All we need to do is mock up a signing announcement and the press will be all over it :lol:

Not sure whether we need just to be looking abroad, to be fair theres plenty of talent in the lower leagues from what I've seen. I've seen Crewe a couple of times lately and they've got some very good young players. Nick Powell, whos already attracted the attention of all the big boys and a nippy little lad called Max Clayton who scored at Southend last night and could easily cut it at a higher level. Both are well worth a look, although Powell might be out of our price range if we don't win Saturday. (Chelsea offered £2m at the start of the season and he's bagged 18gls since then).

Please god not Paul Robinson - worst keeper in the premier league.

We will be linked with (and will probably get) Kenwyn Jones from Stoke. That is the summer we have to look forward to. :?

If West Ham are looking for a bargain. Chris Forrester from St.Patricks Athletic is storming the Irish league. Yes i know its the Irish league but he is having the same impact James McLean did when at Derry who has been brilliant for Sunderland. He will get a move over to England. Watch this space... He would be only a few hundread grand.

Excellent shout, whichever league we're in. A good character to have around too it seems.

And mark my words, Sonny Kittel is going to make it bigtime. Buy and loanback and give Frankfurt a percentage of sell on (it won't work otherwise, Eintracht know exactly that they've got a little diamond they've got there, but they are strapped for cash and need to strengthen the squad).

Spuds and l'Arse seem to do this stuff a lot, we seem to be too focused on the present.
Frankfurt won't sell Kittel at this stage of his career.

Can our resident kit designer re-do that blue away kit, but from the back with Kaka - 10 on it - obviously saving space for the Premier League badges. :raver:

I think that we probably need to establish which division we'll be in before this question can be answered.

(Also, Kaka? Do me a favour!)

Yeah, the opening post does mention there is the small matter of a play off final for us, but for many other clubs, their season is over and the summer has began.

Jelavic has urged Everton to go for Naismith. Could he do a job for us?

Marko Marin is going to get pimp slapped all over the Premier League next year. Going to be fun to watch.
