Summer 2011

[MLB]

What's McCarthy like as a player? More defensive or offensive? Seems like we're trying to buy up all the young talent in British football.

 

 

I've mostly just seen highlights of him on MOTD and the like, but he seems to me to be a good all-rounder. Good technique, good passing, intelligent with the ball. He looks like he could play anywhere in midfield and do well. Plus he's only 20 and plays with a lot of maturity for someone that age.

[Trucker Paddy]

Why are people taking about McCarthy? I'd be surprised if we went for him as they'll want silly money, unless Wigan go down

[Chocoholic]

I think we'll have a 'marquee signing' as well as the ones mentioned

 

Is that a signing that makes us have a huge tent in our trousers? :drool:

Because we've watched him recently(?)

[StevieH]

What is the latest on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's future at Southampton?

[Trucker Paddy]

 

Because we've watched him recently(?)

 

We've watched Wigan all season, it may be Nzogbia, I was just saying it seems to be lots of talk regarding McCarthy in last couple of days on the Forums, and was just wondering had Commoli mentioned him in an interview or something

[Yozzer]

There's apparently something in the German newspaper, Bild, saying we're interested in Marko Marin. Don't know how true it is but just thought I'd add it to the massive amount of speculation.

[PaulMcC]

I haven't seen us linked to McCarthy much.

[MLB]

I haven't seen us linked to McCarthy much.

 

 

Kenny, Comolli and Mel Johnson have all apparently watched him.

Now that would be a signing.

[James Dean]

Seen Marin a few times this season, and he hasn't been anything special.

 

Werder Bremen has been crap all year though.

[Red Banjo]

I've been thinking something rather controversial lately, and now im gonna put it into writing.

 

I wouldn't be opposed to Rodellaga if Wigan went down and we could get him for a decent price.

 

There. I said it.

[Pidge]

I was saying that last summer. Not so keen now as I think he's a very selfish player. Right now, I'd cast an eye at Odemwingie. Who is also selfish, but he's also fast as fuck.

[Mustangt125]

What about Figueroa? Or has he gone shit

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Fucking hell. Why not just buy Wigan and Villa, bin our team and start playing a mix of theirs? We'll win the league in no time.

QPR linked with Joe Cole - Liverpool FC

 

QPR manager Neil Warnock has targeted Jermaine Jenas and Joe Cole as he prepares his squad for the Premier League, according to reports.

 

The west London club, backed by the financial clout of billionaires Bernie Ecclestone and Lakshmi Mittal, are expected to splash the cash over the summer and see the experienced Premier League pair as key to their plans to establish themselves in the top flight.

 

Spurs midfielder Jenas has struggled to hold down a regular place this season and Warnock will look to a loan deal, while Cole is seen as a possible replacement for Adel Taarabt, should the Moroccan leave, the Daily Mail reported.

I could see them going for this.

[RoyHodgeGone]

I want to bring up a personal fave of mine again. Marc Albrighton at Aston Villa. Decent skill and pace and delivers good balls into the box. I'm sure Carroll would thrive alongside him.

[Red House]

What about Figueroa? Or has he gone shit

 

He always was!

[kanban333]

who exactly do we have that is better then Downing as a true left winger pray tell

[RED.DUB]

I hate this argument, just because a certain supposed target is probably of a better quality than we've currently got doesnt make said player the right player for us.

[Mathewbet1]

Priority No 1: World class winger

2: Centre back

3: Left back

4)Centre Mid

5)3d Choice striker

Is that even the point? We're trying to overtake Chelsea, United and Arsenal. We're not going to do it unless we buy better players than them. Maxi has scored as many in three games as Downing has all season. Are you trying to say that he represents a significant enough improvement to overtake Chelsea, United and Arsenal?

[Elite]

I'll be glad when their is foundation to all these rumours!

There. I said it.

 

weren't they asking for 10ml last summer seems a little steep to me.

Demba Ba at west ham would make a good back up,5 goals in 10 games so far
