AM'S first three signings?

[TheSandman]

Who out of the top five or six is going to want Sturridge?

Man United - Rooney, Hernandes, Berbatov and Owen
Arsenal - Maybe but buying him is not their style.
Man City - Not enough of a finished article for them. Burned his bridges when he left.
Liverpool - Suarez, Carroll and Kuyt
Tottenham - Maybe but they have a few strikers already and seem to want to cut costs.
Everton - No money.

On top of that Chelsea probably see us as less of a rival than the others. They won't sell to United, Arsenal or Liverpool. The reasons he won't sigh for us are either based on Chelsea being keen to keep him or because we might not want him or we don't have the money. Maybe we could take him on loan?

And N'Zogbia? The only clubs who seem to be interested are Newcastle and Sunderland. He really is not as good as some on here make out.

Dann, Barton, N'Zogbia

If I was the candle wax bloke, I'd be expecting to lose Modric to Chelsea, I'd be asking for at least thirty mill, plus young Sturridge.  I can see him doing a good job anywhere he goes.  Would be brilliant next to Darren Bent.

I can't see Blues wanting to do much business with us now so would take silly money to get Dann or Foster, so I would look else where.

Cahill,Given and Pavlyuchenko.

[JUAN PABLO]

I think Roman, Ben Foster and N'Zogbia will be first three signing.

Id go with this

[tommy_boy]

Danny Simpson, Charlie Adam and Ben Foste rwill be the first three

Cahill,Given and Pavlyuchenko.

Blues will have no choice other than to do business on two counts - £40m financial 'black-hole' & (unfortunately for our beloved game) player power.

Wouldn't want any of their shite other that Foster btw.

[Big Dick Edwards]

McLeish's first signing needs to be a major one, maybe even the new team captain given Young is on his way. Charlie Adam would fit the bill.

Next, a new keeper is a priority. Ben Foster would be good if Blues are prepared to do business with him, otherwise Craig Gordon might be worth a punt.

Third, a full back. Either Walker or Hutton would be good signings.

Foster is hugely overrated. People only think he's any good because he's one of a minute number of even vaguely competent English keeprs. If he was Hungarian or something, he'd be playing in the Champo.

Quite why anyone would prefer Foster over Given is a mystery to me.

Funny really as I think Given is a touch overrated. There's not a lot to choose between the two as far as I'm concerned.

They're businessmen. They'll sell if it's worth their while. I also think the ladies doth protest too much as far as the Blues are concerned. I think they're quite happy for Eck to come to us, especially for a couple of million quid. This indignation is just an act to keep the great unwashed sweet.

[N'Zimidy]

Foster > McGregor > Given in terms of ability.

McGregor > Foster > Given in terms of cheapness.

Wouldn't mind seeing McGregor or Foster. It all depends on how much money we've got left after the transfers and how much money Randy is going to give AM. I personally think that McGregor will be good enough for a cheap price so we can concentrate on getting some full-backs and midfielders.

[Ray Graydon]

Foster - Some noses think he was dodgy towards the end of the season but I think he's a top keeper.

Cahill - Would love him back as I still can't believe we let him go. Great defender who scores the odd goal

Rodwell - would be a really good signing but i dont think we have a snowballs of getting him

[Greg N'Ash]

I don't know if this has broken but NRC was going to sign for the blose so i wouldn't be surprised if he's coming back
