Guys (the sensible ones - maybe guy who thinks £6m for fryatt could sit this one out)

Say knight - is he on a free
Delfoneuse (bet that's really close, ex villa) on a free.

Delf. Would be good squad addition. But quite a few of the names that have been poo pahed (never written that before) would add a lot of quality to squad.

Not many others that I can think are free that I want, who have I missed?

Now with the possibility of spending some money this year, who is going to be our Danny ings?

Knight

I think the two you have mentioned are simply not good enough.
There are hundreds of players out of contract.
Ormerou on loan from Chelsea is a possible.

If we're serious about promotion we need to sign a Gary Hooper, Jordan Rhodes, Troy Deeney or Connor Wickham type goal scorer.

Hopefully we get something to cheer about soon. Like I said earlier before the world cup started. After a disappointing england display at the world cup. Although steven gerrard played well with 2 assists!

The ones we have been linked with like Gunning and Ameobi are not god enough by a considerable margin. Hpe Gray has some good talent lined up.

I agree, but hooper, wickham, Rhodes are all definitely not coming; so who is?

If we are serious about promotion we need to start at the back, Conceded way to many silly avoidable goals last season.

Loovens I would have kept and we may, I ain't that bothered about Gooch to be honest, its almost like Wednesday are his fall back, don't want that kind of player.

Burke is on a free and would be a good addition, as would Keith Treacy.

Burkes an excellent player and would pick him over Treacy altho he did a good job for us. Just think Burkes more industrious with a good final ball and an eye for goal

Is it true we've just offered Notts Forest 6 Million for Matty Fryatt?
What next?
Sleaford Owl

Is it true that the first statement above is fiction. ?! uto xxx

Sorry!
It was a neighbour of mine who is a mad Forest fan - taking the mick, I think.
Just hope we get a better striker in the meantime - the wait is almost unbearable though. Only the misfortunes of the likes of Spain is filling the time in. Hope we will not be saying the same of England tonight!

Agree, would be boring without some football to fall back on.

Mighty wednesday linked with Sammy ameobi but not Danny ward from Huddersfield as reported. source sheffied telegraph.

Young and fast, but is he any better than Helan, Maghoma or Antonio?
I haven't seen enough of him to judge, but he seems to be of similar mould to said players.

None are good enough for the massive all league1 players at best

I agree, but I was more interested in whether Ameobi is any better.
Maghoma was doing well until his injury though.

Not seen anything of him but Boro seemed to think he was OK. As for being better than Helan, Maghoma & Antonio. I think Helen is best at left back, Maghoma doesn't set my world on fire at all and as for Antonio I think he is dreadful. He left all his pace & trickery with United in Div 1. Now he just lumbers around like a slow musclebound cruiserweight boxer. Cue a barrage of abuse haha

Agree with above post 100% mate, seen ameobi play for Newcastle a couple of times and I'd pretty much say he's equal to any we got not better so should just leave him to boro

To be fair I don't think many of is can judge Sammy Ameobi based on a wealth of watching him play. What we do know is he is fast and apparently trick. I feel we get this from maghoma, Antonio when confident and fit but helan is a left back for me.
What I was really wanting to see us bring in is a winger who can put on cross on a 50 pence piece. However, does anybody know of Dammy Ameobi's crossing ability? I'd probably say the jury's out.

{Ed001's Note - I have seen a fair bit of the lad as he was coming through their youth system, pacey, tricky, but no end product. He is so wasteful and always looks to be about to lose control of his feet, let alone the ball. He might need a run of games, but for me, from what I have seen, he is simply not good enough for the Championship. He needs to learn how to do basic things like pass, cross and shoot. His movement is poor, it shows a real lack of intelligence, he just seems a bit of a headless chicken. Maybe a good coach could sort him out, but for me I wouldn't recommend him to any team in the professional levels of the game.}

On that note, I think he would be brilliant for United.

Whenever we announce we are interested in a player seems to head elsewhere for e.g Fryatt.
In light of above views perhaps good if he does not arrive.
Know somebody at Academy quite well who gets to know some good info, asked him a couple of days ago and said had heard nothing on signings.
