[Football] Close season signings- who is on Chris Hughton's (realistic) wishlist?

[DavidinSouthampton]

What, have I missed something, has Moo-ey been the stand out player for Huddersfield or has he rather disappeared from view?

He was their Man of the match against Citeh.....

 

[Bold Seagull]

Mawson could be suffering his 2nd relegation from the PL in as many years, I wouldn’t want him

Massively overrated because he played well in a few games at the end of last season.

 

[Surf's Up]

Assuming Swansea get relegated would love to sign Ki-Sung Yueng a classy central midfielder who weighs in with 5-10 goals a season and has a superb engine. Also IF Dunk goes would go in for Alfie Mawson.

Both were rubbish last night in a crucial game for their team - no thank you

 

[Randsta]

Yaya? could do a job I think!?!?

 

[jasetheace]

A rotating front 4 of Murray, Locadia, Ings and Andone would be rather good I feel...

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Another commanding central player who would really give us strength in depth in midfield. However a more attacking option who could provide competition for Groß would be Lewis Holtby who never really got a proper chance at Spurs and has a 1-in-3 record in Germany this year.

That's a good shout and one I considered. Premier League experience with Fulham & Spurs plus Bundesliga. Ever since Hollerbach was sacked from Hamburg, he's been key in getting them from a hopeless relegation position to having a chance of escaping on the last day - even if that chance is remote. Hollerbach clearly had it in for Holtby at Hamburg, barely getting a look in. Hollerbach was Felix Magaths assistant at Schalke & Fulham. Holtby asked to leave both due to Magath.

On the assumption that Hamburg probably go down, he could well be looking to move on and be a realistic target.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh

Was on our radar before now probably the stand out player in Eredivisie. Now we are a premier league club could he be tempted?

Why not Genki Haraguchi if we're revisiting past target?

I know it's the 'way' but why do we need 2 senior pros to cover for Matt Ryan?

We don't, but I don't think we're allowed to say that.

 

[Machiavelli]

I know it's the 'way' but why do we need 2 senior pros to cover for Matt Ryan?

If one gets injured or suspended, who would you put on the bench? If you wouldn't, what would you do if the replacement goalkeeper gets injured or sent off during a game?
Them's the reasons why it is the way.

 

[Stat Brother]

Is it the position you'd leave to chance, esp when the 3rd pro must be the lowest paid member of the 25.

 

[GT49er]

Yes, and the third one can get injured or sent off too. Better have four then..............

 

[Albion in the north]

CM - Leander Dendoncker from Andelecht (if we don't get Delaney)
RW - Gastón Pereiro from PSV
AM - Zakaria Labyad from Utrecht
CB - Joe Worrall from Nottingham Forrest
FW - Michael Gregoritsch from Augsburg

Some great names for Scrabble

Some great names for Scrabble

Not so great for Warren though......

 

[Randsta]

As long as they’re taller than Ryan, I don’t think it’ll matter.

Yeah we better not sign Messi!!!

 

[blue'n'white]

Now that Swansea are all but gone how about Ki Sung- Yeung - I thought he looked OK when we played them or was he merely the best of a bad bunch ?

 

[Machiavelli]

Yes, and the third one can get injured or sent off too. Better have four then..............

So, you're advocating that we go ahead with only two goalkeepers in our 25 man squad next season. That would make us an outlier, at the very least.

Obviously going onto the Swansea board is a bit sensitive at the moment but from what I've read, it sounds like they don't rate him at all.
