Signings from parachute clubs (29 Viewers)

[Para1140]

So thinking about us building for next season in the premiership fingers crossed.
is there any players in the parachute teams this season ie Leicester, Southampton, Ipswich, Shef Utd who would be worth us looking at or are we better avoiding ?

I think there are more players in the league than perhaps some think that could step up, but I also would avoid signing too many direct from the Championship as I think you need to mix it up, not to mention you don't really get value for money signing from within England. That said to answer your question...
Leicester:
Fatawu (the best player on the list)
James (doesn't belong to them anyway)

Ipswich:
Philogene

Southampton:
Scienza

Sheffield United:
Brooks

Might be missing someone but off the top of my head thats all id consider from the mentioned clubs. I think Ipswich probably come up with us anyway now, although I hope not.

 

[CCFC96]

I really hope we don't follow Ipswich's model when they went up which was pay huge fees for top level champ standard players like Greaves etc and I don't think we will.

Imagine we'll do a lot business in Europe. In terms of who I'd actually want - Fatawu from Leicester, Gus from Blades (just because I love him even though he's 19 stone), Scienza from Saints and I'd like Hackney from Boro.

 

[Deity]

Is that the Fatawu who chat get in the current leicester team because he won’t work back ?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Personally there’s only 3 players i’d want from championship teams

Hackney
Hughes
Fatawu

We wouldn’t get Hackney.

I like Brooks, he's definitely one I'd look at

 

[TomRad85]

Looks quality and the cherry on the cake would be the Blunt headloss.

 

[viridisman]

Wondered how long into the thread this took...

Though.
Most assists in championship
Last year's pots
Spent more effort applauding cov fans before a corner than his own teams fans at the end of the game lol

 

[shmmeee]

Nah. If they were good enough they’d have been snapped up on relegation.

AI gives me just these in the last twenty years who have stayed at a relegated club for a year or more then gone on to be successful in the PL, anyone got more?

Joao Pedro - Watford > Brighton moved age 22

Jarrod Bowen - Hull > West Ham moved age 23

Michael Carrick - West Ham > Spurs aged 23

Emiliano Buendia - Norwich > Villa aged 25

Most of those were one season in the Championship.

I think PL scouts are pretty good and it’s rare players play in the Championship and aren’t picked up if they can make it. Especially if they’re over 23.

I thought Kipre for Ipswich was really good at the CBS, left sided CB on loan from Reims

 

[DawlishSkyBlue]

The 3 relegated teams will have a few decent players who won't wanna play in the Championship

 

[TomRad85]

In seriousness its ranked the 6th best league in the world these days. Higher than Dutch and Portuguese top divisions, for example. So it would be weird if there weren't a few.

 

[Lamps]

I like Brooks, he's definitely one I'd look at

About the only one I would be interested in. Only 22 and still with a lot to learn but who better than Lampard to shape him into a better player. Strong, fast and skillful. Perfect player to put on after about 70 minutes for the experience and slowly bring him into the side. Won't be cheap though.

Esteve from Burnley maybe

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

I think we'd have to pay too much for what is essentially a prospect but having Monga come back from Leicester would be quite fun.

 

[covboy9]

Zian flemming

 

[covboy9]

Mane from wolves

 

[Nuskyblue]

Mane from wolves

And Bueno. Possibly one of the Gomezs'.

 

[DawlishSkyBlue]

Zian flemming

Good player. Summerville from West Ham another one

 

[Nuskyblue]

Good player. Summerville from West Ham another one

Nunez from the Hammers if they drop.

None from the Tottenham 11. They're pure shite

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Mane from wolves

Dream on...

I would have Femi Azeez instead of Fatawu

 

[Lamps]

We won't have the cash to pay for players that would be better off going out on loan elsewhere. Once we're getting parachute payments then getting promoted again we could start looking at players for the future. But 1st season up every signing must be with a view of playing a big part in the struggle to stay up.

He was brilliant when he was at West Brom. One of the few defenders at this level that had Gyokeres in his pocket!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

And Bueno. Possibly one of the Gomezs'.

The midfield two of Andre and Gomes would never come to us

 

[Evo1883]

If we sign too many championship players i guess we can guarantee a good season when we come back down

 

[tom88]

Bowen

 

[covboy9]

Dream on...

Why not? Tbf dreaming of better players

 

[covboy9]

Jordan James

 

[Evo1883]

We need to be looking at fringe players of top/ good european clubs if we can

Premier league is the best league in the world they will want to come

 

[shmmeee]

We aren’t talking about general Championship players though but specifically players who have played PL football and not been picked up on relegation. It’s a different subset.

And have clauses in their contract, don't do what Leicester have done, still paying their players Premier League wages in the Championship, crazy.

 

[Jamesimus]

Only ones I’d take are…
Monga
Hackney (not parachute but still…)
Brooks
Scienza

OK fair, id agree there aren't many. Of the ones I named only Fatawu and Philogene would have been there probably and I'm slightly on the fence about Philogene. Brooks would have been a kid at Blunts, Scienza wasn't at Southampton... so yeh I guess I kind of agree.
