alpine_saint Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 Everyone in football thinks we are going to be sitting on a transfer war chest of 100m + this summer. Its hardly surprising that every club and player we wish to do business with is going to hold out for every single damn cent they can get. And as this thread suggests, fans and club alike are going to get ever more desperate so the club will be agreeing to the other clubs valuation more and more often. As a few people have said on here, its far better to hold on to the quality players you have exactly because their quality is known....

The9 Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 All this thread has done for me is made me consider whether circling sharks or vultures are more of a concern. I'm going for sharks, because they might actually attack you when you were ok, if the vultures are involved you've already had it. Though if you survive the sharks and then the vultures have a pop, well, that's unlucky, and you can't blame Les Reed for that. Though maybe buying your drinking water and/or shark tank when the prices were cheaper and before everyone knew you really needed them might have been an idea? Or something.

The thing is, sometimes you have to pay good money for good players and griping about things is a false economy if it disrupts planning and stops playeers having time to 'gel' together pre-season.

Though in the last two seasons we had a manager in place and no world cup. Having to go out and find a new manager and coaching staff would have had to be the 1st priority over players I would have thought so that has probably put the timetable, re player signings, at the club back a couple of weeks I reckon.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 5 July, 2014 Share Posted 5 July, 2014 Oh dear, there's going to be a few people coming down to Earth with a big bump come August kick off. There's only one way to replace 5 + years of team spirit and it's not signing lot's of lower quality players at inflated prices or relying wholly on untested youth. I said months ago that the summer would be a massive test of the Boards competence and we're now at the sharp end. At the moment the signs appear not too positive, but there is still time to make the right buying decisions. #itsnothappeningyet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 5 July, 2014 Share Posted 5 July, 2014 One of the only PL teams now not to sign anyone, the only team to have lost three top players; and our first two signings it seems will be replacements for outgoings rather than an addition of quality vs last season. We need on average one signing a week now until the end of the window assuming Morgan and Lovren go. I think we will end up making the replacements but won't tackle some of the other areas. For example if Lovren goes we will obviously bring in a centre back. But we needed one anyway to replace the hapless Hooiveld. So will we go and get two?

A team that struggles in the first few months rarely gets out of the mire Crystal Palace being a rare exception. The board must have known Mopo and many players would leave well before the end of last season and yet seem to have been extremely slow to react whilst still talking about improving the squad and kicking on! So far the evidence of shoring up the boat never mind going on to kick on is still absent hence the many concerns!

Mmm, not really...I don't think we've seen any real signs yet that the substantive squad adjustment to push on from last year is taking place or will take place.

captainchris Posted 5 July, 2014 Share Posted 5 July, 2014 I, on the other hand, would definitely class you as a bedwetter! We've had a manager for what, a couple of weeks? We're four days into July, for goodness' sake, and we've got ITK knowledge that we'll have a signing by Tuesday. We've also signed up 9 academy players and given two academy graduates new contracts too. What more were you expecting? How you can make an accusation of 'bed wetting' when you could conversely be accused of complacency. We have lost our chairman with another one gone AWOL , manager, youth team coaches, three key players with at least another 3 key players possibly wanting to leave! These are facts, not just conjecture. We have signed a new manager but no players. We are into pre season training. We possibly have players on strike and say what you like but if this isn't a club in turmoil and with water still coming in faster than is being pumped out then I don't know what is........ We have sleep walked into a new season before now without making signings, people are concerned we will do it again...

Leicestersaint Posted 5 July, 2014 Share Posted 5 July, 2014 I wouldn't class myself as a 'bedwetter' but am getting increasingly concerned that we have not made any signings yet. We are going to need 6-7 new players to replace departees and improve squad depth but we have made none yet. Other clubs like West ham, Liverpool, Man U, Hull, Swansea are getting deals done early doors and I truly hope we are not left behind. I'm sure the club have signings lined up (or at least hope so) but would truly love 3-4 signings over the next week or so to settle things down. Hopefully RK can persuade Morgan to give us one more season and, if we don't hit targets this season, allow him to leave with our blessing next summer. Lovren can p**s off after we helped resurrect his career. Here's hoping for some good news over the next week or so.....we are due some for sure. Academy alone will not be enough to bolster the squad but maybe the likes of Reed, Stephens and McQueen will be like new signings for us. I must say I do agree with this. We needed a new CB and keeper before all the recent upheavals and now we also need at least one good striker, and a pacey midfielder. Now it increasingly looks like Lovren and/or Schneiderlin will be going so they need replacing. The current Saints set-up does come over as rather complacent and inactive. All a bit worrying.

oldskoolsi Posted 5 July, 2014 Share Posted 5 July, 2014 I'd say Osvaldo and ramirez were players we had been chasing all summer and the only reason they were late signings was because they wanted to see if there were better offers. The fact that Osvaldo took a pay cut to go on loan suggests money was not an issue for him signing for us and I don't think it was for Ramirez too. I think we offered clubs enough money to buy them from too. i just don't think they were that keen on joining us. I do think if players stall so long to see if there are better offers then we should definitely not buy them as they are clearly not interested in Saints. As for Mayuka and Yoshida, I don't think they were first choice picks but only came through because other deals fell down. In an ideal world all our business would be done early but unfortunately life is not like that. I'm sure we are doing all we can to sign players and as long as we don't adopt the Tottenham way then i'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not bed wetting, however you appear to be complacent and the evidence of the last six months says the board may well be too....This is a concern would you not agree? Although I agree with the sentiment, I'm just a but calmer about it. I'm not sure for instance that it's a FACT that a chairman is Absent WithOut Leave. I'm also less inclined to use the term FACT when prefixing it with "possibly". The facts are: we had a good season last year finishing 8th. That's now gone. We have sold three key players, 2 of which came from League 1 with us, one whom has had one season. We have lost our manager who some fans questioned but most were happy with. We have replaced him with a manager who some fans have questioned but most are happy with. We've added a reputable goalkeeping coach and coach We have around 7 weeks until the start of the season. The following is opinion, spot the difference: The saints board and management team will be aware of how unsettled things are and that if they want to make a fist of next season we need 4-8 good signings. To get that sort of success rate is unlikely. Koeman probably knew this situation and may have even sanctioned the moves for Shaw and lallana. I'm hoping we stick firm with Lovren and Morgan, losing them would be a massive problem at this moment in time. I'm confident we are looking to sign players in the best interests of the club and as quickly as we can. Some of these will be to replace the guys who have left, some additions. I'm also relatively happy with our transfer dealings over the past few years and consider them good when compared with other clubs. My feeling is of worry about the discontent, nervous excitement about the new season and next 7 week, happy to see Koeman in charge and what he will do with it, determination to enjoy it no matter what.

adrian lord Posted 5 July, 2014 Share Posted 5 July, 2014 There's a long way to go in this window, which on one hand is lucky given our problems but also long enough to lose Lovren and Schneiderlin for certain. Furthermore, the departures can only make us less attractive to quality incoming replacements who will generally hold out for more ambitious clubs and keep us as a fall back position for late in the window if that doesn't work out. This means we are likely get the more mediocre players who are coming here late on, feeling somewhat disappointed and with their egos bruised. Not a great basis for the new season.

Don't see there is any point in discussing opinions c. Don't agree with people expressing their opinions. What is your problem ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
