max_saints Posted 7 January, 2014 Posted 7 January, 2014 vermaelen, vertonghen and agger. all frustrated by lack of first team action or being played out of position. cheeky bids?
Smirking_Saint Posted 7 January, 2014 Posted 7 January, 2014 Vertonghan is far too good, either of the manchester sides should be looking at him. Id go for agger though.
Pastor Patrón Posted 7 January, 2014 Posted 7 January, 2014 How can anyone not want this guy in their team, lad is a f#cking unit. [video=youtube;SkLJQu-fHw8]
Saint_Tony Posted 7 January, 2014 Posted 7 January, 2014 Staying on topic with Greece, Kostas Mitroglou would be an amazing signing. Not sure how realistic it is though as Olympiakos are through to the last 16 of the Champions League

Convict Colony Posted 8 January, 2014 Posted 8 January, 2014 Been wasting some time and thought I would check out the south american leagues and looked for some articles that would highlight the best most talented youngsters to be playing on the continent who could adapt to our league. Had already done some research on the below 2 before I found this article, I can't remember who our south american expert is but would be interested in the opinion on these dudes, am liking Balenta and Lanzini but reckon they are $$$$. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1693462-6-of-the-best-south-american-players-you-possibly-havent-heard-of-yet

alpine_saint Posted 8 January, 2014 Posted 8 January, 2014 I dont understand the Isgrove situation. He impressed me over here in Austria during the summer.
EBS1980 Posted 8 January, 2014 Posted 8 January, 2014 I dont understand the Isgrove situation. He impressed me over here in Austria during the summer. Maybe he hasn't impressed MoPo though?
Window Cleaner Posted 8 January, 2014 Posted 8 January, 2014 Maybe he hasn't impressed MoPo though? well he's been injured for quite a while apparently, it was in the Echo the other day although nobody on this forum seemed to know that. He hasn't been training for weeks now, since about the Sunderland C1C game I think.
NI Saint Posted 8 January, 2014 Posted 8 January, 2014 He is 20 and turns 21 on Sunday. well he's been injured for quite a while apparently, it was in the Echo the other day although nobody on this forum seemed to know that. He hasn't been training for weeks now, since about the Sunderland C1C game I think. Here is the article http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/10915250.Yeovil_date_gets_Saints_midfielder_buzzing/?ref=twtrec he returned to training last week after a knee injury. It would be good if he was fit in time for the FA Cup game as I doubt he will get much more of a chance this season, barring another injury crisis, with the number of midfielders we have.

SNSUN Posted 11 January, 2014 Posted 11 January, 2014 I'm watching the Wednesday vs Leeds game. Connor Wickham has been outstanding, I can't believe he's only 20. Definitely one for the future if he keeps maturing like this.

Definitely one for the future if he keeps maturing like this. He was bought v young by sunderland and wasted, big big fee if I remember rightly. Big lad, good attributes, hopefully it works for him. Gray deserves some luck aswell, excellent coach and good guy
Batman Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 Everton sign aiden mcgeady decent signing. No doubt would be laughed at had we got him with alps and bazza going nuts. but good enough for a very good everton side
Olallana Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 Everton sign aiden mcgeady decent signing. No doubt would be laughed at had we got him with alps and bazza going nuts. but good enough for a very good everton side Dont think Alps would´ve gone nuts since this player is british...
Chez Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 I dont understand the Isgrove situation. He impressed me over here in Austria during the summer. Perhaps that was a one off and he hasn't hit that mark since or maybe your judgement isn't quite as good as you'd like to think? If he has to beat shaw or clyne in training every day his ability might be nullified. Maybe that explains why we don't play wingers. Anyone that plays out there in training does nothing because our fullbacks are so good?
doubleonothing Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 @guardian_sport: West Ham offer Joleon Lescott £90k-a-week to join relegation struggle http://t.co/on1oFMbMIa via @guardian Though when you read it, he's not keen. Don't know if it would be worth getting him on loan with a view to when his contract runs out. If he wants to boost his England chances he might be worth it? (No idea what he's on wage wise ATM, but can't see us matching 90k)

(No idea what he's on wage wise ATM, but can't see us matching 90k) If he was worth £90k a week he'd be a regular for City. Sounds like a typical Allardyce signing.
Crazy Diamond Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 I notice that Moyes is watching Cagliari today and supposedly more specifically, Davide Astori.
EBS1980 Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 I notice that Moyes is watching Cagliari today and supposedly more specifically, Davide Astori. Or he could be there watching a juventus player which is more likely IMO
Grey Crab Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 Or he could be there watching a juventus player which is more likely IMO Not according to the BBC.
SuperSAINT Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 Or he could be there watching a juventus player which is more likely IMO Agree. I would imagine Vidal is the more likely target.
Pastor Patrón Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 (edited) Will Hughes at Derby would be pure piff in our system, as would Halilovic. Edited 12 January, 2014 by Pastor Patrón
SNSUN Posted 13 January, 2014 Posted 13 January, 2014 Will Hughes at Derby would be pure piff in our system, as would Halilovic.] Is "piff" positive or negative? I'm not down with the lingo! Harry Maguire at Sheffield United would be worth looking at. 20 year old, 6'4'' Centre Back, been their player of the season twice running, had Man Utd scouting him last season and improving all the time. English too, was called up for U21s. I've only caught glimpses of him in highlights but he ticks all the right boxes on paper.
mulletsaint Posted 13 January, 2014 Posted 13 January, 2014 Will Hughes at Derby would be pure piff in our system, as would Halilovic. Whichever way you're intending that it's unlikely we'll buy him as apparently Liverpool have an agreement with Derby for first dibs.
Pastor Patrón Posted 13 January, 2014 Posted 13 January, 2014 Whichever way you're intending that it's unlikely we'll buy him as apparently Liverpool have an agreement with Derby for first dibs. No he hasn't, it's just paper talk. All good youngsters are constantly linked with joining top clubs, we should know that as much as everyone. If we can sign Osvaldo we can sign a Derby player.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 14 January, 2014 Posted 14 January, 2014 Lewis Holtby is for sale apparently - would take him in a second. Will probably go for around £10-12m. Sell Ramirez and bring him in (although I would like to see if Ramirez can turn the corner, has looked decent in his last few appearances).
Smirking_Saint Posted 14 January, 2014 Posted 14 January, 2014 Holtby would be good, hughesy would be excellent though, top temperament for a young lad. Like Pastor said he woukd fit into our system pretty perfectly, creative talent and not scared to work hard.

Saint_clark Posted 14 January, 2014 Posted 14 January, 2014 It's ironic that Holtby has actually had less impact than Ramirez has, but it's suggested we should sign him and get rid of Gaston.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 14 January, 2014 Posted 14 January, 2014 It's ironic that Holtby has actually had less impact than Ramirez has, but it's suggested we should sign him and get rid of Gaston. It's not an indication of Ramirez's impact, more of the fact that he hasn't seemed to be part of Pochettino's plans. I like Ramirez, and think he should be given time.
mulletsaint Posted 14 January, 2014 Posted 14 January, 2014 No he hasn't, it's just paper talk. All good youngsters are constantly linked with joining top clubs, we should know that as much as everyone. If we can sign Osvaldo we can sign a Derby player. Possibly, but these things do happen. I had an Evertonian mate who told me about the Rooney to Man U deal ages before it ever got in the press, apparently they'd arranged something similar. You may be right tho. On your last point, I wasn't indicating we couldn't buy him for any other reason that another team may have already pipped us to it so no need to get snippy.
Smirking_Saint Posted 14 January, 2014 Posted 14 January, 2014 It's ironic that Holtby has actually had less impact than Ramirez has, but it's suggested we should sign him and get rid of Gaston. I wouldnt get rid of Gaston TBF, but they are slightly different players.
nta786 Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 Lacina Traore move to WHU is unlikely now. I know the guy has an injury, but is it worth getting a loan move for the guy? Surely wouldn't hurt us, especially if Monaco are willing to pay his wages!
itchen_dan Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 Lacina Traore move to WHU is unlikely now. I know the guy has an injury, but is it worth getting a loan move for the guy? Surely wouldn't hurt us, especially if Monaco are willing to pay his wages! As far as I'm aware Everton hijacked the deal and he's off there?
