SuperSAINT Posted 18 June, 2015 Share Posted 18 June, 2015 Think around 13 million euros was the asking price. Doesn't seem to much to spend if we are definitely losing Morgan we bid close to that for kryzowiak also True. I also remember last year either Guan or K.Billy hinting that we were leaking interest in players as a diversion for our actual targets. Maybe we're doing the same?

ErwinK1961 Posted 18 June, 2015 Share Posted 18 June, 2015 Has there actually been any proper solid link to Clasie, other than Koeman saying he's a player that he likes? Just seems to be a lot of assumption that he would be replacing Morgan, without anything substantial behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems to be a lot of assumption that he would be replacing Morgan, without anything substantial behind it. Koeman did actually come out and say ''He's on our list should Morgan leave''. I think if/when Morgan leaves, we'll get our top targets in those positions. At the moment I think it's all about beefing up the squad a bit, and if we sign a midfielder now, I'd look upon it more as a Cork replacement rather than anything else.

Just seems to be a lot of assumption that he would be replacing Morgan, without anything substantial behind it. Koeman has said he is 'on the list' if Schneiderlin leaves, and the Dutch media constantly say we're interested. It's fair to presume that should Schneiderlin leave we'll make a move for him if he is still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah fair enough, hadn't seen that. I guess I just would have expected a link to a bid of some sort like we have seen for Gueye and the Polish lad whose name I can't spell. Though as mentioned above, maybe these are the 'decoy' names whilst we're working behind the scenes on Clasie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 18 June, 2015 Share Posted 18 June, 2015 Whilst I'm not 100% sure we will go for another striker I was having a browse & doing some YouTube scouting & looked at Aleksandar Mitrovic. I notice Alan Nixon seemingly saying that he was close to joining Swansea recently, with us & Newcastle linked. Looks quality & scored a ridiculous amount of goals for a youngster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrDjrKtOdj0 Wonder if he's ever been "on the list"? *Warning - YouTube video features tedious music.

They were talking about Redmond and the U21's at the time not transfers specifically. We've been linked with him for about three years now. Didn't they want something stupid like £20 million last summer or the summer before? I don't think he's THAT good and I think we're okay in that position. I'd rather they focus on getting in a keeper (or two), a CB and a Morgan replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saint in winchester Posted 19 June, 2015 Share Posted 19 June, 2015 Goalkeeper option - with Cech almost certain to join Arsenal, looks like Ospina going out the door.

the saint in winchester Posted 19 June, 2015 Share Posted 19 June, 2015 The No9 spot - Demba Ba is keen to play in the Premiership again.

a1ex2001 Posted 19 June, 2015 Share Posted 19 June, 2015 (edited) Keeper is the position that worries me most at the minute and I really hope the club move quickly for a top quality player, we've done well getting some up and coming players in already this window but with Forster out I really think we need a proven option in goal. Ospina is a decent shout he had a good season for Arsenal by all accounts beyond that we need a cntre back which fingers crossed will be Toby but if he doesn't sign I'd hope we will look to bring in someone of real quality to play alongside Fonte. Some funny ones in this thread, would love to see Mitrovik here but can't see it his record says bigger club all over it or maybe we can convince him to do a Benteke and use us as a stepping stone?
