Bristolatic Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) It's pretty obvious from various threads that the general consensus of opinion is that we need another keeper and at least one more CB. Not having seen any pre-season, I'll go with the majority and take it as read. According to the PFA website, these are available. So, provided we could afford the wages and they were willing to come to BP, who would you have? These are my opinions, for what they're worth. Dorus De Vries (Swansea) - One of the best when in L1 imo Nicky Weaver (Charlton) - may just fancy a return to the North West Andy Marshall (Coventry) - Lots of experience. May be on trial at QPR, but not sure. Sol Campbell (Portsmouth) A bit old, but would do a job in L1 Jonathan Fortune (Charlton) - Good enough for Championship imo. Released because of relegation? Danny Mills (Citeh) - mainly a RB, but is capable of playing at CB Sam Sodje (Reading) - Good L1 player Noe Paramot (No club) - has played a fait few games at CB Ivan Campo (No club) - started out as a CB and converted to CM Gets ready to dodge the Edited August 4, 2009 by Bristolatic Quote

OminousPoultry Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Nice idea but I reckon most out of our reach maybe now - but wait until the season starts and these players are unattached. Possibly that's the way DP is approcahing the CB/GK situations - but like in resigning Hughes there comes a point when you question the motivation of someone playing for half their wages. Quote
Bristolatic Posted August 4, 2009 Author Posted August 4, 2009 Dorus De Vries (Swansea) - One of the best when in L1 imo.."n May 11, 2007, he palmed a tame free kick into his own net against Inverness Caledonian Thistle =. " just what we need. All keepers drop a bollock, but he was pretty steady in their promo season, I recall. Nicky Weaver (Charlton) - PRESTON I hadn't spotted that Andy Marshall (Coventry) - QPR I did wonder Sol Campbell (Portsmouth) words fail me. Did you spot the I put in? Jonathan Fortune (Charlton) - Good enough for Championship imo. Released because of relegation? Danny Mills (Citeh) - visions of greatness beyond our Seans imagination. Point taken Sam Sodje (Reading) - I'm a free agent and I'm in a very good position. Will I go back there? I don't know. They are a massive club (Leeds) (Bristol City) but I've got a lot of options." I'll take that as a "Thanks, but no thanks" then. Like your positivity.... I simply picked out a handful of better known names. Stranger things have happened - it was something of a coup when we signed Stitch, Bobby Johnstone, Albert Quixall, Graeme Sharp etc. There's hundreds of others available, the likes of Chris Howarth, David Knight, Marlon Broomes, Miquel Roque. Good debate though, HB Quote
Stitch_KTF Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 What on earth would we want with Sol Campbell when we've got Sean Gregan? Quote
