SuperSAINT Posted 23 January, 2017 Author Posted 23 January, 2017 Links on HITC (via The Sun) linking us with Brighton centre-back Lewis Dunk & Barnsley right-back James Bree http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/01/23/report-brighton-will-reject-all-offers-for-lewis-dunk-southampto/
Gorgiesaint Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 He's clearly a part of Chelseas plans now. Still waiting to be part of any matchday squad though. Anyone heard any further about Bournemouth trying to get Asmir Begovic for £12m?
a1ex2001 Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 My take on that would be, we are after someone and if we get him great, if not, we will say we are happy with what we have. My take on it too and the right thing for the manager to say, he shouldn't be going to the media saying we definitely need a CB as that totally undermines Stephens and Gardos who if the transfer we are working on doesn't come off need to be full of confidence and believe they have the managers backing. We're linked with Phil Jagielka. Little bit of a generic link. Really can't see that happening massively outside our transfer strategy in recent years That's about the starting point for any young English premier league player nowadays. Sadly that seems to be true 10m really doesn't buy you an awful lot from anywhere and for English players it buys you a bit of potential and not a lot more!

Pied / Martina / Cedric not enough
SuperSAINT Posted 23 January, 2017 Author Posted 23 January, 2017 Another right back ?? Pied / Martina / Cedric not enough What if he's an outstanding prospect? Not sure you can count Martina & Pied as long term.
Saint_clark Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Still waiting to be part of any matchday squad though. Anyone heard any further about Bournemouth trying to get Asmir Begovic for £12m? He was sat on the bench yesterday, was he not in the squad then? We should definitely try and get Begovic in the summer if Forsters form doesn't improve.
Gorgiesaint Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 He was sat on the bench yesterday, was he not in the squad then? We should definitely try and get Begovic in the summer if Forsters form doesn't improve. Apologies, having checked, he was on the bench yesterday.
SuperSAINT Posted 23 January, 2017 Author Posted 23 January, 2017 He was sat on the bench yesterday, was he not in the squad then? We should definitely try and get Begovic in the summer if Forsters form doesn't improve. Everton will likely take a punt on Forster in the summer.
Chez Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Everton will likely take a punt on Forster in the summer. interesting, although they might look at Hart first.
Chez Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 He was sat on the bench yesterday, was he not in the squad then? We should definitely try and get Begovic in the summer if Forsters form doesn't improve. Because of the huge contract we have just given him, I can't see us looking at anyone, unless of course someone comes in for him. Begovich is wasted on the bench at Chelsea though. Decent keeper

Saint Garrett Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Everton will likely take a punt on Forster in the summer. Everton have been after Butland for a long time, fully expect him to go there this summer.
Give it to Ron Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Claude Puel asked if Southampton are trying to sign Everton's Phil Jagielka. 'No comment.'
a1ex2001 Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Claude Puel asked if Southampton are trying to sign Everton's Phil Jagielka. 'No comment.' Which is the standard answer he will give if you ask him about anyone and quite rightly so.
Give it to Ron Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Which is the standard answer he will give if you ask him about anyone and quite rightly so. Yep....smokescreen and no confirmation either way as you say correct. He is nowhere near our usual policy so filed away under b/s.
BotleySaint Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Yep....smokescreen and no confirmation either way as you say correct. He is nowhere near our usual policy so filed away under b/s.An older player, but would give us more options for the rest of the season.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Claude Puel asked if Southampton are trying to sign Everton's Phil Jagielka. 'No comment.' Not a typical Southampton signing but maybe a stop gap on loan to tide us over until summer? Or a remark on a neatly timed leak to push another deal forwards?
Saint 76er Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 An older player, but would give us more options for the rest of the season. Especially if the news on VVD is not as good as hoped and experienced short term cover is required. Not easy to find such a player who is allegedly available in this window.
Saint_Ash Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Jagielka would be an awesome signing in the short term, we can't fully rely on the youngsters if Yoshi or VvD are out for any length of time. VvD, Jagielka and Yoshi are all captains, be nice to have that option. With regards to Forster, he has been under tabs by Arsenal for a while and may move for him in the summer as competition to Cech.
The Cat Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Everton fans have been slating Jagielka. I haven't seen enough of him this season to know whether that's justified or not.
James Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Would be more than happy with Jags in the short term.
simo Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Well we've got a week and a day to do whatever we are doing !
SuperSAINT Posted 23 January, 2017 Author Posted 23 January, 2017 SSN: Everton have announced that winger Gerard Deulofeu has joined AC Milan on loan until the end of the season.
SuperSAINT Posted 23 January, 2017 Author Posted 23 January, 2017 Well we've got a week and a day to do whatever we are doing ! Unless it's the most prolonged agent talk ever, I think there's something in the Gabbiadini talk. But surely not for anywhere near £20m. I'd be happy with a loan, with clauses.
Heisenberg Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Jagielka and Yoshida would be errrrr um yeah
Baird of the land Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 From what i've seen Jagielka is definitely on the decline. I can't see why we'd be interested unless Van Dijk injury is more severe than it appeared.
wild-saint Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Would be more than happy with Jags in the short term. Madness, We wont give a 33 year old a 2.5 year deal but we will give a 35 year old an 18 month contract?
Give it to Ron Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Madness, We wont give a 33 year old a 2.5 year deal but we will give a 35 year old an 18 month contract? A pedant writes...he is 34....not 35 until August.
Chez Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Never rated Jagielka as a CB. he doesn't pick the flight of a crossed ball well at all. This position is so crucial - they all are these days I suppose - but if you can get two pacey fullbacks and a dominating decent centre you are in almost every game. I'd be disappointed if we `settled' for him.
SuperSAINT Posted 23 January, 2017 Author Posted 23 January, 2017 @HullCity: We are delighted to confirm the signing of Lazar Marković on loan from @LFC until the end of the season #WelcomeLazar
SuperSAINT Posted 23 January, 2017 Author Posted 23 January, 2017 Claude Puel says Southampton will continue to consider the possibility of signing a new defender following the departure of José Fonte. The centre-back departed St Mary’s for West Ham United last week, and Puel says the club are keeping abreast of possible replacements. He reiterated, however, that they would only bring someone in who would improve the squad and that he retains full faith in the players he already has. “We will study possibilities to replace him,” Puel told reporters at a press conference ahead of the EFL Cup semi-final with Liverpool. "That’s normal. There is a possibility until the end of the market. "For the moment at centre back we have Maya Yoshida, van Dijk, Gardos and Jack Stephens, and we will see if we have an opportunity, or if we will stay with our confidence in these players. We will see at the end of the market. “For me, I am happy with all the squad and I respect my players. I am happy with these players and if one or two come into the squad then I think it will be important they can bring something more than the players for the moment in the squad.” Source: https://southamptonfc.com/news/2017-01-23/claude-puel-transfers-pre-liverpool-southampton-efl-cup
Dusic Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Di Marzio update says we want to buy Gabbiadini but not for their asking price which will scupper a deal unless it is lowered. http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/napoli-southampton-insists-on-purchasing-gabbiadini-the-updates Jagielka would be a dire signing IMO, a downgrade on Fonte, older, slower, on a big decline the last 12 months - the same reason he is out of the picture at Everton. Would rather blood Stephens.
Evil Monkey Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 Lascelles from Newcastle please. Young, English, bound to increase in value. Can't imagine they'd let him go cheap though.

Fabrice29 Posted 23 January, 2017 Posted 23 January, 2017 The fact that Puel had to ask who/what when Jagielka was mentioned to him pretty much relieves all fears I had of him signing.
