Saint86 Posted 13 March, 2021 Share Posted 13 March, 2021 Its a real shame how badly run our club became in the latter years of Reed's tenureship. So much money wasted on bad signings and managers, then when things finally come good we either don't have the funds to capitalise, or the players are already on the move. Just a shame no one will offer us decent money for Redmond... At least recruitment seems to have be getting better in recent years - and in Ralph we trust (well most of us anyway). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really like JV, and very much hope he stays put, but of all the players we would have lost, I wouldn't have any hard feelings towards him if he did go. Some of the stick he received from our fan base prior to this season was savage so we'd have no right to play the 'loyalty' card. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertyell Posted 8 April, 2021 Share Posted 8 April, 2021 4 hours ago, Give it to Ron said: This time last year would you have wanted us to renew it? That's the rub. Vestergaard has timed it perfectly to suddenly start showing Premier League quality. Before this season, he was absolutely mince and we'd have been lucky to sell him for parts. And now, with a year on his contract, he holds all the aces. Not sure the club could've predicted his remarkable resurgence. Hopefully he'll stay on, but if he takes advantage of his situation, you can't really blame him. It's a short career. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"2 players both International team mates, so one must be joining the other ones club because they both played for the same team in the past". I've not seen any full-on story on it beyond the usual shit after every international break ahead of a summer window and even if it's true, Vestergaard would be stupid to go there of all places, he's prone to mistakes and I reckon he'll get a pass for about 3 mistakes before their dickhead fans are on his case. He'd be better off going to Leicester City or something. Not Spurs. Edited 8 April, 2021 by JustinSFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanh Posted 9 April, 2021 Share Posted 9 April, 2021 (edited) If he were to be sold I'd like to see us find a more experienced ball playing centre back to replace him. Perhaps we could do something like Leicester did when they picked up Johnny Evans at the age of 30 from WBA following relegation in 2018. I think calm older pro would give us a great balance of youthful energy and exprience at CB. Edited 9 April, 2021 by Alanh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWar Posted 9 April, 2021 Share Posted 9 April, 2021 Vestergaard has been really key to our attack, finding KWP with long diagonals, but I think our reliance on that might betray the fact we lack other attacking outlets. Aside from his long ball ability I think Salisu should be able to step up, is much younger, and being left footed is probably a more valuable asset long-term. I suspect we sell Vest for £20m or so and put it in the pot to buy a cracking lb, forward, and attacking mid, and then buy a young kid who can be both 4th choice cb and 2nd choice of one of the fullback roles.

Hasenhuttl has claimed throughout he wants two players for each position, so them doubling up doesn't achieve that. Plus attacking fullbacks generally aren't suitable to be centre backs. Williams for example who we apparently want isn't suitable to play as a centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we’d get 20m for him. Especially given that’s the rough figure quoted for ings. I suspect we’ll get anywhere from 10-15m for him with only a year left on his contract and the current covid world.

SuperSAINT Posted 5 May, 2021 Share Posted 5 May, 2021 Another Spurs priority is said to be at centre-back, where they have made inquiries about Bayern Munich's out-of-contract star Jerome Boateng and Southampton's Jannik Vestergaard, among many as they assess the upcoming market.

Dream scenario though. Think i'd agree with that. First half of this season was the only time he's looked good for us (though he was very good over that period) the rest of the time he's looked no better than any other of our other CB's and I think he leaves us open at the back when he goes for dribbles up the pitch he likes to do. Lovely range of passing on him though I will admit. I like the looks of Salisu so far and i'm not as down on Bednarek or Stephens as others are (particularly Bednarek who while being pretty abject this season was the model of consistency the previous few and can still do a job I feel). Vest also seems like a player other teams are interested in so if we could get a decent price and bring in perhaps a more experienced CB with some good organisational skills i'd be quite happy with that.

The Curse of St Mary's Posted 23 May, 2021 Share Posted 23 May, 2021 Vestergaard and bednarek are an awful partnership. Both really gormlus in terms of basic defending. Vestergaard on second and third goals abysmal. Bednarek turning his back on first goal with Bowens initial shot. Then he ran like a sloth trying to chase Rice who isn't particularly quick himself. It was embarrassing all round from both of them today. I would sell whoever can command biggest fee and get new CB to partner salisu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsaint1 Posted 23 May, 2021 Share Posted 23 May, 2021 This forum is pathetic at times. Vestergaard has went from being 'worse than Hoedt' at the start of season, to being easily our best CB around xmas and now following a bad game today (which all players have) hes useless again and we need to get rid. Currently none of our current CBs are better than Vestergaard, its not even debatable. Bednarek has been particularly poor for large parts of this season, Salisu may be the future but hes still learning and Stephens is average. Im personally hoping he signs a new deal, but if he doesnt and we have to move him on, we need to get the replacement bang on as our other CB options are hardly inspiring 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the going is good he stands out, he looks in control, he looks cool in possession and unflustered. But when the going gets tough he still is as laid back as ever and doesn't seem to change his style, he just continues his laid back ''oh well'' attitude, but the problem is that those Hollywood passes and stupid flicks stop working and actually harm us - but naively he continues oblivious to the problem and never reverts to basics. Pretty much the same as the majority of our squad and that in a nutshell is the problem. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today wasn't the first time he has been awful though. It was just the latest in a line of absymal performances. He was certainly very good last year up to Christmas, was like a new player from the one the season before. But since his injury he has reverted to type. Do you not remember the awful moment that ended up with him being red carded, it may have been rescinded but the error that lead to it was appalling, right out of the Wesley Hoedt drawer. He was shocking against Leeds as well. Its not the forum thats pathetic at times, its Vestegaard. Bring back the player that was playing before Christmas and we have a top class defender, still think he was probably a previously unknown identical twin, and since then he has gone missing again. Today he had to play alongside Calamity Bednarek as well which makes things even worse, we had at least seen an improvement while the back 3 had been Salisu, Vest and Stephens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 23 May, 2021 Share Posted 23 May, 2021 He’s not a very good defender but he is quite important to how we play when we have the ball.
