Lallana's Left Peg Posted 19 June, 2019 Posted 19 June, 2019 Doesn't mean nothing is happening in the background of course, but absolutely nothing in the media (according to my lazy Google searches) around Cedric or Hoedt leaving even though they are clearly surplus to requirements.

Hoedt would surely be a loan at best.

Worrying part is the bit about the a deal under 10m and promoting Targett to 1dt choice.
LeBenali Posted 19 June, 2019 Posted 19 June, 2019 Inter and Atletico in for Bertrand according to the Mail... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7160413/amp/Inter-Milan-Atletico-Madrid-lead-chase-Ryan-Bertrand.html We’d be getting robbed with the “less than £10mill” they both hope to get him for. Couldn’t begrudge him a move to either of those clubs, however if we can get £15mill for either him or Targett I, and most, would rather sell the latter (appreciating differences with age, contract length etc).
Badger Posted 19 June, 2019 Posted 19 June, 2019 Don't disagree with this in principle as I believe we have seen his best years. Worrying part is the bit about the a deal under 10m and promoting Targett to 1dt choice. Agree on both points.But if RB does leave, hopefully for far more than £10m, I still think Ralph could secure a replacement from Bundesliga as opposed to Targett becoming first choice.
Saint Garrett Posted 20 June, 2019 Posted 20 June, 2019 He’s worth £20m maybe more in the current market despite his age. He may not have had the best season but IMO he’s still up there with the best in the league. Can’t they take Targett and Cedric instead?

I expect we'll see more movement after that, but a lot of these players will be hard to shift I reckon. Cedric, Austin, maybe Clasie you'd think wouldn't be too difficult to shift as there are some takers, but Carillo, Hoedt and Forster I'd think would be a lot harder.
Matthew Le God Posted 20 June, 2019 Posted 20 June, 2019 The Bertrand story may be a nonsense. The Inter Milan sporting director was scouting Ryan Sessegnon at the Euro U21s this week. Perhaps the journalist mixed up their Ryans?

the saint in winchester Posted 21 June, 2019 Posted 21 June, 2019 Callum Wilson available for £35M. The question I am asking - and haven't answered myself yet - is "is he worth twice as much as Che Adams?" Massive upgrade on Chas Austin, but can Che be that for half the outlay?

Massive upgrade on Chas Austin, but can Che be that for half the outlay? Imo yes, a massive upgrade. For my money, best all round CF outside of the top 6
Ultimatt Posted 22 June, 2019 Posted 22 June, 2019 I don't think Wilson's worth anything near that. He scored a bunch of goals last season because Bournemouth were attack attack attack flooding players forward every game. They scored the most goals outside of the big 6 but worth noting they had the 3rd worst defence only edging out Fulham and Huddersfield.
Dusic Posted 22 June, 2019 Posted 22 June, 2019 Via Kristof Terreur (@HLNinEngeland): Genk’s right back Joakim Maehle got linked to Sevilla, Napels, Dortmund, Atletico en Man United in a paper in Danmark. Genk haven’t heard anything from United and they haven’t approached the player either. AWB is still United’s main target, but no final agreement as yet. IMO since Valery's emergence this one is over. Maehle would want to be a first choice and Valery deserves to be after last season.
paulwantsapint Posted 22 June, 2019 Posted 22 June, 2019 Why does everyone want back up or squad players we progressed by buying upgrades for each position & making the original player the squad player so improving the team
Useful Idiot Posted 22 June, 2019 Posted 22 June, 2019 Why does everyone want back up or squad players we progressed by buying upgrades for each position & making the original player the squad player so improving the team Who is talking about buying squad players? I've not seen anyone suggest that we should. However, the club only has so much cash and there are more important positions to spend it on than right back. I expect Maehle will be out of our price range now with that lot allegedly looking after him, anyway.

suewhistle Posted 22 June, 2019 Posted 22 June, 2019 Not in their top division, but although other French clubs are interested don't think they can compete with English or German money. Another youngster we'd hope to bring on as it would be a big step up from Ligue 2: I wonder what Window Cleaner thinks?

Maehle would want to be a first choice and Valery deserves to be after last season. This. As well as Valery did last season I'm not sure I'd want to rely exclusively on him for a full season. Maehle certainly looks a cut above from what I've seen and read of him, si if he is still within our price range then he'd improve the team and squad. I expect Maehle will be out of our price range now with that lot allegedly looking after him, anyway. Unfortunately I expect this to be the case.

Would remind me of that season we sold Chambers & literally went the season with Clyne & without any cover. I wonder if Ralph will have a look & see how Ramsay has developed in pre-season.
beavis17 Posted 23 June, 2019 Posted 23 June, 2019 Alan Nixon will have a story on us tomorrow. Gallagher being wanted by Blackburn and Brentford
SuperSAINT Posted 23 June, 2019 Posted 23 June, 2019 Gallagher being wanted by Blackburn and Brentford Imagine both clubs would need to sell players to bring him in on a permanent deal.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 23 June, 2019 Posted 23 June, 2019 Imagine both clubs would need to sell players to bring him in on a permanent deal. Seems pretty sure that Neal Maupay will leave Brentford this summer for c. £20m, so I'd imagine they're more capable of making the deal happen. Bad news for Blackburn.

Charlie Wayman Posted 23 June, 2019 Posted 23 June, 2019 Interesting that the OS has drawn attention to Sofiane Boufal's involvement in the Afcon along with our new man, referred to as Saints' Sofiane Boufal. Maybe Ralph has been watching him?

SuperSAINT Posted 23 June, 2019 Posted 23 June, 2019 Rumoured long-term target Francois Kamano linked with move to Sevilla. Not convinced he's a target anymore. He plays the same position as Djenepo.

Mr Saints Posted 24 June, 2019 Posted 24 June, 2019 I see Burnley are willing to let Ben Gibson go, an old favourite of ours. Would happily take him off their hands, big upgrade on Stephens.
jamesfp1 Posted 24 June, 2019 Posted 24 June, 2019 I see Redmond is with Josh King in that training camp. Maybe he could do some tapping up for us.
Useful Idiot Posted 24 June, 2019 Posted 24 June, 2019 His aura might dazzle our other defenders. They have enough problems as it is.

angelman Posted 24 June, 2019 Posted 24 June, 2019 Surprised Austin isn't included in the list to off load, and had thought that maybe Boufal could be reintegrated.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 24 June, 2019 Posted 24 June, 2019 Thought Ralph was going to take a look at Boufal. Clearly not! Hopefully he has a good AFCON to enhance his value then...
Saint Garrett Posted 24 June, 2019 Posted 24 June, 2019 Only 5? Hmm... What about the rest? You'd expect Forster, Cedric, Hoedt, Stephens, Mcqueen, Reed, Clasie, Hesketh, Elyounoussi, Boufal, Austin, Gallagher, Carrillo to be open to offers if we can find someone to take them. If we only lose 5, we're still left with alot of crap...!

I think we'll probably land Adams, but assuming we really are looking at other options, all kinds of players have been linked (at varying prices): - Jean-Kévin Augustin - Victor Osimhen - Jordan Ayew - Florian Aye - Haris Seferovic - David Okereke - Jean-Philippe Mateta - Bryan Mbeumo
