Afternoon folks,
With the imminent departures of BJ and NK, you would have to believe that Grayson has at least 2-3 players lined up to sign for us in the early parts of the summer. We will be extra light in the midfield however we still have class in Howson, Snoddy, Max and Nunez going by the reports we have been getting from other clubs fans.
If I was SG I would be asking Papa Smurf for a decent budget to spend on one top Championship / Lower Premier League midfield enforcer. We've needed this person for way too long now so it can't be going amiss surely?
Let's bag Lichaj on loan for the season. That has to happen! I doubt that Wenger will allow us to take Sanchez back on loan since we failed to play him on a regular basis but he would be great to have around. Tom Lees and 'The Gimp' as some people are calling him could add some much needed pace to our back line. If Paddy does get back to fitness, it will be like a new signing!
Does anybody have any realistic targets for that midfield area?

Get real! Papa Smurf to give SG money? I reckon SG can't even claim expenses from that tight a*se!

We need 2 good defenders before we even think about any other positions!!

I agree with leedsthrunthru on the midfield targets. Defensive wise I would go for Jack Hobbs as he will lead the line well and is strong in the air. We've not had a really strong in the air type midfielder for a long time.

Jack Hobbs would be good addition but would he cost a bit?

He will command a reasonable but fair fee IMO. Sven doesn't seem to favour him so it could be one of those 'We'll take him from you before you lose him on a free at the end of his contract'...£300-£400k should do it.
