Peter Thorne (Norwich) Chris Brown and Neil Collins (Sunderland) Chris Lucketti and David Unsworth (Blades) Jon Otsemobor (Crewe) Dominic Matteo & Matt Derbyshire (Blackburn) Neil Clement (WBA) Lee Williamson (Rotherham) Ian Evatt (QPR) Caleb Folan (Chesterfield) Ray Parlour, David Wheater and Andrew Davies (Boro) Phillip Bardsley and Ryan Shawcross (Man United) Izale McLeod (MK Dons) Darren Dods (Inverness CT) Matt Jackson and Ryan Taylor (Wigan)
No keeper on the list! I'd say the minimum we need is a left back, centre half and a striker. we need more quality all over the pitch still, of the loanees, I'd keep Reid, McCann is a permanent which leaves 3 poss new loanees, not so sure what we've got to spend on permanent signings and some of the suggestions are likely to be out of our price range.
Look at my list: Rothred Napoleon Dynamite TaxiRED brotyke I shake my fist in their general directions. Grrr & all that.
Peter Thorne (Norwich) - possible, not sure how much he's played and getting on a bit Chris Brown and Neil Collins (Sunderland) - good call Chris Lucketti and David Unsworth (Blades) - would like them both but wages might be a problem. Jon Otsemobor (Crewe) - yes please Dominic Matteo & Matt Derbyshire (Blackburn) - yes to both Neil Clement (WBA) - can't defend to save his life Lee Williamson (Rotherham) - yes Ian Evatt (QPR) - he'd come but not sure he's good enough Caleb Folan (Chesterfield) - yes, as long as we're sure he's white Ray Parlour, David Wheater and Andrew Davies (Boro) - no, yes, yes Phillip Bardsley and Ryan Shawcross (Man United) yes, no Izale McLeod (MK Dons) - too expensive, got other options so can't see it Darren Dods (Inverness CT) - who? Matt Jackson and Ryan Taylor (Wigan - Jackson won't come, he's club captain there. Taylor yes, if he's fit. Long shot - Pawal Abbot.
Abbott not in the Hudds side and they're doing *****, so its a wonder... Matt Derbyshire is just making the first team at Blackburn, so Hughes obv rates him, maybe a month or 3 on loan? Evatt is at Blackpool on loan at the minute, and they're the form team in League 1 Williamson is injured but like Hoskins, has refused a new contract so likely to be going in Jan Otsemobor will have Premiership options at a guess, Bolton linked with him recently Sunderland and Norwich most likely to have a clear out, Brown and Thorne have track record at Champ level Dods is a tough tackling centre half getting rave reviews and attracting attention from both Glasgow clubs Matteo and Lucketti will have options no doubt, think we stick a better chance of doing business with Warnock now though. We tried for both Wheater and Clement prior to window closing, could go back for them, maybe a Man United youngster now they are out of the League cup and drawn Prem in the FA Cup.
RE: Abbott Abbot and Jacko don't get on. Huddersfield were interested in Derbyshire very recently but I think they've had the brush off.
RE: Abbott To be fair Abbott's been injured for the last month or so, still wouldn't touch him with a barge pole though.
Derbyshire was an option for us earlier, AR didnt want him. the goals he scored for Wrexham last season were Brazilian. if Hughes wants him to get games in the Championship, he'd show Nardi how its done I reck.
