SuperSAINT Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 SSN are reporting that Arsenal are leading the chase for Alderweireld so that ship may have sailed. We've been Rojo'd again!
EBS1980 Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 SSN are reporting that Arsenal are leading the chase for Alderweireld so that ship may have sailed. Well depends, he wants to leave to play regularly. If he goes to Arsenal is he going to get that? I can't see it to be honest.
Greenridge Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Well depends, he wants to leave to play regularly. If he goes to Arsenal is he going to get that? I can't see it to be honest. Yes there could be a number of reasons why he would chose to turn down Arsenal (assuming they do want him). But we've been reading on here for months that players never turn down 'top four' / 'CL' / 'huge wage' / 'biggest clubs in the world' teams

studentsaint Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 We are a budget version of united this summer. Line up unrealistic targets, persue them for 3/4 of the summer, get rejected and pay over the odds on our transfer B list.
CB Fry Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Yes there could be a number of reasons why he would chose to turn down Arsenal (assuming they do want him). But we've been reading on here for months that players never turn down 'top four' / 'CL' / 'huge wage' / 'biggest clubs in the world' teams He hasn't signed for us yet. If he turns down Arsenal for us he's fu cking mental.

Saint Charlie Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 We have wasted a load of cash this summer. Is there really any point wasting more?
ART Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 We have wasted a load of cash this summer. Is there really any point wasting more? Best thing you've posted all summer. I fear Koeman's lost the plot.
Greenridge Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 He hasn't signed for us yet. If he turns down Arsenal for us he's fu cking mental. Let's hope he's not a guest of ours at the game tonight.
Saint Charlie Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Best thing you've posted all summer. I fear Koeman's lost the plot. Its not him thats picking them all. He is a 4-3-3 Manager but doesnt have the tools.
Ashby Saint Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Its not him thats picking them all. He is a 4-3-3 Manager but doesnt have the tools. This seems a bit more positive http://outsideoftheboot.com/2014/08/27/analysing-ronald-koemans-start-to-life-in-the-premier-league-with-southampton/?
Batman Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 what a muvver fuking cheeky goal to score against man u lol
Batman Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 ffs I feel sorry for Pelle he is doing a lot right this half, just wont go in
Heisenberg Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Celtic about to bomb out here. 3 mins left Hoping we had someone looking at VVD tonight, hes looked v.decent
SO16_Saint Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Claise to join after Feynoords game on Thursday according to some random on FACEBOOK
RinNY Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 ffs I feel sorry for Pelle he is doing a lot right this half, just wont go in Spoke too soon: a nice goal from a very deft finish in extra time: Pelle is off the mark! Looked very good in the 2nd half, I must say.
Smirking_Saint Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Its not him thats picking them all. He is a 4-3-3 Manager but doesnt have the tools. It could be worse, he coukd be his fellow dutch counterpart. Spending the best part of 200m on an injured LB, a very overpriced CM, a wide player for a formation that doesnt play conventional wingers yet deciding that Jones, Smalling and Evens are a good enough defence to challenge top four Im not going to start on playing young and mata etc as wingbacks As far as Koeman is concerned, his recruitment hasnt been too bad. Realistically it will always be difficult to convince players we were a good option as well as trying to be prudent(ish) for wages etc. outgoings have been poor but is that really Koemans fault ? Realistically Id of said we may have been able to go for the likes of Alderweireld etc should we not have sold our better players, selling the club to them right now must be difficult.
SNSUN Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Celtic fans on one of their forums think he's off. Apparently Newcastle interested though... Edit: meant to quote the Van Dijk post above. Oh well...
Saint-Armstrong Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Koeman tells Solent he expects to sign at least one new player before the weekend.
Bewildered Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Koeman tells Solent he expects to sign at least one new player before the weekend. Someone activate the ITK signal.
S-Clarke Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Koeman tells Solent he expects to sign at least one new player before the weekend. Cheers. That would imply something is pretty much done and dusted, and given that Toby is the only one with what seems to be real legs in the media at the moment, then it could well be him.
Saint Charlie Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 After the Brighton game he said he hoped to sign two or three over the weekend and we signed one (Taider) about a week later. Surely this one will be a wide player.
Puddings and Monkeys Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 After the Brighton game he said he hoped to sign two or three over the weekend and we signed one (Taider) about a week later. He must be talking shyte then right?
Saint Charlie Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 He must be talking shyte then right? Nope. Just that lots usually has to fall in place to sign a player and expecting to sign one isnt the same as will sign.
Matthew Le God Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Koeman tells Solent he expects to sign at least one new player before the weekend. He doesn't say "expects" in this interview from 3:40... https://audioboo.fm/boos/2425366-saintsfc-boss-ronald-koeman-speaks-to-bigadamsport-after-2-0-league-cup-r2-win-at-millwall He says "I hope", which is completely different to expecting.
Greenridge Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Koeman tells Solent he expects to sign at least one new player before the weekend. If that's the same interview with Solent I just listened to he started by saying he hopes to have a signing by the weekend then went on to say one or two albeit he didn't put a timescale on that but it could be by close on Monday rather than by Saturday.

If we really are after "1 or 2" then signing Clasie doesn't really mesh with that. I always imagined the 2 to be a right back & winger. (Preferably a centre back who can cover right back).
Greenridge Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 If we really are after "1 or 2" then signing Clasie doesn't really mesh with that. I always imagined the 2 to be a right back & winger. (Preferably a centre back who can cover right back). Could just be a turn of phrase.
Smirking_Saint Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 I still think we definately need two, ultimately Id be dissapointed if its Clasie, that sounds strange as he is a cracking player but ultimately he comes into a position we dont necessarily need another body. Id much rather look at grabbing a CB/RB cover (or just offer Cork a contract) and get someone out wide to help stretch games and provide some width/crossing ability for Pellé and long.
SNSUN Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 I'd imagine the one player is a winger, and the two players are a winger and centre back. We still lack depth at right back too. Then there's any 'outs' we may have to endure, those would need new signings for too. 1 or 2, so Koeman says, could be a turn of phrase as Greenridge states.
Kingsland Red Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 (edited) Redmond not in the Norwich squad tonight…... Edited 26 August, 2014 by Kingsland Red
Badger Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Local Norfolk TV 'Mustard TV' just said that Saints are back in for Nathan Redmond. Not at all convinced by Redmond. Yes, young with potential, but looking at a youtube clip yesterday and it did appear a compilation of 'best balloned or off target shots' for the season (with a couple of goals thrown in for good measure).
Badger Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Richmond not in the Norwich squad tonight…... Your perhaps thinking of Fiona..
Viking Warrior Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Ah Fiona Richmond does she make the 70's totty thread in the lounge . Is she still with Christopher peacock
Whitey Grandad Posted 26 August, 2014 Posted 26 August, 2014 Ah Fiona Richmond does she make the 70's totty thread in the lounge . Is she still with Christopher peacock I saw a lot of her at the Kings Theatre, Southsea, a lifetime ago. Can she play centre forward?

Ken Tone Posted 27 August, 2014 Posted 27 August, 2014 We've been Rojo'd again! right up the Buttner?
Cosmic Posted 27 August, 2014 Posted 27 August, 2014 Not content with poaching our young English full backs, United and now Arsenal also seem intent on stopping us replacing either of them. Seems petty if you ask me.

thefuriousb Posted 27 August, 2014 Posted 27 August, 2014 We aren't very good at closing deals, are we? You are confident we were definitely in the final stages of negotiations then but messed up?
fish fingers Posted 27 August, 2014 Posted 27 August, 2014 We aren't very good at closing deals, are we? You are assuming we were actually interested.
MAY-Z Posted 27 August, 2014 Posted 27 August, 2014 We have wasted a load of cash this summer. Is there really any point wasting more? Just imagine if we hadn't frittered do much away on mayuka, gazzaniga, forren & osvsldo we may have been good enough to qualify for Europe and kept last seasons improved squad together
Sleaford_Saint Posted 27 August, 2014 Posted 27 August, 2014 We aren't very good at closing deals, are we? Maybe we're looking elsewhere. The quote is from VVD last night on Dutch TV.

Goatboy Posted 27 August, 2014 Posted 27 August, 2014 Just imagine if we hadn't frittered do much away on mayuka, gazzaniga, forren & osvsldo we may have been good enough to qualify for Europe and kept last seasons improved squad together If I had t*ts I would play with them all day.

So if he can't play CL with Celtic then how could he at Saints?
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 27 August, 2014 Posted 27 August, 2014 So if he can't play CL with Celtic then how could he at Saints? Good season here = move to Champs League?
