Saint IQ Posted 18 January, 2016 Share Posted 18 January, 2016 Jenkinson started well at the west ham last season but recently hasn't been good and think fans want him replaced. Could see Bryam choosing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 19 January, 2016 Share Posted 19 January, 2016 Now we have Austin, I'm pretty happy with the squad. I do feel that we lack a bit of creativity and goals in midfield, but January isn't the time to sort it. I see teams below us spending big (relatively) on players that really might fluff it. Newcastle is going about things differently and spending big on known quantities. £12m already, and maybe £30m+ on Townsend and Berahino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 19 January, 2016 Share Posted 19 January, 2016 why? how come january is the time to sort out our lack of goals this season but NOT to sort creativity in midfield.? He probably means that that would take an awful lot of money and you can probably find more choice and thus more value in the market in the summer. I'm inclined to agree.

angelman Posted 19 January, 2016 Share Posted 19 January, 2016 Spot on Hypo. Unless you can get a good deal like Austin (and he is presumably a good deal because it steals a march on our opponents, and £4m is these days not very much and but 2 or 3 times a loan fee for half a season) which are as rare as rocking horse poop, it is a time for desperate signings. And one might look at it as Austin not being good value, seeing as he would be free at the end of season For the record I don't think that, and he is only a wee bit more than we sold Cork for at the same stage, although I realise they were different situations (strikers premium, Championship players, etc etc). Tell me though, apart from Austin, who would you consider to be a good valued signing in the January window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 19 January, 2016 Share Posted 19 January, 2016 Would quite like another wide player, but the club might decide that if we're going to play 5-2-2-1 then we don't need the wide player, and Targett can fill in there with Cedric on the other side. Think it would be a shame to lose Bertrand's attacking ability down the wing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 19 January, 2016 Share Posted 19 January, 2016 Think it would be a shame to lose Bertrand's attacking ability down the wing though. Crikey, I'd not really thought about losing Bertrand in the summer. At the start of this season, on my geeky Saints excel file, I'd penned in that we would likely lose Wanyama & Mane. Seems to be enough steam building up that Pelle is likely too... We don't want to be losing any-more than that, surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintTex Posted 19 January, 2016 Share Posted 19 January, 2016 Thommo is right - Long's goalscoring inconsistency is there for all to see: * 15 goals in 58 games for Southampton (One every 208 minutes). The last thing Liverpool need is another allegedly attacking player who fails to score/create goals on a regular basis. Long - 1 every 208 minutes Liverpool's top 5 scorers last season. Gerrard - 1 every 248 minutes Sterling - 1 every 436 minutes Henderson - 1 every 542 minutes Lallana - 1 every 358 minutes Coutinho - 1 every 560 minutes Liverpool's top 5 scorers this season. Benteke - 1 every 195 minutes Coutinho - 1 every 284 minutes Firmino - 1 every 355 minutes Milner - 1 every 740 minutes Ings - 1 every 157 minutes Those arrogant bastards could do well with a 1 in every 208 minutes player.
