I haven't really enjoyed the way Koeman has courted Vlaar as he has.

 

But it hasn't caused you any distress either tbh. He probably commented on him once and it doesn't look like we have ever put a bid in for him.

Letting chambers go with his versatility was shocking and also koeman coming out publicly and stating who his numver 1 is has sent us back to square one in the keeper position.

It would have been fairly clear that when a team like Saints spends £10m on a keeper that he would be first choice. Especially if, as suggested, Koeman hasn't loved Boruc's attitude in pre season. I quite like the fact he cuts the bull**** and is honest.

He didn't say it had caused him distress. Koeman has publicly talked about a player contracted to another club in the way that many on here have kicked up about when happening to our players.

 

It's life, it happens. It's no big deal either way.

Why did we sell chambers?

I thought Chambers did a much less public Lovren'esque "won't play for SFC" since his head was at the Emirates so he was 'allowed out the door'

Was chambers going to play second fiddle to clyne ? (As I be leave clyne is a better defender and attacker)

Did we get offered Over the odds for him

 

I agree he will improve, but at this moment we have a better option

 

he might have made CB his own this season

he played 3 times less than shaw did in his break through season. shaw had fox as competition, chambers had clyne

I'd have like to have seen him play center back more, should and probably could have stepped in when fonte/lovren got injured

Specially as that was his position in the under 21s

 

But it would have been too risky playing him as a first choice this season.

 

I do think mopo prefered him to clyne

 

Don't get me wrong I am gutted he's gone

right now though, the general consensus is that we need a defender that can play both RB/CB

I doubt who we get will be as good as chambers, we should have said no

Could it have been down to these rumours of silly contracts, forcing our hand ?

I think most Saint's fans agree with that.

I can hear Koeman laughing in his office: "Lambert is a ******..." :lol:

 

Really? Do you live close to the stadium, or are you on a mobile device? How come he's not with the team up in Liverpool - I'd have thought he travelled with them today.

 

Also, it's not clear from the stars what it is he's describing Rickie as. My guess is "a handful", but the number of letters doesn't match (not sure if it's meant to).

:? Don't know how Koeman would describe Rickie Lambert but I don't doubt that Ronald would prefer Pelle if he would have to choose.

I wish we would sign him. Would pretty much complete our defence.

 

If Lambert is still rambling about Vlaar and Koeman, this suggest that our interest has not ended.

This! If there wasn't something in it then I don't think he would have talked about it

Dutch paper and he said, quite clearly, that he's like him at Saints.

 

Er no he didn't. First of all it was weeks ago. This really is an argument about absolutely nothing. He was asked about a whole range of possible targets including centre-backs and he said Vlaar 'was an option'. He didn't at any point suggest we were in for him and to dismiss him as not someone he would ever consider would surely have been insulting to Vlaar. Then two weeks ago Lambert came out with his gritty hypocritical condemnation of other managers doing exactly the same as him in the local press. Quite why Sky have recycled it now is beyond me.

When you have to fill a rolling 24/7 sports news channel, you'll use and re-cycle pretty much any old crap.

 

Sky should get an award from Greenpeace or Friends of the Earth for their services to Green Journalism for the volume of stuff they recycle.

While we are scratching around for a decent centre half,a position that certainly needs strengthening.....Arsenal have found a great one about to make his Champions league debut....Calum Chambers.

 

Sodding infuriating.

We should of kept him and played him at CB, look absolute quality in that position for the gunners.

 

Absolute quality??? Average at best from what I saw. The one thing that most of the pundits were saying after Arsenal's game was that they looked defensively poor and Chambers was caught out far too many times.

He's 19. Looks completely unfazed at being put in as CB for Arsenal even in CL game. He makes a few mistakes, but has a very mature head on his shoulders. We really did drop a complete bollock letting him go, really do think of all the departures this summer his will turn out to be the most stupid.

If Rojo's agent was playing the field and waiting for a bigger club to come in for him, what were we supposed to do about that? We are never going to have players come here when they can go to Manchester United.

This.

 

We agonise over our CB depth, struggle to land the likes of Vlaar, take on an injured player, and all the time the solution was sat under our f**king nose and we sold him.

Of course, Vectis/Alpine.

 

I recall you always saying that we should play Chambers as a CB and no-one was listening!

 

If we HAD even seen a suggestion from Les or anyone else at the club that Chambers would be our first choice CB this season, you two would have been the first to day we'd gone barking mad and that we need to sign a proven CB.....

I never said any such thing. Was perfectly happy with him playing RB, and always thought he would be better than Clyne. I expected him to move in to MF eventually which was where he started with Saints. Not sure actually that he is first chice CB at Arsenal either, when Mertesacker is back this weekend I guess we will find out.
