BotleySaint Posted 6 August, 2018 Posted 6 August, 2018 A very good signing for Fulham. Arguably better than all of our CB's. Could have provided RB cover also. Does seems strange we aren't in for him really.
SuperSAINT Posted 6 August, 2018 Posted 6 August, 2018 Fulham about to sign Calum Chambers on loan. Ok, I'm going to get battered for this, but I'm jealous of that one.

woodsaint Posted 6 August, 2018 Posted 6 August, 2018 Hardly set the world alight when he played for arsenal. Though he was often used as a CB when hes best at RB
Pamplemousse Posted 6 August, 2018 Posted 6 August, 2018 Played for Middlesbrough too when they went down. Not that good a player really, although Fulham might suit him better.

Could have provided RB cover also. Shouldn't we at least put in a note of interest? I know it would be difficult to land him, as another London club have offered, so less disruption to his home life ... but I feel we should try to get him.

Roo1976 Posted 6 August, 2018 Posted 6 August, 2018 Does seems strange we aren't in for him really. maybe he dosent want to come back cause Les let him go too easilly in the first place?
SuperSAINT Posted 6 August, 2018 Posted 6 August, 2018 Interesting re: VfTT's Stoke/Forster musings. Sky sources understand Chelsea have made Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland their top target if Thibaut Coutois leaves the club.
Matthew Le God Posted 6 August, 2018 Posted 6 August, 2018 maybe he dosent want to come back cause Les let him go too easilly in the first place? That is a daft idea, why would he be annoyed at moving from Southampton to Arsenal? He was more than likely delighted to do so and if he really didn't want to go no-one was holding a gun to his head forcing him to sign a contract.

Does seems strange we aren't in for him really. Saints have not for quite a few years helped other clubs develop their players. It doesn't benefit us long term.
Heisenberg Posted 6 August, 2018 Posted 6 August, 2018 Saints have not for quite a few years helped other clubs develop their players. It doesn't benefit us long term. Agreed. Our model is to buy them, take all the risks and if they do prove themselves well sell to top 6. If they fail we get stuck or sometimes give them payrises So we do develop players for other clubs just in a more costly way.
Greenridge Posted 6 August, 2018 Posted 6 August, 2018 Saints have not for quite a few years helped other clubs develop their players. It doesn't benefit us long term. What are you on about? No ones talking about ‘developing’ him. He’s 23 not 17. The question is would he improve the 1st team where we are desperately short of quality at CB and options at RB and the answer is an unequivocal yes.

A loaned player is not your player... you are developing him for another club. How many recent examples can you think of that?
Lighthouse Posted 6 August, 2018 Posted 6 August, 2018 Have we really sunk this low? People are actually envious of signing Calum Chambers on loan. I'm not against us loaning someone in principal, so long as they're good enough to play for us. I bet if we were offered the chance to 'develop' Mbappe, nobody would be complaining that we're getting mugged off developing PSGs players. On a different note, I see Courtois has come over all Virgil and wants out of Chelsea.
LeBenali Posted 6 August, 2018 Posted 6 August, 2018 A loaned player is not your player... you are developing him for another club. How many recent examples can you think of that? You could argue the millions of pounds we pump into the academy each year has been developing players for other League One / Two clubs in recent seasons, bar minimal exceptions...

CB Fry Posted 6 August, 2018 Posted 6 August, 2018 Well, I think we need to sign some more but I am pleased we haven't signed nine players like WHU.
GarrettIvo Posted 6 August, 2018 Posted 6 August, 2018 maybe he dosent want to come back cause Les let him go too easilly in the first place? Yeah being allowed to **** off to a massive club after a dozen or so 1st team games is the sort of thing that would really sting for years.

larryhagman Posted 7 August, 2018 Posted 7 August, 2018 Mbappe a bit injury prone for me. Never looks that great, just another bouffal in my books. Couldn't afford his wages, and would never come. Would prefer to see us giving Simms or Gallagher a chance, rather than buying another expensive flop.
SuperSAINT Posted 7 August, 2018 Posted 7 August, 2018 'Boro target Bolasie. BORO CHASE BOLASIE Middlesbrough have launched an ambitious move for Everton winger Yannick Bolasie, Sky Sports News understands. The 29-year-old is surplus to requirements at Goodison Park and is available for around £15m, despite joining the Toffees two years ago for £26m. Boro boss Tony Pulis knows Bolasie from his time as manager of Crystal Palace. We understand the DR Congo international is also interesting former club Palace and Burnley, but Boro have money to spend after selling Ben Gibson and Patrick Bamford for a combined £25m this week.
S-Clarke Posted 7 August, 2018 Posted 7 August, 2018 Mateo Kovacic on loan to Chelsea. Nice move that.

SuperSAINT Posted 7 August, 2018 Posted 7 August, 2018 Burnley back for J-Rod. BURNLEY BACK IN J-ROD HUNT Sky Sports News understands Burnley will make an improved £18m offer to West Brom for striker Jay Rodriguez later today. Sean Dyche is becoming increasingly frustrated by the situation and wants a new striker in before the deadline - it's thought Rodriguez is keen on a move back to the Premier League in his home town, but is prepared to stay and try to get Albion back into the top division if a deal can’t be done.

We understand both players are set to do medicals at their respective potential new clubs later on Tuesday.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 7 August, 2018 Posted 7 August, 2018 Brighton linked with a move to take Tammy Abraham on loan from Chelsea. They've brought in a lot of new faces but I can't work out whether they've upgraded their team or they're stockpiling mediocrity (like us?).

CB Fry Posted 7 August, 2018 Posted 7 August, 2018 Bournemouth spend £25m (!) on Lerma. I don't know the first thing about that player but I bet he turns out to be a dreadful signing.
