[Hove Ranger]

mcanuff & pearce (reading) or mcgugan (watford). from the lower leagues, forshaw at brentford is a good shout and i like pritchard at swindon (on loan from spurs).

[Hitman34]

If Harry is still here in the summer, nailed on to see Joe Cole rock up at LR

spot on.

also add peter crouch and zamora on a new deal.

Good thread, some decent suggestions. Some of the lower league players I don't know enough about to comment but these are the TYPE of players we need to be thinking about. You either spend serious money on someone proven, fit and in the peak of their career (ala Jordan Rhodes) or you go bargain basement for up and coming. Yes, you need a few wise old heads but we have more grand old men than the House of Lords. We badly need an injection of youth, hunger and fight.

[SuperHoopNik]

If we go up:
Moussa Dembele (Fulham one 17 yr old)
Harry Maguire (sheff utd)
Ryan Gauld (dundee)


Then a few big signings:
Zaha's avaliable at £5m
Gaston Ramirez (Wont get ravel, too expensive. Ramirez hardly set the prem alight with the saints, but there's a big player in there somewhere)
Peter Crouch
Mile Jedinak (Strange one maybe but I rate him highly)
Cheeky £6m bid for Andros Townsend, not really getting a look in at spurs.

And a decent young(ish) left back.

[Fordy]

2 seasons in a row Troy Deeney scored 20 goals or more. Wonder how much he would cost?

[lymehoop]

they are out there, the Parkes, Parkers, Penrices and every other Roger Hunt out there

[JuniorPower]

This would be my team for next year, Premiership providing

Goalkeeper undecided

Simpson Winston Reid Onouoha Ben Davies




Phillips Ravel Morrison. Diame / wanyama / Barton. Splash out on Jarvis





Austin Remy /. Fletcher off Sunderland if they go down

[Fordy]

My team, if promoted :
McCarthy (Reading)
Simpson
Onuoha
Caulker (Cardiff)
Cresswell (Ipswich)
Zaha (United)
Barton
Lansbury (Forest)
Phillips
Morrison
Austin/Remy

Get in Nick Powell on loan.

Some good suggestions and some very bad!

David Perkins is a prospect is he? At 31 years of age and spent his whole career playing for tin pot clubs! I agree we need to go down a different route but that is way off the mark!

Also you'd have to have two completely different lists of targets.

If we go up:

David Marshall (Cardiff)
Bardsley (Sunderland), Caulker (Cardiff), Taylor (Newcastle), Ridgewell (WBA), Bertrand (Chelsea)
Sinclair (Loan, City), Diame (West Ham), De Guzman (Swansea/Villarreal), Livermore (Spurs), Snodgrass (Norwich), Moses (Loan, Chelsea)
McCormack (Leeds) Carlton Cole (West Ham), Fraizer Campbell (Cardiff)

15 signings, which is a hell of a lot, however, very much needed as we'll be losing a similar amount of players. 13 of the 15 are UK born players, something that is imperative when in a battle to stay in the league. I'd then have a squad looking like:

GK: Green & Marshall
RB: Simpson & Bardsley
LB: Ridgewell & Bertrand
CB: Hill, Onuoha, Caulker & Taylor
Wingers: Phillips, Hoilett, Traore, Sinclair, Snodgrass, Moses.
CM: Barton, Faurlin, Diame, De Guzman, Livermore
Forwards: Austin, McCormack, Cole, Campbell

Comfortably stay up imo and a good strong UK based squad. Our wage bill would be at a far more average level.

Out: Cesar, Murphy, Dunne, Hughes, Young (Luke, remember him!) Ekotto, Morrison, Carroll, SWP, Jenas, Kranjcar, Diakite, Park, Granero, Mbia, Taarabt, Henry, Ephraim, Benayoun, O'Neil, Remy, Johnson, Keane, Doyle, Zamora, Dellatorre, Maiga.

Unbelievably 27 players!

If we fail to go up:

I actually really fear for us and can't really offer any potential signings as a lot will depend on clearing the above out!

[Qprnw10]

Lascells
Caulker
Livermore
Morrison
Carroll
Pritchard
Ings
Berahino

[Qprnw10]

[West London is Rss]

Id say Oliver Norwood and that Forshaw from Brentford? Got league 1 player of the year didn't he or something?
