CB Fry Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 Surely need backup for Boruc though? I don't rate Marshall as highly as most, but we can't rely on gazza for backup! If we sign a keeper for 8 million odd, why would Boruc stay? We don't have the games to hold two front line keepers. It would be new keeper plus Gazza.

CB Fry Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 Sorensen stayed at Stoke. He might just have the bottle to stay, be professional and fight for the shirt. Or sit around collecting his money. Why would wanting to be No 1 choice at another club show a lack of bottle? I'd call that ambition and drive myself.

It would be new keeper plus Gazza. Maybe, and I'm going out on a limb here...maybe it suits Boruc to stay here even if he isn't automatic first choice. He's just got married, he'll soon be 35, and let's face it this is a good place to live compared to many areas. He might even want the challenge of another arguably better keeper. And by leaving given his age he's unlikely to get first team guarantees in most premier league teams by moving. But hey, let's just look at it one dimensionally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Give it to Ron Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 I didn't see them. Were they in the VIP area ? They arrived just as Go West finished went into VIP. Didn't realise how big Boruc is until I stood next to him. Very friendly bunch.

He might well stay for that reason.
The Fat Controller Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 I think we will sign the French lad kolo at left back Gut feeling that we will get Forster from Celtic New deal for Cork and Steven Davies as new captain. Centre back to me is key area Yoshida and Hooiveld aren't good enough to be fair So at least 2 new centre backs pending Lovren Situation

Centre back to me is key area Yoshida and Hooiveld aren't good enough to be fair So at least 2 new centre backs pending Lovren Situation Still think we need another striker.
Sevvy Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 I wonder how the meeting went today between Roko and Lovren.
The Fat Controller Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 We may need a new striker but FFP rules on wages may dictate Until we off load a few like Mayuka and sharp etc Quite a few people think we have loads of money but most forget to factor wages £30k per week.... Is over 1.5m a year for most of our senior squad And we have probably 25-30 on that sort of money This all adds into FFP RULES, so doubt we will spend more than another £20-30m tops
Olallana Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 Forster £8m De Vrij £10m (+give away 20% on resell profit and that price is possible) Willems £6m Clasie £10m (+ sell on clause here too) Volland £12m Out: Osvaldo £6m If Lovren leaves take those £25m and get Blind or Van Dijk on board. There you have ambition within reach.

He's just got married, he'll soon be 35 Small point - Boruc is 33, isn't he? No need to age him prematurely. He is 34 years old, he was born on 20th February 1980.
Mallagroth Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 You are both wrong! He is 34 years old, he was born on 20th February 1980. This was as predictable as the sun rising. Made me chuckle. Loving your work MLG.
Baird of the land Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 Because the only one I see Clasie as an upgrade on is Cork, and theres not a lot of difference there IMO. Plus we have Reed and JWP to blood, so I just dont see the need. Yeah I don't see the need at all but then I'm a massive cork fan & think jwp can really push on this season too.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 Don't assume Cork will sign a new deal. And we're tracking midfielders because of that plus we know that there will be interest in Schneiderlin towards the end of the window when some of the big boys miss out on primary targets and start working their way down the list. The club is always scouting not just for need, but also for succession planning. Any other approach would just be negligent.

That includes Gallagher, Reed, Gazza and JWP who wont be on anything like £30k. Mayuka, Sharp and Osvaldo will leave giving us on on the smaller squads and wage bills in the Premier League.
skintsaint Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 Proper rumour, only going on a Leeds supporting mate I play football with - apparently we are keeping tabs on Alex Mowatt along with Liverpool & Spurs. No idea who he is or how good he is.

LeBenali Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 Have heard we're in for Serge Gnabry on loan - had a look online to try and back up the rumour, and it's on the Caught Offside website. unsure if the person who told me about it knows something, or just saw it on there...
pimpin4rizeal Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 Really really think we should move for jordy clasie. Hes said himself how highly he thinks of koeman so why not use this to our advantage?, ok man utd will be a more attractive option but if they dont make a move i see no reason why he would turn down the chance to move to the prem to be reunited with koeman,just like pelle and tadic who were also big eridvisie stars. Some are saying we dont need him as we have cork or he will block ward prouse devolopment, but lets be honest he looks on a much higher level then cork already at a much younger age, and ward prouse needs to earn his game time not just have it put on a plate if hes good enough he will get a chance. Also after seeing how quality clasie looks, it seems a really great compliment to tadic to be talked as the best player in the dutch league, im starting to feel positive again :-)

Surprised there aren´t more rumors surrounding him but will probably start as soon as WC is finished and players are back in Europe...
saint_ed Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 Are will still expecting an update from Guan this evening?

saint_ed Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 He did promise but maybe he has been busy. I think we can allow him to watch the WC final
Mallagroth Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 Guan when you get on here, any chance you are able to give us a clue about this left back that's supposedly done.
farawaysaint Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 See Liverpool are in for Rodriguez now according to the Mirror Honestly (unless we can get stupid money for Lovren) I hope we don't sell them anyone else, this is getting ridiculous.
Batman Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 No team is going to spend millions on a player half way trough his ligament recovery.
farawaysaint Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 No team is going to spend millions on a player half way trough his ligament recovery. It seems utterly ridiculous right? So why the hell is he being linked with the Scousers and Tottenham? I refuse to believe mass media is inherently stupid.
Batman Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 It seems utterly ridiculous right? So why the hell is he being linked with the Scousers and Tottenham? I refuse to believe mass media is inherently stupid. Probably for a potential jan move But I would be amazed if we sell anyone of note mid season.
Saint Charlie Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 Jay Rod's contract situation isnt ideal.

Saint Charlie Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 Maybe things will get better now but you harping in about it sent going to help. Im just pointing out the situation. It won't help nor hinder as its just an opinion on an online fans forum. If Jay doesnt sign a new contract before the end of the coming season then we will surely look to cash in next summer (latest) rather than let him go for free. Honestly, if you were him, would you sign a new contract at Saints? If it were me I would see hows things go for a bit...which isnt ideal for the club.

Actually I'd say the opposite with J-rod as we have no idea whether A) he will recovery properly B) if he does whether he will re-find his old form. Had we offered him a nice bumper 5 year contract and never recovers to be the same player we'd be chucking good money after bad. Edited 14 July, 2014 by doddisalegend
Viking Warrior Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 St Charlie lighten up . Don't let the press speculation take you down . It's just that speculation
ART Posted 13 July, 2014 Posted 13 July, 2014 The situation is very good, getting better by the day. The majority are optimistic but sick minded individuals like Saint Charlie can no longer help themselves. He and the others like him come on to deliberately try to stress out fans who are too naive to see thru what he's up to. He promised to change but it's evident he just can't help himself. Liverpool are the 1st team we play. Having seen how much they upset us with signing Rickie and Lambert they're using the media to be linked with every player. JayRod is out for at least another 4-5 months, so why, other than to unsettle and stress us, would they go for him now? Get a grip people, we're growing from strength to strength.
