SNSUN Posted 24 June, 2016 Share Posted 24 June, 2016 https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/1332438/southampton-target-michael-mcgovern-as-back-up-to-first-choice-goalkeeper-fraser-forster/ He's played well, but even Kelvin had some outstanding performances. Is he really the man to step in if Fraser gets injured? Stekelenberg is not a good as Fraser, but has played at the top level a long time, and would be the better back up - but I'm assuming this link hints at Stek not staying on?

SuperSAINT Posted 24 June, 2016 Share Posted 24 June, 2016 TIERNEY PENS NEW CELTIC DEAL Celtic have secured highly rated young left-back Kieran Tierney on a five-year contract, the Scottish champions have announced. The likes of Liverpool and Arsenal had been linked with the 19-year-old after his extraordinary breakthrough season in the Celtic first team. But new manager Brendan Rodgers has moved quickly to tie the Scotland international to a longer deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goatboy Posted 24 June, 2016 Share Posted 24 June, 2016 likewise. I've not seen a lot of him, but whenever I have he's looked handy. Is he better than we have? Tough to sign players at this upper level without spending a small fortune, but there are gems out there that just stare you in the face. Maybe he is one of those?

tajjuk Posted 24 June, 2016 Share Posted 24 June, 2016 We dont need Joe Allen, he's no better than what we have and no different either, basically he's another Clasie/JWP. We need a Wanyama replacement. Also if we lose Mane and take a Liverpool reject I think we can forget any talk of 'ambition' because that is clearly not showing it. Not that I think Allen is a particularly bad player, just don't think he improves our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimatt Posted 24 June, 2016 Share Posted 24 June, 2016 Joe Allen is much better than Clasie and Ward-Prowse. He's never been a regular at Liverpool, wouldn't want him to become 1st team here.

Saint Pete Posted 25 June, 2016 Share Posted 25 June, 2016 Joe Allen seems a decent player, but very arguable whether he is any/much better than Clasie or Ward-Prowse. We should be focussing on gettting a different type of midfielder, with the strength and stature to replace Big Vic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 25 June, 2016 Share Posted 25 June, 2016 Joe Allen is much better than Clasie and Ward-Prowse. He really isn't. He made 19 appearances in the league for Liverpool last year, 11 of which were from the bench, in a team that finished 8th. Would you be happy with us buying a back up midfielder from Stoke? That Liverpool team is not that good and he couldn't regularly get in it. Why would you think he would improve our team? Clasie is a better and that's a player who was in his first season in the Prem, I reckon he'll be even better this year. In 4 years at Liverpool the most appearances he's made in the league are 27 and that was his first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
