EmersonsKev Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 A friend has heard a "rumour" that we have a midfielder already signed up. Has played in the championship this season.As for a personal opinion i would like to see Paul Parry but its a long shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh_red Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 well depending on whether or not Grimsby go up, We going to be looking into Reddy, hopefully we will try to sign McCammon too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben4BCFC Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 According to all the Yeovil fans I know, we have put a bid in for keeper Chris Weale...just a rumour but supposedly it is going around all the Yeovil fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southy354 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Shame he's injured for a while and I think we should sign Reddy or/and McCammon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just hope we get someone else in as I don't want another season of Basso. Or even better Steve P gets inbetween the sticks again with a much better attitude.

BCFC Grim Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 As we are in desperate need of a winger, how about Matt jarvis(gills left winger.) Scored a few good goals this season, can cross has pace and skill! Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mundz18 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I reckon we'll try and sign arron davies of yeovil, liam fontaine as hes on a free in the summer, maybe mccamon, and a long shot... jamie cureton :Crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrow Boy Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I think Jevons on a bosman is a certainty. Good player who scores goals, can play either up front or on the left and Gary Johnson obviously knows him well. Interesting to see that Yeovil have 12 players out of contract in the summer, wouldn't surprise me to see 2 or 3 sign for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walshy Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 As for a personal opinion i would like to see Paul Parry but its a long shot.I'm hoping we'll go for Parry as well. Great left winger who has been sub quite a lot for Cardiff this season. GJ tried to sign him for Yeovil before he signed for Cardiff, so it could be a possibility.

Guest port marine red Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I think we need a right-back, a defensive midfielder (one who can tackle), a midfield playmaker and two strikers (one a target man, the other a fox-in-the-box type forward). Chuck in Liam Fonatine as well and I'll be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richy P Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I think we need a right-back, a defensive midfielder (one who can tackle), a midfield playmaker and two strikers (one a target man, the other a fox-in-the-box type forward). Chuck in Liam Fonatine as well and I'll be happyi don't think we need another right back as both Carey and Skuse can play there. If we sign Fontaine, with Heywood and Keogh we will have enough cover at the back. I agree a defensive midfielder would be good, but hopefully the experience this year has done Skuse some good and he will become more consistent. Our priority is a left winger, Paul parry please, and a pacy striker or a proven goal scorer, someone along the lines of Beckett or Reddy would be good. I know Reddy isn't a proven goal scorer but I think he would do well with Brooker and McCammon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider army on tour Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 But yet he has kept us in many games this season, give the bloke some credit and get off his backSo has Philips. Remember how everyone was singing his praises for limiting Swansea to 7 goals? Basso has kept us in game, but he worries me more than Philips. His kicking is a complete joke and the fans just like him because he is eccentric. Saying that I turst Gary Johnson's judgement and it seems like Steve Philips attitude has been the problem, I hope he either sorts that out for next season or we get a new keeper in.

Phillips has conceeded 2.2 goals per game while Basso only 1.0. In those game Phillips has kept 3 clean sheets (every 6.3 games) compared to Basso's 9 (every 3 games) Also what about those totally unnessasary yet wonderful saves where the ball sticks to Basso's gloves like glue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderHider Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 It's impossible to say at this stage, but if we by some miracle end up playing in the Championship next season (it can still happen) we could certainly attract a better class of player than if we reamain in teh League 1?Not sure this is how Johnson see's it though, i think he's already identified the players he wants for the "Big push" next season, becuase realisticly, there's no way we're going to go up and GJ has to make the senseable decisions.

CiderHider Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 basso is dodgy as ######He's no Dida granted, but just look at our form when he's been in the team. The results speak for themselves, Basso is a great keeper for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lita For Congo Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 basso is dodgy as ######You have seen him once..I think he is a good keeper, he gives you 'heart in mouth' moments, but so does Phillips. He is only in the team because of Phillips attitude toJohnson and the situation and this is a fact many of you know. Basso has come in and proved he is good enough to keep the spot and make it his own. He will get another one year contract in the summer and be our number one next year. We need a keeper though as SP will probably depart. Holding midfielder and left winger would also be needed then 1, possibly 2 strikers signed.As for names? Not too sure, they have said if Grimsby stay down then Reddy is an option. Aaron Davies/Phil Jevons other options. Paul Parry would be a fantastic signing for us.

City were in terrible form and i don't think for one minute if Basso was in goal when Phillips was and visa versa the stats would read any different and it would be Phillips with the better stats. You cannot account for variable in these stats, as i said before stats don't lie, they mislead.As for signings...1 CB1 LM2 ST Let Savage go but keep Big Mac and a new face...i honestly feel thats enough. We have some usefull youngsters comming through and infact if Jennison proves to be THAT good then we might not even need a left winger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SUPER REDS Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Fontane,Reddy,Hayter,and I have Mr t Doherty back like scott murray and carey city player every bit sure he wouldlove to come back and at last get us in the championship,alongside Noble or Russellwould make a very strong midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddy will be difficult to get if Grimsby go up and if they don't we'll have competition but it's possible. Fontaine is possible but it's disconcertingly quiet on that front, usually with loan players it's mentioned in an interview or the like quite early on. He'd be a great signing if we can get him though.Doherty wouldn't improve our midfield in the least, he's not going to get fit enough to impact a game, and he wouldn't last 5 minutes under the Johnson regime. If Hollowhead couldn't sort out his lifestyle then it ain't going to get done.I'd like to see us sign Billy Sharp to partner Brooker. Big Mac and Cotterill for backup is plenty good enough. A pacy left winger and a keeper if Phillips is leaving (Konstantopoulos please!) is a must too I think. Other than that I think we're in pretty good shape with the academy players coming through too.
