I hope we can get rid of some of the deadwood who are wasting wages and money ie Diouf, Norris, Green, Brown, Varney, Ashdown, Warnock and Drury. Obviously whether anyone wants them is another matter.

I think we need a holding midfielder in the centre, I'd consider looking abroad for a player with better technique and passing range. We also need some pace in the midfield badly, especially centrally, rather than just hoofing it around and we need a better replacement for when we rest Alex (Brown just isn't good enough). We need a big powerful goalscorer too, either John Guidetti on loan or look at Chris Wood from Leicester, as he's a bit part player from them nowadays. Kenny is almost 36 and made some costly errors this year, I think we should look at a new GK. Butland, if available, on loan would be great, otherwise maybe look abroad again, like when we found Casper.

Just my thoughts :)

yeah,,couldn't work out how to spell it or be bothered to remember his first name...I currently have the names of several hundred college prospects about to enter the NFL using up all my available RAM and that's forcing out the names of second rate footballers names from my memory..

Could be a solution if you have an available/suitable orifice.

That could be an issue for a footballer.

Young winger, just what the egg ordered. 3 goals in 16 matches this season so far with Charlton. Any opinions of him from our match against them?

Max is NOT coming.

St Etienne coach Christophe Galtier says the French club will look to keep Max Gradel for the rest of the season following the latest attempt by Leeds United to bring the winger back to Elland Road.

Max has also posted a "sorry not happening" tweet this evening.

He could be a totally different player with a fresh start under McDermott, did Stewart come out of the scum academy ?
If so the lad will be technically good on the ball

Maybe Steve Bruce is getting the best out of Alex as oppose to Grayson who was clueless when it came down to the art of defending

Two seasons in scum 1st team squad according to the font of crap that is wiki :roll: - then sent on loan to Yeovil :shock:

I don't think Maccy D is the kind of manager to make rash signings. He's been a scout for too long. Obviously sees summat in the lad. Here's hoping.
