doddisalegend Posted 29 December, 2017 Share Posted 29 December, 2017 Anyone underwhelmed with either Sturridge or Walcott needs to give their heads a wobble. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk you really think Sturridge would suddenly overcome his ****ty injury record and have the mental bollix to cope with fighting relegation with saints? would he ****?

ally_uk Posted 29 December, 2017 Share Posted 29 December, 2017 Sturridge is better than our current strikers in terms of finishing...... Long can't score in a brothel Gabba makes clever runs never a prolific scorer Austin blowing out of backside after 20 mins..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 29 December, 2017 Share Posted 29 December, 2017 Wagner quoting £76m for Christopher Schindler, but wondered how much he really would cost. Extremely highly rated by their fans. Probably too rich for our taste. We are probably a sideways move for him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 29 December, 2017 Share Posted 29 December, 2017 Jullien is a beast of a centre back, very similar physical attributes to that of Virgil. Only early 20's too, ticks all our boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted 29 December, 2017 Share Posted 29 December, 2017 Thanks for the link. Always a bit dubious about using YouTube for gauging a player, but certainly looks interesting. And it would appear he can actually score a goal, unlike certain other people I could think of. Next question - is he mad? I mean, the money will soften the blow but life on the French Riviera traded in for a relegation scrap on the Solent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Ash Posted 29 December, 2017 Share Posted 29 December, 2017 Sturridge and Walcott would be amazing. As long as it works, those two and a 20m defender then that is quality rebuilding. It seems Gabi is too home sick which is a shame as he is quality, hope he starts tomorrow and gets a confidence goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 30 December, 2017 Share Posted 30 December, 2017 I'd normally be against breaking our pay structure & bringing new players in at vastly higher wages than everyone else. The problem this causes is wage inflation with existing players then wanting more money. However at the moment this shouldn't be a problem. I doubt if any of them have the balls to try and claim they're underpaid for the performances they've been turning in, and even if they did knock on Les' door asking for a pay rise they'd be laughed out the room.

Chewy Posted 30 December, 2017 Share Posted 30 December, 2017 Interesting - would be a shame to se gabbi go, must be soul destroying being the forward in our team at the moment. And not sure I'm so keen on Sturbridge as a transfer. With his fitness record it'd be an expensive risk, worth it for 6 months while he'd be doing his upmost to get to the World Cup, but as a permanent move? Not su sure.

Saint Albert Posted 30 December, 2017 Share Posted 30 December, 2017 There was talk about him being homesick back in the summer. Would be a shame if he left. I’d be choked if Gabbiadini left and we kept Long. One of the benefits to selling Long, is that Pellegrino would not be tempted to play him over strikers who can actually score goals. The article could simply be incorrect, or made up. Or Gabbiadini could be homesick, or perhaps (most worryingly) this is indicative of Pellegrino’s influence over transfer policy.

Chewy Posted 30 December, 2017 Share Posted 30 December, 2017 (edited) So as a summary at this stage we're linked with Walcott, sturridge & plea, with gabbi rumoured to be off. There's been talk (probably just hopeful) of dembele, sessegnon, Mawson, jullien, gaitan, and nothing about a goalkeeper. Any of the resident itks care to confirm if any of the above is right?

The attacking midfielders failure to react to Gabbi’s runs seems almost wilful sometimes (probably just a lack of football intelligence to notice him though). I’m sure Walcott would work well with him if Pellegrino doesn’t insist Walcott just keeps running towards the corner flag and making high crosses in Gabbi’s vague direction.

Convict Colony Posted 30 December, 2017 Share Posted 30 December, 2017 Following Leandre's tweet I am going for a double swoop on Nice for Plea Winger/Striker and Seri playmaker.

Heisenberg Posted 30 December, 2017 Share Posted 30 December, 2017 Gabbi might be better with Walcott Just like Long was way better with Mane Problem is you need more than just players for it to work.
