gammon cheeks Posted 9 May, 2012 Share Posted 9 May, 2012 07 May 2012 16:14:43 Jay Rodriguez (£6m), Matt Jarvis (£5m), Curtis Davies (£3.5m), Matt Phillips (£3m) and Mark Davies (£1.75m) are all on Nigel Adkins' transfer wish list. Radhi Jaidi (retired), David Connolly (released), Lee Holmes (Swindon - free), Jonathan Forte (Stevenage - free), Aaron Martin (Swindon - loan), Lee Barnard (Sheff Wed - 500K) and Dan Seaborne (Bournemouth - loan) are all set to leave St. Mary's this summer. Source very well placed at Southampton. Expect movement to start next week after players return from their celebratory holiday in Marbella. Would be incredibly happy if this was our transfer dealings this summer! After watching curtis Davies tonight i thought he was pretty average and not better than we have already got.

Foxstone Posted 9 May, 2012 Share Posted 9 May, 2012 Now Birmingham aren't going up. Curtis Davis and Chris Burke CDAJFU Davies yes, I think he is a good player but not sure about Burke. Decent CCC player but don't think he is Prem class. I think he is almost 30 years old too so perhaps does'nt fit our plans on that alone... In a quandry in a way as would love to see Blackpool promoted but equally I would love to see Phillips here.. Now he is a player with a bright future..

MerceSaint28 Posted 10 May, 2012 Share Posted 10 May, 2012 Having watched Zaha play quite a few times live, can't help thinking he would be pefect for Saints... he also has the ability to play out wide...especially as we can't play 442 every game and are gonna need to play 4-2-3-1. Rodrigues would also be a quality addition up top...be delighted with those 2. I think the wing areas are our biggest area of concern as we don't posses the pace and trickery...also i can see Lallana being played in the hole in some games...therefore we are very light Jarvis and Phillips (if Bpool aren't promoted) would be amazing...also what about Xerdan Shaquiri from Basel?? very hot property if he would be interested. In terms of centre mid...i think we would benefit from one more centre midfielder...would love to see Steven N'Zonzi from Blackburn. In defence i like Curtis Davies in centre of defence and either Trippier/ Simpson or Clyne would be excellent at right back. A young up coming back up keeper would be fantastic to push Davis also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's similar to Cork, Morgan, Hammond etc. He scores goals occasionally, but in the last few years he's adjusted to being a central midfield player who rarely gets forward. We won't get Sigurdson, but that's the sort of midfielder we need. Someone who can take the ball in the middle of the park and move forward into the box....and score goals!!

He's considered to be a pretty average player, who is neither bad nor exceptional by Newcastle fans. Apparently he's leaving because Newcastle refuse to pay him the wages he's demanding.

Redmond is certainly a live wire and injected great energy and pace into Brum's game and undoubtedly contributed to their fightback. However, neither of them would add a great deal to us in the Prem at this stage (although Redmond has potential). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
