Fitzhugh Fella Posted 4 June, 2012 Share Posted 4 June, 2012 The phrase "Scottish" and "Goalkeeper" has never gone together well IMHO With the possible exception of Campbell Forsyth.

saintchris23 Posted 5 June, 2012 Share Posted 5 June, 2012 For all those wishing for Danny Murphy, as someone who has watched a lot of Filham over the last four years, his legs have gone and can only last 60-70 minutes maximum at PL pace. He poses another problem in that he's a very clever, deep lying, ball player. Something we have Morgan Schneiderlin for.

Nidger Posted 5 June, 2012 Share Posted 5 June, 2012 Forgot him. But that was a january one for cover, I don't think we'll see any like that this summer as there's plenty of time (and hopefully money) to plan for the season ahead and longer term with permanent signings. Loan signings are usually used for 1 of 2 reasons: 1) To provide cover for the team the player is loaned to; or 2) To give the player the chance to gain valuable 1st team experience You could argue that in some cases both of the above reasons are applicable. I would advise caution when bringing in a player where there is the potential to sign them at the end of the deal. There have been examples of players playing well and trying really hard to earn the contract, and then failing to maintain that level of performance once they have earned their permanent contrct. The main Saints example that springs to mind is Marek Saganowski. I'm not saying that loan sigings are a bad idea, I just think there are some risks attached. I can see us loaning out more players than we bring in on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Randell Posted 5 June, 2012 Share Posted 5 June, 2012 That's not true. Falque signed a new deal with Spurs the day he signed on loan for us.

farawaysaint Posted 5 June, 2012 Share Posted 5 June, 2012 I can't help but feel Falque was a Cortese signing on the back of a poor recent run of results. We had two widemen out if I recall? Seemed a sensible cover signing at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasgow_Saint Posted 5 June, 2012 Share Posted 5 June, 2012 Said this about 20 times since he left, but this idea that Saganowski turned on that form to earn a contract is insane. He worked hard when scoring and worked hard when missing. Are we honestly suggesting the guy was so good, he could merely choose to score prolifically when on loan, but for some reason not when permanently signed?! For a lazy player who tries hard on loan then sits back and takes the money perhaps, but that wasn't the situation at all.

Midfielder De Bruyne, 20, joined from Genk for £7m in January. Emphasises the gap between the big 4 or 5 clubs & the rest. We're looking to buy a £7 million forward as a record signing, Chelsea are looking to loan their £7 million signing out to get some games in the Prem. Nonetheless, yes please (& if he wants Courtois to come along too, that would be just fine)!

david in sweden Posted 6 June, 2012 Share Posted 6 June, 2012 I haven't been counting, but we must have been linked with about 20 or more players since the end of the season. Everyone's quick to blame agents, and empty-headed journo's without a storyline to print, and not without reason - but give a thought to the bookies.. They have most to gain by spreading / creating rumours and then taking bets on it. I've yet to meet anyone who'd taken the bookies to the cleaners on a regular basis, and lesser still ..seen a poor bookie ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 6 June, 2012 Share Posted 6 June, 2012 Are Chelsea just going to try and sign everyone? They don't even have a manager and Hazard and Hulk come in. With Mata and Sturridge that's a lot of wide options for De Bruyne to get near the team. Have they said for certain that Di Matteo won't get the job? Chances are they're just negotiating a managers contract for him. Plus, Mata also plays central just behind the striker and Sturridge plays up front. They're a very interchangeable team.

With Mata and Sturridge that's a lot of wide options for De Bruyne to get near the team. Lets not forget about Marko Marin either! It looks like Chelsea are signing players to get the best out of Torres (especially now that Drogba is off). An attacking midfield 3 of Mata, Hazard & Marin would surely create enough chances for the real Torres to show his undoubted class! This doesn't leave much room for Kevin De Bruyne however, so the loan rumour does appear to have some substance to it IMO. I doubt we'll be able to add a buy clause in to the loan contract because I think that Chelsea hav ehigh hopes for him and will want o keep him for the future. I wouldn't mind him spending a season at St Mary's thougb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
