strikers freddie sears. nile ranger. simon church. midfield jason puncheon. andrea orlandi. jay tabb. defence jonathan spector. go ahead and pick holes but i would take all of them there all out of contract and in my opinion quality plays and would grace any championship team.

Wishing our fans would stop f. Ing about and start hoping we can hold on to our best players for a change and keep our squad for more than one season then we might be the PRemiership club we want to be

Unfortunately I think you have said it yourself already, they would 'grace any championship team', there has been numerous comments made about our financial restrictions and due to their ability most of these players would probably not be prepared to accept the restrictions we have to place on the size of contracts we offer.

Sorry, I do agree that they are good players that would be very beneficial to have but there are a number of threads that have already been started suggesting numerous players. While I admire your eagerness and resourcefulness to continue looking for players I'm not sure these threads will attract much positive posting due to the unlikelihood of us actually signing any of those mentioned.

Sear's goal that never was could have kick started his career but I reckon it ruined him mentally. Still p*ssed off about it & Gary Johnson in turn having the audacity to whinge about us calling off a home game because of fan safety when Selhurst was like an ice rink. I hate that c*nt so much.

OK you said it:- Freddie Sears has signed for Colchester, Nile Ranger is contracted to Newcastle until 2016, Simon Church and Jay Tabb are both contracted to Reading until 2013, Jason Puncheon is contracted to Southampton until 2013, Andrea Orlandi is contracted to Swansea until 2013, Jonathan Spector is contracted to Birmingham until 2013.

Not one of those players are out of contract, and all except Sears would set you back ± £1m. Before you start a thread like this at least research to players your going to put forward.

Puncheon has been playing (and scoring) in pre-season for Southampton. He may end up out of their squad but I doubt it.

spector would be a good signing
