Saints boy in Leeds Posted 17 August, 2013 Share Posted 17 August, 2013 (edited) I wasn't at the game today but going by Mersons views who watched the game for SS, sounds like they have made 2 great signings for us. Being that he's skate through and through and admits it and still said what he has in the 2 signings gives me faith in what our guys are doing and that moving forward they will do us proud again. Sounds like the 2 signings we've made are top notch and if we do manage to get a striker in we really could break into the top 10. http://www1.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/teams/southampton/8875902/wanyama-is-worth-20-million Great result and well done all round, COYRAWM !

ssaints Posted 17 August, 2013 Share Posted 17 August, 2013 He has confidence in bringing the young players in. Same was true last season with Shaw and JwP and this year Chambers looked good today. I think you can almost look at the new lads coming in as new signings seeing a as we have let the old guard go the allow the youngsters to be blooded if they are good enough.

SaintBobby Posted 18 August, 2013 Share Posted 18 August, 2013 An encouraging start, that's for sure. If we add Oswaldo, that'd count as a very good window (although, greedily, I'd like more!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceandfriendly Posted 18 August, 2013 Share Posted 18 August, 2013 Lovren looks quality, as does Wanyama and if we sign Osvaldo as well then we will be in dream land. Could be looking top 7/8?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70's Mike Posted 18 August, 2013 Share Posted 18 August, 2013 Early days but it appears we have bought 2 to improve first 11 not just squad players as has often been the case in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joensuu Posted 19 August, 2013 Share Posted 19 August, 2013 Worth pointing out, that under Cortese, I think we've made c. 36 permanent signings. Most of those have been good or excellent (relative to our position when we signed them). There have only been a handful of poor or average signings. IMO the only signings we should definitely have avoided are Forren (in hindsight) and Forte (not in hindsight!) . The only poor to average signings I can remember were: Otsemobor, Seaborne, Dickson (again, in hindsight), De Ridder (ditto). There are a number of that are too soon to tell, including everyone signed this summer, Gazzaniga, Mayuka, Jack Stephens and Harlee Dean. Very approximately, I'd suggest that c. 64% of Cortese's transfers have been good or excellent. About 16% have been below par, and 19% too soon to tell. I can't imagine many chairman have overseen anything like this level of transfer success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
