Bewildered Posted 4 July, 2013 Share Posted 4 July, 2013 what left back would join, to play 2nd fiddle. to a kid? not asking for the second coming of roberto carlos, just a decent LB who has a better (some) grasp of defending than danny fox. every other team in the PL managed to have 2 lbs better than fox last season with no problem whatsoever.

Saint Charlie Posted 4 July, 2013 Share Posted 4 July, 2013 Forren and Lovren, both played at LB in the CL, both lefties. Lovren is a righty. If Forren has no pace he won't be covering at LB. Shaw, Fox, Targett are our LBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeShmoe Posted 4 July, 2013 Share Posted 4 July, 2013 So basically we've made bids for Damiao, Banega and Wanyama. Celtic have accepted so it's up to the player.The other two my guess the clubs/agents are sitting on them, leaking numbers to the press to drive up the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 4 July, 2013 Share Posted 4 July, 2013 (edited) Lovren is a righty. If Forren has no pace he won't be covering at LB. Shaw, Fox, Targett are our LBs. Lovren must be a 2 footer then, predominant use of left last time I saw him at Gerland. Targett....dream on, if he was ready we wouldn't have tried some of the daft schemes we used last season when shaw was out. He's older than Shaw I think ? ah no,couple of months younger.

At least one can hope He´s not welcome back at Roma I would think so he has to find another club, and if he finds a club which dont meet Romas demands of the fee those are not any options for him....

ART Posted 4 July, 2013 Share Posted 4 July, 2013 Gutted the direction our transfer shopping list is taking. Have we learned nothing from our Delgado, Kleber fiasco? Players who will spend most of their time away in South America and using Saints to build up on their fitness for such games. I czn accept European players but we could be signing young and top UK players for the money. A raid on the likes of Chelsea could find us some excellent players of the category of Jack Cor and Schneiderlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS1980 Posted 4 July, 2013 Share Posted 4 July, 2013 Seems we are going for a smaller but better quality squad this season. Hope those that are free to leave do go rather than just on loan. Would still like a winger to come in too. Fox and chambers as back up full backs this season too then I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
