kermitsaint Posted 30 December, 2017 Share Posted 30 December, 2017 Embarrassing for them to have to move to Southampton according to the idiot Durham on Talk****e. 'Sturridge would be signing for a club well below the level of his skills! Southampton are club with no ambition or direction.'To be honest its true . He won't want to come to us . If he was in form we could never get him . To be honest I wouldn't want either of them . Both are injury prone has beens who we would have to pay over the odds to buy . You guys complain about Austin at 4 million . Walcott would be 20 plus million . Not a decent fit for the challenge Reed has lumbered us with Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 30 December, 2017 Share Posted 30 December, 2017 sturridge will go to stoke on loan, defo a mark hughes signing Hopefully. I'd rather he spent a large proportion of the remaining season on their treatment table rather than ours. Press reports suggest Liverpool want to sell rather than loan though.

Press reports suggest Liverpool want to sell rather than loan though. Could Sturridge end up at Everton? Stupid enough to pay the wages and fee. I don't know what the precedence is for players moving between the Merseyside clubs. As for Walcott, not sure how committed he would be on loan. It sounds like the only way we would get him. Arse paying half his wages would make it viable I would have thought. Not sure I fancy him based on arsenal fans comments. Usual online jibes aside they don't rate him too highly.

Winnersaint Posted 30 December, 2017 Share Posted 30 December, 2017 It's what he does, another professional troll trying to drum up a reaction by being outspoken. On the occasions that I find myself listening to his show I find him and Gough bloody embarrassing. Awful presenters who have resorted to such depths in order to get people to phone and contribute. Crap. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk I get that’s the way the buffoon works so it was almost a LOL moment at this lame attempt.

Golden Balls Posted 30 December, 2017 Share Posted 30 December, 2017 Would take Theo. Wasn't it last year he was their top scorer? He's only 28, still has pace, is direct and would care imo. Sturridge, not for me. I don't like his attitude. So selfish and I think he'll feel we're well below him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 30 December, 2017 Share Posted 30 December, 2017 Quotes from an Arsenal fan account called The Bottom Corner on Twitter: Walcott is now a Southampton player.

Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk its hard to make comparisons like that though because Mane was two summers ago and football player transfer inflation seems to go up with every transfer and has gone through the roof since Mane was sold (and he would be worth loads more than 35mil if he was sold tomorrow) . At the end of the day if Walcott comes in and scores the goals to keep us up its money well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurosaint Posted 31 December, 2017 Share Posted 31 December, 2017 Right now our squad is lacking pace and a natural goalscorer ! Right now we are in serious danger of going down ! Walcott = pace ! Sturridge = goals ! Sure there is a big risk in terms of fitness but do we prefer to stick with the longer term policy of signing younger, inexperienced players with potential sell-on value or do we take a gamble ?? For me, it's a 'no-brainer'. Get the two of them in (on loan if possible) sharpish and watch their quality light up SMS ! Time to roll the dice IMHO !

whelk Posted 31 December, 2017 Share Posted 31 December, 2017 There seems to be a lack of quality CBs and pretty much half the league need a goal scorer.

Daft Kerplunk Posted 31 December, 2017 Share Posted 31 December, 2017 Walcott will fit a club narrative of ‘one of our academy players making it to the first team’ so that’s a PR/spin win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 31 December, 2017 Share Posted 31 December, 2017 Tricky if true. Everton can and will pay more but he wouldnt have to uproot himself to sign for us and there's a nice symmetry to his career if he comes to us. Get the feeling our Arsenal twitter genius was taking a punt and hoping he was right. I'd like to see him here so fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellman Posted 31 December, 2017 Share Posted 31 December, 2017 Still think we need a target man and replacement for VVD Please don't replace VVD again, we've been replacing him for ages Hoedt, the Polish guy and the one who has been out injured for five years, he must be ready in another year or so meantime we've already got Yoshida and our own Jack Stephens who did well last season and deserves the opportunity this season.

scotty Posted 31 December, 2017 Share Posted 31 December, 2017 If we really are after sturridge, wouldn't we have tied up the deal as part of the vvd one? Cash plus player? As for walcott, I can see that happening because of his history here. No player who's played so long at the level he has in the prem can possibly need the money, it would have to involve other factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally_uk Posted 31 December, 2017 Share Posted 31 December, 2017 I would get both on loan for rest of season. Then use the VD money to sign the Mane replacement and a VD replacement such as Julien, Schar, Diop, Mawson. Any cash left over than go for a young player with potential such as Ryan Seggasson. I wouldn't pay 30 million for Walcott...... Get him and porridge on loan..... Low risk they should keep us in the prem... If they perform rubbish then send em back home win win.

Plus if that had happened with the VVD deal it would of impacted the "world record fee for a defender" line. I think it's a possibility to get him but we should do it very quickly or move on.

Then use the VD money to sign the Mane replacement and a VD replacement such as Julien, Schar, Diop, Mawson. . I understood Schar was the player we were interested in last January but Hoffenheim upped the price to £10m and we withdrew from it. Shame because he was highly rated at Basel and at one stage was linked with all the bigger names (Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool). I think he ended up going to Spain or Portugal for about £4m in the summer. No idea how he's doing there but I suspect we've moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
