Batman Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 SOURCE?????!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! (as you used to say to me)
VectisSaint Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 Former Leeds favourite could be on his way here. Source? Must admit seems unlikely, and not particularly exciting prospect though he has done reasonably well at St Etienne. Would help the HG quota for PL and EL (home trained as well).
trousers Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 Source? http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/southampton-bournemouth-battle-for-saint-etienne-winger-max-gradel-4084569 ?
Matthew Le God Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 Must admit seems unlikely, and not particularly exciting prospect He scored 17 goals in 31 league games last season as a winger, so must be doing something right. Towards the top of the 2014/15 Ligue 1 goalscoring charts... Ibrahimovic 19 goals Cavani 18 goals Gradel 17 goals

Given he used to play for them, I would guess they might be favourites. 7m is a bit of a stretch, better than Elia, who knows.

Towards the top of the 2014/15 Ligue 1 goalscoring charts... Ibrahimovic 19 goals Cavani 18 goals Gradel 17 goals Odd that he suddenly scored a lot last season, when the previous 3 seasons he managed 6, 3 and 5 respectively. Maybe he would be good, as I said probably a better bet that Elia.
VectisSaint Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 Well, if you hadn't omitted part of what I said from the quote you might not have such a problem understanding, t**t
sadoldgit Posted 2 July, 2015 Author Posted 2 July, 2015 SOURCE?????!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! (as you used to say to me) HITC Sport but it is elsewhere too.
SuperSAINT Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 HITC Sport but it is elsewhere too. The Gradel link has been around since around May, I believe.
Matthew Le God Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 (edited) He scored 17 goals in 31 league games last season as a winger, so must be doing something right. Towards the top of the 2014/15 Ligue 1 goalscoring charts... Ibrahimovic 19 goals Cavani 18 goals Gradel 17 goals Odd that he suddenly scored a lot last season, when the previous 3 seasons he managed 6, 3 and 5 respectively. Perhaps at 27 years old he has finally matured and realised what he has to do to be successful with his attributes. I remember Gradel having hissy fits at St Mary's on the opening day of the 2011/12 Championship season when things weren't going his way. Edited 2 July, 2015 by Matthew Le God
Shance Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 I like Gradel. Looked decent at Leeds. Seems to have matured somewhat. Was a tosser at st Mary's in our first game back in the championship.
ericofarabia Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 Former Leeds favourite could be on his way here. Is he Dutch? Has he ever played under Koeman? Are Spurs/Liverpool trying to buy him? I think the answer is no to all these so it must be a lie!!
Niemster Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 He is St. Etienne's penalty taker now which would explain the goals. Not sure he is an upgrade on what we had in Elia frankly.
a1ex2001 Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 Not convinced on Max looked brilliant when he first broke through but went badly off the boil and has a questionable attitude.
Colinjb Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 Not convinced on Elia looked brilliant when he first broke through but went badly off the boil and has a questionable attitude. Seems familiar somehow.
dello Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 saw a bit of him playing for leicester- never rated him.... not good enough for us and can't see it happening...
eelpie Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 saw a bit of him playing for leicester- never rated him.... not good enough for us and can't see it happening... Which bit of him did you see?
Wade Garrett Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 I really don't think that's a position we particularly need to strengthen. Much more pressing needs - Toby and Charlie Austin will do for me.
Nolan Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 13 goals in his last 12 games looking at the stats. he was on fire after he picked up the African cup of Nations winners medal.
Lighthouse Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 13 goals in his last 12 games looking at the stats. he was on fire after he picked up the African cup of Nations winners medal. 4 penalties in that lot FWIW but still that's blistering form. I'm not so sure personally. Before the ACON he hadn't done anything spectacular in France and wasn't really anything special at Leeds.
Saint86 Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 Odd that he suddenly scored a lot last season, when the previous 3 seasons he managed 6, 3 and 5 respectively. Maybe he would be good, as I said probably a better bet that Elia. Harry kane?
VectisSaint Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 Harry kane? Kane is 21, there's an obvious reason why he has improved, Gradel will be 28 this year.
Saint Billy Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 Bournemouth bound from what I've read, as long as he doesn't cost more than 5 mill., a decent signing for them if it comes off.
Saints foreva Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 Bournemouth bound from what I've read, as long as he doesn't cost more than 5 mill., a decent signing for them if it comes off. His club want £10m apparently. One of his many hissy fits at SMS on that video.
Redslo Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 Counts as home grown Good shout! For European purposes he would only count as association trained so his home grown status is not that helpful.
Appy Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 His club want £10m apparently. One of his many hissy fits at SMS on that video. Never a penalty there either.
Give it to Ron Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 10m in today's market doesn't sound too bad So why does everyone have kittens and constantly whinge about 12m for a proven international we signed tgen?
Toadhall Saint Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 So why does everyone have kittens and constantly whinge about 12m for a proven international we signed tgen? Because they look at their own wealth as a comparison.
bilbot79 Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 I'm tired of getting linked to big players and then nothing happening
SarniaSaint Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 Will never happen......... #1 - he's crap #2 - we don't need a player in that position #3 - just my opinion
Badger Posted 2 July, 2015 Posted 2 July, 2015 I think I'd prefer Dany N'Guessan. ..or Jonno Quick even Will never happen......... #1 - he's crap #2 - we don't need a player in that position #3 - just my opinion #4 - no, its an opinion shared by most on here
Dark Munster Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 He's crap. Give me slightly lesser crap every day of the week, Corrected for you.
sadoldgit Posted 3 July, 2015 Author Posted 3 July, 2015 Shane Long and Max Gradel for over £20mill. Chambers and Lovren for £36m!

John Boy Saint Posted 17 August, 2017 Posted 17 August, 2017 MUST read the dates on some of these bumped threads.................... Started at the beginning and quickly developed deja vu!
