Smirking_Saint Posted 11 January, 2014 Share Posted 11 January, 2014 I'd like to see us go for a couple of players on loan as January is never the best time to buy the right players at a good price. That way if they make an impact we can look at signing them permanently in the summer. john Guidetti to give us the centre forward we need, Wilfiried Zaha to give us the right winger, pace and the ability to go past a man Ryan Bertrand to give us competition and cover at right back. All three of them need game time and been talked about as potential loans - and we need the players - and I'm sure we'd be a more attractive proposition as a destination for their parent clubs than most of the other clubs in the premier league. We're not challenging any if them for the top four, we play good football and we're not struggling at the bottom - yet. We also need a centre back but I think we are just going to have to buy one of them - Albert Botia or Hector Moreno from Spain would do dor me. Apart from the fact we dont need a winger or a striker and Bertrand is a Left back ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 11 January, 2014 Share Posted 11 January, 2014 Looks like Jelavic is off to Hull. His career gone off the boil quickly, was the darling of Everton a couple of seasons back. I did say when he joined Everton that he would be a flash in the pan, watched him a few times in person when he played in Scotland and aside from being a decent finisher he lacks pace, strength and aerial ability, and doesn't hold the ball up. Martinez needs somebody who can replace Lukaku at the end of the season as the focal point of his attack, and Jelavic is not that person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpturner Posted 11 January, 2014 Share Posted 11 January, 2014 All of those you mention wouldnt get the game time their clubs would want. We would end up improving them for those teams as well.

Rebel Posted 12 January, 2014 Share Posted 12 January, 2014 Apart from the fact we dont need a winger or a striker and Bertrand is a Left back ? Your right I meant left back - Fox has to go and we need someone to provide cover for Shaw for now as he shouldn't be playing ever game. And if you've actually watched Saints lately you'd see we are desperate for a centre forward come striker who can finish things of in the box and lead the line. We also need pace up front and width on the right - something Zaha would give us. Lallana drifts in to the middle and plays as a number 10 meaning we have no one on the right. We should play him in the hole behind the striker and bring in a wide right forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should play him in the hole behind the striker and bring in a wide right forward. But our attacking midfielders draw in for a reason as it creates space for our fullbacks to get forward, which is where our natural width comes from. Though I wouldnt mind a pacy wide man on the bench I dont see MoPo utilising him enough as he is pretty steadfast with the way that he plays things. Itll probably be Rowe or Isgrove giving the pace options I imagine. As for The LB issue, I agree we need cover, I wonder if we can get a left sided CB that can cover here Also not entirely sure we need another striker unless we have given up on Lambert, our lack of creativity, or moreso our resistance to provide anything towards our main striker is the real issue.

Convict Colony Posted 14 January, 2014 Share Posted 14 January, 2014 Think I preferred the Diego rumour, younger than I thought he was (28) and has an average rating of 7.85 for Wolfsburg this year which compared to our best Lovren 7.41 would be an awesome additional in the central playmaker position especially since he is on a free in summer.
