Looks dead in the water to me.

Henderson has a big chance then.......

Great, maybe we'l bring Casino Jimmy back into the fold :icon_roll

He's had his chance and he's blatantly not up to it,if we don't get Fulop then I expect us to sign another keeper

Still amazes me how bad Rab was/is.

id like to know what the sticking point is over fulop..will sunderland drop their expensive keeper to play him (which i dont see happening) or are they holding out for more money??

I think they are being clever business-wise, they'll be able to get more than £1m for him now IMO.

and surely we should offer more for him its not as if we cant afford him

Fat chance of that. I hear he often likes to wait for the River.

Totally agree. Although there is obviously a roof in the amount we should pay for him/

They probably think that they have us by the short & curlies........ they're probably right. Expect to see him back for an increased fee unless QPR have made a silly offer.

 

[highland fox]

There maybe another club after him

we should offer £1.5/2m with an extra £750k/£1m should we get promoted within 2 years..yes i think he is worth it

 

[highland fox]

So we might end up paying 3 million for him ?

 

[Orifice]

If we loose Fulop and start conceeding goals we best start scoring more ourselves. Those strikers could be very important.

Steve Howard will be 32 in May. From the North East where he was spotted playing non-league football as a 20 year old by Hartlepool. Made 164 appearances for them, scoring 32 goals. Signed by Northampton in 1999 and made 95 appearances for them, scoring 18 goals.

Joined Luton in 2001 for £50k and made 228 appearances for them, scoring 103 goals. Got him a £1m move to Draby in 2006 and he has made 72 appearances for them, scoring 20 times.

Seems to have got better in the last few years. His record for Luton and Draby is better than anything else we've got. IMO a pairing of Campbell and Howard would be excellent in this league next season.

Barry Hayles will be 36 in April!! He's made 429 career appearances for various clubs. IH sold him for £2m to Fulham when at Bristol Rovers. He's scored 131 goals. Presumably he's coming in for his attitude and influence on younger players together with being back-up to Howard as a 'hold-it-up' old pro.

Hayles may be old but so is Phillips and he keeps knocking them in

Fulop is an excellent keeper, however I don't believe we should be held to ransom by Sunderland. If we cannot come to a suitable agreement then I would imagine that an alternative target would no doubt be identified. If we cannot agree a deal for Fulop then I would like to see us go after one of the following Stuart Taylor (Villa), Carlo Nash (Wigan), Ian Walker (Bolton) or Jamie Ashdown (Pompey) who would IMO be available at least on loan, would welcome first team football and more than fill the void left by Fulop.

 

[Dannyboy11]

I wonder if we'd have a chance of getting that Kaspar Schemiceal (sp? ) if Fulop does not return.

Fulop could be a good investment though, if we paid £2million for him, we could easily see that doubled at the end of the season. Man Ure paid £4 million for Kuszak and he is not in the same league as Fulop.

He's already on loan at Cardiff.
