ally_uk Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 You have been given the green-light to bring in one more player obviously keep the signing realistic who would you add? Me Personally I would go for Charlie Austin Reasons: more firepower up top has a record of scoring in the Prem and takes the pressure off Pelle..... Who would you boys buy?
sadoldgit Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 Not sure how he would take the pressure off Pelle. I am sure he wouldn't fancy sitting on the bench unless you would play them together?

ally_uk Posted 29 September, 2015 Author Posted 29 September, 2015 I was thinking more of rotating Austin with Pelle, take last season for example we relied on Pelle to much and he took a massive dip in form..

I think that is a problem though, I cant see either wanting to be rotated. Didn't Austin say he expected to start every week?
Batman Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 most definitely bring in a striker to compete with pelle
Pastor Patrón Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 Austin would be my number one choice, but since everyone else has already said him I'll go for Calum Chambers.
SaintTex Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 I know what we don't need....two disgruntled strikers because they are being rotated game to game. but to answer the question. We need a offensive minded midfielder who can distribute and put the ball in the back of the net every now and then. (Maybe that will be Clasie, that remains to be seen.) as far as who is realistically available to sign to fill that role, no idea.
Saint Billy Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 I agree that we need a little bit of Charlie.
Village Saint Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 You have been given the green-light to bring in one more player obviously keep the signing realistic who would you add? Me Personally I would go for Charlie Austin Reasons: more firepower up top has a record of scoring in the Prem and takes the pressure off Pelle..... Who would you boys buy? Almost anyone but Charlie Austin. Can't see how he would add anything at all useful to our squad. Given the likelihood of injury and suspension I would be inclined to get in a third defensive midfield rock who can play a bit to provide cover/alternatives to Romeu and Wanyama. No-one immediately springs to mind but I imagine Reed and Co have targets.

Lighthouse Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 We have enough strikers. Pelle, J Rod and even Long can all play up top and 2 of them are on the bench already. RB seems to be our weakest position at the moment, although I don't know who I'd go for specifically.
Avenue Saint Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 2x players. A rightback and Charlie Austin

SNSUN Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 Nathan Redmond. Weaken them, strengthen us, **** off my wife. It's win/win.
Mr Biscuits Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 No one. Players are over priced in January. Would like the club to concentrate on keeping the players we have
Jonnyboy Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 Nathan Redmond. Weaken them, strengthen us, **** off my wife. It's win/win. This.
Gemmel Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 There is a reason why nobody has signed Chalie Austin and it's not on ability. The West Ham comments, seem to have some credibility. If you can't insure him, you can't pay the perecived asking price, or the wages. Cr@p situation for everyone. Fuller made the most of it, so no reason why Austin can't, but he's more valuable to QPR than a poultry transfer fee, so i can understand why they won't sell him.

Baird of the land Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 Personally hope we steer clear of Austin. If we looking for like for like competition for pelle on the cheap I'd suggest lafferty on loan from Norwich. Obviously if soares carries on struggling right back might be a priority. Redmond is certainly someone I'd like to see at saints. Disappointed all the previous linkage to him when they were in the championship came to nothing. Would cost a fortune in January though. Best wait till the summer when hopefully they will have been relegated.
CB Saint Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 A right back, any right back, I'd even stretch to someone with the initials RB. Can't do any worse than what we have.
SNSUN Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 A right back, any right back, I'd even stretch to someone with the initials RB. Can't do any worse than what we have. We have a full back with the initials RB. I reckon we should sign him and play him on the right. Playing full backs on the wrong side is good enough for Chelsea...
UpweySaint Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 Setting up future deals for Byram and Mowatt would be great in much the same way Newcastle were able to do for Darlow and Lascellas.
eelpie Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 I think that is a problem though, I cant see either wanting to be rotated. Didn't Austin say he expected to start every week? That could be one of the reasons a top Prem club didn't buy him
nta786 Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 A goalkeeper- knowing our luck Steklenburg will get injured. As for who? That's the black box job- not mine lol
simo Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 Bas Dost with Vw now tightening the purse strings I can see a decent bid getting him !
the saint in winchester Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 A goalkeeper- knowing our luck Steklenburg will get injured. As for who? That's the black box job- not mine lol Buffon says he wants a crack in the Premier League before he calls it a day. Sorted.
saintgeorge8 Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 Hakim Ziyech Not a bad shout, technically good player in the Eredivisie, makes and scores a couple from midfield and especially with Twente being in a bit of finical difficulty (well at least they were last season), we might be in with a bloody good chance.
saintgeorge8 Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 Apparently we've had scouts watching El Ghazi, like a few other Premier League clubs. He's scored 7 in 7 in the Eredivisie for Ajax this season and got an assist as well. He's still only 20, so there is huge potential in the lad and it could be a very sharp move!
Jack Posted 30 September, 2015 Posted 30 September, 2015 Would take a punt on Kyle Walker. No thanks. One of the least intelligent footballers I've watched. His pace gets him out of trouble a lot of the time but that won't last forever. He looks ok going forward, usually until he tries to put the ball in the box, and defensively he's a liability IMO. Reckless in the challenge. Anyway, he gets a bit of game time for Spurs which can only be good for everyone else, and I'm sure they wouldn't be interested in selling anyone to us.
doddisalegend Posted 30 September, 2015 Posted 30 September, 2015 Decent right back. Maybe Janmaat. serious? I 'd say Cedric is way better than Janmaat.
Give it to Ron Posted 30 September, 2015 Posted 30 September, 2015 Sam Byram Why he can't even get in the team at the moment??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Evil Monkey Posted 30 September, 2015 Posted 30 September, 2015 Nick Blackman at Reading has impressed me so far this season. Fast and skilful winger, but he's also well built. 6 goals and 2 assists already this season. 25 yo though so maybe not that young anymore.
Verbal Posted 30 September, 2015 Posted 30 September, 2015 Nathan Redmond. Weaken them, strengthen us, **** off my wife. It's win/win. Especially if your wife is Dalek, which I assume to be the case.
Toomer Posted 30 September, 2015 Posted 30 September, 2015 As a few have already said a right back would be my choice to bring in and there are a couple of players we brought in during the summer I would look to offload as well.
eddie Posted 30 September, 2015 Posted 30 September, 2015 As a few have already said a right back would be my choice to bring in and there are a couple of players we brought in during the summer I would look to offload as well. ...what? this just isn't ever going to happen. who on earth would you suggest? Martina? Juanmi? The first I want to at least see what he can do (he's already a lot better than he ever looked at twente - which granted isn't difficult and he's still very average) given a few months (same goes for Caulker), and the second will develop over time, looking decent for U21s but probably not 100% up to playing in the league every week. You're approaching this like it's a game of FIFA where you can just sell and buy like its the easiest thing in the world
sadoldgit Posted 30 September, 2015 Posted 30 September, 2015 how come we can have about 6 midfielders and that is 'good' compeition but someone so take on Pelle's slot, is bad? Midfielders cover a lot more ground. Games are won and lost in midfield and you need more options. We showed against MK Dons that we have choices up front. I also don't see us paying Austin £75k a week. Bit worried about Cedric so would see how he gets on and maybe go for another RB as said above.

I think cedric will have the slot for this season. however, if he does not show much improvement, can definitely see saints going after someone better

david in sweden Posted 30 September, 2015 Posted 30 September, 2015 most definitely bring in a striker to compete with Pelle ....we have one ...his name is Jay Rodriguez....let's face it, we won't want to drop Mané.....
