wasn't he on loan at Swansea last season & spent most of it on the bench ?

 

He was. I was listening to a journo who is very close to the Chelsea camp talk the other day, he said that Chelsea are going to take a bit more consideration about loaning their players out from now on.

Swedish international Emir Bajrami is available from Twente. Have had a tough season but he is a good pacy winger who knows how to beat his man.

Obviously, as you've not mentioned him, you mean to play alongside Spiderman (who imho is 'real quality' as you put it!)? ;)

 

Yes, I'm assuming the club will want someone to complement Morgan in the attacking MF role.

Regarding the CM choice what happened to the Steven Davis from Rangers rumour?

 

It was probably just that, a rumour. Shame because I really rate him. If we ship out a CM (Hammond, Chaplow etc) then he would be great to bring in so we can rotate our centre midfield with more quality.

 

Yes, I'm assuming the club will want someone to complement Morgan in the attacking MF role.

 

Imo we also need someone to provide some strength and bulk at CM as well. Hammond plays that kind of role but I think he's too lightweight to be effective at it in the Prem.

 

Someone like Birmingham had this year in N'Daw, big strong bloke but can pass the ball quite well too. I would love us to sign Liam Trotter, think he'd be perfect for us.

I have noticed that a Saints fan asked Alan Nixon when the international transfer window opens and about us transfer-wise etc and he said:

 

"It barely matters as u can't play until friendlies in July anyway. Some deals set up already."

If there was any truth in this we may have been waiting to today as 1st June is when rangers players salary go back to full amount and as a result their release clauses kick in so would be cheaper to buy.

Joey Barton would be a good signing.

 

He is going to Pompey as soon as the embargo is lifted. They offered a higher salary than anyone else including LA Galaxsy and some team owned by the Satan of Brunai.

That was a general comment, not saints related.

Has anyone else notices that Newcastle and Saints seem to chasing a lot of the same players (allegedly). Presumably this is something to do with Pardew memorising the 'wish list' he was given by scouts at Southampton.

Posted
@RealAgentSouth saying we're interested in Ben Foster' date=' with QPR. Prob BS but would be a great signing.[/quote']

 

What about Wes brown? has he heard anything? This is the big one.

My mates girlfriend works at 'The Pig' in Brockenhurst. He was there for a wedding, nothing more.

 

Had a lovely 16oz T-Bone steak there a couple of months ago. Nice place.

Probably more to the fact that we are working to similar transfer budgets.

Fatty.

 

Incidentally, I hope we sign Ben Foster.

gonna be shot down in flames for this, but why so excited about signing a premier league reject/contract up player? those players arent going to be enthused about going from chelski to play for us, they will feel washed out ...we need to be looking in other places for players, not premier league out of contract pages

Because you can then spend your budget on others??

Pick 3 realistic signings from that list (Drogba doesn't count as realistic :lol:):

 

I'd go for Danny Murphy, Salomon Kalou and Craig Gordon.

can't ever see him being a player we would go for...but probrebnyak..?

Posted
Any idea why Hoilett isn't on that list?

Because he's under 24 and Blackburn have offered him a new contract of equal or higher value to his previous one, so technically they still retain his registration unless another club agrees compensation with them.

Posted

Assuming deals aren't agreed with the players on the released list this would be my revised transfer targets list.

 

Craig Gordon

Kieran Trippier

Curtis Davies

Danny Murphy

Thomas Ince/Matt Phillips

Dani Benitez

Jay Rodriguez

Posted
Murphy, Gordon and Guthrie would be a decent trio.

I'd maybe swap Murphy for Hargreves on a pay as you play deal.

 

How many Premier League footballers do you think have ever agreed to sign for a club "pay as you play deal"?

I see. Would be a fantastic signing but imagine he'll go to one of the top six...

Suspect it's more likely he'll go abroad as the compensation payable would be fixed at around £750k, he's been linked with a few Bundesliga clubs. Domestically, reports suggest it could be anything up to around £5m.
