tajjuk Posted 10 May, 2018 Share Posted 10 May, 2018 Nice to see I was ITK for once. Just imagine where we'd be now if we'd signed those 4 players this season. Keane was pretty average at best for Everton. Not sure he's been any better Hoedt (probably worse), he cost more and I reckon Hoedt has more potential to get better as it was his first year in the league whereas Keane has plenty of PL experience. Pickford was good, but to be honest if we'd just had McCarthy in all season I doubt Pickford would have done much better, he's still very much a potential keeper and has plenty of mistakes in him. And Sigurdsson has managed 4 goals and 3 assists this year. Which is the same assists and two less goals than Tadic this year, but he cost £45 million. So based on that I doubt we'd be much better off, and we'd have a lot less money. Maguire was very good though. Top assists in the Championship this season [ATTACH=CONFIG]2673[/ATTACH] Top scorers in the Championship this season [ATTACH=CONFIG]2674[/ATTACH] I see Vydra is fast becoming the new Darren Huckerby, too good for the Championship, not good enough for the PL.

I'm sure most of that is down to mismanagement by Everton, both looked like amazing prospects a year ago (albeit I wouldn't have paid more than £30m for Sigurdsson.) If we had Pickford and Keane at the back August we'd have conceded far fewer goals up til December and not be in the mess we were in then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted 10 May, 2018 Share Posted 10 May, 2018 Given where we need to strengthen I'd like an experienced centre back, so would go for Evans, Dawson or shaw cross in that order. I'd take shaquiri and he's relatively cheap. Allen in midfield, leroy fer isn't too shabby either. Can't see much else I'd fancy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Albert Posted 10 May, 2018 Share Posted 10 May, 2018 Shaquiri’s name leaps out for me. I’m assuming there’ll be competition and it would take some convincing for him to come here. Not sure what his relationship was like with Hughes, assuming Hughes stays on. When’s the last time we nabbed a player off a relegated PL team?

le_tiss Posted 27 June, 2020 Author Share Posted 27 June, 2020 ARISE MY PRETTY - ARISE 😃 Time to resurrect the thread once more Please have re-read of the thread - Some of the opinions on here are hilarious from years past 7 games to go So it could be 3 from these: Norwich Aston Villa Bournemouth West Ham Watford Brighton Time to pillage the relegated teams of their best & brightest So who would you be interested in Saints buying? (within our wage structure) 😬 My Choices are listed below 😎 I have highlighted the player from each team I think would fit into Ralph's / our teams setup and we could afford (Fee and Wages) Norwich https://www.canaries.co.uk/first-team-squad/first-team/ Max Arrons - FB Ben Godfrey - CB Jamel Lewis - FB Todd Cantwell - ACM (I am sure he will be off to a TOP 6 Club tbh) 😔 Emiliano Buendia - ACM Teemu Pukki - CF Villa https://www.avfc.co.uk/teams/first-team John McGinn - CM Jack Grealish - CM (I am sure he will be off to a TOP 6 Club tbh) Mwamba Samatta - CF Bournemouth https://www.afcb.co.uk/teams/first-team/ Aaron Ramsdale - GK Nathan Ake - CB - (I am sure he will be off to a TOP 6 Club tbh) Chris Mepham - CB Jefferson Lerma - DCM (exactly what we need as a Defensive CM as a platform for the team) Philip Billing - DCM David Brooks - ACM (I am sure he will be off to a TOP 6 Club tbh) Harry Wilson - ACM Josh King - CF Callum Wilson - CF (I totally understand we have no chance at Wilson. King, Ake, Brooks or Wilson due to wages!) West Ham https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad Luckaz Fabinski - GK Ryan Fredricks - FB Angelo Ogbonna - CB Declan Rice - DCM (I am sure he will be off to a TOP 6 Club tbh) Sebastian Haller - CF (no chance with wages 😔) Watford https://www.watfordfc.com/teams/watford-first-team/players Abdulaya Doucoure - DCM - ( no chance) Nathaniel Chalobah - ACM Danny Welbeck - CF (always injured - wages) Andre Gray - CF Ismalia Sarr - CF Issac Success - CF Christian Kabasele - CB Roberto Peyera - ACM again no chance Brighton https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/teams/mens-team Mat Ryan - GK Shane Duffy - CB Lewis Dunk - CB Yves Bissouma - DCM Leandro Trossard - ACM Neal Maupay - CF phew!! Obviously there is a lot I have suggested that we wouldn't have a chance at due to wages / bigger clubs in for them etc. But food for thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKD Posted 27 June, 2020 Share Posted 27 June, 2020 Would like us to take a look at Lerma. Would be a solid replacement for PEH, although him and JWP in Cm would be pretty 1 dimensional. obviously we won’t have the ambition to go for Wilson, but would be a great addition. Ake, I’m told already has a move lined up. looking at those who are potentially realistic. Buendia, cantwell, Brooks and Arrons would all be good additions is a position we’re relatively weak. the reality is, we won’t get any of them as they’ll be too expensive.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 27 June, 2020 Share Posted 27 June, 2020 (edited) Personally, I quite like Adam Smith as a right back, probably on our sort of money could add to our depth. Ake clearly better than anything we’ve got, but out of our range. Same with Brookes. Callum Wilson may have missed out on a big money money move as he’s been pretty average this season, but maybe worth a punt if wages allow. Krul played well tonight, better than what we’ve got.

Charlie Wayman Posted 27 June, 2020 Share Posted 27 June, 2020 There are no obvious standout players in the bottom six with maybe the exception of Tim Krul that would improve our squad. Norwich, Bournemouth and West Ham look the most likely for the drop but a new goal keeper while desirable clearly is not a priority. Norwich 'though financed by parachute payments seem good enough to come back up at the first attempt so probably will not be selling any of their better players. Bournemouth are at the end of a cycle and will need to re-group and start again with youngsters while West Ham just seem to stumble from one financial mess to another, buying expensive over-rated misfits that never seem to match expectations. Can't see Ralph looking in this directions at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 27 June, 2020 Share Posted 27 June, 2020 There's quite a few, but I have no idea what figures they would want for Cantwell & Buendia.

Some real quality young players at Norwich but they are likely to be unwilling to/not need to sell anybody unless significant offers come in. I would like Godfrey, Aarons, Buendia and Cantwell but can't see any going for under £30mil even post Covid. It would be Ryan Fraser I would look at if we're being realistic. Reports he is asking for mega bucks but if better offers don't materialise for the lad a good wage could be offset by the lack of any fee. Could really see him flourishing under Ralph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia for me is the stand option that might be within our price range,the Norwich youngsters will be out of that and destined for 'Big 6' clubs. Billing is an interesting one, looked to have big potential at Huddersfield in their promotion year but hasn't shown anything since. Wouldn't look at the Brighton squad as I can't see them being relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted 28 June, 2020 Share Posted 28 June, 2020 Buendia has more than double the assists this season than any of our players...in that Norwich team. Could be worth a punt for sure.

S-Clarke Posted 28 June, 2020 Share Posted 28 June, 2020 You'd be crazy to buy anyone from that Aston Villa defence, they are inept. Of all the players, and given it's a position we need additions in, I'd like Max Aarons - one of the really talented Norwich lads, a little bit lost in their shower - but he has real ability. Got a feeling bigger clubs will be sniffing and that will mean the price is too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
