eddie Posted 30 September, 2015 Share Posted 30 September, 2015 Forum gold, one man comparing another man's (hypothetical) choices of players to buy and sell on a fans' forum chat site to a computer simulation game. the OP did say "realistic" granted it's all the realm of fantasy and speculation anyway, but my point was it's not realistic to assume the club will get rid of anyone after 5 or so months, and especially seeing as a few of those we've paid >5m for. Giving a chance to players, come hell or high water and no matter whether it's a good or bad call, is too much of a fundamental principle at the club.

david in sweden Posted 30 September, 2015 Share Posted 30 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! that phrase (though correct) could be applied to quite a few already on the books. What we need is someone who can come into the side and hit the ground running, and not have to wait till the middle of next season to get a regular first team place.

Ewell Posted 30 September, 2015 Share Posted 30 September, 2015 Sam Byram I'd agree with someone like Byram a young British full back with very good potential to compete with Soares in the same bracket as when we signed Nathaniel Clyne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Saint Posted 30 September, 2015 Share Posted 30 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. Don't worry, we bought Martina as well........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted 30 September, 2015 Share Posted 30 September, 2015 Jake Jervis from Plymouth. 24 years old Forward, 6ft 3" great athlete and pacy too. Would learn a lot from being in the squad but already has got a lot of experience at lower league level. Would cost little but if you want a big back up for Pelle but with more pace and at almost zero cost and upward potential he's possibly your man. I watched him recently and hes a better standard than the league he is in in my opinion and could play Championship right now with the right coaching and team. Certainly physically hes got everything and knows where the goals are. Someone will buy him soon and he could be big in the next 2-3 years. Perhaps that someone should be Saints, we missed out on getting Bolasie who was obviously a very good player the season we got promoted at Plymouth and he even scored that consolation goal against us impressed me on the day a lot...well this guy with the alliterative name straight out of Roy of the Rovers is their latest good 'un i reckon... ..

pimpin4rizeal Posted 30 September, 2015 Share Posted 30 September, 2015 Ever banega would be a good shout in my opinion would add the creativity we lack at times and can either play in the number ten role or a more central midfield role which would suit us more maybe, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellman Posted 30 September, 2015 Share Posted 30 September, 2015 We don't need new buys, they will just hold back our young hopefuls, we need to get Big Vic and Mane to sign new contracts, the squad is strong enough (first time I've ever felt that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted 30 September, 2015 Share Posted 30 September, 2015 I keep thinking we really need a No.10...that position just behind Pelle doesn't seem to have anyone who's a natural fit (apart from Ramirez...but let's not reopen that can of worms).

Unless we have a big injury (where a loan would come in useful) I don't think it's worth paying an inflated January fee. We'll have some work to do next summer though.

Marsdinho Posted 1 October, 2015 Share Posted 1 October, 2015 Talisca - think we were linked to him at some point, or have at least watched him a few times. http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/southampton-on-sunday-transfer-mission-for-chelsea-target (2014) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli Posted 1 October, 2015 Share Posted 1 October, 2015 Decent right back. Maybe Janmaat. Didn't I read somewhere that Cedric was one of the best performers in the whole of the Premier League this year? Mane and Cedric both made the 11.

Mowgli Posted 1 October, 2015 Share Posted 1 October, 2015 what do your eyes tell you? I was surprised to see him in that list but he does get better every time I see him. RK seemed to sum it up - great going forward but defensively, Yoshida is a better option. Incidentally, before I saw any of the new signings play Juanmi was the one that got the pulse racing. Worth watching this one as RK says he taking a while to get used to the Premier league. Still hoping he will eventually emerge as a world class player.

Latheal Posted 1 October, 2015 Share Posted 1 October, 2015 what do your eyes tell you? That he was poor against Newcastle away but set up a goal and was exposed by our tactics. Was poor against a very good Everton side where everybody was awful and the tactics/formation was wrong. Helped to keep a clean sheet against Watford. Helped to keep a clean sheet against Norwich. Helped to keep a clean sheet again WBA away. Helped to keep a clean sheet against MK Dons away - set up a couple as well I think. Did excellently against Montero in second half against Swansea and wasn't at fault for the goal we conceded. I think he's fine and improving. If you do a Squawka comparison with Clyne, he's well ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ART Posted 2 October, 2015 Share Posted 2 October, 2015 Arsenal's French international right back Mathieu Debuchy seems to want a move in January as he's not getting games since return from injury. Being 30 years old hi experience and age would be ideal to allow development time for younger options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 4 October, 2015 Share Posted 4 October, 2015 Have we found a Sadio Mane replacement? Being linked with El Ghazi! Anyways- let's focus on Mane whilst we have him. Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
