Harry boy clutching at straws.

I think this is more like "getwestlondon clutching at straws". There is absolutely no substance to the article at all (as usual).

Yer all 3 of them Norths and they wouldnt want huge inflated wages either. Still i reckon Wells will end up at Wigan and Ince probably Prem bound.

Ince best player in the Championship imho. One of the papers saying a prem club has offered 8m so I think we can eliminate him from our enquiries sadly.

Would be surprised if any team has offered anywhere near that amount considering he is out of contract in the summer

[stainrodisalegend]

Cardiff ment to be bidding for ince if the papers are to be believed. Cris commons from Celtic and shane long and up we go imo.

was thinking the same about commons - probably out of our league now - we cd have got him easily a few years ago when several of us were raving about him - he is on fire for celtic this season

article i read said because he is under 21 he can go to the continent for peanuts and several foreign clubs are tracking him so english clubs know they can't wait till the summer. bidding war already started apparently. just repeating what it said in a report, no inside info.

How's that clutching at straws, we'd all take Defoe for a 2 month loan

[Norths]

That is true stain, hadn't factored in the compensation if any British teams waited until the summer to sign him on a 'free'

That would probably be in the region of 4-6m itself and then competing against others, teams will have to offer more in wages

Tom Ince, Wells been mentioned many times.Also, Dan Gosling who I posted about in another thread.

All three would add something to the squad.

Another player i would keep an eye on would be the Donny number 22 Theo Robinson, looked decent the other day

I would love to see ince and wells here but just got a feeling they'll end up in the premiership.

Good shout on Robinson, I thought he had a good game the other day. I dont really know anything about him, is he consistent?

SPL is championship standard at best and with Celtic now out of Europe its gotta be worth a try with these players.

Unlikely to happen but Commons and Ledley would be great additions.

Blows hot and cold apparently, has a few goals this season though.

One for the scouting team to watch imo.

To get get the likes of Ince, Wells, Defoe, Jelavic etc I think we'll have to spend big to fend of premiership clubs.
So I think we'll end up with 1 expensive player or a couple of youngsters like Robinson.

Quite right.It's just that it would have been nice,IF TRUE,to have had him for the other 2 months to the end of the season.Better than nothing if it came off.

Commons n Long both very good shouts and agree would mean instant success

[bakes8]

Not interested in Kris Commons, bang average at best. Don't really like bringing in any player that plays in the Scottish Prem, I would probably look World Class playing St Mirren and Clydebank every week.

Shane Long would be a good signing tho

[qblockoompah]

Thing is commons looked decent even in Europe, good quick feet and a winger who terrorises defenders
