Saints foreva Posted 30 January, 2019 Posted 30 January, 2019 Do feel like we need an attacker in, we lack pace.

Turkish Posted 30 January, 2019 Posted 30 January, 2019 I genuinely don’t know what we’ve done with all the PL and transfer money in recent seasons. Mental. Agents fees, bonuses, running costs, non playing staff costs, new red bits round the pitch, new signs outside the main entrance. We are the ONLY Club that has to pay these additional costs, which is why also being the only club to make a profit from transfers in the last 5 years winning the Net spend trophy 4 years in a row, we are also the only club that cant buy anyone with selling first.

ally_uk Posted 30 January, 2019 Posted 30 January, 2019 Right back and either a creative wizard or striker in tomorrow please.
Baird of the land Posted 30 January, 2019 Posted 30 January, 2019 Say we get a good attacker/winger. Do you think we'd suddenly play 343 or 433? I'm not sure if we're being defensive due to personnel or intent. I really hope it's the former. Bertrand, Yoshi, Lemina and a decent forward added to this team makes the world of difference. I think we’ll largely stick with 343 this season due to defensive frailties.
saint lard Posted 30 January, 2019 Posted 30 January, 2019 Ralph just said.....we have a couple of options to come in,very difficult in the winter months to bring in players....if not,we wait until the summer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not sure if we're being defensive due to personnel or intent. I really hope it's the former. Bertrand, Yoshi, Lemina and a decent forward added to this team makes the world of difference. It's clearly personnel, in terms of the centre backs and full backs. Vestergaard is too slow to play in a 4 without being exposed, Stephens also not strong and focused enough. Valery and Targett can also be shaky without the extra insurance of the extra CB behind them. Even with another better attacker, I think Ralph would probably still stick with the 3 at the back until he is able to get a stronger CB and RB in. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk
SuperSAINT Posted 30 January, 2019 Posted 30 January, 2019 @AdamBlackmore: #saintsfc manager Ralph Hasenhüttl told me he is still looking at options to buy in this window but “it’s not easy” Says he’s happy with the squad he has for now if they don’t sign anyone until the summer

hypochondriac Posted 30 January, 2019 Posted 30 January, 2019 Let's cross our fingers that we scrape through to the summer then. Inspiring...
Baird of the land Posted 30 January, 2019 Posted 30 January, 2019 No panic here if summer is what it is. Today we played poorly but got out with a point. Before we would have lost imo.
EBS1980 Posted 30 January, 2019 Posted 30 January, 2019 Maybe a loan or two in tomorrow so the real rebuild can happen in the summer.
Block 5 Posted 30 January, 2019 Posted 30 January, 2019 open top is my preference. Perhaps an old Leyland Titon rather than some modern design.That's quite a leftfield choice Chez. I glad you shied away from the AEC RT or RM options, way too obvious! An Olympian or an Atlantean would be viable alternatives to your Titan. However, I'd plump for a Bristol; either a VR or preferably a Lodekka. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
SFC-TID! Posted 30 January, 2019 Posted 30 January, 2019 Austin has left. Don’t crucify me but the talk is of a rumour Berty is off tomorrow. Just passing on what has been said.
SuperSAINT Posted 30 January, 2019 Posted 30 January, 2019 Ralph press conference at 11am tomoz so might be an update then.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 30 January, 2019 Posted 30 January, 2019 Austin has left. Don’t crucify me but the talk is of a rumour Berty is off tomorrow. Just passing on what has been said. Loans or permanently?
qwertyell Posted 30 January, 2019 Posted 30 January, 2019 Austin has left. Don’t crucify me but the talk is of a rumour Berty is off tomorrow. Just passing on what has been said.We would have to have a Bertrand replacement lined up then (as well as a RB and an attacker). Can't see us making three signings at this stage, nor limping through to the end of the season with just Matt Targett as our only left sided option. Jake Vokins is nowhere near the first team yet.

simo Posted 30 January, 2019 Posted 30 January, 2019 If we get rid or Bertrand and Austin after clearing out Cedric ,Hoedt ,Gabbi and Davis . Without bringing anyone in imo it's 1 a big gamble 2 VERY brave and 3 hopefully a sign of a massive rebuild in the summer .

If Redmond and Ings get injured we will be ****ged.
saint lard Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Well Bertrand has been back in training for 2weeks.....nowhere near the squad and a saleable asset. Wouldn’t surprise me at all. Either way...we are playing s game of Russian roulette with the outgoings,and feasibly not having any incomings in blatantly lightweight areas. We may have differing opinions on the out going players importance to the squad,but we would be decisively weaker. And all for a fairly insignificant financial saving compared to relegation.

Saint Pete Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 But do the team want him back?What's that supposed to mean? The club aren't going to try the whole "he's a toxic disruptive influence" rumour thing again to justify yet another sale of a top player with no adequate replacement are they?

Pilchards Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Tyler Adams signed and Arsenal’s Rowe who’s having a medical on Thursday with RB Leipzig push Jean-Kevin Augustin further down the pecking order. Could we get him on a season loan with a promise to buy in the summer? Reckon this one could come off plus a defender.
GarrettIvo Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 My guess is we will AT BEST get one in on a loan. Whether that's up front or down back who the hell knows. Can't see the Bertrand thing being true, as it would have been out there in the media by now for sure. But who the hell knows anymore. #InRalphWeTrust?

egg Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 The prospect of Bertrand going is nuts. Vokins isn't good enough back up and Johnson can't defend. I was relaxed about our departures but if this is true we'll have a paper thin squad.

saintwbu Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Bertrand going would really worry me, been looking forward to his return for ages, but that does seem to have gone quiet. Im happy with the outgoings this window, but last night showed we really could do with a couple of incomings.
CB Fry Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 I'm not worried because an ITK person told us to wait until the end of the window and did a smiley winky face so no worries we are definitely signing loads of players.
DT Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Bertrand off is very believable. Probably been told he won’t skipper and is a bit billy big boots. But is v experienced and good player so a worry if not replaced by something better than an ex Hull Norwegian Moroccan. And is Mo really still getting a game? Bare bones.

Pilchards Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 When you think about our two full backs, they really play as wingers. IMHO Taggart and Valery are not great wingers but Valery is improving for sure. Maybe we have no position for Bertrand anymore because of the way RH likes to set the team up? If Taggart did get injured then he would either use Johnson (massive gamble) or what he did when Valery went off but to the left flank instead.

The way Ralph sets the team up would suit Bertrand more than Targett, so that certainly wouldn't be the reason if Bertrand does leave (can't see it happening)
egg Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Do City still need a left back? Nah. Mendy on the mend, Danilo, Zinchenko plus Delph. Not sure where he'd end up tbh... Arsenal perhaps?
