Players For The PREMIER LEAGUE!!

[SOTONS EAST SIDE]

Who do you think we can get!!

[The Kraken]

Messi, Cronaldo and Iain Dowie out of retirement.

[ThreeSixty]

Owen wants on the bus

Well done Southampton. Great club and good to see them back in The Premier League.

[Glasgow_Saint]

Nathaniel Clyne (Crystal Palace), James Tomkins (West Ham), Curtis Davies (Brum) Peter Whittingham (Cardiff), Matt Phillips (Blackpool), Jay Rodriguez (Burnley).

[stardustonmyfeet]

Kaka

[Ozkeith2]

Berbatov?

I don't like signing players from relegated teams 'cos they seem to have a habit of getting relagated again (eg: Quashie, Parker), but if we had to, how about: Jarvis, SWP, Junior Hoilet.

[Ashby Saint]

At least a partner for Jos. A right midfielder / right winger. Depth everywhere else.

[Saint_Jonny]

Oh **** they let Tim on the radio. Day ruined. :D

[ozzmeister]

Siggarson (sp)

[suewhistle]

Not yet, for goodness sake, I've got a beer or two to finish before I hit the town....

[MOSaint]

No thanks to SWP, a player on the decline. If we want a winger from a relegated team would prefer Hoilett or Chung Yong Lee at Bolton

[saintsmonkey]

theo walcott and gareth bale

[Ozkeith2]

Walcott, Bale, AOC, Dyer, Surman, Crouch, Higgy, Delap .... I'd take the first 5

[Foxstone]

Nathaniel Clyne (Crystal Palace), James Tomkins (West Ham), Curtis Davies (Brum) Peter Whittingham (Cardiff), Matt Phillips (Blackpool), Jay Rodriguez (Burnley).

 

I would agree with all of those and Gary Hooper for good measure..

[Lighthouse]

I've mentioned this before but as this is apparently the official HCDAJFU, Niko Kranjcar.

 

I'd also take Clyne, Tomkins/C.Davies (at least 1 definitely wont get promoted), JRod and Phillips from those listed above.

[positivepete]

Must say some the Coventry youngsters were pretty good today, may be a few for our development squad should they go pop. The right back, centre half, (Cranie also played well today) and the striker that came on all had good games.

[Foxstone]

See if we can prise Jarvis away from Wolves perhaps:

[itchen_dan]

Schmeichel, Scott Dann, Snodgrass, Rodriguez, Hooper.

[stev2001]

Nathaniel Clyne (Crystal Palace), James Tomkins (West Ham), Curtis Davies (Brum) Peter Whittingham (Cardiff), Matt Phillips (Blackpool), Jay Rodriguez (Burnley).

 

Not bad would be happy with those, none would demand huge wages.

[stev2001]

Schmeichel, Scott Dann, Snodgrass, Rodriguez, Hooper.

 

I like these too. I can't wait to see who we get. Play offs will decide some decisions

[scotty]

I thought Carl Baker looked terrific today. Finding space all the time, and using it well.

[Super_Saint]

Shaqiri

[Thedelldays]

Their number 8?

He was very very good

[up and away]

What those Coventry youngsters showed me was that we need 6/7 new players for the Premier. Adkins has never had to deal with the pace and power of the Premier so it's going to be interesting how things turn out.

[Golac's Iron Gonads]

I'd make a little inquiry into the availability of Ji sung Park.

[scotty]

Their number 8?

He was very very good

 

Yes, out on the right. Seemed to always be getting into really good wide positions, perfect for a cut-inside and shot or a dangerous cross. I was impressed, we didn't seem to be able to track him at all.

[Glasgow_Saint]

I'd make a little inquiry into the availability of Ji sung Park.

 

For the new training ground?

[Supersubpuckett]

If we have got some decent money in the budget, I think we should go for a couple of experienced premier league midfielders. Throw in a few defenders also - the current lot would get ripped to shreds.

 

I think lampard would be a good shout if chelsea try to off load him.

 

There's no point in going for good champ/releg players as we already have that standard.

 

but anyway, what a bloody marvellous debate to be able to have!!!

[the saint in winchester]

Haha, Lampard. What's he on a week? £100k? Not in our budget.

We have the summer to decide acquisitions. Good times.

[Rebel]

We need to bring in 6 or 7 new players without a doubt - plus 4 or 5 loans.

 

I would expect Gary Hooper and Jay Rodriguez to be on the shopping list along with players Like Scott Dann and Curtis Davies if Brum City don't make it up. We should also look at Matt Phillips and Tom Ince if Blackpool don't make it up either.

 

I'd have Martin Cranie and Andrew Surman back as well.

 

We should also look to get 4 or 5 young players in on loan from the premier league big boys - players with real potential like Josh McCreachan from Chelsea, John Guidetti from Man City, Riyo Miyachi from Arsenal and Jonjo Shelvey from Liverpool.

 

I think we'll also see one or two players from the Dutch first division and the Italian Serie A join us.

Calm down.

 

We don't and won't need that many new players.

 

We will sign 3 or 4 new additions like we did last year and the year before, but I expect the panic to ensue when we haven't bought a new team.

[Saint137]

We don't need any players. Look at what Swansea & Norwich have achieved by giving the players wot go them promotion the chance. Our squad will be massively motivated to be playing in the top flight (only Kelvin has done so I think, assuming Connoly retires?). Let them DAJFU and strengthen in January if needed. They deserve it.

[bubblyone]

Their number 8?

He was very very good

Agreed!

Maybe lacks a bit of pace but used the ball intelligently.

I think Frazer might have played in the top flight at Leeds..couldn't be sure about that though.Cork certainly did at Burnley and maybe Fox as well.

 

Where do you think Swansea would be without Sigurdsson? or any of their other recruits like Routledge and Caulker for that matter.

[doggface]

We need prem players with speed, all depends on budget.

 

Ohara would be great

Moses or hoilett would be unbelievable but probably destined for greater things and out of our budget.

 

1 striker, rodelega or odemwinge.

 

Cb Curtis Davies

 

Gk- need a challenger for kelv

 

We need 5-6 and a clear out with a few out on loan

 

Barney

Seaborne

Reeves

Martin need npc experience.

 

Is de ridder good enough?

Is hammond capable?

[Golac's Cunning Stunts]

Llorente from Athletic Bilbao please :-)

[Lazlo78]

We also need to keep the nucleus of our team in place or we'll lose all momentum from the last two years. Improve on a few key positions but keep faith in this team!

[SOTONS EAST SIDE]

Adkins said the team will need to evolve with the right players, i think they proberly have sounded out some players already. And will now be able to target higher calibre players now were PROMOTED!!!

[SO16_Saint]

How much do you reckon we will spend?

 

£10M?

 

More?

[Lighthouse]

Andriy Yarmolenko. He's basically the Ukrainian Adam Lallana, although proven at a higher level. Plays for Dynamo Kiev, wouldn't come cheap.

[DrunkenSaint]

This is very true but we do have big question marks on many players since we can not deal with pace or width and most of the Premiership teams play with both. At least 2 new defenders, 2 midfielders and 1 striker is needed but id start off getting the 2 defenders and sort out our right midfield. I believe Lee will be great for us in the premier so we might not need a striker.

[Nexstar]

Schmeichel, Curtis Davies, Clyne, Kightly, Hooper, Phillips

[hypochondriac]

Hooper is nailed on.

[Chez]

Gordon, Davies, Mutch, Zaha, Phillips

 

never gonna happen, but gotta aim high.

Edited 28 April, 2012 by Chez

[Dalek2003]

Hooper is nailed on.

My arse !

[Mr Saints]

We'll break the club transfer record without a doubt.

 

I expect Hooper will come in and I reckon we'll go for the pick of the Championship players (Norwich style).

[Lighthouse]

Given choice of Hooper or JRod who would you have?

 

Hooper - 23 in 45 games in Scotland

JRod - 21 in 42 in NpC

 

I'd probably go with JRod on the basis the Celtic are under the illusion that the SPL is good. As such they will probably demand ludicrous fees for their top players. Burnley will struggle to hold on to Rodriguez this summer, he will got to the Prem one way or another. He is also a year or 2 younger.

[Chez]

Given choice of Hooper or JRod who would you have?

 

neither, we are desperate for some pace and they both just offer more of the same.

[hypochondriac]

My arse !

 

Well we will see wont we.

[anothersaintinsouthsea]

Would be happy with: Scott Sinclair, Matt Phillips, Curtis Davis, Emmanuel Frimpong (loan), Nathanial Clyne, and a young keeper (from Europe to get better value).
