SNSUN Posted 30 January, 2017 Share Posted 30 January, 2017 Will anyone else feel a bit shortchanged if it's just the Italian striker, Tasci on loan and the young French GK? Shortchanged? I'm sure if you told people at the start of the window that we'd be signing 3 players they'd be delighted, and that's before the VVD injury. I don't know much about Tasci but he has decent pedigree, and will add to the experience of the defence in Virgil's absence. That leaves Maya and Tasci as first choice and Stephens and Gardos as the back ups. I can live with that for this season. The keeper is young and back up while McCarthy recovers from injury, and Gabbiadini will add to the attacking options with versatility. In a season where we're unlikely to finish in the top 7, and unlikely to get relegated, and really have one game left that truly matters, I'd say those signings plug some vital gaps. @DeanJonesBR: Burnley closing in on Hull full-back Andy Robertson, a £10m offer to be accepted I can't believe how much Hull are selling their jewels. Surely relegation favourites? Livermore, Snodgrass, Robertson and also no Mason. That's some loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenridge Posted 30 January, 2017 Share Posted 30 January, 2017 So potentially we have 3 incoming: Gaba, Tasci and that french keeper Not good enough get another two With seemingly long term injuries to Austin, VvD and McCarthy the potential signing of the 3 mentioned players would give us a position of status quo in the squad.

No better club to go to as a striker to improve your reputation. You are right going to Chelsea would seem a strange move whist Costa is there. We would actually be the ideal choice as he could effectively be first choice right from the off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 30 January, 2017 Share Posted 30 January, 2017 (edited) http://www.birmingham.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=478201 Interesting link this as he's 20 and not first choice at Brum, so is one for the future for them never mind us. He's very raw, but quick. Brum play 3 CBs and wing backs, so it must be tricky for Saints scouts to evaluate how he would fit into our rigid four at the back system. In the games I have seen him play he crossed a half decent ball and perhaps reminded me of a very young Clyne, although that might be stretching things. They let Caddis go recently, so he might get more chances, although I think Spectre is ahead of him and new signing Nsue might jump to the front of the right back queue.

Heisenberg Posted 30 January, 2017 Share Posted 30 January, 2017 That has total panic buy written all over it - hoping this is just agent talk Hes been offered to all Premier league clubs and Hull and Swansea were interested at £5m Agent then tried to get some Spurs hype/ hope once Vertonghen was injured This guy was loaned out to Sampdoria and now cant get anywhere near the Inter starting 11 despite injuries. Think hes been on the bench for last 20 odd games and got on once or twice in last 5 minutes let hull take him @SkyKaveh: Inter Milan defender Andrea Ranocchia has agreed deal to move on loan to Hull City.

Chez Posted 30 January, 2017 Share Posted 30 January, 2017 Oriol Romeu, Ryan Bertrand? Good point. Maybe I should have stipulated other than Chelsea. As Dr Zeus says, someone comfortable with the ball is preferable and I'd say that was essential within our current framework. That makes me wonder if there is any interest at all from us.
