Think Gignac and Ayew are way out of our league and that is probably right they'll end up at someone like Spurs or Arsenal

[wba_1996]

Think we will be looking at cherry-picking the best players from the relegated clubs, there is a lot of dross at these clubs but some are worth looking at:

Burnley - Throw our hat in for Ings but he is likely to have better options. Trippier is an excellent RB and I would love to see him sign
QPR - As with Ings, Austin will have better options but we should try anyway. Caulker has potential, Pulis wanted him at Palace and could mould him into a good centre back, potential McAuley replacement. Phillips would be a good option on the wing.
Leicester - Ulloa, Schlupp, Mahrez and Kramaric would all offer decent competition and are good ages.
Hull - I'd honestly steer clear of their whole squad bar Robertson who is a quality LB.
Sunderland - Wouldn't take a single player.

A few of the above, add in some of the best prospects in the Championship and a couple of marquee signings from abroad (Gignac) and we may have a half-exciting squad.

Not even Defoe 96?

Not saying he'd be my top choice but Wickham would be an potential improvement on Big Vic still young enough and has shown flashes of what he could do think he could well work in a Pulis side....
Am i right in saying Lee Cattermole nearly signed for Stoke while Pulis was in charge but fell through at the 11th hour? If Sunderland went down i wouldn't be surprised if that was another target he may re visit

I don't expect much in the way of accurate paper talk now Lepkowski is working for the club
because he was the only journo to come out with anything half decent. And even then he
was wrong much of the time.

The one player i'd like to see us go for if Leicester go down is Riyad Mahrez. He's pretty much
been their stand out player whenever I've seen them. He can create, chip in with a goal and
actually gets forward from open play. Right sort of age too.

I wouldn't bother judging Leicester players as I think that they will probably stay up.

Saw some very exciting players on TV last night; unfortunately they were playing for Barca!

Not even Defoe 96?

He'll be 33 a month after the season starts, and at £70k a week we should look elsewhere. Before Sunderland signed him was the time we should have been looking at him.

I just hope that whoever we sign,the Supporters will actually get to see them play next Season!

Last Summers transfer window ended up with nearly half a squad who hardly played for the first Team.A sad reflection on our recent recruitment activities!
