S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 Awesome. Way to go Southampton, a window we needed to strengthen at the back has lead to us weakening ourselves at the back. Yoshida, whilst not amazing, was a very useful option to have around. Yes, he was out of contract, but why on earth are we not adding before letting such a valuable option leave.

saints-cris Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 Shame to see Yoshida go, proper servant and always came across fully committed. Whilst I can't really defend us somehow ending this window with less choice in defence, CB is an area we do have a fair few options for. Even without Yoshida, we have Stephens, Bednerak, Vestergard & Danso. Yoshida was out of contract in the summer so hopefully we get a few quid out of it. Am sure everyone will wish him nothing but the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesa Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 No doubting Yoshida has been a loyal servant and great to the local community, but he's a bang average defender. When he became our first choice CB it was very worrying times. If he does go, merchandise and home ticket sales will take a bit of a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 Wow, bye bye Yoshida. Leicester really was the end for him. Been dire this season but a great servant and character. 4th choice CB isn't great for him so fair enough leaving, and if we HAVE to we can play Danso or Klarer. We don't need 5 centre backs, so I assume it was a decision between him or Danso leaving. Do like him as a player but yeah leicester seemed to be the end of the road for him with Ralph.

Yoshida hasn't played in the league since October, and he was awful in those games. I wonder if any of you lot realise that maybe, just maybe, some of these players actually want to leave and not sit around being 4th choice, I am sure when Yoshida would take it as great comfort that he can;t go because Saintsweb demand he be here incase we have 4 centre-back injuries...... No minutes in over 2 months aside the FA Cup, out of contract in the summer, was awful in the games he has this season and really has never been anything more than a squad player at his best.

Kat runs him close for me.. tbh I don’t think he’s any worse then she was anyway it’s just more of the same but the majority of the family Jewell’s had already been sold off under her, plus she made it out like she was selling to him to take us to the next level.

We needed to strengthen defense this window, Ralph said as much. All we've done is flaming weakening it in experience and numbers. I'm bemused by it all really. He is clearly not above Vestergaard in Ralph's eyes because Vestergaard played at Palace, I think after Leicester Ralpha has written him off. Not seeing the issue with numbers, centre backs we have Bednerak, Stephens, Vestergaard and Danso. Right back we have KWP and Valery, Left back we have Bertrand, KWP and Vokins. JWP can also play right back if needed as he's shown multiple times. We have basically swapped KWP for Cedric, Yoshida was never in the picture. We need to strengthen the defence not with numbers but with quality and that is hard enough to do in January anyway and even harder to do when you have a bloated squad of useless players on high wages. More squad filler seems a bit pointless to me, we only have 14 games left of the season, 1 maybe more in the cup, and the vast majority of those games are against bottom half teams. We haven't strengthened it but I don't think we have weakened it either and clearly its an early start on the clear out we need. Maybe them going early will allow us to get a signing in earlier in the window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 unless you feel Yoshida should be picked at CB ahead of Danso and Vestegaard, which some might, then I fail to see why you would be nothing but happy that we have got his wages off the books.

hypochondriac Posted 31 January, 2020 Share Posted 31 January, 2020 I'd give us a 4 but it depends on how wp does.

I kind of understand it as he is leaving in the summer anyway but it really would have been better to keep him as we are left light still at the back.Assuming it's true and yoshida does go as well, let's revise that window rating downwards a tad...
