

Who would you like to see the club sign

Jay Tabb as I believe his contract is up in the Summer

At this level, Luke Beckett..........absolutely prolific

Trundle anyone? :fishing:

In the games where they went 5 games without a goal.:confused:

...Mr Yeates......................

Billy Sharp and Andy Keogh at Scunthorpe look like two outstanding young forwards.
Michael Nelson from Hartlepool, never seen him put a foot wrong.
Gareth Ainsworth, if there was any truth about him at the start of this season instead of Brooker we'd be up by now. An ageing busy winger who never stops making things happen, that GA and not PB by the way.;)

There must be loads of lads at Tottenham on the way out, Yeates, Marney and others as they have a 765 man squad full of foreign internationals. The same theory with Hearts, big squad and bought 14:eek: in the Jan window I think. They bought Lee Johnson from Yeovil and like he is really going to get a look in.:rolleyes:
Some of those MK players look too good for League 2 IMHO.
Smith, the left back who was in for suspended Lewington who is a decent player in his own right.
But look at the teams that fail to go up from League 1 like Colchester and nick their good lads as someone previously said because sadly if it is us who fail it will happen to us.

Seen him put a couple of elbows wrong though.

It was at the time, as it turns out maybe not. At least it was that twerp Wright.

Provided that they are still on track for their new ground for 07-08 I'd expect Colchester to be able to afford to keep their team intact (if they can run it on 3,500 average gates now no reason why not). If they don't go up this season, I can see them as potential Champions next season, which would be ideal for the move.

Realistically we are going to be looking at discards from Reading and other Premiership teams plus £5k DJ-type non-league buys aren't we?

at the moment we could be the sunderland of the championship if we go up.....

Plenty of time to worry about and sort out.:sorted:

If we go up there will be loads of decent lads wanting to wear the shirt.

Freddie Eastwood
Efe Sodje
Lee Trundle

Would be difficult to get a top goalscorer like Hayter purely based on money issues so i would be looking at youngsters from Prem clubs on loan. Wonder if Utd would loan us Giuseppi Rossi :sorted:

Fair points but would their better players want another season in League one?

Rene Howe - Bedford Town

John Frendo - Ware FC

I think their better players will go to bigger clubs than us sadly. Can't see Danss, Halford et al seeing us as much better off than they've got.

Danns for Preston and Halford for Norwich?

Halford for all your motoring accessories?

The Hereford centre half Mkandawere. Quick, strong. Good prospect

Ex West Brom I think.
Slightly lacking in the height department but looks a classy defender.

You can forget Halford, he will be going to Premiership or top Champoinship club during the summer in my opinion. How about more experienced campaigners from Championship level?
 

Who would you like to see the club sign

Halford is quality but now strolling around as has been at this level a season too long to maintain his development......Know he has been tracked by West Ham for the last season and a half and I think only their good form in the prem has stopped them signing him before now. I'm sure they'll wait til he's out of contract and negotiate his fee down.

Realistic players we might get are going to be loanees from the prem clubs looking for experience and exposure like Yeates and the Man U left back at Chesterfield Picken who was excellent against us at home.

Know we need a forward but suspect that we'll pick one up easy enough if we get up.

Hardest gap to fill and our biggest obvious weakness is that we have missed a quality leader in midfield since the days of Evans at his peak who helped us dominate games from midfield. At home I can count on one hand the games where our midfield has clicked for more than 45 minutes and dicated the game which is crazy given that we haven't been out of the top 4 all season.

We need an experienced but not ancient playmaker with the ability to put his foot on the ball, pick out players, get up and down the park and mix it when required. A tired old pro on his last legs who blows hot and cold but knows enough to get by is just about adequate if he can motivate the youngsters around him but only at this level.

That for me is where we have fallen short along with a lot of other teams at this level and if we get up where we will get buried in the championship.

Totally agree but I suspect Skulason was hoped to play more and have established himself by now. Sadly Newman has been an automatic choice without ever playing really well.

All posibilities :

Richard Walker(bristol rovers), Ryan Lowe has no club after his contact was terminated today (17 in 34 this season aint bad), Micheal Reddy (grimsby), Ritchie Barker (Mansfield), Luke Rodgers (crewe), Juan Ugarte (Crewe), Kenny Lunt (Crewe), Ben Burgess (hull), Adam Proudlock (Ipswich) Gary Docherty (Norwich) Nick Chadwick (Plymouth) Andrew Surman (southampton) Wade Small (mk dons) Ryan Williams (Aldershot) Stuart Nethercott (Woking) Ronnie Henry (Stevenage)

Watford have managed to pick up some decent young premier reserev loan deals, and that I believe would be the cheapest option along with a couple of more experienced players. Barnard from Spurs could be a loan possibility and maybe someone like Jimmy Walker as a keeper from West Ham for experience.:fishing:

Unfortunately IMHO this list looks like candidates that we might have to consider if we stay down.

It looks la bit of a motley crew of those who either failed to fufil initial promise like Rogers and Chadwick, players who never recovered form after long term injury like Burgess, Proudlock and Ugarte and a never really was/has been like Nethercott who is finding the going hard at Woking so god knows how he'd perform 3 leagues higher.

MA has always looked to see if he can revive and motivate players who have lost their way but with the exception of those I don't recognise wouldn't imagine that any of this crop will interest him enough to try them in the championship.

Rogers and

Agree with others about Yeates. Although we hammered Tranmere away I thought their forward Zola caught the eye: looked skilful and dangerous.

Not keen on him. He was at Oldham before and only got 4 goals this season. Too inconsistent. We need a free scoring forward.

But if I remember rightly he had a long injury problem. Of course, one cannot judge too much from one game, but he certainly caused us problems.
