Baird of the land Posted 31 August, 2014 Share Posted 31 August, 2014 Gaston and Cork have played themselves into the team here, but I believe there are transfer options for both, hence there's a chance they may leave, but I think both will remain. Really hope we keep hold of both. Would be pretty terrible to lose them IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 31 August, 2014 Share Posted 31 August, 2014 Retarded to say categorically Gaston and Cork are going nowhere if there is still a good chance they'll leave. No. Taider has been allowed to return to Italy partly because Cork is now staying. Pretty sure Taider was brought in to replace Cork who was on brink of move to palace before Pulis left.

Saint_Tony Posted 31 August, 2014 Share Posted 31 August, 2014 At least Monday should be interesting, the last few deadlines have been incredibly boring. If we could bring in VVD and a winger, would be very happy. Have a feeling there might be a surprise or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 31 August, 2014 Share Posted 31 August, 2014 (edited) Capel used to be a major prospect, was linked with some 10m plus moves. Seems to have struggled a little recently but there is a player with proven class there if you can find it again. In a league far, far above Brek Shea anyway.

saintstr1 Posted 31 August, 2014 Share Posted 31 August, 2014 VVD would be superb signing , I watch him a lot and there is much more to his game than just another central defender , he is great at bringing the ball out from the back , has a very strong and accurate free kick and a killer with the head at corners. If koeman makes just one more signing he should make sure its Virgil. Plus the age is perfect and he would improve in the prem IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 31 August, 2014 Share Posted 31 August, 2014 Is today the transfer deadline day or has it been extended to tomorrow? The FA's offices need to be open to register the players; so whenever the 31st August falls on a Saturday deadline day is moved to the 2nd September and if its on a Sunday it is moved to the 1st September.

Saint Charlie Posted 31 August, 2014 Share Posted 31 August, 2014 Would be surprised personally if we went for a CB. Koeman said when we signed Gardos that we wouldn't be getting another one, and it would be hard to keep them all happy. Gardos would effectively be a fourth choice which I presume he didn't sign up for. Would be a great signing though, of course. Winger is the area we are most desperate for IMO.

Although Fonte was named captain, if van Dijk joined I think it would soon end up with Gardos and van Dijk as the centre back pairing. It would be Yoshida as 4th choice and Fonte as 3rd choice and the back up on the bench. Edited 31 August, 2014 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the logic in my head that we definitely need another CB has effected my memory! And if we did I doubt Gardos will be fourth choice, I fully expect him to be first choice, yes better than Fonte!

It would be Yoshida as 4th choice and Fonte as 3rd choice and the back up on the bench. A game of opinions but I am fairly certain Fonte will not be third choice - new contract and team captain etc. Gardos is fighting for a first team spot with Yoshida as I see it. If he was that good he'd start. Can't see us signing another central defender unless we can shift Hooiveld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put a great cross in yesterday for the Norwich goal and he has pace. As far as the fee goes, I suppose the bargain we seem to have got in Tadic coupled with the massive fees we've got in, level out what we paid for Long and what we are likely to pay for Redmond.

Just because you're indifferent to finances, doesn't mean that value for money considerations go out the window.

Bad Wolf Posted 31 August, 2014 Share Posted 31 August, 2014 Dundee are my second team so taking advantage the opportunity to watch them which I rarely get the chance to do! Celtic look gash without him (though tbh they looked gash with him). Tater just said that the reason he's not in the squad today is because his wife/girlfriend is expecting a baby any time and he's not focused on football (fair play). But they also said he'll be staying at Celtic. With that and the fact that Koeman said we're not after another CB, I think this one's probably dead. Does look quality though, best thing we can do is keep an eye on him through the next 10 months and see if he has another consistent season. Would be delighted to see him join us next season.
