southamptonfc Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 This would be a huge boost for the morale of the fans. Make it happen Until they realize he isn't all that amazing and gets injured all the time.
East Kent Saint Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-42492087 Looks like we have taken a gamble with the VVD money already !
Pamplemousse Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 If Walcott were to come here, it would be massive.

EBS1980 Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 I’m more concerned with the type of player we go after rather than who. We should be looking to by 4 good quality players for the starting 11 with that cash, even once the Celtic element is withdrawn.
Convict Colony Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 wrong thread but it is so interesting watching sterling play on the left for city and how he receives and uses the ball v what redmond does. Sterling is like a iphone x and redmond is a iphone 6

DT Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 Goal keeper. Keeper of the goal. Man who saves things. Not a statue. Can jump a bit. Organises. Can kick. Can catch. Doesn't hoof it into touch. Doesn't just stand there. Comes out. Doesn't stand rooted to his line. Yes please Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
adrian lord Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 What is Walcott's present fitness/injury status?
Wimborne_saint Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 What is Walcott's present fitness/injury status? He's not injured. Struggles to even get in the matchday squad these days though, only made 4 sub appearances in the league this year but played the full 90 against West Ham in the cup last week.
captain sensible Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 Please. Any goalkeeper. ANY ****ing goalkeeper Tommy Forecast?
SaltashSaint Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 Not saying we would get them or that their clubs would sell them, but I would love to see any of Walcott, Zouma, Loftus-Cheek, Ospina, Chambers, Giroud, Mangala, Roberts, Llorente. We need some pace in the side, the option of a big man up front, a decent winger, some strength and height in midfield, a decent option at right back and a keeper that can rival Forster.
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 Jeremy Wilson claims we hope to sign attacker next week plus other deals lined up. Club committed to reinvested all the money received and make major signings of their own. I won't hold my breath..... Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk
Saint Matty 76 Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 Boufal - Dembele - Walcott would be such an exciting looking attack but I have no idea what Walcott's preference are these days, maybe a case where he only moves to a team guaranteeing him #9.

Bstokesaint Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 How much money do people realistically think we have to spend in January? And how much will be going straight to China?
SO16_Saint Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 What is Walcott's present fitness/injury status? He’s currently fit, but is just about to get up off the sofa, so it could all be about to change
Jonnyboy Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 Walcott on his way here according to a few Arsenal ITKs. So his wife will be moving back down Southampton way?
James Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 Walcott should be the priority. Actually cares about the club, vastly superior to the players we’ve got here at the moment (here’s looking at you Redmond) and will give the fans a big lift. In reality, it’s more likely to be Elia on loan.
Shance Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 Get Walcott in!!! Then get another CB please. Then a GK. Any ****ing goal keeper will do!
eelpie Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 We'll spend about £30m at most. We don't want to know that Les.
Saint Billy Posted 27 December, 2017 Posted 27 December, 2017 How much if any is the new owner willing to use for the team is the question. Will it be our current manager or a replacement who is given any funds is another question. Until these are known its pointless speculating.
Saintandy666 Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 Individually, I think we have a competent enough team. An extra defender and adventurous midfielder would be nice. Our problem seems to be that there is no team though, just a collective of players. So something that solves that.
kermitsaint Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 I have very little faith in Reed or Pellegrino to choose players wisely . Plus no real quality players would come to us anyway . A genuine 30 million pound player would expect a much higher salary than what we would pay . Am getting ready to be seriously underwhelmed . Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk
HKsaint Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 As Liverpool have got what they want from us, can they do us a favour to let us have Daniel Sturridge or lngs and Lovren and Lallana on loan, please?
Gingeletiss Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 people clamouring for a new CB, we have good CB's, what we need is a Keeper behind them that can save bl00dy shots. WE do need a goalscorer and a playmaker.
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 Would like to see Walcott back Also I’m a fan of dunk at Brighton and Zaha. Manager wise ide take monk and Beattie right now . The reality is we won’t spend the money as we never do , and we probably won’t even replace him
skintsaint Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 Get n Rafa Benitez - splash out on Icardi and Donnarumma. Can dream eh?
Ultimatt Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 I can't see Forster going anywhere while Dave Watson has a job. So an AM to replace Davis/JWP and a winger to replace Redmond. Austin ?? - ?? - Boufal/Tadic Lemina - Hojbjerg Bertrand - Hoedt - Yoshida - Cedric Forster Of course given it's midseason, the only players available will be ones clubs don't really need aka Rejects like all our recent signings. "The Les Reed Way". A player struggles to get into a midtable side and somewhere in Reed's mind he thinks that's good enough to challenge the Europa places. 9 times out of 10 the player won't improve us either.
simo Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 Doesn't look like we'll be spending too much according to the Echo .
Miltonaggro Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 First priority should be compensation for both Pellegrino and a new manager (we should not settle for choosing from the unemployed crop, find the right man for the job and ask his club what they want). Striker top priority after that - i'd be tempted to look at Depoitre from Huddersfield, Assombalonga from Middlesbrough or Antonin Barak from Udinese. After that I think the only additions we should make are if players go out - Redmond out, another AM in, Cedric/Bertrand out etc. At centreback I would quite honestly pick Hoedt and Stephens there for the rest of the season. Let them play and progress together. This.
BotleySaint Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 We'll get to the final days of the transfer window with no news and start looking at eachother going "surely we'll get a new centre back in?" In the final hours it'll become increasingly obvious that no-one is coming despite gaping holes in the teams quality. The next morning the club won't even mention it. Later in the month we'll make a deal with a former top class player who has been out injured for the past 2 years to solve our problems. And claim it was the plan all along. Like last January then..
Lord Duckhunter Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 Would like to see Walcott back Also I’m a fan of dunk at Brighton and Zaha. Manager wise ide take monk and Beattie right now .

Cabrone Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 The best 'signing' would be to replace the manager is with someone competent. That would be worth a few players. After that I'd spend big on a goal scorer. Current squad plus decent manager plus regular goal scorer would see a massive improvement in all areas but MP has to go.
James Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 Walcott on his way here according to a few Arsenal ITKs. As far as I can see all they’ve done is repeat what a few blokes on the Saints Not606 have said. Hardly conclusive.
westmidlandsaint Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 Let’s not kid ourselves the club have known since the summer that we'd be getting a lorry load of cash for Van Dijk in January. Our targets should have been identified and negotiations with those players clubs should be underway. If we don’t sign our targets early in January it’ll be a joke. I don’t think we can wait until end of January in our current form. FWIW I would try and get Brendan Rodgers in and sign Walcott, Dembele (Celtic) and Gibson. Reed needs to stop trying to unearth unheard of talents and hoping they work to increase his own reputation.
tajjuk Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 Do we need a centre-back? Hoedt, Stephens and Yoshida seems potentially good enough for the rest of the season IMO. Hardly like we shipped loads of goals with Yoshida and Stephens last year, I mean we have lost VVD, but in reality we haven't really had him for 12 months plus and conceding over the that period has not been a major problem, scoring goals has.

Yoshida and Stephens aren’t good enough, as shown in the last few games. Would they get in any other PL team? No chance.
SuperSAINT Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 Yoshida and Stephens aren’t good enough, as shown in the last few games. Would they get in any other PL team? No chance. They were good enough under Puel. (Unless we played a team with big strikers). The worry is how far they've regressed under MP.
saintwbu Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 Yoshida and Stephens aren’t good enough, as shown in the last few games. Would they get in any other PL team? No chance. Stephens has been playing RB, he’s good enough at CB. I’d be worried about sticking with only those three due to our tendency to go with 3 CB’s against the big sides. One of those gets injured and we’re in the same predicament as last year as Bednarek and Gardos aren’t up to it. We definitely need a defender of some sort I think, all of our positions in the back line look a bit weak after an injury.
Jai27 Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 Assuming we spend 75mil (dreamland I know)... Quincy Promes - On form goal scoring attacking midfielder (i.e. not Nathan f*****g Redmond). The player we should have replaced Mane with - 20mil/25mil Bas Dost - Although possibly now out of our price range considering his success this season. Exactly the type of striker we've been missing since Lambert/Pelle left - 20/25mil Walcott - Goal scorer. Positive player. Knows the league and the club. - 15/20mil If Bertrand goes (now unlikely considering his injury) then I'd get Shaw back in. Possibly one for the summer.
