Unbelievable Jeff Posted 15 January, 2019 Share Posted 15 January, 2019 Re Gallagher , he has the raw qualities to be a top striker , he has pace and size which is rare , he can beat a player on the ground and can play with his back to goal , he lacks two things currently, Stability and a run without injury , he will be a top player one day . he needs some luck with his injurys now but with his work ethic and engine he will fit right into RH system requirements in my opinion . Not said by me but by a scout at the club fwiw Not sure the scout's at the club are much cop to be honest, especially when evaluating strikers...

Chewy Posted 15 January, 2019 Share Posted 15 January, 2019 Poor coaching at Man Utd and now Everton ruined him, Silly boy who wasted his international chances by moving from us Yep, really silly to have a career that took him to Man U, Everton and Roma, rather than stay at Saints. I get Everton aren't what they were many moons ago, but combined they're three more impressive teams than us to have on your CV. Plus I think Kante might have shifted him from the international set-up even if he'd stayed here and maintained his form. Apart from Chambers, there aren't many of our 'defectors' who we can rationally say without our saints bias made poor decisions. And that's without even looking at their bank accounts ...

Morgan has had a fair few deaths in his immediate family these last couple of years. Not great under any circumstances but when you have "fans" getting on your case day in, day out it's probably not the greatest inspiration to bounce back. Also constant managerial changes never bode well for the majority of players. Look at Fellaini. Van Gaal didn't really rate him. Mourinho made him a base player and now Solskaer/Sir Alex are trying to ship him out to some nether region or other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 15 January, 2019 Share Posted 15 January, 2019 It's just people who look at nothing but goal record and find it incomprehensible a player could learn, improve or be played out of position or poorly managed. Gallagher and Obafemi both have a lot to offer. Ings and Long can do a job. But many of the same people who moan about Gabbiadini and Carrillo just moan about needing an expensive new striker every window. Agree completely.

Nordic Saint Posted 15 January, 2019 Share Posted 15 January, 2019 The rumour that we are about to sign another Moroccan Norwegian has resurfaced. His name is Omar Elabdellaoui. He has played in England before, having played a few games for Hull in 2017 but was dropped for several months after their 4-0 defeat to Everton so he didn't play in the 0-0 draw at St Mary's. He was then brought back for their final Premier League game before they were relegated, a 7-1 home defeat to Spurs. They didn't extend his loan deal after that so he went back to playing in the Greek league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he stayed with us he'd have possibly won fans player of the year again.... Morgan made the right decision to leave and won as many international calls up with us as he did without us. With / without us he was never going to be a France 1st choice CM as the competition for his position is and was immense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancake Posted 15 January, 2019 Share Posted 15 January, 2019 Kelman is ok. Yes he scored from the half way line at the weekend (when SarfEnd were 3-1 down in the 94th minute, so doubt the keeper was paying too much attention) but for the article to say he has excelled in their youth games is a bit off. Yes he scored something like 60 goals last season but the standard of the youth setup at the Shrimpers isn’t great shakes and the level of opposition is low at best. He will do well and is better than The Blues but really would be a (big) gamble for the future. Also it was West Ham and Bournemouth linked last time I saw that report, so looks like some journo just edited out the Cherries and added us for ****s and giggles. Can see the Hammers taking him as they have scouts at most Southend youth matches and at Roots Hall. To follow up on this, Kelman has today signed his first pro contract at Roots Hall.

Just for context though, he played 3 champions league games in total and sat on the bench in the FA Cup final. He played 2 whole minutes of the Community Shield. He might have got more caps for France if he had stayed at Saints and continued to perform at the very high level he was for us, but then again maybe his form might have dipped here too. Who knows. It would be interesting to know how much he has enjoyed the period since he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 15 January, 2019 Share Posted 15 January, 2019 Stephens can always cover RB..thought he did well there against Cardiff. he looked very solid, and kept Murphy quiet after he had run Valery ragged, but I'm not sure he offers enough in attack, especially if he is asked to play as a wing back. Personally I like Stephens in the middle bringing the ball out. Vestergard and Bednarek don't have the ability to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had to test himself at the next level and I'm sure he's frustrated that he didn't quite meet the standard. But doubt he's given us much thought since leaving. By all accounts he hated Reed too and was another player that was happy to see how far Cortese could take us and wanted out almost immediately after he left.

Dusic Posted 16 January, 2019 Share Posted 16 January, 2019 They have been actively trying to get him for 18 months, so doubt they would allow a rival to do a deal behind their back. Even a couple of years ago, Bmth or Saints would be a no brainer for a player, but its a tough decision now, if in fact we have bid. Personally don't see us spending £15m on a CB without getting rid of one (permanently) as that would leave us with 6 CBs all on first team salaries.
