Smirking_Saint Posted 12 July, 2014 Share Posted 12 July, 2014 Jordi Clasie is the next one we want, or an LB obviously...

Saint IQ Posted 12 July, 2014 Share Posted 12 July, 2014 Trust me- I would rather Schneiderlin and Wanyama as a combination than any one containing Honda. He has done nothing for Milan since joining. Montolivo is twice the player he is. Not that I am suggesting Montolivo is within the realms of possibility. Hondas main position is in the front 3 behind the striker... And he is definately good enough for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olallana Posted 12 July, 2014 Share Posted 12 July, 2014 We dont need a CM, as good as he is, tue only one Id want to lose is Cork, and I dont really want to lose him either Why wouldn´t we upgrade a position if the possibility is there? I keep seeing that people saying that CM are our strongest position, but that doesn´t really mean that we are strong in that position imo. As we could see last year as soon one (or both) of Schneiderlin/Wanyama was out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 12 July, 2014 Share Posted 12 July, 2014 Why wouldn´t we upgrade a position if the possibility is there? Not just upgrade either - He would give us a different option - You could play him in the advanced position and still play 2 DMC's behind him. I'd sign him, but I'm not sure we're in for him.

SNSUN Posted 12 July, 2014 Share Posted 12 July, 2014 We dont need a CM, as good as he is, tue only one Id want to lose is Cork, and I dont really want to lose him either Im not sure Morgan will still be here come September, much as I'd love him to stay (unless Koeman can work his influential magic). To that end Clasie would be a top replacement. Even the commentators on ITV are calling him the Dutch Xavi. Be nice to have a Xavi type at SMS. He'd fetch us multi millions of pounds next summer! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 12 July, 2014 Share Posted 12 July, 2014 Can't see him moving in the summer, but with his contract running down he will probably go next summer IMO, three decent years at Saints, raised his profile etc, big profit made for club.

The fact that it's part of a slightly ludicrous story about a £135m 'spending spree' makes me feel a bit better.

Dan Johnson Posted 13 July, 2014 Share Posted 13 July, 2014 Especially funny is the line that Rodgers feels Jay Rodriguez is the perfect replacement for Suarez. Remember when Matt Oakley was injured for ages, the longer he was out the better he became? Maybe that's the same with Jrod, I know it's close season but he's been out what, 3 months? Come Christmas he could be as good as Suarez, if we're bottom or struggling he might even be as good as Ronaldo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wirral saint Posted 13 July, 2014 Share Posted 13 July, 2014 Sorry not sure if already posted:- Southampton manager Ronald Koeman is ready to offer Nathan Redmond a swift return to the Premier League. Koeman has stepped up his rebuilding job at St Mary's by launching a move for the England under-21 international, who is also attracting interest from Stoke City. Redmond will be allowed to leave Norwich City following their relegation to the Championship, though the fee of around £6m is proving a major stumbling block. But Koeman is keen to add pace and width to his new squad and is poised to make a bid for the winger this month. Southampton have already banked around £55 million from the sales of Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert and will target young ambitious players ahead of the new season as they bid to restructure their squad.

I approve of Redmond if the price is right. Only 20 and has potential. Hughton, I believe, is one of those managers that signs a player and does nothing for their development, just plays them as they were signed. Redmond needs nurturing and could become a real Premier League force if coached correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the reviews that Jack Stephens got from Swindon fans it is quite possible that he & Turnbull may have matured more and be ready to fill the back-up roles. Let's face it, Chambers came from nowhere to start the first game last season. Yoof is the way, perhaps they will now be ready for the bench and occassional outings as 4th & 5th choice CB's.
