John Flanagan, the answer to our right back problem. Yarmolenko has signed a contract unfortunately.....

The fact I absolutely hate Glenn Johnson means we will sign him, I just know it.

You could make a decent side out of that little lot...

Khouma Babacar looks a right handful whenever I've seen him. Would be surprised if Fiorentina haven't tied him down to a new contract though.

Adama Traoré is under contract until 2018

All the names have been taken from a couple of articles, I already left a few off (eg Delph, Gerrard) so I assumed a few would have resigned with their clubs.
Traore and Bakkali should right up out street. We need a new right back in the summer, so Abate or Richards would be brilliant.

Flanagan, Noble and Mulumbu would really be worth a try I think! Thought Flanagan did a very good job for Lpool last season, and we really need a new right back in my opinion!  |

Yarmolenko has a new contract to 2016

Too many average players on high wages in that list. That commons looks useful  |

Wouldn't surprise me if we have lined up a few of those players. That seems to be the market we are shopping in at the moment.

Flanagan or Richards - we need a right back
whickham - fairly young English strikers whos been wasted at sunderland
bakkalli - young and very talented winger
milner - I would use milner to replace Glenda in center mid but doubt we could get him
if we could get any of these I would be very pleased.

James Milner works as hard as Jon Walters. Good player. Wouldn't mind him!

Lot of names there we would love but couldn't really afford, or attract for that matter. Hard to believe the likes of Goran Pandev are up there at only 31. A few years ago, he was going to be the next big thing. I wonder where it all went wrong. Huntelaar is a terrific player, surely they'll sort that contract out.

Arteta?? Plays for arsenal but cant deny he has talent. Still think he's a twat though.

Hector Bellerin please.

I'll settle for Dani Alves and Huntelaar.

Abate would be a stellar addition, in the Pieters mould (generally good all round but can be prone to the odd positional lapse) but quicker.

Post by slicko on Feb 23, 2015 17:46:47 GMT
Zakaria Bakkali, Adama Traore and a few others we have been linked with in that list.
Sparky will deliver.

The defeatist in me says we haven't a cat in hell's chance of signing Milner.
In fact NO.........the REALIST in me says exactly the same.

Flanagan is a very good shout. Would like him very much.
Richards I would like much more! Don't know whether we could compete with those who will be interested.
Wickham would be a good signing too.

We could pair Cole with Zamora.
