kwsaint Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Anybody heard anything? I know that Saints keep deals quiet until they happen, but I haven't even heard any rumours. Any thoughts?
angelman Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 If Arsenal sign Cech, then Ospina is supposedly going to be the one getting the boot. Maybe a 1 year deal/loan??
Toadhall Saint Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 The burnley keeper is supposed to be a target for us - well was in one of papers recently
stevewanyamasfcs Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 I haven't heard anything but I see that Pepe Reina is going back to Napoli. Thought he'd have been worth a punt on loan with him being benched for Bayern the whole of last season.
Stu Man Do Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Seen us linked to Steklenberg (sp?) a fair bit. Alex Crook seems to think were after him but he's about as successful as a red paint salesman in Pompey when it comes to actually predicting our purchases.
Badger Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 (edited) The burnley keeper is supposed to be a target for us - well was in one of papers recently Yes, Heaton, was the last one linked with us. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-set-rival-southampton-5900526 Before that it was the Norwegian, Orjan Nyland. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/southamptons-transfer-molde-keeper-orjan-5626924 Both stories in The Mirror ! Suggests they're trying a shot gun approach of throwing out as many names to clubs as possible, in the hope that one or two are proved correct. Edited 21 June, 2015 by Badger
SuperSAINT Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 How's Marshall been playing for Cardiff? I thought last summer he was our alternate option for Forster.
Andy Durman Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Dave Watson will have a big say in which New Goalkeeper we bring in. It will be a goalkeeper he has previously worked with.
Joe Kirkup Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Probably the most difficult position to fill - someone who is good enough for PL until FF is back and who is then happy to sit on bench. There are plenty of PL second choice keepers but would they want to move to be second choice again? Not easy
Batman Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Probably the most difficult position to fill - someone who is good enough for PL until FF is back and who is then happy to sit on bench. There are plenty of PL second choice keepers but would they want to move to be second choice again? Not easy we should not be getting someone who is happy on the bench. I'd hope the cedric wont be too happy on the bench. I'd want someone to come in and back themselves to keep FF on the bench
irene Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 You don't need a keeper. Davis is fine till Forster gets back
the_emu Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 I have a sneaking suspicion we will just play Gazza with Davis as backup
Saints foreva Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 I have a sneaking suspicion we will just play Gazza with Davis as backup Nah, that would see us concede an awful lot of goals and Ronald knows that.
Appy Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 I have a sneaking suspicion we will just play Gazza with Davis as backup 0 chance.
DuncanRG Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Probably the most difficult position to fill - someone who is good enough for PL until FF is back and who is then happy to sit on bench. There are plenty of PL second choice keepers but would they want to move to be second choice again? Not easy There will be good keepers who see this as an opportunity to prove themselves in a stronger side and hold their place when Forster returns. Whether they would succeed remains to be seen!
Nolan Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Dave Watson will have a big say in which New Goalkeeper we bring in. It will be a goalkeeper he has previously worked with. Well he worked with Heaton about a fortnight ago.
Saint dyer Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 at the player awards, spoke to les reed for about 15 minutes. he said we would be looking at signing a keeper on loan. not a permanent
Badger Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Well he worked with Heaton about a fortnight ago. .. but 'tapping up' on international duty just aint saintly...
Badger Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Finish International GK Niemi Mk II ? That would be good. Trouble is though, with both Nyland, and the Finn ( presumably you mean, Hradecky mentioned on here previously), neither have played league football in a comparable league to judge how they might fare in England. But then again that is possibly what the Black Box is for ...
cellone Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 We're better with Irene in goal than Davis :-) Yes. Yes we are. Shame Irene did one a year ago but there you go.
SW5 SAINT Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 We're better with Irene in goal than Davis :-) Irene now plays for AFC Bournemouth.............
SW5 SAINT Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 Come on Irene, don't be silly. I'm sure Dexy's Midnight runners did a song about that................
The9 Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 K Billy mentioned Stekelenberg was "in town" yesterday...
ErwinK1961 Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 K Billy mentioned Stekelenberg was "in town" yesterday... I thought that was a no go due to wages? Maybe they've lowered their demands
Saint-Armstrong Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 I believe it's a case of Saint Stekelenburg, now.
ErwinK1961 Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 I believe it's a case of Saint Stekelenburg, now. Meh
Matthew Le God Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 (edited) I believe it's a case of Saint Stekelenburg, now. Meh He is a huge upgrade in quality on Davis and Gazzaniga. Forster is our long term keeper, we aren't going to sign someone that will stay number 1 when Forster is back. Stekelenburg should be of sufficient quality to be our keeper in the meantime.

Not exactly hard to be an upgrade on them though is it. Think we could do better than someone who has hardly played for a year and a half.

ErwinK1961 Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 Such as? I'd rather have Tom Heaton or Orjan Nyland. There is no guarantee that Forster will be back, and if he does who knows whether he will be at the same standard. Buying/loaning a stop gap shouldn't be our focus IMO.
Crab Lungs Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 (edited) who for? I do believe you owe me some ITK points, Batman... what did I tell ya? That'll be three on the trot... with another to follow hopefully! Edited 22 June, 2015 by Crab Lungs

hutch Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 I believe it's a case of Saint Stekelenburg, now. Is that a new Belgian lager from Lidl?

manji Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 As far as I can see Crab hasn't predicted a third signing. So what's he on about ?
Crab Lungs Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 As far as I can see Crab hasn't predicted a third signing. So what's he on about ? I had privately.
Crab Lungs Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 Back on form then crabbie? For some people, I never will be... Keeping my counsel atm, just stuff on PMs!
Redslo Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 For some people, I never will be... Keeping my counsel atm, just stuff on PMs! So you are publically willing to state that there are things that your are only willing to state privately but that they involve a third signing. Good enough for me.
