Baird of the land Posted 31 August, 2014 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.

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 31 August, 2014 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 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

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Cropper was 3rd keeper yesterday so I would take a punt on gazza leaving on loan and boruc free transfer. Mayuka will be farmed out on loan and possibly Jos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Saint Charlie Posted 31 August, 2014 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. Edited 31 August, 2014 by Saint Charlie
SuperSAINT Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Does anyone know if Van Dijk can do a job at right back? I wondered that the other day. Not as far as I know. He looks like he has the qualities to fill in as a defensive midfielder or sweeper though.
sambosa75 Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Is today the transfer deadline day or has it been extended to tomorrow?

Wade Garrett Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Even in the desperation of a last day in the window, how on earth can Nathan Redmond be worth £9m?
S-Clarke Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Even in the desperation of a last day in the window, how on earth can Nathan Redmond be worth £9m? Because Shane Long cost £12m, McGoldrick will cost £8m. Fee's mean nothing anymore. No reflection on the ability of the player or the stature. As I said with Long, ignore the fee...just look at what he'd bring us as a player.
SuperSAINT Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Even in the desperation of a last day in the window, how on earth can Nathan Redmond be worth £9m? I thought Stoke agreed a fee for £6m too?! Thing is, if he's a success he'll probably be worth double that in 12 months time.
saintstr1 Posted 31 August, 2014 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
Matthew Le God Posted 31 August, 2014 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 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.

It would have been a lot in the past, but £9m for Nathan Redmond doesn't stand out compared to other English club to English club transfers in the current marketplace (post massive 2013 TV deal).

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
S-Clarke Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Lovely assist from Redmond yesterday. I thought it was him, yes it was a very good cross.

Please supply the link to video or quotes as I do not recall these exact words, I just recall that it was hinted or from what he said made it sound like that. More than happy to be proved wrong, it's just a few people have said that to me and I think I've followed everything this summer! 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!

The other day he was nailed on going to Sunderland. Will probably move somewhere, but loads of teams seem keen including some in Germany.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Why do you think that? 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. 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.
Wade Garrett Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Because Shane Long cost £12m, McGoldrick will cost £8m. Fee's mean nothing anymore. No reflection on the ability of the player or the stature. As I said with Long, ignore the fee...just look at what he'd bring us as a player. Good point. 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.

Saint Charlie Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Most of the chat still being that he is going to Sunderland. Poyet was after him a couple of years ago when he was at Brighton, has been a long term target.
sadoldgit Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 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. I thought the club said that there had been no offers for Cork so far? And why would Pullis walk over transfers if he had just put in a £3m bid for Cork?

If he was that good he'd start. Can't see us signing another central defender unless we can shift Hooiveld. Gardos missed a significant part of pre-season, which is key to why he hasn't played for us yet. I think he'll be starting for Saints after the international break, Koeman suggested as much in a recent interview.

Just because you're indifferent to finances, doesn't mean that value for money considerations go out the window. Every player 'brings something' -as trite and disingenuous a statement as you'll hear- doesn't mean that there isn't a limit on what a club should pay. Edited 31 August, 2014 by shurlock

Heisenberg Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Van Dijk not in Celtic team today. Noticed that..... Would be delighted if we got him, he looks outstanding. Think he'll go to swansea or sunderland though
SaintRobbie Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 No Van Dijk for Celtic today against Dundee. I'd prefer Vlaar, but we need a CB. He knows Forster and is better than Yoshida. Gardos as cover. Works for me.
ThreeSixty Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Celtic gaffer says he won't be leaving. Out of squad to be at birth of child.
Bad Wolf Posted 31 August, 2014 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.
JxgrSaint Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Alessio Cerci is going to Atletico Madrid according to Di Marzio...
DT Posted 31 August, 2014 Posted 31 August, 2014 Feel SO sorry for Pochettino. Not. Hope their idiot fans start whining already and crank up the pressure...
