with that money spent, you cant go down...no way..that is QPR spending

 

I agree its a lot of doller but some players cost £45 million alone. If we want to mix it up with the big boys we can't do it with the current squad.

 

IMO we only need a GK, CB, LB, and CF.

Why do we need a LB when we've got arguably the best young LB in the UK playing for us and a decent backup in Fox???

 

Agree that a GK (Robinson), CB, CF are all important, but also a Lallana/Puncheon type wide man is also needed. The key is in the quality and experience of signings though- critical to survival hopes that we get better than what we have.

Everton boss David Moyes is eyeing up a six-month loan deal for Manchester City winger Scott Sinclair, 23.

 

Full story: the Sun

 

 

HCDAJFU....

what a great shout. Expect we'd be a long way down the queue.

What about Landon Donavon on a short deal ? Looked the business for Everton

 

Good shout, think he said he doesn't want to come back to the PL though. Not sure about that though.

Liverpool are looking to loan out Sebastian Coates apparently - thought he looked good in the Olympics for Uruguay. Gaston may also appreciate a fellow countryman at the club.

The players that cost £45m alone go to teams serious about winning the champions league. We want to finish 17th and mixing it with the likes of reading, Norwich and Wigan. Who I'm guessing, we have spent more than the lot of them combined

Been in Prison - he was part of a gang rape : / OK he payed he price for that but still not the kind of players I would like to see in a Saints shirt. Well thats my oppinion anyway.

Dear Mr Cortese

 

It is now mid morning on 2nd January.

 

Will you PLEASE pull your finger out and sign SOMEONE with proven World Class ability, PL experience, pace, creativity, defensive nous is better in the air than SRL, and who is 23 years old or similar. Oh and he needs to play on both wings at the same time.

 

Otherwise I (and I don't doubt some others) will be forced to read another 400 pages of inane drivel from a manic depressive in Europe.

 

Thanks in anticipation.

What about Douglas from Twente?

 

Apparently are Reading in for him but surely he could do better.

His contract is due this summer so could be relatively cheap...

Posted
The African Jimmy Saville.....no thanks

 

Exactly. Let him go to a club with no moral fibre like QPR or the sh*te down the road. He's also rubbish. And we don't need another striker surely?!?!

I think we need the most urgent transfer activity is at the back...

 

 

GK

Marc-André Ter Stegen- young but very commanding german keeper

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1324524-top-50-young-players-in-world-football-right-now-21-and-under/page/38

 

or try and temp Hanover into selling Man United prospect Ron Robert-Zieler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron-Robert_Zieler

 

Both would be excellent choices imo and cheaper and more experienced than Butland.

 

DEFENDERS

 

Unsettled Serb Slobodan Rajkovic has class and could definitely do a job

 

But I would really loved to see NC stump up the cash and buy this bloke http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toby_Alderweireld

I like the CB pairing we have already, we need cover not a starter.

Absolute rubbish.

 

If Fonte gets injured vs Chelsea or Villa and is out for the season then "cover" becomes "starter". As NA said pre Arsenal, anyone who comes in has to improve us.

 

Whoever comes in might not start straight away but if they are not as good as Yoshida or Fonte then why the hell would we sign them. To improve we need to but better than what we have. If Yoshida keeps playing well he will stay in the side, but we arent going to purposely buy a "cover" player. No chance.

Charlton have a young CB call Dan Seaborne who impresses me. Would be a good back up CB signing IMO.

And lets not forget Gillingham's future England goalie in the making, Forecast whilst we're at it.

Fonte is punching above his weight at the moment. I think we need to bring in some real premiership quality at CB and GK and so we don't start next season like we did this or even worse, last.

Ter Stegen will never cost less than Butland in my opinion.

 

True barometer of all these things being Football Manager.

 

Interestingly (well, not really) I singed both him and Davide Astori for Saints. Defence looks decent. Stegen set me back £21m.

Not what we need but decent player none-the-less.

 

"West Bromwich Albion midfielder Graham Dorrans has been told he can look for a new club this month, according to the Press Association. The Scotland international was left out of West Brom's 18-man squad for their 1 January defeat to Fulham despite being fit."

Not so much a HCDAJFU but Ba leaving Newcastle is surely good news for us. Lets just hope they don't reinvest the money wisely.

 

they've lined up Debuchy already, so that will shore up their defence a bit. Then they'll go for another front man but their problems won't end until they get Cabaye back.

They are allegedly ready to pay 10m for Loic Remy, who was widely coveted a couple of years ago, but has only scored 1 goal in 14 in Ligue 1 this season.

10 million for Remy isn't very wise. Not worth half that because he is a total sicknote of late. Then again that happens a lot at Marseille. There's always friction and skullduggery everywhere at the OM.

I may be way off the mark, but wasn't he linked with Spurs for a fee about twice that a couple of years ago?

 

Or was that someone else?

No the OM bought him for a lot from Lyon, maybe 18/20 million euros so double would be feasible in a rumoured Lyon-Spurs move at the time. That was when they were financed by Dreyfuss (Adidas). Bought Remy and Gignac for a total of about 40 million euros. Gignac has started scoring again since Deschamps has gone but Remy is still often injured.

Ah ok, cheers pal.

That, Sir, is a sensible suggestion. How do we get it to the desk of Adkins or Cortese, though?
