ChiefScummer Posted 29 March, 2018 Posted 29 March, 2018 Long - As much as I admire the graft he puts in, the goals are just not there. Redmond - Showed a lot of promise but has dramatically dipped in his performances and doesn't show any signs of improving and taking us forward. I'm choosing 2 to keep it simple. I know a lot of you will disagree but that's the beauty of being a fan, so lets discuss it. Who would you like to see sold/replaced in the summer?
captainchris Posted 29 March, 2018 Posted 29 March, 2018 Agree as priorities. I’d add Carillo and Hoedt both are very below our standard..
SNSUN Posted 29 March, 2018 Posted 29 March, 2018 If we go down, which I still think we are destined to do though I very much hope Hughes can work some kind of miracle, the players we want to ship out in the summer will become the ones we are left with after the better talent has been snapped up. If we stay up somehow, we need pretty major surgery. Certainly we would need a new spine of the team - GK, CB, AM, STR, and then look at upgrading the players we have. Whether we keep Bertrand and Lemina would be another situation that could arise, meaning they too would need to be replaced.
Nordic Saint Posted 29 March, 2018 Posted 29 March, 2018 Agree as priorities. I’d add Carillo and Hoedt both are very below our standard.. Carrillo, Hoedt, Bednarek, Clasie, Gardos, Redmond and Long.
SaintBobby Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 Depends totally on which division we're in. If relegated - which I think is likely - I'd definitely keep Redmond and Long. If we escape the drop, I'd definitely sell them.

doddisalegend Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 It will be easier to just to list the ones I'd keep Lemina...
Nordic Saint Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 It will be easier to just to list the ones I'd keep Lemina... As usual, we'll sell the ones we can get the most money for. Think of who our best quality players are and then you'll know who we'll sell this summer.
Lighthouse Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 Long, Austin, Carrillo, Boufal, Gardos, Pied, Forster, Clasie, Davis.
Bridge Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 Long, Austin, Carrillo, Boufal, Gardos, Pied, Forster, Clasie, Davis. I agree with all of this...but would add Redmond, Taylor and Prowse.
SuperSAINT Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 I love a good transfer thread, but don't see the point until we know what league we're in next season.
Batman Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 I love a good transfer thread, but don't see the point until we know what league we're in next season. Not planning for success? That’s the spirit!
adrian lord Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 If we stay up, the entire strike 'force' needs to be expunged. The defence needs major surgery and the midfield reinforcing. Build team around Lemina and/or Boufal as creative nucleii.
Batman Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 Forster Taylor Pied Van dijk Boufal Long Carrillo Probably gabbiadini (sadly)
Heisenberg Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 gabbiadini has 4 goals in his last 37 games.... He can leave Agree with batman though we should sell vvd again and this time not to Liverpool
Micky Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 What the hell, sell the lot. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk
Jonnyboy Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 gabbiadini has 4 goals in his last 37 games.... He can leave Agree with batman though we should sell vvd again and this time not to Liverpool Haha We've sold so much there's not many I'd miss at all if they were sold this summer. Lemina would be a bit of a shame but otherwise they can all jog on.
larry12 Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 Les Reed +120 "Her Herr" IE............. tinpot dictator
Batman Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 gabbiadini has 4 goals in his last 37 games.... He can leave Agree with batman though we should sell vvd again and this time not to Liverpool Just replacing VvD would be nice
larry12 Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 I agree with all of this...but would add Redmond, Taylor and Prowse. You included Prowse. I have been vilified for daring to suggest that and you get away with it. Life is just so unfair.
sotonjoe Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 Can’t beat Saintsweb madness You’ve got the usual suspects listing half the squad who should be sold, and then they’ll be whinging in a ‘transfer meltdown’ thread once the selling starts kicking in. ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Shandy_Top_89 Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 People highlighting Prowse and Redmond . The Redmond hate absolutely baffles me, he hasn’t had a good season, but had a very good season last year that appears to have gone entirely unnoticed. He clearly has the capability to hit form again. In contrast most look favourably on Boufal, who aside from random screamers has shown absolutely nothing, other than being a b rate reincarnation of Fabrice Fernandes. He offers very little to the team. Also Ward-Prowse out? What planet are people living on? For me; Forster (although I think we are now stuck with him in true Forecast fashion, no one else will be willing to pay him what we are for what he brings), Hoedt (extremely underwhelming and genuinely a worse defender than both Stephens and Yoshida), Cedric (had an extremely poor season, yet goes to the media to express his desire to move on for continental football), Clasie, Tadic, Boufal, Davis, Long. I want to say Carillo but I guess he deserves a bit more time before being completely written off. If Stoke go down and we survive, we should go in for Butland. If Bertrand leaves Targett and McQueen deserve to fight it out for first team LB. Overall essentials; GK, RB, CB. Positions that are important but have potential in squad replacements; Centre Mid (Reed), Winger (Sims), Forward (Gallagher).
SFC Forever Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 Targett and McQueen can both make it as fb's but I am also wondering whether McQueen who began as a striker could be a midfield player. God forbid it happens but if relegated then they might well be ready to play for us. Neither has let us down when they have played this season. Our biggest problem has been our non performing absent midfield. Long, Carillo, Gabbiadini, Boufal, Tadic, to go. If we let Forster go [unlikely] because of his costs and loss of form, we might do well to hunt from Championship or lower for a young keeper. Wigan's maybe.
SFC Forever Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 As for the defence I would wait to see who and how many we lose and bring in before getting rid of more.
Dellman Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 Carillo was the clown's choice and now the clown has gone, no point in keeping him--but didn't he get a five year contract? If so, we're stuck with him. As for JWP someone says sell him--i say build the new squad round him
Badger Posted 30 March, 2018 Posted 30 March, 2018 Not even worth speculating on at the moment. Will depend on two unknowns: what league we're in who the manager is. It wouldn't surprise though if Les already has agreements for Bertrand and Cedric to leave having stayed on this season.
simo Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 I'd like to see all saints fans who call themselves "Scummer" replaced !
Ashby Saint Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 Apart from Boufal, who gives the impression of being not very coachable, then I’d give most of the players a fresh chance under the new regime before the great sell-off. Not sure about Tadic as his attitude has been off at times.
doddisalegend Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 It will be easier to just to list the ones I'd keep Lemina... Changed my mind I don't want to keep any if them. Forgetting the managers for a second do the players not have one shred of professional pride...
washsaint Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 Less Reed, Russ Wilson, Forster, Cedric, Hoedt, Bertrand, Lemina, Long, Gabbiadini, Carillo, Redmond all out. But we would need someone to take most of those sacks of s**t off our hands.
Roger Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 Main 3 are les Reed, Ross Wilson and Ralph Kruger. Would love to see kat go from her shareholding too. She’s a fraud. Cortese back
Useful Idiot Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 I'd like to see the whole squad sold. I can't think of one of them that's worth the shirt.
Jonnyboy Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 Haha We've sold so much there's not many I'd miss at all if they were sold this summer. Lemina would be a bit of a shame but otherwise they can all jog on. I stand by this comment.
ally_uk Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 The whole ducking team is absolute toilet! Well the lot and rebuild.
SKD Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 Not even sure Stephens is good enough to play CB in the championship if I’m honest, terrible defender.
benjii Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 Not even sure Stephens is good enough to play CB in the championship if I’m honest, terrible defender. No, I don't think he is. Would still give free headers away and not mark. He's a League One defender or maybe a Champ defensive midfielder.
Manuel Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 He's a League One defender or maybe a Champ defensive midfielder. Lower league defensive midfielder is where I have seen him for a while,and I think he'd be good there. Centre back is not is forte.
shurlock Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 Look at this list before deciding we're doomed for next season too. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship/top-scorers Maybe a bit of humility is in order pal. You've woefully overestimated the quality in our squad. Perhaps some of our players are closer to that level.
Badger Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 You don't need a better keeper than McCarthy to get promoted. I wouldn't be worried about him. Stephens fine if gets a good partner, which to be fair, Yoshi would be at that level. Bednarek needs a chance as back up at that level. Won't be a better finisher than Austin down there. Sims needs to start games now, he's a great talent and perfect bright spot if we must be in that league. It's Long's level, he still has pace and will get more chances down there. Obvious weak spot in CM, as no chance we'll keep Lemina, Hojbjerg or Romeu. Davis maybe, good experience, Reed, hows he done at Norwich? Clasie?! That'd be the main signing needed for me, a strong CM, then another wide player. Still too lightweight, even at that level.
alpine_saint Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 Out : Tadic, Boufal, Redmond, Soares, Bertrand Not sure : Lemina, Gabbi, Long
Badger Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 He needs a good partner, he's had some decent games. Think people overestimate the quality down there, seen a lot of games this season and there's some really limited players doing well. They aren't all 6'4 and winning every header. Main thing by miles is keeping Austin. There'd be no chance but for his injury record. Would be a gamble for a club to sign him with that so hopefully we can keep him. not just the quality to concern ourselves with, but organisation and team spirit. Two areas we lack this season,
DT Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 Pretty much all of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
eelpie Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 Pretty much all of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk We'll have to sell them all, because we'll be bankrupted by their overweigh wages and they won't be a*sed tp play in the Championship. I'd keep Sims though.
labibs Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 I never really want to see Tadic ever play for Saints again
S-Clarke Posted 31 March, 2018 Posted 31 March, 2018 Shifting around a bit, personally, IMO, IMO, IMO and just for batman, I am not saying anything other than we might have an ok team for the championship, I think this is feasible if we showed a tiny bit of ambition in keeping players. McCarthy Valery Bednarek Yoshida Targett Sims Stephens Reed Redmond Austin Long Mid-table at absolute best. That midfield would get bullied off the pitch.
broncoboy Posted 1 April, 2018 Posted 1 April, 2018 I never really want to see Tadic ever play for Saints again I hope never to see Redmond play in a Saints strip again and although Long works hard I couldn't stand watching him constantly fail to score straight forward opportunities for another season . Les hasn't been seen or heard of for months so it seems he might have done a runner
