I think they are all solid signings. However I must add that a Cristiano Ronaldo vs Gregorz Rasiak video on Youtube is pushing it a bit......

Going for a right back and a midfielder, maybe 2.

Should see us nicely...

At the moment, assuming no-one else leaves, I'm not sure we need much else TBH. Maybe we should spash some cash on either Howard or Stock, and bring in a RB on loan. Otherwise we're looking quite strong.

If Harper and Marek leave then both Howard and Stock would be nice.

Disagree with that. Stock would be horrible, why is everyone talk about him? He's been below the championship for level for years, questions were asked when he stepped upto his level whether he could do a job. Average championship player at best and the exact signing we SHOULDN'T be making as we have youngsters with bigger potential. Spending money on stock...no thanks.

Howard has a decent left beg and might be worth a bid though.

TBF I'm not sure there's anyone better than Stock we could go for.

Maybe Watson now he has fallen out of favour at Wigan.

What happened to chaplow also, another one with more credentials. I just don't see why we'd spend over a million on a player who hasn't done a lot at this level and should we get to the prem in the next few years...would not be anywhere near good enough. I'd rather keep the central midfield the way it is atm. I think a left winger and a striker are far more important.

We need an experienced full back to lead the defence until Ivar comes back.

It will be BR's priority.

If we're going to persist with this 4-3-3 stuff then we're probably sorted in terms of strikers, though someone on loan wouldn't go amiss. Smae with the wingers. Kebe and McAnuff both have the ability to do something special, and with HRK, Henry, Davies and Church as back up we should be alright. Midfield is the 1 area where we lack quality in depth, especially if one of Harper and Marek go.

Err ...yes it will ...Rodgers alluded to it on the radio at weekend that, in defence, he needs to make another signing

Interesting that Sheffield Utd fans have also heard Howard is on his way here, but Shane Long, not James Harper going the other way.

We'll we find out tomoz won't we?

Agree if Harper or Marek leave priority changes.

Really don't see any posistive to selling Harps. I know he's got his faults, but who hasn't at this level??

Have to agree. It wont be a right back while he has Rosenior at first choice with Premiership experiance and a 'reputation' for being better than he is, and Kelly as back up.

We are a centre back light.

Depends how serious Ivar is and how long he'll be out. I think we're fine at CB. I certainly can't see us spending enough there to get someone better than Pearce or Mills.
I'd say part of our weakness at set pieces is small full backs and midfielders. We only have two big players.

If we can pick up a bigger full back to replace Liam that would help.

With Pearce and/or - and god help us if it is and(!) - Ivar we need Rosenior's pace in the back line more than height IMO.

Any connnection with the fact that Watford turned down an undisclosed bid by an unnamed club for Mike Williamson? Williamson then put in a written transfer request, which has also been turned down by Watford!

Just listening to Talk Sport and they have Krankjaer's agent on there who confirmed in an exclusive he is going to Tottenham,But while he was talking his mobile went off and he confirmed it was Nicky Hammond from Reading phoning to do a deal but wouldnt say who it was about.
Any ideas who else this agents represents? i think his name is Phil Smith
