Who would you like Neil to sign in the summer?

[DubaiDai]

He signed a new contract this month (looked average anyway when i watched him the other day on TV)



NW said last week when he was on Sky that Taraabt would never have a season again like the only decent one he had THAT year.
He'd almost certainly be another liability

Agreed. The "purple" season was 2009-10.
Never reproduced since with various clubs.

Bamba, McGregor and Halford haven't been too shabby. Taarabt is only 27 and Neil knows how to get the best out of him. Low risk option.

I don't think it would be that low risk, I think he's a bit of a disruptive influence, and there's every chance he would be as useless as he's been since 2012. But you never know...

It's all opinions, his purple season was 10-11. He played for both QPR and Fulham in the premiership after that as well as for Milan in the Champions League. Benfica also gave him a 5 year contract.

True but after almost 18 months he made 7 appearances for Benfica, scoring one goal.
They then shipped him out on loan to Genoa where he is yet to make an appearance.
Whatever you or I think I cannot see Warnock trying to bring him to City.

Lewis Grabban
Jamie Mackie

Marcus Maddison. A hard working winger who can score goals and is only 23. Peterborough have a knack of finding gems from the lower leagues too.

Hardly useless, two further seasons in the premiership and playing in the Italian top flight and champions league.

Take your point about his attitude though, just thought with Neil having managed him and got the best out of him it may be worth a punt.

Seem to remember Bothroyd had an attitude problem before he joined.

He was garbage in the premier league, not sure what went wrong but he totally lost it.
Real shame because that season he had as a 21 year old I'm struggling to think of a player at this level who has been as good.

QPR bought Barton and it was downhill from there. Perhaps the championship is his level, loads of players struggle to make the step up.
