Have to disagree.....We are not going to go the whole season with Buts and Smith playing every game. Injury's and suspensions and then what? Beevers as stand in? Another good CB is def a requirement.


Requirement maybe, but not a priority considering we have positions in the team where we don't have ANY senior players contracted.

I'd be more interested in Matt Oakley (same article) but we could always be cheeky and offer DV a pay as you play....

I'm sure that as he's over 24 and didn't benefit from our youth training that we'll receive a large sum from the tribunal. :mrgreen:

Cant see us making any signings until July.

Contracts are not up until 30th June, Deano wont know who we have got to work with.

I think he will have an idea of who he wants to sign and will start making moves towards mid-June, well I hope so anyway, we cant afford to be 2 weeks behind everyone else again.

After watching socceraid we should sign Serge Pizorno, what a goal! And he could do a fund raising concert in the close season!

Florent signs new deal with Stoke:
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news ... -down-Boro

Apparently Middlesbrough were attempting to sign him, so that's Smith, Ledesma and Cuvelier they're after!

Realistically I suppose this will see Stoke sending him out on loan to championship club at some point next season, booo

Lee Holmes has signed for Preston. That's him out of the equation then. :(

What equation is that?

one year contract + cheap wage = useless player?

Lee Holmes never fitted into that equation!

Think some of our fans need to start lowering their sights a little. Our squad will be assembled with a budget that the board hopes will enable us to finish in 20th place.Have a look who has been released by league 2 clubs on a free and then start picking from them.

How many players 'released by league 2 clubs on a free' did we sign last year? Or the year before? Get a grip.

Gary Roberts released by promoted Hudderfield. Could be worth a shout. I've always rated him a good league 1 winger but not up to the championship I would think.

Surprised at Williamson, he was a handful against us from what I remember.

Maybe it's something to do with high wages they can't sustain? Or is he cack?

Exactly, don't accept Walsall being cack either, we never used to be cack and stayed in this league with ease, and still can.

Huddersfield have released their centre back Nathan Clarke, always been a solid back up to Peter Clarke for them and if Smith dont sign we've got one proper centre back in Butler. There's no chance we'l get Roberts, he's on 5k+ a week up there and still fancies himself. Swindon or Notts County wouldn't surprise me for them.
