Micky Posted 24 May, 2018 Posted 24 May, 2018 Yeah, i'd rather not have a player that can score goals from nothing 30 yards out, score free kicks, pick out a killer pass because he is perceived as "stroppy" and just have 11 Shane Longs running around and trying really hard.Wrong account.

Mr Brightside Posted 26 May, 2018 Posted 26 May, 2018 Mo Barrow at Reading? Ok, so have only seen him play twice last season but he was excellent. Lightning quick, went past people for fun, scared (Championship) defenders sh1tless. Realise it didn't work out for him at Swansea (though they did have that mad Yank while he was there) so would be a gamble but could turn out to be the Mane replacement we need if Promes etc. doesn't happen.
SuperSAINT Posted 26 May, 2018 Author Posted 26 May, 2018 Not seen who reported it for The Sun, but would be good if true. SHAQIRI TOPS SAINTS LIST Mark Hughes will step up his pursuit of Stoke City playmaker Xherdan Shaqiri after securing his long-term future at Southampton. The Sun report that the Welshman, who signed a three-year deal at St Mary's this week, wants to be reunited with the Swiss international after Stoke's relegation from the Premier League. New Stoke manager Gary Rowett faces an uphill task convincing Shaqiri to stay at the bet365 Stadium, but a deal could suit all parties.

Therefore, if an interesting proposal comes, I'll think about it," - quotes Promes NOS.nl. Sounds like a move is likely this summer, even if not to Saints.
SNSUN Posted 27 May, 2018 Posted 27 May, 2018 https://www.sport-express.ru/football/rfpl/news/kvinsi-promes-u-menya-est-ambicii-vystupat-v-bolee-silnoy-lige-1411413/ Sounds like a move is likely this summer, even if not to Saints. He's linking up with the Koeman-managed Dutch squad for the World Cup, and both of us and Newcastle have been linked with him. We didn't sack Koeman, so here's hoping he prefers us to Everton and influences him towards the South Coast!

tajjuk Posted 28 May, 2018 Posted 28 May, 2018 I still question how to fit Tadic and Shaqiri in a team. Promes just slots in opposite flank to Tadic. If 343 again, is Tadic/Austin/Shaqiri too slow? Tadic/Gabbiadini/Shaqiri maybe? Would have decent movement, but 3 left footers. Not sure if that matters or not. They don't all have to fit, we need options in those positions. Tadic was woeful for 3/4s of the season, maybe bad management, but if we had Shaqiri there to challenge him then he should play better and we'll score more goals. The most valuable thing I think Shaqiri would bring to us is goals from outside the box, we have barely anyone that scores from longer range and those sort of goals can nick wins where we don't play that well. We definitely need some more pace though, if not Promes someone of that ilk.
SuperSAINT Posted 28 May, 2018 Author Posted 28 May, 2018 It was already agreed for this summer, no? *cough* Yeah, what a load of tripe that was. I even remember Pellegrino having a minor dig about the club needing to move quicker on transfers when we c*cked that deal up.
kjurwi Posted 28 May, 2018 Posted 28 May, 2018 Being Swedish, i would like to suggest Viktor Claesson(Krasnodar), Pontus Jansson (Leeds) and try to get Viktor Nilsson-Lindelöf (Man U). Would make next season more fun for me.

Shaqiri’s attitude is horrendous too.

Verbal Posted 30 May, 2018 Posted 30 May, 2018 The black box has apparently been watching Aden Flint of Bristol City. I know nothing about him, but FourFourTwo magazine rated him the best defender in the Championship last season.

Foxstone Posted 30 May, 2018 Posted 30 May, 2018 https://turkish-football.com/southampton-aston-villa-plot-move-for-german-defender-tobias-pachonik/ Interesting.. Might be an inexpensive and decent acquisition. I just look at how well some of the "lower tier" German players adapt and do well - Pascal Gross springs immediately to mind.
vectraman Posted 30 May, 2018 Posted 30 May, 2018 Edin Džeko available from Roma? Proper proven PL quality, just the type of target man we need. Him, an experienced centre back and a quick pace winger, job done.

Him, an experienced centre back and a quick pace winger, job done. I wonder if there will be a change of emphasis. Hughes always strikes me as someone who is more interested in established players rather than those needing a lot of development. Maybe an experienced forward, like Dzeko, would do us the world of good although I'm not sure we could tempt him.
benjii Posted 30 May, 2018 Posted 30 May, 2018 Edin Džeko available from Roma? Proper proven PL quality, just the type of target man we need. Him, an experienced centre back and a quick pace winger, job done. Yeah, that would be job done for Arsenal.

Alain Perrin Posted 30 May, 2018 Posted 30 May, 2018 We need someone who can hold the ball up like Pele or Lambert. We've really missed that and it hits our ability to bring others into the play. Everything bounces off Austin in comparison to those two.

Useful Idiot Posted 31 May, 2018 Posted 31 May, 2018 Josh king has to be worth a shout then Isn't he just a taller, younger Shane Long with slightly better ball control? He's only had one season in his career when he's got into double figures for goals, the rest of the time he's been pretty mediocre.
Dusic Posted 31 May, 2018 Posted 31 May, 2018 http://www.claretandhugh.info/fredericks-to-meet-hammers-on-monday/ Interest in Ryan Fredericks who is potentially available on a free should he decide not to extend with Fulham (which he should do IMO). Certainly no way he would sign anywhere to be a backup, so if true must be question marks over Cedric, as expected.
GarrettIvo Posted 31 May, 2018 Posted 31 May, 2018 Isn't he just a taller, younger Shane Long with slightly better ball control? An upgrade in every way then.
Useful Idiot Posted 31 May, 2018 Posted 31 May, 2018 An upgrade in every way then. A bit like upgrading an ageing ford fiesta by replacing it with an overpriced Focus with dodgy alloy wheels when you could be looking at getting a BMW.
vectraman Posted 31 May, 2018 Posted 31 May, 2018 Looks decent, think he's do ok. But their left back looked better. Just not as good as our current left back...
SuperSAINT Posted 31 May, 2018 Author Posted 31 May, 2018 Every year I tell myself not to get surprised by the prices in the transfer window.... (Posting this here because we've been mentioned before). LEICESTER PONDER £40M GREALISH MOVE Leicester are considering a bid for Aston Villa’s highly rated midfielder Jack Grealish, SSN understands. With Riyad Mahrez closing in on a £60m move to Man City, Leicester have the funds to strengthen their resources in midfield and believe the 22-year old would be the perfect fit. SSN also understands that both Arsenal and Man Utd have monitored Grealish’s form in recent months. Villa are keen to keep hold of the talented former England and Ireland U21 international, but appreciate that may be impossible after their Play Off final defeat confirmed another year in the Championship. Grealish has two years left on his contract, however, the club remains under pressure to balance the books. If Grealish does leaves Villa Park, we understand the club would be looking to recoup around £40m.
