angelman Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 These guys are normally on the money... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I am happy with £8.5m - I find it all so depressing that everyone is splashing out such ridiculous sums, and that others (a lot here) think it a lack of "ambition" that we aren't joining in but have "only" bought 3 players in at £11m, £12.8m and £16m!!

Unbelievable Jeff Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Would be utter disgrace if we get rid of him. Why would it be an "utter disgrace"? Jimmy Saville was an utter disgrace, us sending out a player who has hardly played in 3 years, needs game time and is our third choice striker is not. If he goes we will replace him.

georgeweahscousin Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Personally I have no issue with Jay Rod going on loan IF a striker is coming in. Jay Rod is way off the pace, and no trickler/goalkeeping mistake against Sunderland is going to change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the weekend he scored his first goal for two years (and only because the keeper screwed up), he looks a shadow of his former self and needs game time to get his form back.

S-Clarke Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Looking at it from a club/coaching point of view - we have 3 players up front who all lack real height and power, We don't have a 'leading the line' centre forward and maybe the club felt that they need one, just to give the manager an alternative option. If the interest in Haller is true, then we'll have to ship one of our current front players out on loan to make way - Jay would make the most sense, he needs to play regular football and if he gets that elsewhere and rebuilds his career than it's a win-win. He's too good to be sat around on the bench playing rotation with 3 other players in my opinion. Will be interesting to see what happens and whilst I'll be disappointed to see him leave, as I've always been a huge fan of his, I could understand it from the clubs point of view.

Jay is our best 'all round' striker, can play in the system Puel wants to play, has got pace, can shoot from distance and decent in the air. no brainer to keep him IMO.

tajjuk Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Bony and Morgan, now that would massively improve our squad. Wages would be the issue suppose. Really wish we would be in for these sort of players, looking at some 22 year old in the dutch league for £10 million when a proven premier league goal scorer like Bony is available, it's almost like we've become football hipsters in our transfer dealings.

david in sweden Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 of course Saints are renowned for doing deals "under the radar " but if Haller has the goal-scoring success that is boasted...then he (potentially) looks like a good buy . .......so why the arguing about paying out £8.5 million. Of course everyone has a price, but surely in the present market situation it's " no big deal ".... even for Saints . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Austin is being given a lot of unfair stick on here, he's never really had an opportunity to mount a challenge here and peoples expectations of him are a little skewed. I think he's our most natural centre forward, we're all crying out for a 'proven 15-20 goal' striker...well, he's the closest we have to that!

Dig Dig Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 The difference is we know Austin can score in the Prem. He had a decent based season but if we are to play a possession based system with fluidity needed from the forwards, I don't think Austin will work out here. His all round game is poor, much like Sharp and plenty on here failed to understand that a few seasons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
