frank_spencer Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Djourou is a funny one. I have know idea how he gets a game for arsenal. I agree but arsenals record with him in the side is much better than without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrp Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 You're right, we're aiming too low, trying to get the best from the relegated teams. Arsenal will be letting a few go, how about Arshavin, Nasri & Djourou? numpty point went over your head then did it for the retards like yourself, maybe, just maybe some of our players arnt as bad as our fans make out wonder if birmingham fans would swap them players with some of our 'shit'? maybe just maybe injuries and a small squad fucked us spending millions on some of the shit suggested on here is not the answer. any more wisecracks that miss the point?

Personally I'd rather us spend the summer looking for new players who would (i) bolster the squad and (ii) improve the starting XI. IMO Johnson and Gardner would do that.

Members itk_FACT Posted May 23, 2011 Members Share Posted May 23, 2011 So you want to spend 10 - 15 million on bolstering the squad with Johnson and gardner? I don?t know what they?d cost ? I?d expect around ?5m for Johnson & ?3m for Gardner. Johnson yes. As for Gardner ? he?s young, is a midfielder with energy, knows where the back of the net is (scored twice against us this season) and has 2+ years Premier League experience. If S Davis is not going to come back the player he was - then yes, this retard considers him a realistic target for BWFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter only1swanny Posted May 23, 2011 Site Supporter Share Posted May 23, 2011 maybe old news but we have been linked with Mathias Jorgensen from Copenhagen also apparently the fee for Sturridge being bounded about mid last season was 10m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter HomerJay Posted May 23, 2011 Site Supporter Share Posted May 23, 2011 3m for a midfielder that just score 10 goals? plus he a bluenose, so be suprised if he left, even though they are relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarian1979 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Id take Johnson, theyd want silly money though which i wouldnt pay. Lad at reading, Mills i think, if they dont beat Swansea may be worth a punt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReebokBear Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Gardner scores goals but doesn't have much of an all-round game. Birmingham will probably want to keep him, but if they sell him they'll want at least 6 million. I'd rather have Pratley on a free and see what he can do. He has more to his general play, even if he's not great. Birmingham went down because they're not very good. Their defence was a well organised unit, but the individual players are not brilliant. I'd take Martins though, as he was only on loan and we could use some pace. He's not top-drawer, but he'd score a few. Depends on his wages.

gudnisson Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 There is very little between all the bottom half sides. We have been slightly more consistent than the relegated teams but they still have a few good players. I would definitely take Johnson, Ridgewell or Gardner as they could all improve our squad. If you think we should be aiming higher then fine but this is a realistic shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodwhite Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Why all the complaints about "average". How did we do in the league? Below average i think. A couple of average players may just possibly be an improvement of what we have oh - and thats probably all we could afford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Carlos Cuellar would be a good shout, if Houllier staysd at Villa then there would be a chance as he has had a fall out with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReebokBear Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Nugent and Bothroyd. I genuinely hope not. Coyle has called for the backing to get some younger players in, which would be preferable. After a career doing nothing, Bothroyd knocks in a few in the Championship and suddenly he's the second coming. Signing him would be a massive risk, as he's essentially Carlton Cole with less Premier League experience. He could do a job, or just be another slogger who doesn't score enough goals. We don't play 4-5-1 any more; we need goal scorers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't play 4-5-1 any more; we need goal scorers. Seen as we have the best part of fuck all strikers then IMO we will need a few free transfers as well as looking to buy 1 or 2. Bothroyd has got 41 in 116 games (wiki) for Cardiff which is a pretty good record (I know it's the championship), but for me it's not much of a gamble to get a 28 year old striker that is in the best form of his life and just got an England call up for free. Unless he wants ridiculous wages then I can't see a problem in us signing him tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I can see both sides of the argument. I'd take Nugent and/or Bothroyd as well as a decent signing: not instead of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
