Saint_Tony Posted 30 January, 2014 Share Posted 30 January, 2014 Anyone else getting frustrated? Any rumours of a new striker coming in have gone quiet, we really do need one though.

saint lard Posted 30 January, 2014 Share Posted 30 January, 2014 Obtaining Astori now would be a sensible option,yes I know he's not a left back but would free up some options until we regroup in the summer,finding a long term LB. We do need anther attacking option,most definitely ,even if it is short term. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 30 January, 2014 Share Posted 30 January, 2014 Certainly rare for names not to come out. The only striker we have really been linked with is Eder from Sampdoria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does coming to SMS to battle with Lovren Fonte and Maya at CB help that ? He is first choice at Seria A club Cagliari, a fans favourite there and just been voted 2nd or 3rd best Cb in seria A last year + and is seen by Prandelli every week. I would eat my hat if he joined in the next 24 hours. IF he ever joins Saints ( and frankly he could easily join a bigger club than us ) it would be after the WC, not before ( which, incidentally would be better cos i reckon Italy will not get out of group so his price might be cheaper).

S-Clarke Posted 30 January, 2014 Share Posted 30 January, 2014 Fox leaving is a no brainer. He wasn't good enough. The issue will be having someone to cover his position, as Shaw does pick up a few niggly injuries. I Imagine though...Clyne is earmarked for that cover spot. He's not bad at LB!

shurlock Posted 30 January, 2014 Share Posted 30 January, 2014 People overlooking the significance of getting Astori - would suggest that KL is serious about building on what we have. Less the case with a striker which is a direct replacement for Osvaldo - one-in-one-out which doesn't involve a net gain. Symbolically any Astori deal would speak absolute volumes.

Agree. Most likely a loan striker to replace Osvaldo, with Lambert (when fit) and Gallagher also able to play. No real need to replace Fox, he hasnt played for ages and only appeared 6 times anyway.

With Cortese gone and the CFO doing the leg work i expect he would be going about in a quieter fashion Osvaldo will go on loan with an agreement to buy in the summer then we'll look at a loan signing. Hopefully a striker but we'll see.

A far lower standard of football, in the Bundesliga there are 2 good teams, 2 reasonable teams and the rest are a pile of sh*te. It's like the Scottish premier really. You only have to look at the "great players" who come to the PL from mediocre German sides and last half a season before they're begging to go back from whence they came.

Picard Posted 30 January, 2014 Share Posted 30 January, 2014 Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta says the Serie A leaders are keen to sign Southampton striker Dani Osvaldo. Osvaldo, who is currently serving a two-week suspension as punishment for being involved in a training ground fight, is also a reported target of Spanish side Valencia. "We like Osvaldo and we also know that other teams like him too," Marotta tells Gazzetta dello Sport. "He is a fantastic player but before we can buy we must sell."

Window Cleaner Posted 30 January, 2014 Share Posted 30 January, 2014 Looks like we're desperate to be shot of Osvaldo but no club susceptible to take him off our hands are having any of our terms, we'll probably let him go on loan for nothing tomorrow at 10.45 pm continental time.

We shouldn't be jealous of transfers for transfers' sake, only worth worrying if players that could have improved our team have gone to rivals. I doubt he's ever seen him. Fans get weird about transfers. Everyone knows quantity over quality is daft, no-one really wants signings for the sake of it, but then they get impatient, need some excitement and just crave anything. Every player joining another club is suddenly brilliant, they'll all settle and gel instantly, all play, all stay fit. Yet every season tells us a different story. There will always be 5 or 6 clubs fighting relegation and struggling badly, so there will always be a glut of desperate, or hopeful signings. If they all do it each year, 3 will still go down, so a couple can point to their signings and say look, that made the difference. Yet Palace's best signing has been Pulis, and Sunderland's Poyet. the levels of the understanding of humour beggar belief sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bad Bob Posted 30 January, 2014 Share Posted 30 January, 2014 It's difficult ground when a joke is the same as many posters serious posts. Or when dune and glasgow have trolled all the humour out of the place. I am reassured now that you don't want William Kvist and the joke was very funny. I'm also sure that if we keep typing William Kvist he'll score on saturday. Yes, that's what worries me too, if he plays, being his début, he is bound to be made to look good by our, sometimes, comedic defending... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
