S-Clarke Posted 24 August, 2013 Share Posted 24 August, 2013 Nothing to substantiate this, but the comment on Football Rumours that LB Aaron Cresswell could be coming to Southampton with Billy Sharp moving to Ipswich would seem very attractive if true. A Championship FB regarded as having Prem potential would be the ideal competition or cover for Luke Shaw. Unfortunately it's on football rumours, so has no substance what so ever. Would be ideal if it were true though. In a way, we're not in a bad position in terms of bidding for ''young'' FL players. Hammond, Sharp, Fox etc -would all be very attractive to FL teams, so include any of those in a deal would push things on a bit further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiesaint Posted 26 August, 2013 Share Posted 26 August, 2013 I see that Duvan Zapata, who was linked with us earlier in the window before being linked with West Ham & QPR has signed for Napoli.

Spurs are paying through the nose for everything that moves, desperately seeking to regain fan approval when they sell Bale. Bale made their season last year, without him they'd have been in the direly dire and nothing has changed. Capoué is bolloaks and Soldado looks like a 30 milion£ penalty king.

Expect that he'd play an AMC role behind Soldado as they certainly need someone with a bit more creatvity given that Dembele always seems to be crocked. Shame if we miss out on him - we were crying out for someone with his vision and ability to play the killer ball, against Sunderland.

Toon Saint Posted 27 August, 2013 Share Posted 27 August, 2013 Spurs moving for Mata, their first option I would guess. Banega might be the last minute backup if nothing else comes off for them... Mata is the best AMC in the Premier Leage IMO, really don't get why Mourinho doesn't appear to rate him. Wondering whether he is on an ego trip and has taken an irrational dislike to him as he is the fans favourite. Would be an incredible coup for Spurs if they pull it off, and as you say, probably just putting the feelers out for Banega to see if anything could be done last-minute. I saw the Spurs-Banega tweet on the Guardian blog first of all, and they were estimating that it would take a bid of 30m euro to prise him away from Valencia. Weren't reports suggesting we would bid around £7-8 million? Quite a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mata doesnt move he will play eventually, JM always has been a 'build a solid team first' sort of manager and looking at it he believes that his other attacking options have more about them defensively then Mata has. I do agree though he is an incredible AM and has grown a lot sonce leaving Spain. Very surprised that Jose is looking at AM options when he probably needs a DM and a striker.

Chambers is appearing to be "better safe than sorry" and doesn't yet have the confidence or experience of Shaw to bang forward at every opportunity" The new crop of nippers need SOME game time this year and more development work - so it actually makes a lot of sense to bring in a quality Loan for a season as those kids could be doing the business by next pre-season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other youngsters (Rowe Read and Sinclair) you mentioned also have plenty of other players in front of them already. It's not like we will be relying on them the whole season. My entire point. All those nippers will get SOME game time this year, odd sub appearances Cup games (maybe Chambers can keep his place of course?!?) BUT next season they could all be able to play even start 4, 5, 6 games. Then you have your squad depth as they all look capable of being able TDAJFU. By bringing in a Season long loan now we do not block their progress for next season. The Loan will have to be a hell of a player to force out any of our current MF or Attack options IF they all play to their potential every week, so he becomes the cover, the alternative off the bench (ie what we kinda hoped Mayuka would be this season). With the squad we now have, we've got good cover, Christ, Fonte has been in the Team of the Week two weeks running and earned a bunch of points on my mate's Fantasy Football and Maya will improve to at least last season's level when he was half decent. Don't think we need to load too many more into the squad right now on 3 year deals when the kids could be as good or better - unless Banega, Mata or Luiz or Ronaldo come in on a Freebie of course We can always bring someone else in January, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
