S-Clarke Posted 15 July, 2013 Share Posted 15 July, 2013 Banega still feels the most likely. Not quite sure how it'd work formation wise but I'd be too excited too care I think, terrific player. Agreed. convinced myself it was either him of Wanyama, would have been chuffed with either. but to get both, holy ****. ''It's Happening''. Yes, it is.

max_saints Posted 16 July, 2013 Share Posted 16 July, 2013 does this mean we won't be playing with wingers and going for a more narrow formation next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
positivepete Posted 16 July, 2013 Share Posted 16 July, 2013 does this mean we won't be playing with wingers and going for a more narrow formation next season? When did we last play with wingers? The full backs provide the width these days. Ads, Punch and Guly all move inside the majority of the time they get the ball to create space for the full backs. Possession in the middle of the park is the way we will play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to be able to both otherwise we become too predictable. Lallana's game of cutting inside all the time, got snuffed out very quickly in the prem last year.

pingwing Posted 16 July, 2013 Share Posted 16 July, 2013 Puncheon was playing as a winger last season He's never been able to play as a winger! I believe the term is inside forward for someone who only cuts inside and goes for goal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 16 July, 2013 Share Posted 16 July, 2013 Fee might be accepted but whether a player wants to come here and personal terms can be agreed are other cases These things are never easy The way transfers work these days is that the player gets sounded out about move before bid is made. if player interested in move then buying club contacts selling club. BTW the player in question could be christian tello, he has previously been linked and is currently in spain still whilst training with barcelona. be a great acquisition.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 16 July, 2013 Author Share Posted 16 July, 2013 I'm sure many would have been delighted with that last summer. Doesn't look so good now. Destroy the atmosphere and spirit and fill the team with overrated high earners. Awesome. Cesar is the only one I'd take. Remy cdajfu 100% Hoilett is 'our' type of signing - rubbish last season, but excellent year b4 + young and hungry Taarabt is only 24 and at the right club maybe........... Ji Sung Park - wasnt he fans player of season? maybe a bit old for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Diamond Posted 16 July, 2013 Share Posted 16 July, 2013 Hmmm, let me see, besides the fact he's rubbish, I like it.

Is he good enough for a back up, looking at his stats he hasn't had the amount of starts he should have, so maybe he is happy to be a bench warmer. Why would we want to buy backup though? The way to do it is to buy players who are better than the current player, therefore the ''current'' player then becomes the backup. All part of the squad evolution if it's done correctly. Signing players just to be backup is a sure fire way to having a hell of a lot of dead wood, which becomes near on impossible to flog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiesaint Posted 17 July, 2013 Share Posted 17 July, 2013 Going back to Toby Alderweireld, a few days ago on the 14th it appeared Bayer Leverkusen were in pole position to sign him according to this article on Football Oranje http://www.football-oranje.com/leverkusen-in-pole-position-for-alderweireld/ According to Sky Sports Foreign Paper Talk this morning, Bayer are no longer interested having made a couple of signings http://www1.skysports.com/transfer-centre/foreign-papertalk EXPRESS: Bayer Leverkusen have ended their interest in Ajax defender Toby Alderweireld after signing Roberto Hilbert and Giulio Donati already this summer. So he's stated he wants to move from Ajax and still available. One to follow as I get the feeling it may drag on a bit, similar to the chase for Alex Buttner last summer.

tajjuk Posted 17 July, 2013 Share Posted 17 July, 2013 ^ Don't think so, not sure we are looking for another centre-back but he would be a good signing and relatively cheap considering he only has a year on his contract so I hope I'm wrong!

One of these is the Southampton club that remains ever vigilant about what the market offers Italian. An emissary of the Saints, according to reports web edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, is located in London to find an agreement to Osvaldo Roma: Giallorossi however the player is not fully convinced of this opportunity, which is why the Southampton sent also a proposal to Gonzalo Bergessio of Catania, as an alternative track.

In a way that is positive cause earlier it has said that Osvaldo dont even want to consider it. Man C is no longer an option and I dont know if there is any other option than us for him if he wants to go to Premier League. The only club I can think of that would interest him is Spurs but I think their new sports director Baldini dont fancy him since he knows firsthand what was going on in Roma...
