The Mail Bag

Jags bagged but....

Well assuming Sheff Utd stay down, after their chairman's recent words it seems we're about to bag our first signing-at last!

It's common knowledge that our Dave wants to use Neville in midfield but whether he or Cars is employed to cover the defence, I think we're in dire need of a left midfielder. "What about Super Shandy-Andy?" I hear you cry. Well, I reckon the fellas got talent somewhere deep down but even if Moyes is absolutlely confident that he can unlock the Dutch fella's potential, we're still gonna be short if he starts pub-crawling again so I think we need to sign one.

Problem is I can't bring one to mind that I think we could sign apart from Baines but he's more defensively-minded and I'm thinking of someone getting forward with a cross... Downing's not for sale so any ideas folks?

I would sign Morten Gamst-Pedersen from Rovers any day. Classy player, quick, good crossing and relatively young (25 I think). Probably would require at least £10m given the currently inflated prices though. I think he would go some way to fixing our left-side problems.

Matt Taylor from Portsmouth.

Scored more goals last season than any other defender (8 and 5 assists).

Season before more assists than any other defender.

Left sided player and can play left midfield at a push.

I was wandering after reading all these FM style guesses at who we may sign... Do we need to sell Beattie to buy Jag? Have we got no money as we are having to find £30 million to move to Kirkby?
