promoted clubs possible released players

These are not the players we need/want. Complete opposite.

The spine of the side, has to be able to hack it in the top flight. Not players rejected. It is like looking in dustbins for leftover scraps. (I never thought we should have signed Grabban! (or Baldock for that matter!)

Ambitious youngsters from lower divisions or abroad are the order of the day. Possibly players who are not going to make the first team with the top 6 PL sides.

The only possible exception is of a club has overdosed on wingers or another peripheral position e.g. Middlesbro have

Emilio Nsue
Yanic Wildschut
Albert Adomah
Emmanuel Ledesma
Mustapha Carayol
Lee Tomlin

The ones in bold might be worth considering. I think we only need four at most wide men:

Solly March
Kazenga Lualua
Jeffrey Monakana

So we need another wide player and Boro have got a surplus*. Even if some of those are not out and out wingers.

*Arguable if they ditch Ledesma and Carayol signs a new contract?

The players these teams will release will not be in their starting 11s but ones who couldn't make the team.


I think we should steer clear of them, and sign proven first teamers.

Other than Solly the other 2 aren't good enough - Kazenga blows hot and co

Although the sentiment is sound, we cannot afford to do that for EVERY position. Those first teamers we'd like won't be motivated to play at Championship level, because it would mean them waving their Premier League career goodbye. But a competitive wage structure would attract the fringe players who would still have something to prove in foottball, especially when it comes to 'owning' a promotion / winning an honour in the game. And surely Hughton has enough experience to make a demotivated player regain his motivation to play. It's a team game, and we need the right people, team players, not individuals who look good on paper but don't gel.

Bobby Z has nothing to prove anymore, so I cannot ever see him in a Championship squad, plus time is not on his side. He'll want to bow out at the top level of the game.

What we need isn't a 'Bobby Z at 34', we need a 'Bobby Z at 19, rejected by Ian Holloway, and with a point to prove' attitude player.

My view is that a number who made the first team for both Watford and Bournemouth probably wont make the step up and they will bring in others I was just suggesting speculation and views on who people thought would fall into that category as most other football chat is nearly finished for a couple of months. Sorry if anybody thought it pointless.

Nope, he's still a Udinese player, Watford did sign him on loan with a view to making it permanent.
