I've had enough of the shite on the other thread, "we should buy suarez and lopez and sure throw in messi". We should be looking at realistic targets, not targets that are going to cost in excess of 30million each, we could get maybe 1 30million player, every other signing will have to be a good cheap buy. Kevin Doyle Ashley Young Phil Jones. These would be my 3 transfer targets. Kevin Doyle(Wolves) would be an ideal foil for torres, is big and strong, can hold up the ball, wins 9 out of 10 headers, hich would flick the ball on to torres, he is also a very intelligent player and i reckon he would work wonders with Torres. not taking anything away from Ngog, but it would be nice to have a choice between Torres and either Doyle or Ngog. Ashley Young,(Aston Villa) i dont think i even need to explain Young, he's an out an out winger, would play well with Gerrard and Meireles feeding balls out to him, i know he cuts in a lot of the time but that could be rectified, also, with Kuyt on on wing and him on the other they could change sides every so often. Phil Jones(Blackburn) He's young, is playing well every week, albeit at blackburn, is big, strong and can play both Midfield and Defence. NOTE: Juan Mata may also be realistic with Babel moving in the opposite direction and no monies involed. 25M for Young, 10M for Doyle and arond 5M for Jones, Thats 40M Sell Babel 8M, Jovanovic 2M, Poulsen 4M, El Zhar 1M, Degen 1M, Spearing 1M Insua 3M and Aquilani 12M, Thats, AT LEAST, 30M without the owners dipping into their pockets at all. Id expect at least 30M+ for those players, maybe more, BUT no less! 10M from the owners and we could be set with Goalkeepers: Reina, Jones Defenders: Johnson, Kelly, Carra, Agger, Wilson, Jones, Skrtel, Kyriagos, Aurelio, Konchesky Midfield: Young, Maxi, Kuyt, Gerrard, Lucas, Meireles, Cole, Pacheco, Shelvey, Forwards: Torres, Ngog, Doyle That, in my opinion would be a good squad of players. And gets a lot of unnecessary baggage off the wage bill. What do ye think?
i think doyle and young are decent shouts. I'd like to see more of Phil Jones first. I Like Gary Cahill myself. Regards players to get rid of i'd pretty much go along with them. I still think we'd be short quality LB and possibly centre mid.
Well Phil Jones can play both Central Midfield and defence, and as for left back, number 1 and 2 would be PK and Aurelio, with Agger as back up
Id love to see Young been signed , can see him going for around £15-18m as only 18 months left on his contract.
3 affordable january signings Ok lads if ye could have 3 affordable realistiv signings in Jan who would they be? Chris Samba David Bentley Kevin Doyle! Elmander but he would be quite expensive
No No and No We need to be aiming higher than these Sambe is good but not title winning good i feel Bentley is the same as pennent loads of hype but not good enough Doyle dont think he is the type of striker we need
any suggestions?they have to be within our price range and also we must have a realistic chance of signing these players
Honda - CSKA 9 Million Hangeland - Fulham 6 Million ??? Forlan - Ath Madrid 5 Million ??? and we dont need a Keeper Cash in on jovanovich poulsen and babel Aquaman Should be Sold (For the right price to juve)as it looks like he doesnt wanna come back
We're not going to catch the teams above us by blowing money on players who wouldn't get near their sides.
Samba SWP Suarez Could probably pick those 3 up for 20million. I'd prefer Hangeland and Young but not sure they'd be what you'd term affordable.
Thought so.Perhaps the mods might merge the 2 threads http://www.irishkop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16490&highlight=realistic+transfer+targets
