Saints make 8 million bid for Athletico's Adrian Lopez

Athletico's strikers are not bad are they? ; )

 

Seems like a poor season for him, with the possibility of Falcao leaving perhaps he may get more opportunities next season.....that said they will probably spend to replace Falcao if he does leave.

 

FWIW a friend of mine who is a big spanish football fan, really rates Lopez (as he does Pochettino). Think there could be something in this but we will see?

I saw him come off the bench on Sunday night v Sevilla and he looked pretty useful. Played in a wide position and put in a good cross for a goal. Looked a good technical player and I suspect could play anywhere in the front four. Definitely worth signing if we can get him.

 

Courtois was in goal as well and he looked excellent. He would be a brilliant signing.

I think we will look to get more pacey direct players in those wing positions and there move AL and GR into the support role with the striker as they both don't have that electric pace we are missing sometimes. Especially with RL up top, JR has shown us what a bit more of a pacey direct route can get us. Another player in that mould would do us well and this guy looks that sort.

No chance. He's being used as bait in Chelsea's deal for Falcao.

 

Said the papers!!

 

To be honest with you, Jose Morinho will know all about him and he will decide what's best.

Cant wait for him to be back in the premiership but shame it's with Chelsea.

The German teams have just that and it destroyed two of the best teams in the world.

Jay Rod was too fast for Chelski & Liverpool recently in our home games.

Take care!

 

You are perfectly right of course, but pointing out the importance of pace on here invariably earns you a deeply tiresome response claiming that Jonathon Forte's failure to make much of a impact somehow 'proves' the opposite.
