Gignac and Andre Ayew both out of contract at Marseille would be my top 2 targets if I was planning summer transfers. Both have the quality we lack in our squad and without having to pay a transfer fee we could afford their wage demands. As unlikely as it is coming to fruition, a strikeforce of Gignac and Berahino with Ideye as backup would almost guarantee survival on its own.

Tony Pulis has added Newcastle attacker Sammy Ameobi to his list of summer transfer targets at West Bromwich Albion. The Hawthorns manager is keen to take Ameobi on a free transfer but will face competition from Everton and Real Sociedad, who are managed by David Moyes.

Ameobi is expected to end a seven-year association with Newcastle at the end of the season and with no imminent prospect of a new contract on the table, Pulis is ready to move for the 22-year-old as he attempts to inject more pace into his attack.

Ameobi, the younger brother of former Newcastle forward Shola, has also been targeted by Moyes for a move to Spain but the opportunity to stay in the Premier League would undoubtedly appeal.

Albion are scouring Europe for potential signings and Dave Kemp, Pulis's assistant, flew to Italy to watch two Serie A games on Sunday.

The club's immediate focus, however, is on avoiding relegation to the Championship after suffering three successive defeats. Pulis faces a trip to former club Crystal Palace this weekend insisting there is still work to be done.

Oh great, Sammy Ameobi, a Newcastle reject who is pure gash. Get the summer business off to a cracker as usual.

Let me throw 2 names into the Hat for recruitment in the Summer:
1) Alex Tetty (Norwich--if they don't get Promotion). Good Holding Midfielder & can Score the odd Goal.
2) Michael Hector (Reading). Did really well against Arsenal. 6' 4" and very Pacey. Signed a 2 year deal last year for them. I am sure JP can persuade SC to part with Him Smile

No to Tettey, no improvement on what we have there now and it's our best area. Maybe Hector though.
