  For me, if Ash goes, then we should get N'Zogbia, full stop.

  Have to say , i have been very impressed with Juniour Holliet as well everytime i see him, and i can would'nt be too disappointed if Adam came.

  Have to say i was advocating Scott Parker before he went to Noocastle, but he won't come to us.Did'nt think Bradley was too bad when he came on.

Agree with N'Zogbia although he seems to be a bit of a nomad.

Adam would be good for getting Bent in for goals and such but most reports until recently glossed over that he is a liability when defending or when he hasn't got the ball. And he can make Petrov and Barry look like a 100m champion. There is a big reason that Blackpool score 3 and let in 4 and Adam is a big part of that being in CM.

Can't see Bradley stopping as he is only on loan and has not made the bench most times.

Thought he was a left winger although maybe he can play both positions.

A bargain then 2 players for the price of 1

Olsson is left midfield normally.
Parker - possibly too old?
AY is off to L''The Mighty Reds YNWA' so we should use the money to stiffen up the defence / GK before we look at wingers and strikers.
Weimann will back up MB and GA next season.

Hangeland would be a great signing (If only as a thankyou to him).  Always impressed by him. He's solid, composed and a big threat at set pieces.

He's probably Arsenal bound though.

Demba Ba has scored 7 goals in 11 games, he's 6' 2" and would be a great replacement for Carew & Heskey. He only cost the spammers £3m so shouldn't break the bank now they're down!

Didn't the pugfaced ****** have him here on a trial and then said he wasn't good enough?

If we don't sign Kyle Walker this summer I will be VERY annoyed. Another superb performance by him today. I barely noticed Arshavin today.

I don't think we'll have the choice unfortuately! He'll be Spuds first choice next season.

Rob Green let N'Zogbias' shot squirm under him for the winner today.

I don't post that much, but I feel it's my duty to hammer home the point that under no circumstances should we employ this man, in the hope that someone from the club will be reading and take note.

We could do some sort of deal which perhaps could include A.Young? I don't want A.Young to go but I'd really love us to sign Walker. He's been great this season. Quick, smart, techinically very good and loves getting forward.

It seems like he enjoys playing for us.

think we should go after Nzogbia personally this summer, thought he looked good at VP, and has an eye for goals,  hopefully still have a chunk of change from Ash's transfer fee too.

Walkers performance today was an improvement on last weekend. He is still a bit "headless chicken" going forward sometimes. I would be happy enough if we signed him but he still has a lot to learn. ..hopefully he will from the new defensive coach that we really, really need to appoint in the summer.

I'm looking at:

out: Warnock, Beye, A Young, Heskey, Carew, Ireland (although annoyingly he's almost exactly the player we need to play in a 4-3-3!) - £26m

in: keeper, Walker if at all possible though I doubt it, Samba / Johnson, Olsson, N'Zogbia, Ba, attacking midfielder (not sure who) - £45m.
