Kilburn Times re: Clint Hill and others....

[erikmata]

Its starting to look like to me Warnock may improve the defence cheaply.

Maybe since Warnock first to took over he has discovered that defencely we aren't as bad as first thought, after all we've virtually the same players who kept all the clean sheets under Sousa.

With Connolly to return, Legiertwood at RB, Voltz?? Tosic??? Hill on free rom Palace, Ramage to centre half maybe, return of Cerny to form.....do we need to go out and spend big on the defence?

As long as our Full Backs are mobile we may now have enough in the locker...

He also said that strikers are those who require large transfer fees, so if possible why not sign up ok defenders on a free? It might be that easy..

hmmm st ledger or clint hill.... decisions

clint hill would be signed purely as cover, st ledger is a class above

St Ledger is a good player but he has been part of an awful Preston defence this season.

Palace have conceded just 50 goals in their 44 matches this season, compared to 64 that we've conceded and 69 that Preston have conceded.

Hill has been part of that solid Palace defence in the same way that St Ledger has been part of a rocky Preston defence.

Hooper and simpson would cost no less than 3 mill the pair

[WeAreQPR12]

read in the paper west ham look likely to sign hooper but surely with zola's future uncertain this can't be true?

[Youvebeenrangered]

Everyone needs to calm down a little, just cos were linked to a free transfer dosnt automatically mean were doing things on the cheap.
I trust warnock if he feels hill is good enough,then he's allright with me.

Totally agree.

[Youvebeenrangered]

Hooper and Simpson i reckon we could get them both for 2 million, 1 million a piece.

[sirpiechucker]

read in the paper west ham look likely to sign hooper but surely with zola's future uncertain this can't be true?

I wouldn't believe any paper stories rumouring signings for West Ham, Celtic and even Burnley due to the possibility that the current men in charge won't be come August.

When in attendance at the Platinum Evening he said excactly the same thing about strikers and bringing in experience on Bosmans.

People forget its a team game and not about individuals as we all well should know.

Defence needs to be tweaked, why spend a fortune on it when its up fornt where the money needs to spent and always has done.


***That was meant for Erikmata as well***

[Rebel R's]

still not alot to cheer about......another nothing player....thought we were moving forward as a club.

i hope this isnt going to be the trend again this summer,ie crap freebies

[Mutley]

In the Barnsley postmatch, he as good as said upfront is where the spondulies will be spent.

Expecting at least 2 quality strikers.

Warnock's defences have never looked great on paper but they do a job. Simply the defence defend and the attackers attack. I don't expect any big names defenders but players who know what their role is a player with a bit of passion (i.e. Chris Morgan).

[Nodge70]

St Ledger is a quality player. Be very happy with him.

[QPR1234]

if we buy hill, id want us to sign somebody like shittu. i feel stewart isnt good enough to get us promoted.

[sirpiechucker]

I'm not saying that he isn't good I'm just saying that Warnock is likely to sign players he knows will play for him and for the shirt. St Ledger is probably Premiership bound but reports are that he's hasn't had the best of seasons and Preston themselves have been woeful in defence.
