surely the goalie is the last place we need a new face? sort out our defence and attack first. i would also rather another attacking midfielder than a goalie. price and supple are the least of our problems.

Have you seen how many times Lewis cant catch?

I for one think a keeper is a position we should be looking for

the goalie would have a lot less to do if de vos could defend, or even run.

Yes IF Wrighty is going to be "released" I think Town would be bonkers not to try and get him....an injury to Price and we have just another rooky to call on in Supple - yes I know he s good , but experience is what we need (in the right age group that is ) !!

But yes, we also are now desperate for a striker to team up with Forster...and dare I say a decent central defender !!

Price isn't up to it, but when did Wright last play reguarly?

I totally agree, but that doesnt make up for the fact that Lewis really cant catch a ball. He is a keeper, catching is their bread and butter stuff and he cant do it!

Im sure Richard Wright would be better in those positions than most the idiots we have playing for us currently.

Agree Price is overrated, I rate Supple far more, so if we sold Price and signed up wrighty on a free id be happy

De vos/magilton/currie/mcthing, they are people, running should be their bread and butter. they are also footballers so kicking the ball should come fairly naturally.

I dont necessarily think that getting Wright would be a bad move but would seem like a slight luxury. i always rated him and always thought he was unlucky not to be given a go at arsenal and lost confidence due to it from which he has as yet not recovered. Just think strengthening other areas would yield more results. Even on a free wright is not going to play for free and i think other positions are in more need of reinforcing.

I don't think we have problems at centre back. Naylor & Wilnis seems to look pretty good on the rare occasions we get to see it :lol:
