I'm taking this as a clever joke at Big Sam's lack of under 30 signings? :lol:

I'm suprised nobody has mentioned Bradley Wright-Phillips... He's scoring in goals for fun this season for Charlton. He's scored 14 league goals already. Surely he could replace Piq... It's him or Zaha for me.

Zaha for me
Completely forgot about him, that's a good shout if he can be anything like Moses has been for Wigan it will be a good signing.

Ryan Hall at Southend is sposed to be pretty decent. Scored 8 goals and has 10 assists so far this season. Heard he is too good for league 2

Don't think he's loyal though, played for too many clubs, Charlton, Chelsea, Newcastle, West Ham and Tottenham would also have high wages and is getting towards the end of his career but that Kieran Dyer fellow could be worth a punt.

Talk her in Germany. We're in for Chong Tese of Bochum. Typical number 9 striker. His contract runs out in june and his club wants to cash him in in january. Leicester and Blackburn are also monitoring his situation. Sam wanted to sign him in august, but he couldn't get rid of Piq and Tese went injured so the deal was on hold!

talking of germany, anyone know how hitzlsperger is getting on?

also regards this new ferdinand... what is his main position? Never seen him myself, but if he is central mid, surely we got lansbury back by the new year, let alone the numbers we already have for there! I like the look of celik though if we do have a chance, we need some flair, someone that can just create something from nothing..

Barely played. Not sure if it's due to injury though.

I dont know why we've kept lansbury he hasn't exactly been a stellar performer for us?

I like the look of Zaha, but would also like robert hall to be given a chance.

Id say keep the money for the summer when we are spending to compete in the big league

Disappointed to hear that BFS's main target is Andy Johnson. We have a younger, hungrier and evidently less injury prone player in Baldock who is in great form. Perhaps AJ on a one year deal, but why would he leave Fulham for a contract like that? This sort of deal worries me like the Benni Mac one.

We need left back cover unless BFS is brave enough to play some youngsters there (my preference) - If not then Ridgewell seems a likely target being comfortable at CB and LB.

I feel the only other thing we need to add to our side is pace. So at least one winger that can operate from either side. 2 if we have the money to go for a lefty and a righty. Or BFS could pull his finger out, build for the future and start throwing in Hall, Montano and Nouble. Fed up of these stupid short loan periods for youngsters with clear potential when players like Carew and Piq simply don't look interested.

I like the look of Zaha and Williams, the two young lads at Palace. They look like becoming fantastic players in the next year or two.
Also, Jordan Rhodes at Huddersfield is absolutely brilliant. I think Celtic are in for him, though.

First priority should be to offer Green, Tomkins new deals. Also Faubert, because he has really improved no end this season under Sam.
