Shroppie Posted 19 July, 2019 Share Posted 19 July, 2019 Blackburn supposedly want to bring in 2 keepers...Forster has been mentioned their end...But, and here's the rub, what will they pay him? Best we can hope is he goes and we subsidise his wages. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cartman Posted 19 July, 2019 Share Posted 19 July, 2019 Therein lies the problem though. I don't suppose the club give a monkeys if a few are surplus and kicking their heels for a few months, other than the fact they are draining the £ at the same time. Exactly. It's just that a few posters are putting an emphasis on the fact that we would have unregistered players when it's irrelevant really. All that matters is the wage bill. If hypothetically we clear Boufal, Elyounoussi, Hoedt, Lemina, Forster but still have Austin stinking up the place, the club aren't going to not sign a player we need and can afford just because it might leave him unregistered.

Shroppie Posted 20 July, 2019 Share Posted 20 July, 2019 Not a chance. He'll go to one of the big boys, he's a fantastic player.This would be a coup, but can't see it, unless he wants to blood himself in the Premier League. The glimmer of hope I found was in this interview where he says he doesn't want to move to a big club too soon. Saints for 2-3 seasons would be perfect for his development.

Pilchards Posted 20 July, 2019 Share Posted 20 July, 2019 More likely to be Willi Orban. Konate and Upamecano are way out of our league. IMHO Mcquire to Utd, Dunk to Leicester, Stephens to Brighton and Webster to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyell Posted 20 July, 2019 Share Posted 20 July, 2019 Leipzig want £27m for Upamecano. In the current market madness, that's almost reasonable for a CB.

I suspect it's not the price, though, as bigger clubs will be all over that like a tramp on chips. Sent from my F3311 using TapatalkThat's our problem. The chances of doing a deal under the radar, like we used to, are now slim. Unless the player is totally convinced and prepared to ignore other offers, he'll be swayed by a better contract/pay and the club by a bigger fee, with his agent shouting Saints' interest everywhere to alert richer, bigger clubs But our biggest selling point is that he will walk into our starting line-up and have the chance to prove himself and be in the shop window for a big move. Signing for a top six club now, he'll get loads of bench time. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 20 July, 2019 Share Posted 20 July, 2019 It all fits so well that even Wee Ross will have cottoned on. It is very likely that Ralph will have chatted already to his old mates at RBL about this lad coming here. Offer £30m, if he stays for only 2 years at least it buys us time to bring our other youngsters up to speed while we earn ourselves £20m on the back of it.

I do wander how many people raving about Klarer have watched him. He's very raw, not great on the ball, positional sense is lacking and he switches off. He wasn't able to get in the u23 team for chunks of last season. Sure, the lad has potential, but he's a million miles from a premier league CB.

I have watched him play many times and am staggered that anyone who watches Premier league football could think he's even remotely close to the required standard. What about his game makes you think that he is? I'm genuinely interested cos I just don't see it. As for Fry, I haven't seen him, but Upemacano is everything that Klarer isn't - extremely fast, good on the ball, positional sense is there (but needs work) and he's very strong. He's also proven at the highest level. I'm a great admirer of our youth players and love to see them get a chance, but saying that a lad who struggled to make our u23 team is better than a champions league standard player is a stretch.
