BILLY Posted 4 June, 2019 Share Posted 4 June, 2019 Wonder if that could be a trade off involving one of their players we were supposedly interested in ( with some £ going their way as well). This would make sense; According to a journalist on Twitter this morning: @MartinBowery It looks like Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson is off to Southampton. I understand a £5 million bid was accepted this evening. #SaintsFC #LUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGalpin Posted 4 June, 2019 Share Posted 4 June, 2019 Agree. Certainly always thought our young, 'home-grown' players would be easier to shift than some of the people you mentioned. Another aspect of any Targett decision might be what Ralph think's of Vokins. Admittedly not seen much of him, but given his pace might be more of a 'Ralph' left back than Targett is. Whether he's ready to be second choice is another matter.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 4 June, 2019 Share Posted 4 June, 2019 What sort of comments and where from? Has he been sulking a la VvD? No sulking, but a couple of comments - possibly quoted on here - over performance and lack of pace. Bit surprising as some of clips seen he looks to have a decent presence and some skill (albeit in the Championship). At £5m though, probably worth a punt.

TWar Posted 5 June, 2019 Share Posted 5 June, 2019 All very hype this morning. Links to Lookman, Adams and looks like we have Djenepo tied up, and for much cheaper than previously thought. Shame we won't get Augustin as I like that type of striker but those three plus redmond, jwp, ings and boufal should mean with have a goal in us now. Don't want any more than 3 new attacking players, as proven by Everton we'd have serious issues with gelling. Just need one really good cb and a competition rb to be sorted. Also to sell like 11 players (Stephens, hoedt, Forster, Targett, Reed, clasie, Elyounoussi, Austin, long, gallagher, cedric) So then we will have: Gunn Mccarthy Valery Bednarek Vestergaard bertrand New rb yoshida. New cb. Volkins Lemina Hojberg Romeu JWP JWP. Djenepo Lookman. Boufal/Armstrong Adams redmond Ings. Djenepo/boufal/obafemi Good depth there, could maybe do with lb competition too.

The other things we spoke about was Reed, Gallagher, Carillo available but Boufal still interesting Celta Vigo and could possibly stay there. Never mentioned Stephens to Leeds but that would be a good move for him. I think we have a long list of players that don't really fit and are available. I think some will be really difficult to shift without subsidising the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 5 June, 2019 Share Posted 5 June, 2019 From the Echo article on Djenepo. A big blow to the peeps who think we have the funds. Djenepo is unlikely to be the final attacking addition to the squad for Hasenhuttl who is also believed to want to bring another striker into the club if the right opportunity arises. However, the theme of this summer remains that Saints need to move players on in order to free up funds for further moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint WGC Posted 5 June, 2019 Share Posted 5 June, 2019 Seeing as I have absolutely no faith in our owner putting up anything other than a derisory amount of money, here is a simple solution. Put a bid in for £7m for Lyle Taylor at Charlton, looks a quality all round player who scores plenty of goals and create quite a few too. Having seen an interview with him, he speaks really well and seems to have a great attitude on the pitch, he puts in a proper shift but as I say, he scores goals. For those saying he was in League 1 last season, I would say we got Rickie Lambert from league one and that didn't turn out too badly even when we got to the Premier League. Sometimes there are gems in the lower leagues and it just needs someone to take a gamble on them. I still say he would be an upgrade on Long and Austin so is better than what we have already - therefore, we would be improving the squad. Yes, the fact he is 29 is possibly the one negative that I can think of but a bid of less than £10m would be a gamble well worth it if you ask me - better than wasting £20m on the likes of Carillo and Boufal, not to mention Hoedt at the back too. Once again, before anyone shouts me down and says he's not good enough for us, I'm being realistic in what we could afford as personally and call me cynical if you like, I don't think this chairman has any interest in actually helping our manager with decent funds to spend. After all, if we were really going to spend decent money, we would stop offering silly amounts like the bid for Che Adams that we all know are going to be turned down and just go in with a firm offer of £12m minimum.
