Rebel Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 Whichever division we are in next season I think we'll make bids for Hooper and Jay Rod, possibly Matt Phillips, and probably Upson and Scott Dann. Signing them is another matter though as other clubs will be interested in them - obviously if we do get promoted we'll have a much better chance of doing so!

Step 1: Read the posts in order. Step 2: Reply to the correct post, m'kay? I never said it was likely, but I said it should be a player we target. I have no idea who we are targetting this Summer, no-one does. This is a player on loan from a German club near the bottom of the table, on loan at a small mid table Prem club in their first season in the Prem. He has been linked it the **** papers to bigger clubs but so was Robert Koren when he was available on a free tranafer a couple of years ago, and he went to Hull in the Championship. Scott Dann and Roger Johnson were linked with Arsenal etc, ended up at Wolves and Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted 18 April, 2012 Author Share Posted 18 April, 2012 It does stun me that prior to the Blackpool game someone started a who will our first game of next season be? The farmer let the sheep out and we have Premiership teams in the first few posts, and looks what happens Now we have this little gem rock up! Obviously there are a few on here who do not subscribe to what Mr Adkins says every chuffin week, "it's easy to get ahead of ourselves" "lets stay in the here and now and take one game at a time". Still before long we will have the HCDAJFU thread riddled with every pit pony and glue pot in football we should sign. Just look at Norwich and Swansea who did not make wholesale changes, compared to QPR who piddled pennies up the wall on the likes of Barton and SWP who have proved to be a waste of space. So glad that someone came up with the 'lets not rush things' option but I think it very unlikely that Nigel Adkins is not planning for the future. The one game at a time statement might be OK for public consumption but any manager who did not plan for all eventualities and did not look ahead would not be doing his job. As far as signings are concerned if you want maximum choice you have to be early through the door. Its as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmel Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 I think there may be some disapointed people (Assuming we go up) in the summer. We will of course add a few new faces, but I really don't see wholesale changes. That's nothing to do with the finances, but we have locked down pretty much all of the main playing squad into longer contracts and believe they will all be rewarded with a chance to prove themselves in the Premiership. Some will sink and some will swim. A couple who we might expact to cut it easily, won't and players who we assumme won't make it will make the jump up in style. Anything we have acheived has been done as a tight unit, we re not about to (IMO) rip that into shreds and bring in five more starting players. The players we have will be rewarded for their success and given a chance at the Prem. It will be (If we go up) a tough season, but not impossible.

david in sweden Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 Competition's one thing, signing 3 left midfielders seems... strange.[/QUOTE] Strange ?....I think it's nothing short of a miracle. How on earth did we find three lefties good enough to put on the shirt? .but it's not so mad as it sounds. One of our shortcomings in the past has been the lack of left-sided defenders/midfielders, and in consequence allowing attacking sides, (with mostly right-sided players) to exploit our "weaker " left side. Having players with defensive abilities on both flanks is surely a big plus - don't you think ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 .... this is going to be the bane of the summer... constant criticism that we are not signing 'quality' balah blah.... I do not think we will be going mad in the summer - think 2 or 3 signings that will nnot be household names.... remember the words - 'self sustaining in the premiership.' I agree with you and Gemmel that they don't need to be household names and the last thing we want is players with poor attitudes on huge wages. Having said that, to think that we would be at all competitive in the PL with only 2-3 front line signings is utter madness and I'm pretty sure Adkins and Cortese know that as well. Look closely at how many new faces Norwich and Swansea have brought in on contracts but also loans. Gk - Bart's nerves would never take the strain of the PL, keep him as emergency that we loan out. Kelvin has been brilliant in the last 4 seasons but thinking of his UEFA badges now and lots of speculation in January linking us to keepers so expect competition DR - Richardson might hold his own but Butterfield would get destroyed. Depends how ready Jack Stephens might be DL - Less of a worry with Fox, Harding might do OK with limited number of starts. The key is making sure whoever plays wide left, and we assume that's Lallana, tracks back to help Fox cope with the extra pace coming at him DC - Two new players minimum here if we are being realistic. One could be a loan signing like Caulker at Swansea. Jaidi will retire, Seaborne needs a season-long NPC loan subject to medical prognosis as does Martin. Would be cruel to throw them in the deep end should Fonte or Jos be missing. MC - Clearly we need pace and power in here. Morgan is nailed on to start and should thrive. Cork and Chaplow will do a good job but Hammond has struggled at times this season so might be a squad player taking short loans to the NPC to keep fresh MR - Clearly going to be a signing here, no-one has made this spot their own. I'd like to see Adomah, he's a bit raw still and had a poor second half to the season but exactly the sort of pace and power than NA and staff can improve into a quality player ML - Lallana owns this spot and Fox/Chaplow can play here too. Lower priority Strikers - People are forgetting Lee has a nasty injury and may not be fully fit until Xmas but NA and NC haven't. So would expect 2 arrivals here - one perm and one loan, probably J Rod/Hooper to rotate with Lambert as Norwich have been so astute with Morison and Holt, it has kept them both fresh and firing and then a pace option on loan. So I'd reckon 6-7 players at least coming in which is normal for newly promoted clubs. We didn't have to buy many last summer because we already had a good NPC side in League One with a wage bill to match. Don't forget that we have a lot of players that will be going or retiring too to free up space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no point in having Guly too. I'd loan out Bart and Barnard to the Championship to see if they have what it takes, as I'm undecided on both at the moment. Jaidi is retiring and will get a coaching job at SMS. I would expect Connolly to get another one year extension. I knows he's been injured again, but everyone agrees he's class and Kevin Phillips is still going strong at 38 - despite injuries. Butterfield has already signed a one year extension and has done himself no harm with his temporary sub. job for Richardson - expect the same formula next season, or until we sign an international RB instead. I go along with most of the rest - except Guly - somehow I feel that the NPc is beneath him a bit. I don't mean that he's top class, but I think that Prem. football would give him a new lease of life..where his skill can flourish.as it will many others like Schneiderlin, Cork, Lallana and Lambert. However, I do agree that we need a couple of other strikers (1 signed and perhaps 1 loaned). It looks a lot on paper- at present, but with Barnards future STILL uncertain, and Connolly's in and out injury record, T. Lee will take time to recover to the pace we saw in his first games...which leaves us very little cover on the bench. Heaven fordid..if Billy or Rickie were to be out for any period of time..we'd be at rock bottom for alternatives. I'm also in for... a top keeper to go with KD, another big centre half, and a " Jimmy Case clone " to toughen up the midfield.

pingwing Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 If brum don't go up id want to see a bid for Curtis Davis, same for Ben Forster (or try and blag Frasier Forster if he doesn't end up at Celtic). Any one of Ebanks-Blake, Doyle or Fletcher could be worth a punt when Wolves get relegated. Blackburn have plenty of decent players I would want to get too, Olsson (left back) would be class (but relegate Harding), Hanley impressed me, Nzonzi would be amazing, Hoilett would be good for a few years but could be destined for big things. Robinson would be good, despite his age and wages, or Mark Bunn could be a good shout too. On reflection I am amazed Blackburn could go down as theres some decent players there... Bolton have a Rio-Coker who would be alright and Ngog would be a good addition too. Would love some of the Man City kids that are just repeatedly out on loan too, Boyata could really add something if he's not too expensive.

I knows he's been injured again, but everyone agrees he's class and Kevin Phillips is still going strong at 38 - despite injuries. Gordon Bennett, you cannot be serious? I don't agree he's class for a start. I've seen him go missing against some pretty average NpC teams this season. He's getting older, he has injury problems and he's been averaging about 5 goals a season for several years now? How on Earth do you see a place for him in the squad along with Lambert, Sharp, Lee, Guly and a probable new signing. You want 6 strikers on the books when we can only have 2 on the pitch at any given time, why? Disagree about Guly too, why do people think a player who often struggles in NpC is suddenly going to be good in the Premier League? He wont have more space, that's just nonesense. If he struggled to make inroads into defences like Pompey's this year, how is he going to stand up against Terry, Kompany and Vidic? I'm pretty sure he will stay, but I don't agree with it.

Ludwig Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 Feel we should be looking for young hungry players, in addition to a bit of PL experience. Nathaniel Clyne, Matt Phillips, Nathan Redmond, Jacob Butterfield, Sean Murray, Henri Lansbury, Gylfi Sigurdsson are the types of players that fit the right sort of mould for me. Could quite possibly move to more established clubs than us, but we'd give them regular playing time and an opportunity to shine. Would like to see us bring in a back-up to Davis who would replace him, Jack Butland possibly. I'd want experienced players in defence/midfield. Though Dann/Johnson aren't having the best of seasons, they have been highly-rated at one point or another. If anything, downwards trajectory of their current clubs gives us more of a chance to sign them. Would prefer to sign players their age than the likes of Upson (who seems past it to me). Not really got any experienced midfielders in mind, though. Will be interesting to see who we end up with, if we are promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 What signings should Saints make during the summer? How soon should the club start looking? Do we already have a list of possibles? Just in case anyone thinks that's a bit premature, Reading's prospective new owner claims that Reading have been scouting for Prem players for the past 3 weeks and that they do have a list of targets. That suggests they were thinking about next season well before promotion was certain for them when there were still about 8 games to go and they were only 2 points ahead of West Ham. It suggests that the one game at a time philosophy may not be the approach at Reading. They have performed better than we have over the last 3 months, doing us for 3 - 1 at home on the way but given the attention they are getting, it would be very nice if they lose at Birmingham and we pip them for the title! It does look as if complacency is not in Reading's forward plan and I don't think anyone would accuse Cortese of complacency so what do we expect to happen to our squad in the close season? Will there be a well-earned rest after which the club will see who's still available in July, or will we hit the ground running? Or maybe there will be loyalty to the players who won promotion with only minimal changes unless or until we start losing games. Will there be a major clear out of fringe players and one or two who are creeping over the hill? Who wants to see us hit the ground running and who thinks we can wait until August? Assuming for one minute that this isnt previous (which of course it is), you have prompted me into my yearly speech where I say that I would like to see, just for once, Saints complete their bsuiness early, set their stall out, and hit the ground running, aiming to have the "safe" points on the board as early as possible. I am sure NA already has a mental list of targets to chase; I would preferr us to avoid all this hand-wringing and poncing about where we wait to the last nanosecond to see who becomes surplus to requirements - just for once.

Why ignore loans? We've done very well in the loan market over the last couple of seasons. I will be very supprised if we do not bring a player or 2 in on loan during the next transfer window. Loans give the club the option to try before we buy/fill gaps in the squad. Jos was first here on loan. Why is Richard Chaplow not home grown?

mdearlove Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 Was at the Sporting Lisbon vs Bilbao game last night and 2 players stood out - Diego Capel and Marat Izmailov. Capel ran the right wing all night long and scored a really good winner for Sporting. Izmailov was playing behind the main striker and has really quick feet. Both would be good, although Capel would be brilliant on the right of midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdearlove Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 probably not - but he is the kind of right winger we need. Only cost Sporting €3.5mil (€30 mil release clause mind!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
