whiteleySaint30 Posted 14 July, 2019 Share Posted 14 July, 2019 Maguire is half the player VVD is, yet he's costing more. Dunk is barely worth £4.5 million, yet is going for 45? Insanity. Is this confirmed anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 15 July, 2019 Share Posted 15 July, 2019 Read that Maguire is £60m plus £20m add ons. Football every year gets more and more silly with the amounts being paid for players. And there is a ridiculous domino's effect - just have to wait to see who Brighton over spend on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my G3311 using Tapatalk Like all of the signings RB Leipzig have made since Mitchell arrived, Lookman is under 22 and will be worth a lot more in the future. It will be interesting to see how he and Mitchell's other Leipzig signings, Hannes Wolf, Luan Candido, Amadou Haidara, Nordi Mukiele, Matheus Cunha etc, develop in the future. I guess some of them would have been Saints players if Mitchell had been here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside bet for the drop this year maybe? It depends whether they can keep their better players, same as everybody. As long as the window is open, there’s always the threat of losing your better players, in Palace’s case I guess that’s Zaha, Townsend, Sakho. (Zaha alone would be a massive blow for them.) Fortunately for us, nobody seems to be interested in our better players - even JWP whom I thought would have his admirers this summer. As for Newcastle, no Perez, no Rondon and now Bruce. Long season for them. Even before Brighton decided to sell Dunk I thought they’d be relegation fodder, and now I think they definitely will be. Norwich too, and most likely Sheffield United, so the likes of Palace, Newcastle, Burnley and heck even us on a bad day, would have to go some to end up in the relegation zone. I’d add Villa too but they’re an unknown, and Bournemouth have so far done well to hang on to their players but, as I said in the first paragraph, that can change. You’d think Fraser and Ake at least would be heavily poached as the transfer window nears an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, it is highly unlikely with the turmoil and squad Les has left us with to do that, but I guess Leicester and Wolves will potentially be licking their lips to see if they can break that stronghold as a one-off, but even then Wolves have a Europa League campaign to manage too.

Bad Wolf Posted 17 July, 2019 Share Posted 17 July, 2019 Genuine question: Where has Bruce actually failed? As far as I can see, he seems to have done a relativley steady job everywhere (bar Sunderland but you can't judge anyone on that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajjuk Posted 17 July, 2019 Share Posted 17 July, 2019 Genuine question: Where has Bruce actually failed? As far as I can see, he seems to have done a relativley steady job everywhere (bar Sunderland but you can't judge anyone on that). I don't think he's a terrible manager, but then to be fair Hughes had done a steady job most places he has been. But steady job is probably not enough, Rafa got that Newcastle team punching above their weight, being greater than the sum of their parts, that is not a good squad and he comfortably steered them clear of relegation for two seasons. So expectations of 'steady job' Bruce doing that are probably low, especially when you factor in that they have signed no one so far and they have lost their two top goalscorers in this window. You'd certainly think unless 4-5 quality players come in they are in trouble. Personally I'd reckon relegation is between Newcastle (due to the above), Brighton (terrible ends to a season tend to lead to poor following seasons) Sheff Utd (think they will be this years Cardiff, solid, hard to beat but ultimately not good enough), Villa (they have signed a lot but I am not sure on the quality and you have to wonder if the team spirit is going to be there). Outside chances I reckon are Bournemouth because they seem to have a bad run in them and only really weren't involved in relegation last year because of their fast start, they trailed away terribly and seem to ship goals easily. And the other one being Crystal Palace, especially if they lose Zaha. Norwich I reckon will surprise a few people and stay up comfortably. And I think we will be fine, hopefully a solid top half, outside push at 7th/8th if we can get these 3 more signings in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 17 July, 2019 Share Posted 17 July, 2019 Sheff Utd sign Ravel Morrison. Now there's one who never really lived up to the earlier hype. What a wasted talent SAF gave him so much slack because the talent the lad had, but the silly bugger would still hook up with his scummy mates getting into bother with him. When he went to West Ham you thought that’ll be fun swapping Mosside for Stratford. Very weird risky acquisition: him and Nile Ranger, equipped with the gift to earn themselves millions playing football but stupid enough to prefer being all gangster without a pot to piddle in and the prospect of porridge.

John Boy Saint Posted 17 July, 2019 Share Posted 17 July, 2019 Sorry if this is on another page This seems a bit of a funny one Trippier to Athletico Madrid https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/49022843 Then reading the article Rose left at home too, to explore other options for next season, he is one player I wouldn’t miss in the Premier League his regular impressions of feigning being taken out by a sniper in the floodlights that the officials flippin buy week in week out without recourse the sooner he sods off abroad the better. That said in the Spurs game at SMS he collapsed like he had been kneecapped in both knees right in front of the lino with Valery 2 feet away going WTF as the linesman’s arm nearly fell off flagging for murder, got Romeu booked after an Oscar winning fall on the floor..........still revenge was served piping hot when the dopey bugger stepped over the ball in defence thinking it was going out unaware that Valery had snuck up behind him to scuff the ball home for 1-1!!
