RedFear Posted 27 July, 2015 Share Posted 27 July, 2015 no, no, no, we are no slower than other clubs, according to the "experts" on here... exactly right alps. when is everyone else going to wake up like us two?? clyne left ages ago, where is his replacement? Its been obvious to anyone paying attention morgan was leaving since last year, where is his replacement? Forster got injured last year for **** sake, isnt about time we got an extra keeper in? what about full back? we have been weak there since last season, why oh why have we not got extra cover there? and its not just replacing players that have left, why dont we ever buy promising youngsters from abroad? if we dont start moving soon we will be left behind and Alps will have been the only one to have seen it coming we have been run like a sunday league team for too long now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Patrik Posted 27 July, 2015 Share Posted 27 July, 2015 In this link you can see that almost 50% of the PL clubs have made 5 signings so far so Saints are doing good - but still a few left in to be do great. http://www.skysports.com/football/transfer-deals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 27 July, 2015 Share Posted 27 July, 2015 How many other teams have made 5 signings by this point out of interest? Probably about 7 or 8. To caveat that though, I don't think anyone else apart from Villa lost two of their best players. So I would say whilst our signings have been great, only Juanmi is an addition rather than a replacement. (Martina effectively a delayed Chambers replacement). Our squad looks really strong and balanced though, centre back aside - and we will be sorting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 27 July, 2015 Share Posted 27 July, 2015 If you look at the past seasons, you will almost always see that the middle period of the transfer window is often the quietest. You get a few early ones through the door at the start of the window, and then it's a game of poker - up until the last few weeks of August anyway. Silly to think nothing is happening, as we are probably incredibly busy trying to put things in place. It's not like FM where you can just table a bid and have a response with in a few seconds, in some situations it can take weeks. And if that means we get our prefered target - on our terms - then I'm not bothered. Overpaying and panicking to just get things done isn't the way to go. If some of the people on here ran a football club then they'd be in L2 and in receivership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a1ex2001 Posted 27 July, 2015 Share Posted 27 July, 2015 You are without doubt the thickest person I've encountered on the Internet. When oh when will people realise that if you don't feed a troll they disappear? I think we've had a good window so far the only losses have been expected and nothing on a par with last seasons shocks we have moved quickly for our preferred replacements and seem to have got good players for sensible money. We have added 3 other players who complement the squad well, we all know we are a centre back (or two) light but as RK said we are moving on that and again as well all know it's never easy to get top class players but I'm sure we will have a centre back (or two) signed before the real football starts. I wish people would just sit back and enjoy the close season with out the endless fretting over nothing come the end of August or start of September we will see the players we have available and we will see that we have another good side that should finish top 10+ As usual one or two clubs have been out splashing the cash and signing loads of players but again as usual I've not seen many sign players that I would have really wanted us to be in for!

Daft Kerplunk Posted 27 July, 2015 Share Posted 27 July, 2015 Chester is too short to be our next centre back 1.77m. Fabio Cannavaro - Height: 1.76 m Therefore height does not always equate with ability to be a central defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 27 July, 2015 Share Posted 27 July, 2015 Links like Chambers smacks of panic stations. I'm confident Koeman has his first choice identified, and is trying hard to bring him in. We haven't been the sort to panic sign players of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroppie Posted 27 July, 2015 Share Posted 27 July, 2015 Why is that panic? If he could be available, would be a very good option. Still young, we know he can be good and is still developing. Would get far more game time with us, would have been win win, but I guess he sees it as a backwards step and isn't interested.

Could see him going on to big things. Can say from seeing him first-hand (media work with SUFC) that he's a great young keeper with added confidence, he'll go a long way. A pretty good character too and very well-grounded. Had a lot of scouts down at Roots Hall to watch him over the past 12 months.

I suppose at his age he needs to continue playing first team football. Would be a great addition to our squad and can always loan him out for a couple of years to continue his development. With Forsters injury being potentially career threatening, I think this guy has what it take to replace him in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
