SuperSAINT Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Right, so somebody needs to sift through this thread and list ALL the strikers that have been mentioned.
The Majestic Channon Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 I go to Helsingborg's home games and they have a Young ghanaian called David accam, what a player in albeit a crappy standard League but i would love Saints to develop him, could be our next danny Wallace. :-)
Smirking_Saint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 I see that Bony has been priced at 19m, for me Id pay that, or very close to it. Either him or Benteke or Welbeck for me but generally speaking Id break the bank for a striker we were crying out for last year.

Smirking_Saint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Bony is a great player. but you are right, either one of those 3 Regardless of whats going on with AL and LS I think that a top striker is the order of the day. Assuming that the new man plays similar tactics then a player like those mentioned is what is needed. It was evident last year that despite having large quantities of the ball we struggled to create meaningful chances and for me that was down to not having adequate striking options
SNSUN Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 I see that Bony has been priced at 19m, for me Id pay that, or very close to it. Either him or Benteke or Welbeck for me but generally speaking Id break the bank for a striker we were crying out for last year. 2 of those 3 please. We need 2 strikers now, why not? Bony and Welbeck would be perfect as Welbeck can play deeper, although he's said he wants a striker role so we'd have to accommodate that. Anyway it's moot as we don't know who the new manager is. Would Welbeck want to play with Moyes again?
Restark19 Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Stefan de Vrij - 22 year old Feyenoord CB has stated he's likely to leave the club this summer, very highly rated and on Manchester United's radar. Feyenoord captain under Koeman so would only see it as a possibility if we do appoint Koeman as manager
Window Cleaner Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Stefan de Vrij - 22 year old Feyenoord CB has stated he's likely to leave the club this summer, very highly rated and on Manchester United's radar. Feyenoord captain under Koeman so would only see it as a possibility if we do appoint Koeman as manager Much sought after if you believe rumours, although those said to have already put in bids for him are only going up to about 8 million €s just now.
Smirking_Saint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Much sought after if you believe rumours, although those said to have already put in bids for him are only going up to about 8 million €s just now. Everything is relative though, as I said before comparing market prices is rediculous. AL probably isnt worth 30m considering you could grab Shaqiri for less. Kompany cost 6m, luiz went for 50m etc etc I suppose 8-10m is his value due to the league, wages etc and the fact he isnt english obv. He will be a decent aquisition however, personally Id rather that gamble then Pelle.
the saint in winchester Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Brede Hangeland released by Full Ham? Interested?
SuperMikey Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Brede Hangeland released by Full Ham? Interested? Definitely not if De Vrij is available. To be honest, I would probably rather coax Paul Williams out of retirement than sign Hangeland on the money he's going to want.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Brede Hangeland released by Full Ham? Interested? Can't think of one player from Fulham that I would take.
Smirking_Saint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Can't think of one player from Fulham that I would take. Patrick roberts
Super_Saint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 If Lallana goes, what about Roberto Firmino? Could cost half the price and is arguably just as good, if not better.

Restark19 Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 If we were to bring in Koeman, sell Shaw, Lallana and bring in a couple of decent replacements plus de vrij and Pelle I'd be relatively happy tbh, considering how bad most expect this summer to be
Goatboy Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er-GdWLW5F4 He'll do.
SNSUN Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Can't think of one player from Fulham that I would take. A few squad strengtheners perhaps or Dan Burn for defensive potential, but the only player they have that I'd consider possible first choice is Stekelenberg. If he stays fit enough...
Saint Matty 76 Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 If Lallana goes, what about Roberto Firmino? Could cost half the price and is arguably just as good, if not better. Mentioned this the other day, I think he's better than Lallana and like you say probably available for around £12-£15m. We should really be looking at players who are doing well in the Bundesliga in my opinion, there's some fantastic options over there at much less inflated prices. Firmino, Rodriguez (very ambitious) or even a stupidly outrageous attempt at signing Huntelaar if we get Koeman. Some bloody good players lurking in the Bundesliga/Erdevisie at the minute I think.
buctootim Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez wanted by Southampton as part of Luke Shaw deal http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2647629/Manchester-United-striker-Javier-Hernandez-wanted-Southampton-Luke-Shaw-deal.html#ixzz33cCCKspr
S-Clarke Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Hernandez would be a bit of a signing, wouldn't he? A proper goal scorer. Wasted at Utd, I think he's class.
CityRanger Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez wanted by Southampton as part of Luke Shaw deal http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2647629/Manchester-United-striker-Javier-Hernandez-wanted-Southampton-Luke-Shaw-deal.html#ixzz33cCCKspr I can see a swap deal being on the cards for Shaw. I was thinking more Lukaku myself, now that Rickie is gone. Especially as the statement said a striker replacement for now and the long term was being sourced. Straight swap, no cash.
shurlock Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Surely a swap deal would make greater sense in the Lallana sale -that way we can (legitimately) minimise the money we owe to Bournemouth?
Matthew Le God Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Surely a swap deal would make greater sense in the Lallana sale -that way we can (legitimately) minimise the money we owe to Bournemouth? Which player would improve Saints first XI and Liverpool be willing let go?
DuncanRG Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Which player would improve Saints first XI and Liverpool be willing let go? Agger
Matthew Le God Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 (edited) Agger He was one of the first choice centre backs for a title challenging side this season and is on upwards of £80k p/w. He won't be coming in any swap. Edited 3 June, 2014 by Matthew Le God

Would take Kagawa if Lallana's definitely off, but hopefully we can keep Shaw & Adz!
shurlock Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Which player would improve Saints first XI and Liverpool be willing let go? Borini, Assaidi...
DuncanRG Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 He was one of the first choice centre backs for a title challenging side this season and is on upwards of £80k p/w. He won't be coming in any swap. Yeah I know, obviously it'll never happen but it answers your question! God, imagine... Borini is a decent shout as well but it looks like Liverpool want to hold onto him.
Chez Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 I'd take Zaha and Fellaini to try badly to fill Rodriguez and Rickies shoes. No chance of that happening. I suspect there is no chance or us signing any half decent player from a top four clubs just because of the wages required.

I suspect there is no chance or us signing any half decent player from a top four clubs just because of the wages required. Interesting suggestion re: Fellani, but not quite sure Man Utd would cut their losses just yet. It seemed they just deployed him wrong last year, I don't think he's a £30m player by any stretch - but he's better than he showed last year. He's pretty capable as a number 10.
Smirking_Saint Posted 4 June, 2014 Posted 4 June, 2014 Which player would improve Saints first XI and Liverpool be willing let go? Borini
Rebel Posted 4 June, 2014 Posted 4 June, 2014 Just saying Koeman signed Ever Banega for Valencia from Boca Juniors and John Guidetti on loan from Man Citeh for Feyenrood.
Saint Garrett Posted 4 June, 2014 Posted 4 June, 2014 There's plenty of players at Man Utd or Liverpool who could improve our squad.

This is what £30 mill buys you
Smirking_Saint Posted 4 June, 2014 Posted 4 June, 2014 In for lallana? Not necessarily as his replacement no but will certainly add something to the team
shurlock Posted 4 June, 2014 Posted 4 June, 2014 Not necessarily as his replacement no but will certainly add something to the team Yep mentioned him and assaidi. £17m + Borini for Lallana.
Saint Garrett Posted 7 June, 2014 Posted 7 June, 2014 Anyone mentioned Bendtner? I know he is a bit of a b3llend, but think he could be a decent signing on a free for us...
SuperSAINT Posted 7 June, 2014 Posted 7 June, 2014 Anyone mentioned Bendtner? I know he is a bit of a b3llend, but think he could be a decent signing on a free for us... I agree - He's a b3llend
Olallana Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 This thread needs to be bumped, as soon as we get a confirmation of the manager the players rumours has to start.... Inter Milan wants Osvaldo on a loan.....Why not offer them Osvaldo + £7-8m for Icardi....
Pastor Patrón Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 A huge yes please to Feillani, he's a superb player.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 A huge yese to Feillani, he's a superb player. Hugely overrated and a horrible player. Don't want him in a Saints shirt.
Heisenberg Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 Hugely overrated and a horrible player. Don't want him in a Saints shirt. Dont be fooled by one average season at United. Fellaini is still a class act imho
SNSUN Posted 16 June, 2014 Posted 16 June, 2014 Costel Pantillimon has joined Sunderland. Shame, I thought he'd be a good signing for us on a free.
Heisenberg Posted 16 June, 2014 Posted 16 June, 2014 Costel Pantillimon has joined Sunderland. Shame, I thought he'd be a good signing for us on a free. Let them have Panti, we will take Vito Mannone?
SNSUN Posted 16 June, 2014 Posted 16 June, 2014 Let them have Panti, we will take Vito Mannone? Would be a great signing.
