itchen_dan Posted 9 May, 2013 Share Posted 9 May, 2013 FFS, why are the club prioritising a right back when we should be signing a CB?? No need to panic. According to Nixon we are looking for "@reluctantnicko: Defender or two. Midfield strong man." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 9 May, 2013 Share Posted 9 May, 2013 If Richardson is leaving, which I guess he must be, we need a right back. The question of how much we should spend is interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 9 May, 2013 Share Posted 9 May, 2013 No need to panic. According to Nixon we are looking for "@reluctantnicko: Defender or two. Midfield strong man." Victor Wanyama would fit the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 9 May, 2013 Share Posted 9 May, 2013 It'll mean we have 3 Premier League quality fullbacks to rotate rather than 2 plus Fox/Richardson (who are Championship level). Clyne and Gamez can compete for right back and if Shaw for example was injured, Clyne could play left back and Gamez right back. That is better than having to use Fox. *awaits biting remark and Mr Men put down* Stop being paranoid MLG, you haven't said anything wrong in this post, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Saint Charlie Posted 10 May, 2013 Share Posted 10 May, 2013 Graham Hunter (Sky Sports Spanish expert) said about Gamez: "He has all the equipment to succeed, although I didn't know it was happening.

Just don't see how this fits with Clyne. If they're both fit for the majority of the season we'd have a problem keeping either happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're both fit for the majority of the season we'd have a problem keeping either happy. Yeah, if it does turn out to be true it would be interesting. Perhaps they feel Clyne is also able to play LB and essentially it gives you three good full backs to pick from. Afterall, the games Fox has played this season (must be a fair few even since Shaw emerged) we have had a reduced quality of team. You have to allow for injuris, suspensions and even be able to rest people. But definitely interesting on the face of it as Clyne has been very good and MP has always praised him.

More likely its strength in depth, and Clyne gives cover at LB as well. Alternatively as someone else refers to above MP is seeking a change in formation, with wing backs and this Jesus fellow is a more accustomed to it, or can play right sided centre back, or sweeper ?

Charlie Wayman Posted 10 May, 2013 Share Posted 10 May, 2013 I hope he's not another Fox?

We aren't exactly miles away from London are we? He could probably live there and still play for Saints, as plenty have done in reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively as someone else refers to above MP is seeking a change in formation, with wing backs and this Jesus fellow is a more accustomed to it, or can play right sided centre back, or sweeper ? Strength in depth is a very hard balance to get. Unless you're playing into the late stages of the domestic cups, as well as European football, it would be very difficult to give players in their prime the amount of game time they want. Otherwise for strength in depth you would want younger up and coming players who are happy to dip in and out and gradually learn their trade as cover for a more experienced player or players coming towards the end of their career, but can still do a job when called upon and are great around the squad - that approach to squad management is one of the key's to Man Utd's success under Ferguson, as oppossed to some of the other higher spending rivals that have had problems with large squads. Can't see why this chap would play centre back if one of his key selling points is getting up and down the line or why playing as a wing-back would be a problem for Clyne, apart from his fairly poor crossing. Will be interesting to see how it pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 10 May, 2013 Share Posted 10 May, 2013 Chelsea have Azpiliqueta, and Clyne is the sort of player who wants to play every week. He's superb and our club won't want to sell him unless for stupid money. A lot of fans know we need some kind of back up for the full back positions, so no surprise we're after another RB.

studentsaint Posted 12 May, 2013 Share Posted 12 May, 2013 Just analysed that game and thought he was vey poor defensively, got forward without end result and based on today wouldny want him in ahead of Clyne. Rakatic, minus the finishing, looked good, but I would love to see kondogbia and negrado here if at all possible. Sevilla play an almost identical style to us, kondogbia plays the schneiderlin role and negrado is a handful but has some pace too. They press and insist on playing out from the keeper. I like them and they have some quality players adept to our system to slot straight in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSaint Posted 20 May, 2013 Share Posted 20 May, 2013 This rumour has sprung up again http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/southampton-target-jesus-gamez-transfer-1899854 Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino will spend some of the £30million treasure chest promised to him by chairman Nicola Cortese this summer on Malaga defender Jesus Gamez. Pochettino is anxious to bolster a Saints defence which had conceded 59 goals before yesterday's match with Stoke. Gamez, 28, is a former Spanish under 23 international while Pochettino's search for defenders has also taken in Ecuadorian international Frickson Erazo of Barcelona SC. The former Espanyol manager also has been looking at Victor Ruiz and Victor Wanyama as part of his hopes to strengthen the South Coast outfit in the off-season.
