James Posted 26 May, 2012 Share Posted 26 May, 2012 Sounds as unlikely as ever BUT could NA see Owen as our Connolly for the Premier League? Experienced head to guide us in a new environment (for most) and' date=' let's face it, if an ex physio manager can't get him fit & playing, no-one can![/quote'] Owen would be a top signing, think of the experience he'd bring to the squad. Assuming we aren't breaking the bank or expecting him to play 38 games a season I see absolutely nothing wrong with this. Also, I'd love to see us bid for Jordan Rhodes if Hudds fail today, don't want them to though as cant stand sheffield united (much prefer Wednesday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And re above - Nidger is not a regular poster, but writing sense such of this above ... well, we don't see sensible posts very often.

SuperMikey Posted 26 May, 2012 Share Posted 26 May, 2012 We would be f*cking stupid not to try and get Kalou or Bosingwa. I sincerely doubt either of them would come here, but they are players worth breaking the wage structure for. Top quality international players. Kalou seems like a pretty balanced individual and Bosingwa was very patient when he wasn't being played and worked hard to earn his first team place. Can't see them being disruptive influences tbh.

Wiggles31 Posted 27 May, 2012 Share Posted 27 May, 2012 I'm sorry but Kalou is a hideously overrated player. He contributes nothing in just about every Chelsea game I've seen which is why he has been released. Boswinga on the other hand is a decent RB but due to wages we have no chance of that. Bagpuss will sign both probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 27 May, 2012 Share Posted 27 May, 2012 Yeah then we could be the new Pompey. We need to stay living within our means. Unlike P*mpey, we probably could afford to shell out £60k on wages. Obviously Cortese doesn't want to do that at the moment, but our finances would probably allow for it.

And do you think that every other player, who is on at the very most half of 60k a week, are going to be really happy for that to happen?

This whole process of bringing in players on bigger wages needs to be managed gradually and slowly if it is not to cause more problems than it resolves!

Mowgli Posted 27 May, 2012 Share Posted 27 May, 2012 Sky sports have put up an article quoting Scott Brown at Celtic hoping that Gary Hooper and Fraser Forster stay with the club. The way it is worded it seems clear there is a link with Southampton. Something along the lines of the lure of the premier league but the reality that only the top four or five stand a chance of champions league football. That aside, I had not realised that Fraser Forster would be an excellent first choice keeper in waiting to work alongside KD. Still prefer Kasper myself but this would be a good candidate as well.

They've probably taken various post from this thread to come up with the story. If we were ever to off load puncheon, then Blackpool are probably one of two possible clubs who would take him.
