S-Clarke Posted 3 July, 2017 Share Posted 3 July, 2017 West Ham being linked with a £15m bid for Andre Gray (don't they get linked with every striker?). Last year of his contract. Maybe we could use the JRod money to make a bid? That would be good business. Suppose depends on how we plan to to integrate Gallagher into the squad. Seriously, is there a striker they aren't linked with? Their stick their finger in the air and pick a striker approach didn't work last year, doubt it will work this year either.

Legs are gone at the top level, hence why he's now playing in the NPC. well, it's only my opinion, obviously, but I think given that we're almost certainly losing VVD (come on, people), then his experience might have been useful in helping Stephens emerge as a really good CB, and could have deputised for Yoshida. And would also probably shout at Fraser to do his job properly, which would be nice. PS NPC is much more physical.

The NPC might have more burly target men, don't see why Terry would struggle against those. It is a much slower league though, not just the players but in how quickly the ball is moved. It will suit him better now that his legs have gone at this level. No way is he good enough for us, in fact he hasn't been for a couple of years.

Why are so many of the suggestions on here domestic based players? I know that it's what people watch but surely most of you know that we will mostly be buying abroad, it's what we have done since promotion and will do even more now that the tv deal has hugely inflated domestic transfer fees.

Donatello Posted 3 July, 2017 Share Posted 3 July, 2017 (edited) 'almost certainly' versus 'definitely won't be'. yes, absolutely equal propositions I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that his chances of leaving have been steadily decreasing since the tapping up issue Chelsea have seemingly gone elsewhere. Liverpool are the 'only' interested party, and I'm sure the club are only too aware of the sentiment they would likely be on the receiving end of if they sanctioned that. Not to mention Liverpool are linked with 70m Keita - I don't think it's feasible that they're going to shift 130m+ on two players (which is what they'd be looking at). I'm certainly more positive about it than I was 3/4 months ago...but then we all interpret news differently, I guess.

I hope he likes the look of the Mauricio and that might persuade him to stay one more year. I just worry about those last minute big bucks offers, our new structure's ability to resist, and him wriggling out. also, about not having a back up in place.

SuperSAINT Posted 3 July, 2017 Share Posted 3 July, 2017 KONGOLO JOINS FEYENOORD Monaco have signed Holland defender Terence Kongolo from Feyenoord on a five-year deal. The 23-year-old made 23 Eredivisie appearances last season as Feyenoord claimed the title for the first time in 18 years. Ligue 1 champions Monaco have reportedly paid £11.41m for Kongolo, who can operate at left-back or in central defence. He told the club's official website: "I am very pleased to join AS Monaco. I will discover an exciting new challenge at a prestigious and ambitious club. I look forward to meeting the staff, my new team-mates and doing the best on the field to help the group."

Cartman Posted 3 July, 2017 Share Posted 3 July, 2017 Greek wundakid: http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/southampton/news/45925/ Wanted him before we signed Bednarek, going to be the absolute nuts. Worth baring in mind that Yoshi has only 1 year left and there is no sign of a new contract. Best part about it (apart from getting a potential superstar CB of course) is that it would be the ultimate troll on Liverpool, getting rid of all the CBs we had 1 year ago except the one they want.
