SaintRobbie Posted 14 August, 2014 Share Posted 14 August, 2014 (edited) I think with the time that is left we will sign at least one more. I think one more CB, possibly another striker and a winger. We still have Loadsa Money! BBCs Krueger Judgement Day table seems to indicate we could easily secure 2-3 more and have some change.... How the Saints moved on from their summer exodus (estimated transfer fees) OUTS INS Rickie Lambert £4m Grazing Pelle £9m Adam Lallana £25m Dusan Tadic £10.9m Luke Shaw £27m Ryan Bertrand (loan - £10m option to buy) Dejan Lovren £20m Florin Gardos £7m Calum Chambers £16m Saphir Taider (loan - £7m option to buy) Dani Osvaldo(loan - £5.6m)Shane Long £12m Billy Sharp Nominal Fraser Forster £10m £97.6m in / £65.9m out = £37m still to go!!!!!!!! LOADSA MONEY, We could also be adding Schneiderlin, Boruc and Cork transfer fees to this pile too. Edited 14 August, 2014 by SaintRobbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRobbie Posted 14 August, 2014 Share Posted 14 August, 2014 So you dont think the club have already provided a statement of intent brining in the two Koeman's, Sammy Lee and a number of (not cheap) players??? We are still not in the top 8 for spending in the PL this summer.... But we're getting there SOG I think we are nearly there, but not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted 14 August, 2014 Share Posted 14 August, 2014 I hope those three will stay, at least until January. I also think that they will keep some money back for future transfer windows - no point in p*ssing it all up the wall in one go if we dont have to!

madruss Posted 14 August, 2014 Share Posted 14 August, 2014 I expect we'll know tomorrow when Koeman does his press conference whether our summer spending spree is over or not.

sadoldgit Posted 14 August, 2014 Share Posted 14 August, 2014 We're not struggling to get a team out. We have a hell of a lot of options, just the problem of many new faces. WBA have the problem of a very poor squad, a poor managerial appointment and fans convinced they'll go down. Really hoping we can take them apart first home game. I am not expecting too much against Liverpool but yes, this is a game it would be good to win big in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratio_decidendi Posted 14 August, 2014 Share Posted 14 August, 2014 Who would u rather have on loan, Scott Sinclair or Serge Gnarby? Scott Sinclair on the basis that to help him rediscover his talent and form we can provide him with the incentive of a more permanent stay. It seems that's never going to happen with Gnabry who might be better short term, but is very unlikely to stay past one season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon Saint Posted 15 August, 2014 Share Posted 15 August, 2014 You actually have no knowledge of how he handled it, only what was said in public after the event. What happened in private before that no-one ,except AB and RK, knows about. Ha, do you think footballers live in a hermetically sealed world where nothing said in the public domain affects their mood/morale? Only have to look at Morgan's reaction to Krueger's talkSPORT/Sky Sports interviews for that. I can only judge personally on what was said in public, but compared to say Pellegrini's handling of the Hart/Cabellero situation, I thought Koeman could have done more to foster genuine competition between our two goalkeepers.

Toon Saint Posted 15 August, 2014 Share Posted 15 August, 2014 (edited) Morgan's reaction followed a meeting he had with his agent and the club. Not what was said in the media. He tweeted to gain maximum public exposure after our Chairman had publicly stated he was not for sale. Difficult to believe he would have tweeted after a private meeting as what currency would the tweet have otherwise? No one would know what the fudge he was on about. The timing was deliberate and follows a tactic used by the likes of Lovren and Shaw - albeit to a lesser extent, with his tweets about Williams/Dodds sacking after he had already told the club he wanted to leave - to use social media to put pressure on the club.

Sour Mash Posted 15 August, 2014 Share Posted 15 August, 2014 That's utterly irrelevant in this instance as most peoples opinions are that there isn't much between the two keepers in terms of ability. Forget age, price tags etc. There was always a huge difference in ability between Yoshida and Lovren. So what? Either it's "disrespectful" or it's not.

Ashby Saint Posted 15 August, 2014 Share Posted 15 August, 2014 I was SO proud of our English core last season... Me too! However, it is clearly not all the club's fault. The way in which these players chased a top six transfer all summer has tempered my disappointment. Hopefully the next crop of youngsters will prove me wrong but I doubt it. Interesting that we are linked with young players from Leeds and Brighton - obviously looking to take English talent ourselves from a little higher up the food chain.

One more good cb and I think we can be quite happy with ourselves. VVD fits the bill for me. Strong in the air and can play out from the back. We still might fancy a winger and, possibly, a RB but we do have options from the development squad and do not necessarily need to enter the market unless the right player becomes available for the right place (ie we can do good deals on the likes of Byram or Solly).

angelman Posted 15 August, 2014 Share Posted 15 August, 2014 So CB options are looking like Vlaar, VVD and Wollscheid. Vlaar would be good tactically as it would seriously hurt Villa but he is getting on in age (29). Wolls might be good as a loan + option to buy and at 24 a good age. Don't know much about him or VVD, who is 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_ed Posted 15 August, 2014 Share Posted 15 August, 2014 Good to see we may potentially be after another centre back.

Depends if we see Stephens or whoever making a step up on occasion. I suspect though the Wollscheid rumours may be recycled from last week before we bought Gardos (who is also a 6'4" CB), so our interest may have cooled. VVD, who I understand is more of a cultured ball playing CB may however still be an option as he perhaps offers something different or extra to what we already have.

According to the link, Sports witness got it from La Republica, an Italian nerws paper, here is their source (which does not name any club as interested but says Gonzalez did not train yesterday and is officially given leave for "family reasons": http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&rurl=translate.google.com&tl=en&u=http://roma.repubblica.it/sport/2014/08/14/news/lazio_stankovic_si_propone_pronto_per_la_serie_a_gonzalez_in_premier-93732309/&usg=ALkJrhiXVRxfk3gtfr9zuz8qNbLmidasSQ Lotito wants to first understand whether there are possibilities to arrive at a name with more appeal. It would be easier to get to - in the case - with some disposal: very close to Gonzalez in the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder yesterday did not participate in training, officially on leave for family reasons: expected news soon. In addition to that, it was was also mentioned in Il Messaggero here, with a fee of 5m euros mentioned http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=it&u=http://sport.ilmessaggero.it/calcio/serie_a/lazio-amp-egrave-il-momento-di-vendere-amp-8203-serve-il-tesoretto-per-il-difensore/844704.shtml&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dil%2Bmessaggero%2Bgonzalez%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3Dsld%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26channel%3Dsb%26biw%3D1536%26bih%3D690%26tbs%3Dqdr:w Something different for Gonzalez. In recent days there has been in some of these clubs and what seems to have more serious intentions is Southampton who would be willing to pay € 5 million to make sure the Uruguayan.
