Transfer Talk

Commons as well. Assuming we get Snodgrass, if we were to sign another midfielder I'd probably rather have a defensive minded player.

 

Seb larsson maybe ?

 

Stocker.

 

Michael Keane.

 

Kasper Kusk

 

Thought Armstrong played very well against us when he came on today, a few of his passes and his dribbling made him immediately stand out. Versatile as well.

 

Armstrong is a must buy imo, I don't think we can afford to miss out on him. Well kayal and bring him in.

 

Good shout mate

 

Sunderland fans don't really rate Larsson, they say he's anonymous in games

 

He must lack in confidence he's been at bottom clubs since 2010 put him in a winning team maybe he will really get going we don't really have many good technical players atm worth a punt I think and he's on a free

 

Davy Klaassen

 

Hamburg are in the relegation playoff, if they lose and get relegated there's quite a few decent players we should take a look at. I know it's Hamburg but grudges aside for a minute :icon_mrgreen:

Van der Vaart and Calhanoglu are obviously unrealistic. But there's Badelj, Jiracek, Ilicevic and also Rudnevs who we've been linked with previously - went on loan to Hannover in January and has got 3 in 8 which is decent. I think he's worth a punt if we're looking for another striker. He isn't a world-beater but I think he could be good for us.

There's also Jonathan Tah, the 18 year old centre back who's broken into the first team this season and has been one of their few good players. Tipped for big things in the future. Would be a real coup if we could get him.

Nuremberg have been automatically relegated and have quite a good number of talents too. There's Drmic obviously, but he has been linked to Arsenal alongside others so it's basically a nonstarter. Other than him, there's Kiyotake, Hasebe, and Pinola and a couple of others.

Braunschweig also got relegated and the only player I'd really take notice of is Domi Kumbela, the striker. He's got 9 goals which is a decent for a player in a team that finished bottom. Maybe worth a look.

 

I hope we are looking at the relegated German clubs. As mentioned above, they've got some good players.

 

I'd honestly look more at the English market. Lewis Grabban, Brit Assombalonga, Adam Clayton, Matt Ritchie, Michael Hector. All quality players. Maybe not the big names everyone is thinking about. Grabban and Assombalonga have 55 goals between them.
Clayton and Ritchie get goals from midfield. Hector is a big center half who was at Aberdeen earlier in the season. He'd be my replacement for Mouyokolo. Matt Ritchie would be good cover for Commons.

There are others like James Vaughan and folks i've mentioned before. For me these players settle quicker, i think they've got the technical ability to handle Europe as well.

All these guys get ignored by Premiership teams. For me it's a sure fire way to guarantee we get good technical players in who are able to hit the ground running and don't get freaked out by the physical nature of the Scottish game.

 

Rio Ferdinand?

We'd need to come to a decent agreement over wages but he'd be a good asset to the club and he's still got a fair bit to give as a player. He's spoken very highly of Celtic in the past as well...

 

Rio Ferdinand would be a very clever deal actually. I imagine he'll be a good coach in the future as well. So maybe he'd be someone who could come in, play for a season or two, then maybe crossover into management quite quickly.

 

Carlos Cuellar on a free.

 

''Player of the year, now he's a *.''

 

Pedro Leon if Getafe go down, right winger, used to play for Real Madrid

I would say Diego Buonanotte if Grenada went down but he's about 5 foot tall and probably too small for our league

Ruben Castro from Betis, striker, good player with a good scoring record, 33 this summer though
