Jaffka's gossip thread on the ins and outs at the 'Bok

[HM Murdock]

Our 24 man depth chart (+2 maybes)

GK Ádám Bogdán, Jussi Jääskeläinen, Robert Lainton, Jay Lynch

LB Sam Ricketts, Marcos Alonso (Jail???)
CB Tim Ream, David Wheater, Zat Knight, Adam Blakeman
RB Tyrone Mears, Joe Riley

LW Martin Petrov Gregg Wylde
DM Darren Pratley, Fabrice Muamba (health ???)
CM Mark Davies, Stuart Holden, Josh Vela
RW Chung-Yong Lee, Chris Eagles

FW David N'Gog, Marvin Sordell, Kevin Davies (captain), Tom Eaves, Jack Sampson

Good squad. Much better than most relegated teams end up with. Young, cheap with upside. Expect 3 or 4 new faces..
Keeper: Great for this level. Gotta keep Bogdan.
Defense: Legit left back needed -as Alonso may goto jail- so Ricketts can cover CB. Shame about Wheater injury.
Midfield: Mavies might go. Muamba may not recover at all so need another DM. Wings are excellent for this level though don't tackle well or track back.
Strikers: Sordell and Eaves may step up. Davies may flourish in the rough and tumble while N'Gog is still a wait 'n' see. Chelsea are looking to loan Luakaku get in their Owen!

Good basis of a squad, if we get one or two good signings then on paper we ought to at the very least be in contention for a play off position.

I'd expect to see either Micheal O'Halloran or Tom Eaves make an appearance on the striker front, most probably the former.

Definitely a good basis for a Championship squad, couple of additions at CB/LB/CM and maybe a CF if we can afford one

Newcastle in for M.Davies? Mail reckons 3.5mil..

Newcastle in for M.Davies? Mail reckons 3.5mil..

I like how they pluck a figure out of the air and just say 'Wanderers have said £3.5m because they are in debt'

[BWFC_Insane]

Newcastle in for M.Davies? Mail reckons 3.5mil..

Nixon and the BN both saying nowt in that story, and Coyle has done an interview today saying he won't be selling any players.

[bristolwanderer]

Well it is the Mail..

[BWFC_Insane]

I'd sell Mark Davies cos I think he's pretty average at best. But i guess we can't afford to weaken the squad too far.

Southampton have released Jaidi, worth a re-sign?

Southampton have released Jaidi, worth a re-sign?

I would seriously take a look at him for a potential 1 year contract.
Big brute of a CB we require in Wheaters absence.
Not a clue how he's played of late so 'take a look' maybe

[the-Bowtun-Warrior]

Though I'd sooner have Faye if WetSpam go up (is he still there?) and release him

[HM Murdock]

Jaidi is retireing. he's 36 and his knee is fooked, he was out injured nearly all of last season

That's that answered then

He will fit right in

“Maybe over the course of the years this club has paid far too much money for certain things,” he added..

Managers spring to mind at the minute...

[officer_dibble]

Best chance of hoodwinking anyone for a £5m fee for mark davies this summer..Cant play central mid and doesnt have a good enough end product at top level for the role behind the front man. He should be good in the champuonship mind. Id sell him and sign a couple of headcases for midfield to replace personally.

[ChrisC]

Some people might disagree but i would sign Kevin Phillips up in place of Klasnic if Blackpool don't keep him on next season.. he would do a job for us in the Championship IMO can't be on to much of a wage at Blackpool either and scored 16 goals this season.

I'd have him.
N'Gog & Sordell starting two.
Davies & Phillips options from bench with Eaves offering pace from there on occasions.
