I'd take Sidders back for a year
I feel dirty for saying it but I probably would too if we're shopping on a budget again. Surely no more than 2-3 million.

If we've loosened the purse strings a bit or have been taken over, I'd be looking at better though.

The Steve Sidwell that has been an integral player for Fulham throughout their relegation season?

He was a great defender four years ago.

A good defender two years ago.

An absolute liability for most of this season.

watch a couple of the goals at the weekend and Hangeland looks like a lamppost  just watching the action go by him. For a big bloke he had decent feet and was quite quick three years back. When the quickness goes, he's not much more than a spectator.

Zaha, from Cardiff/man yew, Holtby from spurs.  That's probably it.  If Lamberts is still here, no doubts we'll take Wes H from Norwich too.

Fegouhli from Valencia if we get taken over?

Saw him play for Valencia at Stoke a few years back and he was the best player on the pitch, in great form at the minute.

Forget Lambert, he's gone as soon as we have new owners. And when we do, we won't be fishing around the relegated clubs for their ship jumpers. It's time to look up rather than down.

On a beach somewhere with a few million of quid of Aston Villa's money in his bank account.

If you're in for Sidwell you may aswell take Aaron Hughes whilst there aswell

dont forget Craig Gardner, he is available on a free this summer I think.......

Sounds like a lot of posters who want all these players from Cardiff, Fulham and Norwich have been brainwashed by Lerners 0% ambition policy.

Andros Townsend is reportedly available at the end of the season, been linked with a swap deal for Lallana plus cash at Southampton.

The type of player we need to start targeting again. Young, but with a bit of quality.  Though our success rate when it comes to signing Tottingham players (and getting anything like the best out of them) is pretty dire. 

Understand the concerns about Caulker too, but if he was available at say £5-6 million, I'd be interested.  He would be an improvement on Clark and Baker straight off.

I'd be tempted to have a look at Donacien over those pair.  I'd also look at Gardner, Grealish and Robinson in front of some of the other squad members as well.

Carruthers too. Now he's an attacking midfielder we could have done with a lot this season. Either way we have a very big squad with not many decent players. We could shift out 10 players and not be hurt one iota.

Centre half a cheeky loan bid for Kalas at Chelsea looks an absolute diamond, would not fork out what they will want for Bertrand thou, think there will be better value available.

Yes he has fully contributed to their miserable status.
