poor performance and result today, so low tempo; really felt like an end of season match
anyway look at players from relegated teams that could potentially be targets
Blackpool
Charlie Adam (5/6m ?)
- tough one to call, brilliant player on his day with excellent set peices and incisive long passing from midield, however pretty inconsistent, not brilliant in the tackle and gives away the ball too often. maybe could be option as squad player
Birmingham
Scott Dann (7m)
- young (only 23) talented english ball playing centre half, solid defensivley and patient in possesion, imo would be an excellent squad signing. Proven in the premier league over 2 seasons (birminghams dip in defensive form and also relegation was in his absence). Would also most likley push for a move as he was a Liverpool season ticket holder when younger.
Roger Johnson (6m)
- good gritty premier league proven defender, solid if not as assured in possesion as dann. i dont think hes as good an option because of this and that he is 27, so maybe abit older than the type fsg will be considering.
West Ham
Scott Parker (8m)
- journalists player of the year (deservedley?), no doubt a good premier league holding mid, good in the tackle and with tremendous attitude.at 30 hes probably to old to be considered anyway and also struggled with but-part role at chelsea. could be good as a squad player i guess, but i think there are better options out there.
Carlton Cole (4m)
- ok premier league striker but woefully inconsistent, quite overhyped due to being english. maybe could cut it as squad (4th choice) striker but i think in a few years N'gog will probably be better than him anyway. also 26/ i think almost 27 so not likley to improve that much
Mark Noble (3m)
-apparentley quite good (could be london press overrating him),and only 23 or 24. not really seen enough to pass judgment
Matthew Upson (3m)
-please no
Demba Ba (7/8m)
-not really proven over a long period of time but looks a quality premier league striker, hes about 25, i think hes quite flexible and played kinda as a wide forward for hoffenhiem, not really sure. probably not first choice but would be good for squad depth

Amazing to think West Ham wanted £20m for Carlton Cole last summer.
the only one i'd take would Charlie Adam
