Premiership: Backup GK | young DC | DM or MC| general squad improvements

[james0195]

Team: Wigan
Patch: 11.3
Season: Start of 2
Aim: 8th last season, top half expected finish. Want top 6.

Budget: 10.5M & 65k left of wage budget

Team so far:
GK: Courtois

DL: Figueroa, Clyne
DR: Stam, A.Matthews
DC: G.Caldwell, S.Caldwell, Gohouri, Alcarez (loaned out until Nov)

MC: Dzagoev, McCarthy, Ilsinho (joins 20th august on a free)
ML: Leonardo, N'Zogbia
MR: Rodallega, Moses

ST: F. Julienne (scored 18 prem goals last season), Wickham, Milan Djuric, Igboanike

Notable young players:
D.Jennings, A.Limbonbe, T.Hazard, D.Praet, J.Zambrano, O.John
Loaned out: Di Santo & Sammon

Still intend to sell: Boselli (hopefully over 10M and take 40k from wages)

NEED: Im not sure,
1) A backup gk (prefer home grown - age doesnt matter but cheaper the better)
2) DM - Diame wouldnt sign new contract, McCarthy can cover but need first teamer.
3) DC - backup, both caldwells & gohouri getting old so under 23 preferred.

Anyone else who could add to the squad?

sorry for the long post, thanks

back up keeper- smithies/silva lung. jr
dm- reo-coker/camacho
cb-tomkins/bartley/boayata/onuoha

 

[james0195]

dont like reo-coker and if i remember his wages are high?

Il go for smithies thanks and maybe tomkins
might go for C.Adam as blackpool were relegeated & so were WBA so maybe if i can get dorrans or morrison for a decent price?

 

[Sumner_05]

p.s. decent team u got there

DM - Owen Hargreaves on a free, defo.

 

[james0195]

Hargreaves has gone to Sevilla on 94k wages :S

Had a loan bid accepted by Newcastle for S.Taylor, 120k fee & 375k option to purchase any time, season long loan paying 20k wages (50%) which I think is a decent deal.

Also taken M.Diarra on trial, might offer 1 year deal if wages are below 20k

Had a 7M bid for Henderson accepted by sunderland but still unsure whether i should buy, thoughts?

thanks for the help.

CB- Go for Shawcross or Gary Cahill (Usually at least 5M)!!!
DM- Enquire for Rio Mavuba (Also *** kiss the Lille Manager). Too much then go for Lee Cattermole or Tom Huddlestone!!!
