SaintBobby Posted 14 February, 2017 Share Posted 14 February, 2017 Weirdest transfer (or non transfer) ever. Massive player. Apparent family tragedy. Huge need for a CB at Saints. And we can't even be bothered to get his beyond a 15 page thread. I'm bracing myself for some idiot asking "Has Skacel signed yet?" and thinking it's funny. But no one can even be arsed to be that lame. Weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 14 February, 2017 Share Posted 14 February, 2017 Still worth a try - we have enough league games and prize money to make it worthwhile. Besides, sooner we are over 40 points the better and people are assuming Stephens/Yoshida/Gardos won't get injured/banned. Gardos's recent injury record is evidence enough to push this through if club, player and Home Office willing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted 14 February, 2017 Share Posted 14 February, 2017 Have been looking into this and I don't have a lot of confidence in this signing happening, or even if it would strengthen the team. Caceres' current whereabouts is uncertain. If it is true that the death of his brother has caused him to travel back to Uruguay, he could be away for a week or more added to which he would need clearance to enter the UK and a work permit. In the meantime, the story has arisen about former club Barca needing defensive cover for an injury and like SFC, only having the free agent list available. So, even if the Saints' recruitment team do want him, it might not happen soon and it might not happen at all. Then there is the question of how badly SFC want him. Having been out of the game for 12 months must raise serious doubts about how well he could now perform and how long it would take to get him match fit. One person who claims to know about these things has suggested that even if he is over the injury, getting match fit could take as much as six weeks. That seems to remove any prospect of him signing and appearing in the EFL final. What about the alternatives? The current CB pairing is Yoshiba and Stephens. Yoshi has been first choice to partner VVD for most of this season so his place is secure. Together with Stephens the two of them have last week's clean sheet to look back on. As third choice CB, Gardos is back to match fitness and as a former international CB should be as good, if not better than Caceres, to compete for the second spot. It could be argued that without Caceres we are still one CB short from the ideal number of 4 prem quality players in this position, meaning we could have to go to the development squad, or play a full back out of position. IMHO - the club may well try to sign Caceres but if they do, he could be 4th choice and would only get a first team opportunity if circumstances made it necessary.

When you say you have been looking in to this, do you actually mean that you have read a couple of random tweets about a death in the family and one random article on barca interest? Oh sorry and you read on a forum somewhere that apparently getting match fit will take 6 weeks. Well based on that hard hitting evidence you may just be onto something!!
