John, I?m with you, M?bia and Mountinho for me along with Ledley. As Ledley would predominantly be on the left I would be tempted to play him with Peanuts and swap them mid game to opposite flanks. I?m sure it?s been mentioned before but I?m suprised there hasn?t been talk on Obinna(?) a bit more. Considering how close we came last year. Any know if we just had a lucky escape or are going to make a move?

1) The only way Anichebe is going out of this club for a fee is to Hull. Cardiff would take the money from somebody else for Ledley and get a player of equal talent on loan from one of our rivals. They won't do us a favour by saying "you don't have much to play with, throw in that Anichebe"!

Secondly, I also doubt how keen Anichebe would be on a move permanently to the Championship.

2) Nolan is a distinctly average player on £40,000 a year. Unless someone will match that a week, he will go nowhere. I would frankly prefer to keep Neville there and gradually introduce Rodwell into the role than have him.

3) Naughton, probably a good buy but there will be several clubs after him, teams who will outbid us. You can't assume you will pick up players like that for £4 million.

4) Jo for £1.5m and Lescott!!!! Absolute madness. Jo looked ok, and could develop into a very good player but you are valuing him in my opinion at what city paid for him. I would be gutted at any deal that involved losing Lescott unless it was for upwards of £16m cash. If Moyes wants him, he will be available for loan.

5) Bassong. Well, if Lescott is staying, £5m for a 4th choice CB is a bit hot for us. Good player though. Again, if he left, the number of clubs interested would surely make him out of our price range.

6) Richards, at the right money, I like. He is one player who would tempt me if City really want Lescott. On a straight cash deal, though, there would surely be a price tag of over £7m?

I think this is going to be our most important summer yet where we truly have to add numbers and class to the side to compete and try and break into the top four, but we have our work cut out with the the likes of City, Villa, Spurs and Pompey all with money to burn who can outbid us and offer better wages to players out there, so Moyes needs backing more than ever and has to be shrewder and quicker in snapping up the players he wants who he knows we can get on our budget (whatever it may be ? please God let it be decent), strengthening the key areas of the midfield and on the right.

We need pace, power, skill and goals to push us on... please, Moyes, get it right and we can take the next step and get the club back into the top 4 where we belong.... In Moyes We trust! COYB!!!!

Jo didn't overly please either to be honest, not worth dangling Lescott for him or Richards.

I do believe Moyes would get the best out of Richards eventually, but let's not pimp out our best players, I am sure there are plenty of agents around to do that for us.

If any relegated players, then Tuncay from Boro, agree with Naughton as he could well develop into a decent player. Joe Ledley wouldn?t give us anything new, only a younger version of what we have had in the past; an average player with little pace.

So, are we so deep in debt that the FA Cup, TV and appearance money, plus the PL placing cash, plus next years (guaranteed) TV payment goes to the banks? If so, is this debt reduction what makes BK look a good chairman in some people?s eyes?

We need to keep Yobo, Jags and Lescott if we are going to sustain a long European run as well as break the big 4 again as *touch wood* injuries can occur over the long course of the season. I would sign Jacobsen on a free as he is an international right back and definitely looks more stable going forward than Hibbert. That leaves us with money to invest on Moutinho and M?bia.

If Moyes can work his magic and bring up a couple of players from the Championship (Ledley etc), we can afford to let go of the likes of Anichebe in part exchange deals. On the Owen topic I think he is too injury prone, and we already have Saha who is at constant risk of becoming injured.

As for M?Bia, I think that Cana @ Marseille is also highly rated if Rennes start playing silly beggars.
IMO Anchibe must be worth at least £4-5M if Fraser Campbell is worth £6M... but who can tell. This summer is a massive pre-season for us. I can see it either going great allowing us to push the sky4, or going just like last year ? only we?ll really struggle to get anywhere near our over performance last year.

When our magical new Midfield is fed up waisting their time creating goals because we are leaking goals all over the place, you have realised you have made a huge mistake letting him go. Spend £12 million on Upson. No because he has already gone to Arsenal. Selling Lescot is madness.

Campbell, remember, played a whole season in the Championship and made a bit of an impact at Spurs! This is why he is in the £6M bracket (a bit expensive, I agree). Even in silly season, can someone give me a sales pitch on Anichebe to justify a £4.5M asking price?

1) He has a bad attitude;
2) You can count his Premier League goals on one hand;
3) He has had his problems with injuries;

I think he is a good prospect but he needs games next year, and probably a bit of a reality check down in the Championship.

And M?Bia has stated he wants to leave Rennes and join us, just like he did last season but that time Rennes wanted him to stay but they?ve granted he can leave this time round but they have put a bigger price on his head, ?12-14M. We're apparently willing to go to £10M for him and that's their lot!

I?d love them both at the club because they're both quality players but I can't see us having the funds required, £10M for M?Bia, at least £12-14M for Moutinho... I just cant see us having the funds to get both.

I think Moyesy will sign M?Bia first because he wants to fill the defensive midfield role permanently next season and probably take a miss on Moutinho and rely on Arteta when he gets back fit. We might go back in for young Naughton or we may go elsewhere but we definitely need a new right back. Naughton would be good, never played in Premier League and is still young but, from what I've seen, he is a lot better than Hibbert. I'm not so sure defensively yet, but he?ll get better with age but going forward he?s got bags of energy and gets up and down that line all game, and he?s got some end product too with regards to crossing.

I also agree with those who say we should sell Big Vic, Hull are apparently keen to sign him once fit again. I saw figures of £4M... if so, snap their hands off, and I'd take the ?2M Besiktas are offering for Saha too. Not sure wether we?d get that or Man Utd, probably them wankers, but if we got it, it would be a good £5m+ to go into kitty towards more buys.

If we could afford the wages and signing on fee, I?d take Owen too, he?s worth a punt on a Bosman definitely, or maybe get someone in on loan, Jo maybe. A good pre-season with us and in a better team and I'm sure he?d do well!.
