Player Suggestion Anis Mehmeti

[ChipButtyBlade]

12 goals this season including a pen against us..can play left or right or thru the middle in midfield,begins the last year of his contract next season.

 

[Thrice]

He's been good for Bristol City, but he doesn't seem to be good enough for the Albanian national team. Is that the type of player who takes us to the next level? I doubt it, tbh.

 

[brownblade]

Good player but I'm not sure he's a Premier League player.
Edit: Worth considering when we lose the playoffs.

 

[Tazzy]

If and its a big if we go up who can we get that's realistically prem quality if we are looking in the championship. I cant think of any what will help us stay up

Maybe Tanganga from Millwall? Chakvetadze from Watford maybe.
Ben Sheaf from Coventry is pretty good too. Keeps the streak of buying their best players going.

Can't think of many more that would realistically make a difference.

It’s a good point it’s not a strong market for top players standing out on teams that aren’t in the running for promotion.

If we make the assumption that the end promotion results are very chalky and the top 3 teams go up Leeds, Us and Burnley and the young players getting hype at Sunderland go higher than the newly promoted teams so Rigg and Bellingham go higher than us and we don’t count players on loan to the championship from prem teams then it’s looking pretty sparse but there are some I’d look at.

Murphy at Portsmouth is one I’d look at he’s put in some very impressive performances this year and we will need wingers in the summer if we continue with this formation. His brother has kicked on in the prem and maybe he’s just the later developer of the two.

Hume from Sunderland at right back we’ll need to add at least one maybe two in the summer he’s a good age at 23 and has established himself at the top of the division for Sunderland.

Azaz maybe from Boro if we want another attacking midfield option.

Where we’ll really struggle to recruit domestically is at CB and upfront as there aren’t any real standout championship options. Do you pay big money for Isidor from Sunderland on a small sample size and hope it works?

At CB I’d be chasing Doyle at City but you’ll be paying City prices for him.

We have to look for good big athletic players and i dont see any in that mould in the champ

Would take Hume from Sunderland if we go up and they fail to. Young, good going forward and loves a tackle (and card!)

 

[The Fox]

I sometimes browse the BBC football gossip site, it's pretty much PL clubs looking at buying foreign players . Can only assume that PL clubs don't consider championship players good enough, or too expensive.
Buying seasoned or proven PL players on daft wages is out probably not realistic either . Seams the way is trying to find some undiscovered genius somewhere abroad . We've tried that before too to an extent .
Probably why the PL is becoming a cartel that's difficult to break into .
Off course this is dependent on promotion.
If it's the case it's going to be an interesting summer seeing what kind of strategy applies this time .

Sargent is the obvious one to me. He’s scored goals at that level before.

First !
We could only afford Mrs Doyle from Father Ted ! Ah,go on,go on,go on wiv ya .

Gap between Championship and and Prem is widening every year.

There's not alot of players who could step up and make a difference from the Champ these days imho.

Agree. There’s the odd one or two - n’daiye, Berge for us previously. This year, maybe Bellingham and the Center half at Burnley look like they’ve got that pedigree. Hamer maybe. But you’re already paying top dollar 25-35m for those players if they’re in contract and they’re unlikely to go to newly promoted teams anyway. There will be others who have the potential but you have to accept that it may not work in the Prem. If you come back down you’re well set up though - Seargent, Rudoni, Hume, Murphy would all be good and realistic signings imo.

Cooper, Hamer and Campbell are capable in the PL.

 

[Groucho Blade]

IF we do go up, we’re going to need some new defenders…preferably ones with decent PL experience. They’re not going to come cheap. Wonder if Kyle or Harry fancy a challenge…but we obviously can’t pay them the fortunes to which they’re accustomed
It’s not going to be easy.

Forest took a gamble and it paid off. If it doesn't come off there is a fire sale. Do you stick or twist??
