Saints Transfers Thread - Deadline Day


Saint Charlie

Recommended Posts

Rubbish mate. I think must fans been v happy with ranieri. Puel isn't same class.

 

This post made me go and have a look at the thread on the Leicester forum when Ranieri was appointed.

 

There was mixed reaction. Some were happy, some weren't.

 

I did like this post though: He doesn't have to win the league, just keep us out of trouble.

To be fair, Ranieri following Koeman isn't the same proposition as following Pearson. Pearson had lost the plot at that time, and they were glad to get rid of him. Remember his rants at the media. (And who could forget the Thai hookers)

The new signing is Chadli.

 

I would love if that was true, I've been advocating Chadli for a year. A goal scoring midfielder. They exist. And he's entering his prime. But for £20 million, which Spurs want, there is better value out there surely?

Man u are going to tear us apart

Defensively they aren't all that and can be got at... but Ibra is bloody dangerous just by himself and has looked really good with the link up play as well with his gangly flicks and tricks. We'll see what we are really made of.

 

If Man Utd got Fonte I reckon the league title would become realistic for them, at the moment other teams with better defences will beat them to it imo.

Still think we have a big Wanyama sized hole in our midfield. Romeu is a good squad player but just not good enough IMO.

 

Basically haven't replaced Mane, Wanyama and Pelle, not with the same quality. Hojberg certainly looks like he adds something, probably what we lost with Morgan, that box to box midfielder.

Pelle was replaced by Austin.

Wanyama was replaced by Romeu.

Schneiderlin was replaced by Hojbjerg.

Mane hasn't been replaced yet.

 

Not that bad if you ask me, only significant downgrade is Wanyama to Romeu, which I agree is a bit of a concern.

 

which means the squad is weaker than a few months ago....

 

I think we will bring 1 more in anyhow

Mane replaced Jrod while out injured. If (and that might be a big if) JRod comes back to what he was before his injury, then we will be better off. Remember, Spurs wanting to sign him for £15m (back in the days when £15m bought you something rather better than it does today).

Not particularly, considering..

 

Juanmi was replaced by Redmond.

Stekelenburg was replaced by McCarthy.

Martina was replaced by Pied.

 

Three significant improvements wouldn't you say? If we do bring in a top CAM/LM to replace Mane then our squad will be better in my opinion, especially if Rodriguez comes back into things as a squad player too.

well, we dont have Pelle and Austin together

same with Vic and Rom

They both came into their own last season at points.

 

so yeah.

 

like I said, think we will bring one in before the end of the month

Juanmi = replaced by Redmond

Wanyama =

Mane =

Pelle =

Gaston =

Stekelenburg = replaced by McCarthy

Davis, Britt, Gazzaniga = don't need to be replaced.

 

Pied and Hojbjerg additional signings.

 

Therefore we need to replace 4 players even before/if fonte leaves, and if Gardos is injured long term we need further strengthening there.

Juanmi replaced by Redmond?? Give over. I'm backing Hesketh to have a least as much impact as Juanmi.

I don't get the Austin replaced Pelle bit..at the end of last season we had both so the squad was stronger then. Now we don't have both it is weaker. Doesn't matter if we planned it that way -the squad would still be stronger if we had both (which is what we had for 6 months).

Well, Hesketh can't possibly make any less of an impact than Juanmi.

 

Really though, in addition to this mystery left sided attacking player being talked about we need a player to play in front of the back 4 if Puel is going to play Hojbjerg in a more advanced role. Romeu is a good squad player, but not good enough to be relied on as a starter.

We got Austin because he was available at a knock down fee and QPR didn't want to lose him for free. We don't really have room for both in the squad. If we are bringing in another tracker, Mané's replacement if you will, assuming he starts that's Austin, J Rod, Redmond and probably JWP all on the bench. We don't have room for another, when you consider our stated aims is to give more game time to players like Hesketh, Gallagher, Seager and a couple of others.

Unfortunately, Rodriguez isn't even worth a place on the bench these days and Ward-Prowse has no business starting games. In my opinion.

Austin doesn't really replace Pelle because he's not the same sort of player, he can't bully defences and give us that out ball that we had last year. Plus as mentioned we had both for 6 months last season.

 

We also Romeu and Wanyama at the same time, Romeu is not Wanyama quality, that physical presence in midfield is clearly lacking.

 

Plus you saw today what we lost in Mane.

 

Still 3 gaps IMO that need replacing if the squad is supposed to be better than last year.

Been having a think about who could fit the bill of the description one of the supposed ITKs gave a few pages back. I am not for one moment suggesting this should be the player we go for, mainly because I have no idea if he's any good, but Kostas Mitroglou fits the bill in many ways - appeared briefly in England after a good early career, went off the radar and had a bit of a "waste of money" tag, last season scored quite a few goals for Benfica, is left footed and can play either as a striker or a support striker. Also 28, a bit younger than Pelle.

 

Only thing is I haven't seen him mentioned and the ITK said he had been. Also, surely wouldn't be a club record transfer...?

 

Anyway, just a suggestion.

Bolasie to Everton. Us? We are so strong we need no reinforcements. No sir.

Strange you think that really. I'd say all fans and the management of the club would disagree with you.

 

Still, all about opinions.
