I'll take all their young players too.

They have an outstanding batch currently.

Haven't they sold their best 2 to Man City & Barcelona? Not a bad set up if teams like that are knocking on the door.

Louie Barry to Barcelona I think. Might be another one to City. For peanuts I'm sure, thanks to the brilliant system.

Others are Ferguson, Edwards and Rayhaan Tulloch as well as Field, Leko and Harper who most will already know.

Incredible haul for them over the last few years. There was Berahino too.
 
Just been thinking about who we might sign as competition/back-up for Baldock in the summer if we decide to move K.Freeman on, and it got me thinking about Matt Philips - he's typically a right winger, but I think he'd adapt well to playing RWB, and would provide another energetic option in centre-mid, too.

West Brom look likely to go up, so maybe they'd be reluctant to sell - but he's only come off the bench in the last 6 games, while Robinson has thrived for them since going out on loan, playing as an inside forward on the left which his game is better suited to. So perhaps a swap deal involving Phillips and Robinson in the summer could work well for both parties?
 
Blimey this thread’s been running for the best part of ten years. I really don’t think it’s likely we’ll sign him now. We’ve moved on, haven't we?

Don't think "moved on" has anything to do with it - him signing for us now would be completely different to had we signed him a decade ago; then, he'd have been our star player, at a much lower level, now he'd be a good squad player, at a much higher level.

Besides, we resigned Billy 6 years after we sold him (for the 2nd time), and that didn't work out too badly!

Not for me, thanks. I reckon that the way we progress now should be by upgrading the first team, not by adding to the squad.

If Baldock got injured for a medium/long period of time, I wouldn't have particular confidence in Freeman to fill his boots. I think improving squad depth is a vital part of progressing as a club, because even with our players' excellent conditioning, there's no guarantee one of our key men won't suffer a freak season-ending injury, and should that happen, having quality back-up is necessary if we don't want our season to be derailed. I'm quite happy with our depth in most positions, but I would like to see an upgrade on Freeman in the summer for that reason

Ideally we sign a player with the potential to be better than Baldock. It’s unlikely we’ll find one who’s already better, who would join us and wouldn’t want huge wages. I think that’s generally the case with most of our players.
 
I’d go Henderson then MGW , honourable shout for BBD and Coady and I loved Andy Reid for the month especially his goal away v Millwall , won me money it did lol ! Also adored Glynn Hodges so sold loads of sweepstake tickets to my grandma!! Told her they were for school ha !
As ever UTB!
