      Fabian Delph could be decent cover for us. Hardly the next big thing like but if we are wanting energy in midfield and a bit of bite he's worth the peanuts it would cost to sign him.

      Again though a bad injury record and has the Lucas like habit (only worse) of being cautioned all the time.


      Ravel Morrison is the next big thing if he gets his head down for West Ham. A lot of Mancs I know rave about him, but he thought he was a gangster and had to leave Manchester in the end.


      He is very talented and will probably end up on the plane to Rio.

      If we're looking at Villa players, I really like Wiemann.

      Yeah, he's a tricky customer with a touch of class about him.

      My other tips, Berahino from West Brom  and Tom Carroll from Spuds. Think he will flourish in the same way Aaron Ramsey is now for Arsenal.


      I also read a piece on the Murphy twins from Norwich who are both supposed to be good prospects and my Palace mate swears by a lad called Alassani.

      I still think Hughes looks the pick of the bunch. As for Rodwell, I'm not sure he really fits the profile of this thread but if he can keep himself fit he can certainly be a player. He fits the modern prototype of a big strong DM and he has some nice passing range as well. He's no Yaya Toure but he does have a physical advantage on the lads we have got such as Lucas and Henderson.

      Who's the next big thing that isn't so big he'd cost us £50m?
      If I were buying the next big thing (and going on what we "need"): a left-sided 'attacker'; less than £50m? El Shaarawy.  :gt-happyup:

      Central midfielder? I'll whisper this one quietly but I like the look of, ex-Manc, Paul Pogba.  Oh and I'll throw in Iker Muniain as a wee bonus.

      Cannot for a moment believe Milan will let El Shaarawy go, would be an amazing signing for us.

      Pogba is a bit of a beast isn't he, 20 years old and going to be a real star and Muniain I've been a fan for a while. Big yes please for any of those, big lack of belief we'll get any :(

      The "whisper" bit was about me 'liking' an ex-Manc - I thought that was clear: obviously not.

      "Already a big thing"... alright but not for us. I thought that's what this thread was about: obviously not. So that's me zero for two... ah well, back to the drawing board.  ;D
