John B Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 As we are in fourth position I think we should spend big on a Striker to increase our chances of European Football I will be interested in what the Club does like Koemann says our GK Defence and Midfield are excellent but we do miss a lot of goal chances
nta786 Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 If the price is right, and Koeman, scouts etc believe he will add to the team.
Batman Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 It is a shame rodriguez is still out. he was brilliant last season but I agree, we are a top striker away from being the real deal (for top 4)
SaintSteve Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Did not Koeman come out and say we are looking for another striker... or did I dream that ?
Nolan Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Did not Koeman come out and say we are looking for another striker... or did I dream that ? "if we need another player, it will be an attacker" was what he said at yesterday's presser.
saint_ed Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Yep def need another top striker, to make Pelle up his game again if nothing else.
MarkSFC Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Just bung Burnley 12-15 big ones for Ings and be done with it.
BotleySaint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Worth a sneaky £10m bid for Harry Kane I'd say
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 I still think we should try for Benteke...
Wrensup Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 I still think we should try for Benteke... Don't think we'd be big time enough for his ego, that said I'd want him in the team for sure.
Badger Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 We need an understudy GK. Injury to Forster and the season will soon come crashing down.
Lighthouse Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Just bung Burnley 12-15 big ones for Ings and be done with it. He's got 4 goals and is out of contract in summer. Apart from being a Saints fan what is so good about him?
Downthe36 Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 So hard to get a decent striker in January. My best suggestion would be to sign Bertrand and use the free domestic loan spot to try and bring in Remy on loan from Chelsea. Hardly playing there, and Chelsea could be up for it if it gives us a better chance of taking points off big clubs.
Saxon Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Worth a sneaky £10m bid for Harry Kane I'd say As unlikely as that is now, after us being linked with him earlier, wouldn't it be delicious if we pinched him now but never going to happen in a million years! Still, we can dream
Mr X Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 We desperately need a top class striker to play alongside pelle and with jrod injured long isn't the right player but can do a job for us in a different role will the board want to spend 20 million plus though??
Smirking_Saint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 I still think we should try for Benteke... Been saying this for ages. He would be exactly what we need. Though Id be happy for us to go for Kane aswell
Smirking_Saint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 He's got 4 goals and is out of contract in summer. Apart from being a Saints fan what is so good about him? I dont really know the answer to this either ?! Also wouldnt fit our game imo
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 He's got 4 goals and is out of contract in summer. Apart from being a Saints fan what is so good about him? This.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Been saying this for ages. He would be exactly what we need. Though Id be happy for us to go for Kane aswell Not as expensive as he would have been last summer as well. £16m could do it.
Dark Munster Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Yes. Front line striker who can score, and a back-up GK.
Dark Munster Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 BTW, the Kane ship sailed away a long time ago.
Batman Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Not as expensive as he would have been last summer as well. £16m could do it. It is the wages that would stop it IMO
Smirking_Saint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 It is the wages that would stop it IMO Really ? How much is he on ? No more than Osvaldo or Ramirez Id of thought
Batman Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Really ? How much is he on ? No more than Osvaldo or Ramirez Id of thought It's how much he could fetch in the market. A few clubs are after a striker like him. City, Spurs, Liverpool it seems Just think that SHOULD villa sell him, they would want huge money and his agent would want big wages
Lighthouse Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Villa will be in trouble without Benteke, they wont sell unless somebody comes in with an obscene offer (queue Liverpool on deadline day). His wages demands will be outside of our range and he wont see us as much of a step up.
Tom28 Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Charlie Austin for me. We should have signed him a few years back.
simo Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 If a decent striker and right back (although Cork who can play there and Gallagher are back training ?) become available at the right price I wouldn't say no !
aintforever Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Anyone have any idea how we stand with FFP? I doubt that would be an issue, we still havn't spent all our cash from the summer.
Ohio Saint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 I doubt that would be an issue, we still havn't spent all our cash from the summer. Ah, OK......Excess transfer cash can be diverted to wages? Is that correct?
View From The Top Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 We wouldn't meet Bonny's wage demands in the summer so I can't see us meeting Benteke's, which is a great pity.
Saint_clark Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Charlie Austin for me. We should have signed him a few years back. This is the one.
Golden Balls Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 They'll be a striker out there I've never heard of.
Redslo Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Worth a sneaky £10m bid for Harry Kane I'd say It won't work, but it is worth insulting them like they did us in the summer for Schneiderlin.
Saint Matty 76 Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 QPR obviously won't sell Austin in January and basically confirm their relegation, same to a lesser extent with Ings and same with Benteke. If we sign a striker in Jan it'll be from abroad.
JxgrSaint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Wouldn't mind Podolski as competition up front, would be cheaper than Benteke and actually up for sale....
SaintRobbie Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 As we are in fourth position I think we should spend big on a Striker to increase our chances of European Football I will be interested in what the Club does like Koemann says our GK Defence and Midfield are excellent but we do miss a lot of goal chances Yes - I agree 100%. We have needed a quality striker since the summer as a back up and competition for Pelle/Jay Rod. Mayuka needs offloading too, as fast as possible.
Lazlo78 Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Charlie Austin for me. We should have signed him a few years back. We should have moved for Lee Trundle when we had the chance...
Rebel Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 We need a another striker - ideally someone with pace - and another right back at the very least.
cobbysouth Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 A striker would be great but toby and bertrand are more important. We are a good team at the moment. Signing them 2 will is so important.
Saint_clark Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Wouldn't mind Podolski as competition up front, would be cheaper than Benteke and actually up for sale.... As we've played Arsenal twice we could just get him on loan to see how things work out.
