If Adam L. is right and we don't bring in a rightback then I'm afraid that is a load of ******** from the club with us still in a relegation fight. Mental, I hope he is wrong & they have fed him a line.

 

Cedric should stay & be back up for Valery if he is right. Not really seen much in of Ramsey so far TBH, even though very early days.

 

I don't buy the reduce squad numbers game anymore. In December yes, but that will be the 4th senior pro out the door & significant savings on wages + a half decent fee for Gabbi. I agree with all the moves, but come on, we need a couple of decent players in & then wholesale changes in the summer.

 

Makes our financial situation look very worrying. I hope Guan knows something we don't and it looks better once the window is closed.

We got Carillo instead..........;)

 

....and we have managed to offload a percentage of his wages, so are we winning? No? Thought not.

Could you give us a clue whether the new man is good at keeping goals out or getting them in?

One of each, surely.

 

Anything less, and I'm going to be very upset and probably throw something across the room.

People need to wait until the end of the window before claiming we are weaker. :)
Last January we had plenty of confidence and ITK smiley faces about Walcott and then Promes. What we got when we "waited until the end of the window" was ITK "ah, yes, but, you see, it didn't quite work out".

 

The January before that we had plenty of confidence and ITK smiley faces about various Centre Backs. What we got when we "waited until the end of the window" was ITK "ah, yes, but, you see, it didn't quite work out" and then utter desperation in signing Caceres eight days later.

 

So I am quite happy to wait until the end of the window, no problem at all, but I retain my right to think the exact same thing - we think we're being master negotiators and leave everything until the very last minute and then oh no something unexpected happened it's not our fault - is perfectly likely to happen yet again.

Unfortunately, it’s not end of January we will find out if weaker, it’s from Feb TIL end of season. But personally we should leave the hysterics often seen in this forum and trust our Manager. I am sure Ralf knows best.

We all trust RH.

 

But its Ross Wilson and Ralph Krueger who are doing the deals - and both were here during those dreadful windows that CB Fry describes.

There's nothing hysterical about a pretty sober expectation that behaviours demonstrated before will be repeated and the results also repeated.

 

From previous performance, the balance of probabilities is that come February it is more likely we will be reading ITK mitigation about how things didn't quite work out rather than an official interview with this right back we are linked to.

 

Its not a problem Inter Milan have. They've indentified a right back and signed him no problem at all without waiting until two minutes to midnight on deadline day.

Inter Milan probably have a slightly bigger pull than us currently. We didn't have a right back issue until we let Cedric go. Now we do have an issue...................

According to a great many posters on this forum we had a very big right back issue while Cedric was here.

Yep. But don't mention that. We need all these deadwood players, youth players and more signings. **** it, lets go full Pompey and just break the bank.

So with no announcement yet, is this maybe an indication that the deal could be dependant on Saints replacing him with someone else? Might the delay be so that they can announce the two together?

 

Wouldn't have thought so.

#SaintsFC can confirm that defender @OficialCedric has joined #FCIM on loan for the rest of the season, with a view to a permanent move:

Posted

He's been utter **** for a long time and I've been looking forward to moving him on but despite that, letting him go now without replacing him until the Summer is a proper backwards move. Seems a little arrogant to me.

Posted

So looking at our defenders (inc CBs)

 

Yoshi

Vest

Stephens

Bednarek

Targett

Bertie

Valery

Ramsay

 

I think we def need Bertie back, and it will be helpful to have Yoshi back. If a stand in RB is needed from the established players would it be Yoshi or Targett? I look at Stephens and note that he can carry the ball forward. Or could you use someone like Sims, and get him to drop deeper?

Posted
unless I’m reading too much into it there won’t be a new right back coming in until at least the summer.

Valery/Ramsay it is then..........brave call I think

 

Well, let’s wait and see til the end of the window but the OS piece seems to suggest the club are going with Valey and Ramsey. If that’s the case, seems a dodgy move to me, particularly as this is not even a permanent move with a sizeable fee that could be invested somewhere else in the team.

Posted

Maehle starting tonight for Gent.

 

Clearly nothing imminent regarding a move.

 

If we are very keen then a risk to wait til summer if there is a possibility of getting him now.

Posted
he was never as good as Clyne. Despite the trend to say he was better in his first year or so here

 

Clyne is an outstanding right back however, probably the best or at least one of in the league, just has off field issues.

 

Cedric is much better than most give him credit for. As a defender, 1 on 1 he’s very good, his height is an issue, but playing with thick as **** CB’s didn’t help and neither did playing under 3 awful managers for a full back that likes to bomb on (like Bertrand). The past 2 or 3 seasons have been him looking to get out the club, more interested in looking good in social media.

 

Cedric is much better than Valery at the moment.

 

I think he’ll do well at inter if I’m honest.

This. If he is replaced with someone better, all is well. If we'd got a good fee in a permanent move, even without a replacement, I could see the logic (although a risky move). 3 points above relegation and loaning him out without any replacement is madness.

He won’t be coming here before the summer at least.

Lemina has played right wing back. I'd be surprised if we didn't use him there.

Posted

Right he's definitely gone then. I reserve the right to be concerned that we might not get a replacement in during this window and that if we don't we are taking one hell of a risk.

Posted

To be honest he's done quite well for himself there, play half arsed for like a year and gets a move to Inter, gets to move to Milan and probably will be playing Champions league football next year.

 

Even if he did want to stay, I don't he would have wanted to after knowing Inter Milan wanted him.
