Nolan Posted 24 July, 2015 Share Posted 24 July, 2015 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/southampton-eye-transfer-hulls-james-6133742 interested in James Chester according to the Mirror. Highly accurate reporting.... " Romania ace Gardos, 26, won’t play again until February after being crocked in Thursday’s 3-0 pre-season friendly win over Feyenoord."

Saint Charlie Posted 24 July, 2015 Share Posted 24 July, 2015 Would be a decent 4th CB for £4-5m or so, not a bad player. But £8-10 when Toby only cost a little more and is a similar age is just utterly mental! Imagine its an agent link as he will be gagging to get out of Hull.

MikeSFC Posted 24 July, 2015 Share Posted 24 July, 2015 He is pretty good not an exciting name but he's not a bad defender, but no thanks if he's gunna cost 10 mil also he's under 6 foot pretty sure we are gunna have one of the smallest squads in the league.

krissyboy31 Posted 24 July, 2015 Share Posted 24 July, 2015 Chester is a decent player and very highly rated. Think the price is more likely to be £8mill but if we want him we'll need to pay it or Everton will. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 25 July, 2015 Share Posted 25 July, 2015 I know the price is premium for British players, but £10m for Chester with a year to go on his contract (in a team that got relegated) is pretty damn high. Then again didn't Norwich bid around £7.5m for Robbie Brady?! I'd guess Chester is an alternative to Virgil van Dijk. Our 4th choice DC will probably be a lot less than £10m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted 25 July, 2015 Share Posted 25 July, 2015 We definitely need to sign another defensive midfielder and another central defender if not two If 'Big Vic' is out injured or suspended are midfield with Clasie, Reed, Davis and Ward-Prowse are just too lightweight. And what are the chances that 'Big Vic' with only a year left on his contract next summer will want to move on to a bigger club with Champion League football - so it's as much about succession management as strength in depth. We should take a look at taking Oriol Romeu on loan from Chelsea for the season with an option to buy next summer. At centreback it's pretty much the same situation - maybe a bit worse even - with only two fit first choice players in Fonte and Yoshida and maybe three young players who might be able to step up at some point in the future. So as well as replacing Toby we now need to find cover for Gardos. We should also have one eye on finding a successor to Fonte given his age - and I can see him heading back to Portugal next season to Sporting Lisbon or Benfica for one last big move and Champions League football. So Van Dijk would be a start but we really need to bring in two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Porter Posted 25 July, 2015 Share Posted 25 July, 2015 I don't see the need for two more centre backs. Four senior centre backs with some youngsters as cover is fine, it's a shame that Gardos is out for 6-7 months but there's no point spunking a chunk of our budget on five senior centre backs when we only play with two and have McCarthy, Turnbull, Stephens etc. I'd like to see us being in a top class CB, i hope we don't rush into a signing and make a mistake now Gardos is injured. Also another starting CDM, then we would have real competition for places in midfield with a few versatile players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintTex Posted 25 July, 2015 Share Posted 25 July, 2015 Chester is no slouch. He is probably Yoshida quality. I think if we could get him for closer to around £6.5m or £7m and bring in Van Dijk for around £12m that would be pretty good business. Especially since we have European games this season. I am less convinced we need another DM (although I wouldn't complain). If we are limiting ourselves to bringing in only two more players, I would rather it be two CBs than one CB and one DM.

Turkish Posted 25 July, 2015 Share Posted 25 July, 2015 Think if we so being two CBs in one would be on loan.
