Mirallas Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Ryan Shawcross Craig Bellamy (championship, but they're 1st) Simon Mignolet Can't think of a any more at the moment... I bet Ryan Bertrand is too expensive. Edited December 29, 2012 by Mirallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 What about these ? Sessegnon (Sunderland) Mignolet (Sunderland) Shawcross (Stoke) Lescott (City) Mahoney (Wigan) Di Santo (Wigan) Bergovic (Stoke) Reid (West Ham) Welbeck (United) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoward18 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Ryan Shawcross Craig Bellamy (championship, but they're 1st) Simon Mignolet Can't think of a any more at the moment... I bet Ryan Bertrand is too expensive. My god would I LOVE to add Shawcross. Big and physical center back who isn't afraid to take abuse. We saw that in our recent matchup where he frustrated Fellaini. Only problem (aside from potential cost) is that Man U has first refusal on a transfer for him. I don't know how they feel about adding him. Anyone have thoughts on Stephen Ireland? He was pretty close to signing with Red Bull NY the past season but money issues got in the way. Pretty clear that at least one party is looking to move on and Aston Villa is in panic mode right now. To be honest though I haven't seen much of him so you guys would have a much better idea of how good he is. Another guy who has impressed me is Adam Le Fondre. Reading seems destined for relegation and he's entering the prime years for a striker. Don't know if he wants to go back to championship football. I see him as a clear upgrade over Anichebe and especially Vellios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirallas Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Now that I think of it... May definitely come: Ryan Shawcross Simon Mignolet Ryan Bertrand Clint Dempsey (if good deal) Kevin De Bruyne Also: Ashley Williams Craig Bellamy Nathan Dyer Oriol Romeu Romelu Lukaku Jolean Lescott Stéphane Sessegnon Kenwyne Joel Jones Edited December 29, 2012 by Mirallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 I'd have McCarthy from Wigan and Westwood from Sunderland. I wouldn't touch Shawcross with a 10ft bargepole with shit on the end. I've only ever seen him as a clogger, nowhere near being a good defender. It'd pain me to see him playing for us ahead of Duffy.

Duffy is very young as defenders go. I'm surprised he hasn't been loaned out for experience. Stoke have both Shawcross and Cameron on suspensions today, and Southampton are taking full advantage.

Steve_E Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 I'd have Guidetti and Lescott from Manchester City. And in the summer, I'd see what it would take to get Rodwell or Richards from them, Huddlestone and Sigurdsson from Spurs, Benteke from Villa and Ramsey from Arsenal. I also like Mulumbu from WBA, McCarthy and Maloney from Wigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Shawcross isn't even a possibility anyway if you really think about it. For one, he's either already signed that 6 year contract or is about to (I can't remember off the top of my head). And two, he'd be way out of our price range (thankfully, IMO). Duffy may be young but I think he's already good enough. I'd like to see him play in our cup games and come on when we've got a game sown up (rare, I know ).

Fearthainn Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 I'd be quite happy with Lescott and McCarthy. Wouldn't want us to bring in too many players. I see many people mentioning Shawcross these days, wouldn't he be quite expensive anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 If rumours about Man U getting Lewandowski are true, I'd like Welbeck. But to be honest, I don't think there's a lot of good value out there in the PL. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Shawcross is a big lad helped a lot by being able to defend inside his own box a lot of the time. He doesn't have to pass either as the goalkeeper will go long all the time. He wouldn't be as good for another team as he is for Stoke.

thoward18 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Duffy is very young as defenders go. I'm surprised he hasn't been loaned out for experience. Stoke have both Shawcross and Cameron on suspensions today, and Southampton are taking full advantage. I read today in one of the major British newspapers that Moyes claims he is looking to move a few of the youngers guys out on loan. I'd think that Duffy is one of the guys he is referring to. I think Duffy has not been loaned out because we need him for cover. What CB depth do we have after Heitinga, Jags, and Distin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffy and that's it. But Moyes has been known to play Hibbert or Neville at CB when we've been desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcus jones Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Had to chuckle at this one! Avin you are naughty, we ain't got a pot to piss in you know! Doubt that we could afford wages of a loan player without selling first. All though if Lewandowski is off to Utd then Hernandez might fit the bill here.................

Romey 1878 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Only a keeper I thought? Nope. As long as the loaning club hasn't paid a fee then you can recall the player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avinalaff Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 PREMIERSHIP PLAYERS The logic behind keeping it Premiership is it stops the PS3 and FM kiddies from pulling the names of players nobody has heard of, and makes it a debate about 'Premiership' players we know.
