[Neil Ravenscroft]

Any suggestions as to who the loan player might be?

Anyone's guess at this stage. The early favourite is sure to be Mantom, but I'd like to think it's a striker.

Darren Carter won't be signed by Blues and is 'considering other offers'.

Sounds like Smith is saying "We're going to bring in Chambers or Stewart, with James been our first choice. Also we'd like to bring in Mantom, we'll ask Albion and see what they say... If yes then it's a bonus but if not I'm happy with my squad."

No chance... However a three or five man midfield consisting of Mantom, Cuvelier and Carter in the centre would be a very impressive and creative midfield for League 1.

[WFC_Jimmy]

Would take Mantom back in a flash, but we are desperate for a target man so i'm hoping its that. Deano will be signing either Stewart or Chambers, i think that is nailed on now.

Grof

Taundry
Holden
Butler
Chambers/ Stewart

Chambers
Cuvelier

Brandy
Paterson
Hemmings

Grigg

Got a feeling this will be the starting line XI for this Saturday

[Darth Vader]

Grigg the lone target man. *Shakes head*

Not sure Smith will go for that many attacking options in the team on the opening day. I reckon we'll see this:

Grof
Purkiss, Holden, Butler, Benning
Chambers, Featherstone, Cuvelier,
Paterson, Hemmings
Grigg

Gone for Benning on the basis that we shouldn't need to rush through the signing of Stewart/Chambers for a cup game.

Amused to see the Twitter 'tribute' that the Mail are featuring for Blues 'Legend' Darren Carter. I know he scored an important goal for them or something but he's hardly Paul Tait is he?

Id rather Bowerman on his own to be honest. I really dont see what the fuss is about Grigg at all.

Dont think we will play with just one against most teams though, more like 3.

Agreed as things stand Smith is asking and awful lot of Grigg and Bowerman

[Asps]

Don't worry lads, an ex England centre forward is signing for us on a pay as you play contract. He's already training with the club.

And it is not Michael Ricketts

[Sadders]

Can only be big Emile or Darius Vassell.

Could be Francis Jeffers, could be any old crap that once had a fake cap.

You've heard about DV also then :mrgreen:

[Darth Vader]

You called sexy?

[canadiansaddler]

got to be MO - we were so close to signing him last year :mrgreen:

[saddla]

I guessthat means James Beattie is on his way. Not so sure. May be a master coup or could be a disaster.

[JonnyOwen]

Fowler?

[Ken Barlow]

Michael Owen?

[Asps]

It's Darius.

Perhaps he can give us the X factor

[Ken Barlow]

It's Darius.

Perhaps he can give us the X factor

Is this another Heskey type rumour?

[JonnyOwen]

Andy Caroll?

[Neil Ravenscroft]

Andy Caroll?

Would prefer a footballer

[Neil Ravenscroft]

It's Darius.

See! Somebody's put it straight on FootballRumours

[DavidWFC2010]

Emile Heskey is currently training with Wigan Athletic so won't be him if ASPS is correct, he would be exactly the type of player we require... I remember Michael Owen saying he was one of the best strikers he's played alongside as he manages to create space for his strike partner to exploit which would help our strikers immensely however shame it's all a dream...

[Asps]

It's Darius.

Perhaps he can give us the X factor

Is this another Heskey type rumour?

No, from a very, very good source

Someone on FF.net, a Plymouth fan, said he is supposed to be signing for them early next week, thats why I ask mate. We will see, I hope you are right though bud.

[Cuzo24]

i will run up and down in dancing kev mode if its heksey. heskey and brandy up top mmmmmmmmmmmmm

[JonnyOwen]

Someone posted a picture with Vassell on twitter with hashtag "Villa." Doubt he will sign for them :lol: But even more promising because it means he is in the area!
