Shelvey 8 million?

You are having a laugh. He's a striker that never scores. 2 million tops. {Ed003's Note - Striker?}

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe first replier should watch a game sometimes, then he might know Shelvey is not a striker

Agree0 Disagree0

8million is a bit much though.

Agree0 Disagree0

Shelvey is not a midfielder either!

Agree0 Disagree0

Shelvey. sits in behind front two.
its called an attacking midfielder.
me thinks he, under the right manager / team could be a great player. so that counts huddersfield. barnsley and ipswich out. ha ha ha ha

With SOD bringing in defensive midfielder Wynter and Swindon's rock at the back Aden Flint, it shows that a manager has finally worked out what is the frailty at Bristol City.

Stevenage's player of the season, midfeilder Dunne and Carlise's, Noble are being continuously linked with the club. Any signing now on though will depend on departures of players at Ashton gate.

Expect many more faces to arrive in BS3 If the likes of Kilkenny, Adohma, Fontaine, Davis and Baldock all move on. This will free up a huge wage bill chunk and bring in much needed transfer money.

The club has been going through a financial overhaul to become sustainable for the soon to come in FFP rules. Although Davis's (Wolves) and Baldock (Charlton) wages won't count towards it, it is seems that they will have to except exceptional wage cuts for new clubs.

Brentford have today brought in a keeper from Watford which paves the way for Simon Moore to join for a undisclosed free after SOD showed declared interest in him.

Just what I've been seeing around the web, forums and fan sites. All seem quite believable but will depend on other clubs cherry picking Bristol best players.

Having recently released 7 players, Stoke are in desperate need of some new young players. Positions all over the pitch are screaming out for new players. Here are some positions I think Hughes should consider filling:

Centre Back
We have no proper cover for Shawcross and Huth. If one of them are injured/suspended, our only option is to put a fullback in that position.

Fullback
We need better quality on the team than Shotton and Wilkinson. Simple as that.

Right Midfield
Pennant has recently been released, which leaves us with Kightly as out only option. We all know he isn't Premier League standard, which is obviously why we need some fresh young talent filling the right midfield position.

Centre Midfield
Having had Whitehead released, we're left with four players in centre mid: Adam, Nzonzi, Whelan and Whitehead. Adam and N'zonzi are great players, but their future at Stoke is unsure, with N'zonzi saying he wants to leave and Adam not denying he wouldn't like a move to newly promoted Crystal Palace. Whelan and Palacios on the other hand aren't such great players. Whelan does the job, but more is needed from him in the Premier League. And Palacios hasn't started a league game in over a year. That stat is self-explanatory. Our only hope with him is if Hughes can somehow revive his career. Somehow.

Forward
It's an obvious one. Our goal tally is horrific, averaging under 1 goal per game last season. Crouch is almost on his last legs, and Jones just can't ever find the back of the net. I think we need one or two forwards to boost the goal tally.

Players I think could potentially fills these positions:

Centre Back- Abdoulaye Ba
Full Back - Erik Pireters, Paulo De Ceglie, Louis Pedro Canvanda
Right Wing- Junior Hoilett, Scott Sinclair, David Bentley, Chris Brunt
Centre Mid- Victor Wanyama (longshot), Craig Gardener, Stephen Ireland
Forward- Di Santo, Andreas Cornelius, Jozy Altidore, Wilfred Bony (longshot), Gary Hooper, Loic Remy (longshot).

Just wandering what your opinion on this?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Yeah your in trouble mate

My opinion is your post (s) are crazily long and you think you're a sports writer for some junior newspaper.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I pity Huddersfield in that case. Two horrible, arrogant players. Tailor made for Pish Posh.

Agree0 Disagree0

Huddersfield won't sign them because they are under contract and it would take a transfer fee apart from vaughan any other signings will be freebies or loans. dean hoyle said loans will be the main avenue for us.

I have to voice my concerns as a loyal West ham fan over the purchase of Andy Carroll (and you can argue with if you want). If memory serves me right, we had Carroll on loan all last season and we were one of, if not, the lowest scorers in the premier league. If we are now investing £15m and £80k a week on a striker, then surely that striker must be able to offer us more that we've already had (in other words, WE NEED MORE GOALS lots of em). As much as I believe in the board and Sam, I have a real concern we don't have enough firepower up front

Not buying in to this new revolution we are back nonesense.

We (MK Dons) are also signing nobody. Seems to be the policy of the club now. It's considered a sin to spend money on the squad. Typical of Winkelman.

I can't help but think that the bale story will progress as its does not want to go away. Maybe that's the reason no targets have been approached because if we sell bale we will have better targets. On a down side who ever we go for the price will be inflated.
Hig and di Maria + 50 mil for bale
Then 50 mil on players
I think we will have a league winning team should he go.
If he stays then perfect too. Not a bad position to be in should all the bale money be used well

OK so today we hear that Newcastle have been in discussions with Darren Bent and he is due to sign in the next few days on completion of medical. Norwich are close to completing a deal for Gary Hooper. West Ham will sign Andy Carroll next week. Bearing in mind West ham have just got rid of 3 strikers and they are only signing 1 (who has poor injury record) my money is already on them as one of the heavy favourties for relegation and Allardyce the first for the sack

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I don't think Norwich will sign Gary Hooper idk why people on here say it so much :s he is an ok player but I don't think he will be very good in the prem just saying highly over rated.

Can't help but feel that young free agent Jernade Meade would be a good signing for Yeovil if we can manage it, as he would be a deputy left back to the aging McAllister that could play in a more advanced role if needed.
