Stoke need Wingers and Strikers and fast. What is Hughes playing at? Etherington is injury prone, Kightly isn't good enough and Pennant can be trouble. Apparently were after Sinclair which is good but I doubt we will get him. I don't think that Crouch and Jones will fit into the team well next year either. What we need to do is get Hoilett in then go for Sinclair, also taarabt on loan which I have heard might be a bit of good business. As for strikers I would like to see Mame Biram Diouf or Emmanuel Emenike or Darren Bent is what we need.

Also need a right back after that clown Wilko has been sent off in a friendly match

That squad is good enough to get promoted - now the Trust can raise money to do the ground.

For those out there that are unhappy with the lack of players been brought in to Middlesbrough, I think you are all maybe being a little short sighted. We have a strong squad. There might be 1 or 2 players brought in yet but if there isn't that doesn't mean we can't have a good season. People are slating Gibson a lot on here about lack of investment! He built an amazing academy that is full of talent, why not use it? if we use our own players from the academy its a no lose situation, the value of the player goes up and also the reputation of the club for producing the talented youngster. We recently had too many players on high wages that we needed to move on and now that we have done that we can focus on rebuilding a new team. let's not forget we have a strong first team and add to that Joszef Varga and Dean Whitehead. Both aggressive and hard working team players, these are great signings also great leaders to have around the younger lads. Look at it like this; A youngster introduced to the first team is like a new signing, the fans become excited by seeing a local kid from the town achieving his dreams, we love that! Look at the team:

Goalkeepers:
Steele-Ripley-Leutwiler-Turnbull?

Full Backs:
Friend-Halliday-Parnaby-Hoyte-Bennett-Reach

Cetre Backs:
Woodgate-Williams-Gibson-Hines-Burgess-Morris

Midfield:
Leadbitter-Whitehead-Haroun-Varga-Smallwood

Attackers:
Ledesma-Carayol-Emnes-Park-Williams-Jones

Strikers:
Jutkiewicz-Main-Wyke


With that squad we could easily work between a 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2 formation. The signings brought in add a bit of metal in midfield that we lacked last season. Like I said maybe 1 0r 2 players will be brought in but even if they don't that team will be strong enough to aim for a top 6 finish. Now even a few of these players will be loaned out and a few players can be rotated into different positions but overall its a pretty strong squad. let's wait and see, I for one am excited to see the lads surprise a few this season.

Sam Allardyce confirms his interest in Kalou and Remy and, yes you've guessed it, he is pondering, mulling, weighing up, readying to bid. TOO LATE as always. If your going to bid THEN BID and stop messing around. No team can afford to ponder, mull, weigh up options because by the time they do, the player will move be bought by someone else and West ham are in desperate need of at least 2 more strikers. Dig deep and go get Remy. He;s winger come striker what West ham need. Stop mucking around pondering, weighing up offers etc

My dear chap, you're getting a little too over excited. Have a lie down and leave it to Mr Allardyce to sort out. He's quite a good manager, you know.

Loic remy and kalou would be good if West ham could get them both. Why do West ham not offer Matt Taylor, Ricardo Vaz Te and £3m for Loic Remy. This way QPR get 2 decent championship players and a few quid and West ham get the Striker come winger that they are after. Ok, so Remy has a court case pedning but I'm sure all that would be investigated prior to any transfer dealings

What happened to this Marquee signing West Ham were suppose to be getting after Carroll. All hot air again

Big sam is still in millets looking one big enough

love the sight lads, and buzz of some of the posts but wot is everyone smoking because if madrid get bale 6yr contract according to el bulls. t, ronaldo defo won't leave and will sign new 3 yr deal same money with buy out clause 30 -40 mill. so we should just concentrate on bale and offer 80, 90 million or even cash plus players, just give that wrong un levy what he wants and then pick up ronaldo nxt yr for 30-40 mil as he won't sign a new 1 without bale to partner him an isco to better match messi, neymar and iniesta. we b fooked again cheers to the penny pinching glazers that's all folks
