Polaroid Saint Posted 16 July, 2014 Share Posted 16 July, 2014 I posted that link yesterday at 6.15pm. Doesn't appear to have elicited much excitement. His stats don't inspire much enthusiasm. That article suggests he can play in both defence and in midfield on the left. May suit a flying WB position? Can't find stats for assists and stuff? Also describes the 27 year old as a starlet? Hmm. Yea, not over enthused, but hey, an Argentine Danny Fox might be exactly what RK wants with our young options on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt we should've went for him too, and at 6 million isn't a bad deal. I did at first but he was a bit error prone in the world cup - or was I just being too critical. Certainly not as solid as Lovren was last season and if we do lose Dejan I would expect an upgrade (as promised) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, not over enthused, but hey, an Argentine Danny Fox might be exactly what RK wants with our young options on the left. Think we can and will do better than that. Only possibility is that we really do have faith in Targett and just want an experienced figure to provide a bit of cover in that position, but this chap doesn't even sound like the best fit in that regard.

CanadaSaint Posted 16 July, 2014 Share Posted 16 July, 2014 There's no point in keeping disgruntled players, so the issue of whether we're a "selling club" is not really relevant and perhaps not even that important to a club like ours. What IS important in that situation is that A) we get "top dollar" for disgruntled players, B) we scout well and find quality replacements at value prices, and C) we have the incoming transfers lined-up before we let the outgoing players leave, so that we lessen the chances of being asked to pay inflated prices because we're perceived to be desperate and rolling in cash. IMO that's a realistic and credible business model for a club like Saints. Scout well, buy low, sell high (if you have to sell). And always keep the academy conveyor belt rolling. In fact, I'd say that's the only way we can function in today's world, so I'm becoming more comfortable with the situation with each passing day.

Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 17 July, 2014 Share Posted 17 July, 2014 Had a chat with my source last night. Here's the main bits. Koeman has missed out on a couple of players and is said to be becoming frustrated in his search for defenders. Lovren situation being monitored very closely. No decision as yet. Could go either way. Certainly won't be allowed to leave before a replacement is identified. Koeman believes that too much money is being paid for players by premier league clubs and that he has identified players who aren't household names for a fraction of tne price. Says the World Cup doesn't help as it just seems to over inflate player values. Don't expect the signing of anyone who had a decent WC. Martins Indi was spoken to but he was set on going to Portugal as it's his home country. Also spoke to Janmaat but fee too high & other clubs are offering silly wages. Caulker was spoken to and visited Staplewood before Koeman's arrival but I'm told that Koeman isn't keen. Club has received an initial enquiry about Chambers. RK saying that the club had not received offers for AL & LS was a lie. Talks began before the WC but he didn't want to upset the fans and the club didn't want transfer talk to overshadow their performances at the WC... Not much chance of that. MoPo instructed not to come fishing for players when he left. Despite this, Spurs have definitely been in touch re. Schneiderlin. Koeman desperate to keep him more than any other player. Board believe MoPo is responsible for the unrest with certain players. Goalkeeper will probably be the next announcement. Approaches made to 2 clubs but no names given. Again, club/Koeman not happy about some of the figures being quoted for goalkeepers. Currently talking to 2 clubs about the sale of Osvaldo, one is Galatasaray. Money offered is no where near what we paid. No contact with Burnley re. Ings. Loads of press speculation about players, none of whom have been discussed so it's pure fabrication. The targets that Koeman has identified have not been mentioned in the press. Basically the press don't have a clue who Koeman is chasing and the club want it keeping that way.
