Joe Mattack also released at West Brom. Was going to be the next big thing 4 years ago. Still 22, lower wages than Shorey and a good future. Also, I know Odelusi has been offered a pro-deal as well so you can add him to the striker list.
Thanks Woody, ive heard good things about Odelusi..the hype correct?
And i remember Mattock getting very hyped up a few years ago, he cost West Brom £1m, the same as when we signed Connolly. Hes struggled with injuries though hasnt he?
I think he's a great player. Pacey, good feet, good finisher and good in the air. Despite having half the season out with a broken leg he managed to be 2nd top scorer to Blakeman.
Not certain with injury, but I remember him in the England U21s at the age of 17. Was supposedly going to be huge. Perhaps a stint playing 1st team football might reignite his career.
I think signing a centre back is important, as if either Zat Knight or Ream get injured we're a bit light in that position (although personally I think Ricketts is better at centre half than full back due to his lack of pace). Also Knight isn't very good and I want him no where near the first team. Shorey would be good on a free as he'd solve this issue and could let Ricketts play at centre back if Alonso's injured/out the team. Considering Gartside's said Coyle will pretty much have no money to spend, I can't see us having too many other options.
I think we do need to try and fill out the squad with a few more freebies and loans as there are 46 games in this next season. Look how we coped with 38 games! I think OC will have to operate some kind of squad rotation.
Good post HH. I am getting excited about the start of our next campaign!
Will O'Halloran not be in the squad as well. made the bench a few times this season.
I think that CB is definately the priority and Kyrgiakos is out of contract at sunderland. Big, strong and good in the air. I think he could do a good job in the championship along side ream.
I would be very surprised if Chungy and M Davies are still with us after the summer transfer window! I hope I am proved wrong!
I can see Mavies going but i get the feeling Chungy will stay, I think his injury will put the bigger clubs off till at least january, and i dont think he would want to move to any of the mid-low table clubs cause he loves it round here, and his boyfriend lives only 10 mins up the m61
and his boyfriend lives only 10 mins up the m61
======================================
Eh....?
Elaborate please.
I think we need an experienced Goalkeeper for backup. Boggy is doing alright but not dominating his area yet. One injury and you might as well put me between the sticks.
As always we still need another striker and another midfielder. Otherwise it should be good enough for the Championship.
No Chungy has a missus - girl he went to school with which is kinda sweet.
Him and Ji-Sung Park are just very good mates, Park having helped him adjust to life over here.
i thought [ hoped ] zat knight was out of contract he will be just as bad in the championship imo
Keep Chungy and Holden and keep them fit and we have a pretty damn good squad.
need a goalscorer at this level.kevin phillips type player.sordell and k.davies fine,may end up stuck with ngog because i cant see any interest in him but need that goalscorer to go with them.shame wont get phillips as hes extended his contract at blackpool.
I'm not even considering the squad til the Prem window shuts in September.. We've been a selling & trading club in the past.. Now we are a cheap wh0.re waiting for a punter with a half decent offer...
That could come at anytime..
