Charlie Wayman Posted 10 February, 2020 Share Posted 10 February, 2020 Some decisions?? If my maths is right my above list contains 44 contractual decisions by next summer, not including the swathe of youngsters ending contracts June 21, not including the 4 on longer contracts we definitely want to try and sell (Forster, Ely, Hoedt & Lamima), and not including any recruitment whatsoever. That's quite some job He has. What a terrible mess and all of our own making. Somebody needs to sort this out once and for all. Let's hope Mr Crocker has a ruthless streak in him.

Baird of the land Posted 23 April, 2020 Share Posted 23 April, 2020 Curious what is going to happen with long. Before Coronavirus you would have assumed there would have likely been a renewal but one less wage to pay over this extended break if we don’t may tip the balance the other way.

Before Coronavirus you would have assumed there would have likely been a renewal but one less wage to pay over this extended break if we don’t may tip the balance the other way. Think we will keep long but on a lower salary. Boufal will be let go as he will only have one year left and i can t see him signing another contract. Moi will come back and take his place. Forster will be sold to Celtic. I think an agreement will be found with Carillo to tear up his last year of contract. Lemina will be sold, hoedt as well. Apart from that, the only position we will streghen is right back and center mid if Romeu goes back to Spain. Danso will not bought that for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 26 April, 2020 Share Posted 26 April, 2020 I don't see any good qualities in him. "Only young" isn't a good enough reason to buy him. I haven't seen any great qualities in him, but I don't run training. I saw very little good qualities of Stephen 2 years ago, but he's come a long way. I don't think there is a lot between Danso and Stephens when he first came into the prem side....I'm not saying he's shown anything of a "prem" standard so far, but who knows what point he'll be at in 2 years time. A few million for a potential prem player would seem a bargain no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His issue has always been cutting out stupid lapses and errors. Haven't seen anything except perhaps that one cross for Vestergaard from Danso.

Matter of opinion...I saw absolutely nothing in Stephens and think he's done ok, I'm not bought completely by him, but he had a great season this year really, he'll never be at the level of Fonte/Alderweireld though...let alone VVD.

SuperSAINT Posted 26 June, 2020 Share Posted 26 June, 2020 Great job as usual, mate. Some spaces open up in the U23's for some more central defenders & strikers with some of those getting released. Fingers crossed they find clubs ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to acknowledge that any players are leaving, nothing on those that have been offered new contracts and nothing to update the OS profiles. In fact Harry Lewis must have signed a contract earlier this year because he is retained without the offer of a new contract - and that was never mentioned either. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised!

He seems to have a very good attitude and its great that he has committed his future to the Saints. From what I've seen of him in the U23's and his debut cameo appearance against the Canaries we may have a player on our hands. Seems to be very alive to what is going on around him and against Norwich found good positions off the ball and nearly scored on his debut. One day the Academy will produce another star and Nathan Tella might well be the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we'll get confirmation until the OS profiles are updated - I seem to recall that wasn't until September last year, at least for U23s/U18s.

With all those players ruled out, I make it we've only 23 fit players includung Olufunwa. 3 of those are keepers so, with a match day squad of 20, at least 2 of Jankewitz, Ferry, N'Lundulu and Olunfunwa will make the bench.
