stevegrant Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 Kane and Dawson are below the level we should be looking at, IMO, especially given the "English premium" that would inevitably be added to their price tag. Neither would be an automatic starter in our current first XI. Welbeck would suit our system perfectly, but his wages (and transfer fee) might price us out of a move, and you could almost certainly find better value on the continent.

eurosaint Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 My guess is that most business will be done even later than normal this year. Players at the WC will want to wait until after the tournament to maximise their wage/value, whilst buying clubs will wait to be sure they are not buying a crock. Expect nothing until August.

LostBoys Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 Why are we proposing buying either dross from other clubs or untried players at Prem level. If we ever sign bambi on ice (useless Welbeck) I will throw my ST onto the pitch if I have bought one by then. Maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been critical of Welbeck before, but have come round to the idea that he could be very good at the right team. He clearly needs a solid run of games actually playing up front. I agree, I think he'd be a good fit for us. Would love us to make a real move for him. Not sure about Kane, haven't seen enough to have a fully formed opinion, but has been ok whenever I have seen him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 Why is it the morons demanding countless signings every window, 'statements of intent' and expensive shiny new toys are always the exact same morons who slag off expensive shiny new signings without 20 minutes and get borderline racist in their relentless attacks the rest of the season? I can't think who you can possibly be thinking of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 Wish you'd bugger off, take Bazza with you Great to have such a thoughtful input. Maybe you should take a hike as you obviously have nothing useful or remotely intelligent to contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanh Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 What exactly do you want the club to do to allay people's genuine fears? MP has got another year on his contract so unless he breaks it he's here next season. Even getting him to sign another one won't stop the speculation about him being poached by someone else, or the possibility that he might leave should an 'too good to refuse' offer comes along. Season ticket holders (me included) will be buying into seeing Saints play 19 times in the Prem next season. We aren't buying into a guarantee that Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana or any of the other members of the current squad will be playing for Saints in those games because that's impossible for the club to commit to. It's the same for all clubs everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
