Weston Saint Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 Ian Baraclough has confirmed that forward Jonathan Forte is in Southampton discussing a potential move to the League One side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 Based on what, given between them they have what...15 Premier league games? Carroll might be good, but at the moment IMO he could be just another promosing young striker who starts well and doesn't become anything. Jeffers? Carlton Cole? Even Heskey or Michael Ricketts! £35m is absolutely mental. No-one wonder clubs look abroad with prices like that. Suarez looks good but it's always hard to tell coming from the dutch league. Besides, if they're playing 2 strikers they run into their favourite Gerrard problem. He needs a team built around him, doesn't have the discipline for 442 and has proved it for a decade or so now. 4-3-3 then, Carroll in the middle, Suarez on the left and Gerrard on the right. It's all speculation at this point but I genuinely think those two will be fantastic together. Some cracking partnerships in the Prem by the looks of things, Torres and Drogba, Dzeko and Tevez, Berbatov and Rooney. Poor Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedelldays Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 So far we've kept Lallana/Chamberlain, the best two wingers in the league, if not the league above IMO, and added two more wingers when we needed cover. Puncheon can fck off now and we can be happy. I think pilkington would have something to say about that and taraabt....who is fuking awesome by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appy Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 I think pilkington would have something to say about that Chambo, Lallana and Pilkington are the top 3 i think. Lallana at the top of that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 I think pilkington would have something to say about that Pilkington doesn't have some of the biggest clubs in the world after him. I'm not saying Pilkington is a bad player of course he isn't, but I'd put Lallana and Chamberlain ahead of Pilkington and Bennett in a top 4 list of League One wingers.

Ken Tone Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 Ambition. A word that doesn't come to mind on hearing that Forte is signing... Don't know much about him, but a regular first team choice for a club in the division above us, shows some ambition IMO. And it seems he plays winger or striker, so will be good cover and an 'impact sub', if he doesn't win a first team place here straight away.

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 Ambition. A word that doesn't come to mind on hearing that Forte is signing... Whenever I have seen Forte I have always thought "Why don't we sign him?". Pace in abundance, can really get round the back. Will be a good signing in my opinion.

Matthew Le God Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 (edited) so...? has OxO or is that just paper talk..? It is not "just paper talk". Damien Comoli from Liverpool has been at Saints games watching him, Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson have both publicly stated their interest. They have not done the same with Pilkington! What is "paper talk" is that Saints are selling him, even though Cortese stated he wouldn't be (and it looks like he is right).

DT Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 Looks like OxO is staying. Sort of a bit of a shame in that it could have funded our promotion push. Pleased and disappointed at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctoroncall Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 from the scunny telegraph: UPDATE: Jonathan Forte undergoing medical at Southampton Jonathan Forte is undergoing a medical this afternoon ahead of a shock proposed move to League One Southampton. Manager Ian Baraclough has confirmed former Iron boss Nigel Adkins has come in with a bid to take the 24-year-old front man down to St Mary's. "Nigel has always had great faith in Jonathan, who is out of contract this summer," said Baraclough. "It makes good business sense for us to have accepted this offer."

Window Cleaner Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 so...? has OxO or is that just paper talk..? Pilkington is too old to be a prodigy.The papers like em young and spectacular. If we don't get 10 million of Ox now I doubt that we ever will,we'll get money to be sure but not that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 so...? has OxO or is that just paper talk..? I don't doubt for a minute that Arsenal, Man Utd etc were after him, they definitely scouted him and probably put in an enquiry to the club, but I don't think that the talks were as advanced as the papers let on. The clubs will have sent a couple of scouts to watch him at a few games and then maybe spoken briefly to NC and been rebuffed by a £10m asking price for a 17 year-old untested above L1 level.

Thedelldays Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 He well might, but I'd disagree with him! Pilington is good, I've seen him a fair bit, but not, IMO near Lallana or Chamberlain. Taraabt is good and closest to Lallana, but not definitely better. I think some underestimate just how good Lallana has become in recent years. He was doing fine in the championship despite our relegation and has matured into a brilliant player since then. behave mate.....tarabt right now is playing as good, if not better than lallana for a team top of the next league above..scoring winning goals and setting many up.. please, stop this stuff about saints having the best players in the league above....that simply is not true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 (edited) Ambition. A word that doesn't come to mind on hearing that Forte is signing... We've been crying out for pace (more so than for finishers/foxes in the box) -and a mix of forte, chambo and n'guessan should give us it.

Thedelldays Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 imo imo imo imo imo imo imo 'Simply not true' to an OPINION you don't agree with is fcking annoying. I wouldn't swap lallana for tarabt. that's my opinion. I think tarabt is a great player in the championship, I just happen to think Lallana would be too. opinion. i'm sure several clubs are of the opinion that chamberlain would be one of the best championship wingers too. actually, what if i'd said jason puncheon would be a top championship player? because he looked it. i didn't think he would, but i wouldn't have said he wont and claimed some all knowing insight into a player's future performance. you sound like alpine. i hate alpine. it my opinion its not true...how you can say we have two wingers that are better than every single winger in the league above...is daft...IMO..
