Poll : Who are the 3 players you want to see arrive this summer (realistic)

[Cleveland Steamer]

Just wanted to see if we are all on the same page, Given the speculation in the papers and lets be honest there is no smoke without fire - heres mine.

1) Johnson - Would slot in nicely at RB - I like Arby but think he can be suspect at times.

2) Tuncay - a cheap and class back up striker who I believe given the right support could do a great job for us.

3) Silva - This is a big maybe for me as I feel he could be too expensive. But what a player! Can play as a forward or on the wing. A perfect Rafa type player.

Heres dreaming 8)

 

[LeTallecWiz]

I assume we're gonna get two 1st 11 players, 1 'back up' and a host of cheap kids ... I am assuming Xabi & Mascherano are staying.

1) Glen Johnson
2) Tuncay
3) Van Der Vaart (to replace Riera in the first 11)

 

[the count]

Silva
Kuba
Owen

I doubt if we will have any money left after the first two so I will take Owen as backup striker on a free.

 

[spider-Neil]

johnson
tevez
promote a center back from the reserves

Silva
Kuba
Naughton (right back at Sheff Utd, great potential and a lot cheaper than Johnson)

He looked very good in the Championship play off game but that is the only time I have seen him play. Aren't Man U supposed to be in for him?

 

[Buddha]

Silva
Johnson / Naughton
Robben (part-funded by selling Babel)

I reckon Masher might well go to Barca if they're in for him. If so, I'd be happy with Toure + cash (to go towards Robben).

Adding Silva and Robben to our attacking options would massively improve us.

 

[Squiggles]

1) Young/Silva
2) Bent
3) Johnson

The rumour is that United are in for him but it could just be the usual press speculation. He is an excellent prospect and will definitely be in the EPL next season. Apparently Sheffield United were looking for £5m but would accept £3m plus "add-ons" i.e. a sell-on clause and extra payments for appearances/international recognition.

4 players? You're ruining this for everyone, I'm going to press the "Rafa4PM" button and let the Mods deal with you.

Bring it on! I can be banned for wanting to sign too many players 🙂

You can if Dean Ashton is one of them.

I like to keep the faith in injured fuckers, eg Harry kewell

Even Degen could take the piss out of Ashton's injury record.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Point in case, I remain cautiously optimistic about degen 😉

Glen Johnson (Though I'm sure there's someone better, surely?)
Tevez
Adam Johnson
(Spare - Martinez)

 

[LFD]

Johnson is shite and not worth 16 million + that we'd have to pay.

1) Lavezzi
2) Robben
3) A right back, but not Johnson.

The way Rafa was talking one would hope the one or two signings he wants would be of Silva and Tevez's class... I'll go with your list but with Srna in Johnson's place if we're priced out of a move.
