Clunge Posted 26 June, 2014 Share Posted 26 June, 2014 I wouldn't be to fussed losing Fonte to be honest, for me he is rash and always got an error in him, easily replaced with better. Cork I wouldn't want to lose, solid player, extremely unlucky to have schneiderlin and Wanyama playing in same position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Bateman Posted 26 June, 2014 Share Posted 26 June, 2014 We need four senior centre backs, not two. But Clunge disagrees with you, so as that's not 100% of Saints fans agreeing with you, you're wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swannymere Posted 26 June, 2014 Share Posted 26 June, 2014 It would be such a backward step to lose a player of Cork's quality, but at his age he needs to be playing every week and i'm not sure we could guarantee that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 26 June, 2014 Share Posted 26 June, 2014 (edited) Not sure if this was already posted earlier (apologies if so) but i saw in the Times that we were linked with Matt Jones the Beleneses goalkeeper to be our no.2. Nice article on him from the fail last year - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2508152/Matt-Jones--Belenenses-goalkeeper-benefiting-moving-Portugal.html Edited 26 June, 2014 by Convict Colony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What bothers me about Cork is he only knows how to pass backwards. Poch loved possession football so Cork would pass back and forth in the Saints half, passing to Fonte or Lovren most often and would never press forward. I'm hoping Koeman places an emphasis on goal scoring through quick plays and through passes. Maybe it was just how he fit in Poch's system but I hope he can do more with Koeman.

From what I can gather, Koeman's style is much more direct, but not from long balls. Very much always look for the forward pass, exploit the flanks, pacy players. Going to be a big contrast from last couple of seasons. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cork I wouldn't want to lose, solid player, extremely unlucky to have schneiderlin and Wanyama playing in same position. People keep trotting this out with regards to players including Shaw and Lallana on here and now Fonte? If he is easily replaceable with better why has he survived here for 4 years as a first team player despite a number of other CB's coming in?! Madness, deserves a new contract as does Cork.

Because we have reinforced other areas, not a endless pot of money, our back four of last season was (for arguments sake) clyne, fonte, lovren and shaw, whose the weak link in that?

Minty Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 Not rumours as such, but two names that have reached me recently as potential Shaw replacements: Nicolai Boilesen and Jetro Willems. Both play in the Netherlands, almost certainly known to Koeman, both young and have fledgling or potential International careers. I know nothing about either, but their names have reached me so thought I'd pass them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
