Badger Posted 14 May, 2017 Posted 14 May, 2017 Hasn't worked out at stoke, with Hughes hinting at a sale... I reckon a cut price IMBULA would be a great signing for us. If we can get s big name like Krychowiak or Carvalho, wouldn't be disapointed with this. Big, strong and quality in distribution. Romeu-IMBULA would make such a difference to Our team and play Wasn't Imbula linked with us before ? Possibly in 2015. Since we were linked with him he's failed to settle at both Porto and Stoke.Not sure he's a risk worth taking.
Lighthouse Posted 14 May, 2017 Posted 14 May, 2017 And Stoke. And Palace. But no doubt we won't make it to mid June before the forum intelligentsia start openly weeping about how, yet again, those three clubs are going to leave us behind. Just like last June. And the one before that. Shaqiri. They signed Shaqiri etc etc etc. My favourite was when Norwich 'won' the transfer window.... .... .... then got relegated.
Dazza82 Posted 14 May, 2017 Posted 14 May, 2017 Having looked at the table and fixtures, a Spurs win on Thursday against Leicester would mean a guarenteed top 10 finish for us, as Leicester then play Bournmouth on the last day and if they've lost to Spurs, both couldn't then overtake us. Don't lose to Utd and beat Stoke should see us finish 8th. Who would of took that and a cup final at the start of the season Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Batman Posted 14 May, 2017 Posted 14 May, 2017 Fa cup was an easier run if I recall. Still lost both League cup final losers like Sunderland and Bradford.
Saint Albert Posted 14 May, 2017 Posted 14 May, 2017 Fa cup was an easier run if I recall. I remember thinking that we got lucky with the draw at the time. Saints went through Spurs, Millwall, Norwich and L1 Watford on the way to the final.
OldNick Posted 14 May, 2017 Posted 14 May, 2017 Still lost both League cup final losers like Sunderland and Bradford.yeah shame we didnt play weakened sides in the tournament sooner so we didn't have the day at Wembley
OldNick Posted 14 May, 2017 Posted 14 May, 2017 I remember thinking that we got lucky with the draw at the time. Saints went through Spurs, Millwall, Norwich and L1 Watford on the way to the final.we were very lucky to draw with Millwall
Causer Posted 14 May, 2017 Posted 14 May, 2017 Watching Fulham a few times this season, been very impressed by Tom Cairney, Lovely range of passing, impressive at running with the ball and a cracking long shot on him.
Heisenberg Posted 14 May, 2017 Posted 14 May, 2017 Still lost both League cup final losers like Sunderland and Bradford. Since reaching an EFL cup final seems to be equivalent to winning the champions league for little plucky saints perhaps we can consider one of the other managers with an EFL or FA cup runners up medal? Phil Parkinson Gus Poyet Alan Pardew Tim Sherwood Steve Bruce Roberto Martinez Tony Pulis Malky Mackay Alex McLeish An elite list of nearly men
Convict Colony Posted 15 May, 2017 Posted 15 May, 2017 Klassen has just scored his 14th goal from midfield, I get what you are saying but he would offer something we currently don't have from our midfield a goal threat. Koeman finding him an "interesting" player. https://www.ajaxshowtime.com/article/bijzaken-en-geruchten/104794/koeman-noemt-klaassen-interessante-speler

Roo1976 Posted 15 May, 2017 Posted 15 May, 2017 Dominic Solanke ,Chelsea seem unable to give him a birth in the team and i think hes available at the end of the season anyone know anything about him and would he benifit for playing for us asssuming hes upto the task,thoughts?
Foxstone Posted 15 May, 2017 Posted 15 May, 2017 http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/05/13/exclusive-southampton-tables-loan-offer-for-manchester-city-kelechi-iheanacho/ Would be happy with that. Definitely - Very impressive lad. When we thrashed MCFC at home last season, he was their only player who gave us any problems that day.
DT Posted 15 May, 2017 Posted 15 May, 2017 Definitely - Very impressive lad. When we thrashed MCFC at home last season, he was their only player who gave us any problems that day. Can't help but read that piece and think it might be part of a VVD deal. Hope not
mrfahaji Posted 15 May, 2017 Posted 15 May, 2017 I remember thinking that we got lucky with the draw at the time. Saints went through Spurs, Millwall, Norwich and L1 Watford on the way to the final. It was an easy draw, but Watford weren't League 1, they were Championship.
Whitey Grandad Posted 15 May, 2017 Posted 15 May, 2017 It was an easy draw, but Watford weren't League 1, they were Championship. They were at that time. The Championship didn't start until 2004/2005 season. I still call them divisions 1 to 4
Foxstone Posted 15 May, 2017 Posted 15 May, 2017 A seemingly genuine link: Cenk Tosun, Besiktas striker. http://m.fotomac.com.tr/besiktas/2017/05/13/cenk-tosun-48-milyon-tl I recall him getting game time for Turkey at last years Euro's , but I cannot really remember him ! probably more impressed by Turan and Mor at the time..
ally_uk Posted 15 May, 2017 Posted 15 May, 2017 Ziyech is class should of signed him instead of Boufal......
the french scout Posted 15 May, 2017 Posted 15 May, 2017 Another rumor about a Ligue 1 player : https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3386425/southampton-eye-toulouse-star-christopher-jullien-as-a-replacement-for-skipper-virgil-van-dijk/ Well, he's obviously not as good as VVD, but this guy impressed everybody for his first Ligue 1 season. He's physically impressive (1.96m, 86kg), he's almost impassable and can score (4 goals in Ligue 1 this season, 9 in Ligue 2 the previous one). Only 3 central defenders have a better rating than him on whoscored this season in Ligue 1 : Loïc Perrin, Thiago Silva and Paul Baysse (who will leave Nice...).
Saint_lambden Posted 15 May, 2017 Posted 15 May, 2017 Seb Haller, who we were linked with in January/the summer, has just signed for Eintracht Frankfurt.

SuperSAINT Posted 15 May, 2017 Posted 15 May, 2017 Seb Haller, who we were linked with in January/the summer, has just signed for Eintracht Frankfurt. he had another good season at Utretcht He's got a combination of skills that mean he should be able to take on his form into Germany, IMO.
shurlock Posted 15 May, 2017 Posted 15 May, 2017 Seb Haller, who we were linked with in January/the summer, has just signed for Eintracht Frankfurt. According to AR-10 aka Jack Schitt, we showed him around Staplewood last summer.

If thats true, its equal with £12m for VVD/Alderweireld as an absolute steal! Ludicrous price for such a talent.

nta786 Posted 15 May, 2017 Posted 15 May, 2017 Well it can't be us, we never do our business early... Redmond signed early. But yeah otherwise we deal late with our transfers
SW5 SAINT Posted 15 May, 2017 Posted 15 May, 2017 Well it can't be us, we never do our business early... Usually seem to sell early and buy late..........

If thats true, its equal with £12m for VVD/Alderweireld as an absolute steal! Ludicrous price for such a talent. If true, half of europe will want to buy him, so no chance he'll end up here. Atletico Madrid will need a new striker for a start, and he's absolutely a Dortmund style signing.
doddisalegend Posted 16 May, 2017 Posted 16 May, 2017 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4504120/Man-City-willing-sell-Iheanacho-amid-Dortmund-interest.html This says Iheanacho is available permanently for maybe £20m.

If Man City are letting him go and for what is now cheap in the world of ever increasingly mad transfer fees. He will have loads of teams after him probably several that will be far more attractive than saints if we are honest.

Yet bluemoon forum is speculating that a move to a team like Bournemouth would be perfect for his development. Young enough that the only thing he should be prioritising is game time in an environment that isn't too big and where he can become the main man.

We'll if he thinks like that happy days welcome to saints but a lot of young players don't seem to think like that do they? Just look at some of the players who left us young for bigger clubs when arguably regular playing time with saints might have been more beneficial to them in the long run. I guess it will come down to what offers he gets but I doubt he would pick us over say Dortmund.

percy windham Posted 16 May, 2017 Posted 16 May, 2017 Bizarre rumour, and one I don't believe, passed to me today by someone I work with who has a few connections. Apparently Pelle has been sounded out to make a return and he is keen.

Trout-Tickler Posted 17 May, 2017 Posted 17 May, 2017 Any chance we could buy a left foot for Redmond?
MarkSFC Posted 17 May, 2017 Posted 17 May, 2017 Or just sell him clueless. He will become a very decent player over the next two seasons.
saint1977 Posted 17 May, 2017 Posted 17 May, 2017 clueless. He will become a very decent player over the next two seasons. Would keep Redmond - aren't many young English players around with his attributes. In the right system - say a genuine 4-2-3-1 he'd be very effective, needs to work on his football awareness but hence £11m price.

He also needs to stop b*tching and moaning at everyone else - seemed to spend the whole second half whinging at Targett.
