trousers Posted 8 September, 2020 Share Posted 8 September, 2020 (edited) I posted this on the ownership thread earlier but might be worth an airing on this thread.... This Jackson Yueill fella struck me as being a potentially decent replacement for Hojbjerg.... seems to have more of an eye for a forward pass than our erstwhile midfielder too, which is a bonus.... and if there's a smidgen of truth in any of these vague rumours of Amercian investment/ownership, then having an Amercian player on board would tie things together nicely..... anyone know anything about his credentials? Definitely has the right age and valuation profile for a Saints prospect MLG notes: (a) yes, I'm fully aware that its a lower standard of football and that the premer league might be beyond his capabilities (b) yes, I know the American ownership thing is probably pie in the sky Edited 8 September, 2020 by trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Corbyn Posted 8 September, 2020 Share Posted 8 September, 2020 On 07/09/2020 at 10:22, the saint in winchester said: I don't think any Bournemouth players impressed last season. But the chance to play in a decent Saints side under an expressive manager may invigorate Lerma's game. Although, he could be another Lemina, I don't know. Just would rather have a player that has experience in the EPL than an overseas league player. Apart from their names, I believe Lerma and Lemina are very different. Lerma is a proper destroyer type, gets yellow cards for days. I think he could be a very clever signing and from the way Bournemouth are selling, I suspect they need lots of cash coming in.

Always struck me as an old fashioned limited thug of a player in the middle. Could add some steel to our centre, but he's really reckless and quite dirty, probably why Leicester would let him come to us, if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igsey Posted 8 September, 2020 Share Posted 8 September, 2020 Choudhury isn't very good. Would rather have kept Reed and I'd imagine he would cost a lot more than £8m. My father-in-law (Leicester fan) rates him about as highly as Demarai Gray - i.e. moans a lot when he's on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertyell Posted 8 September, 2020 Share Posted 8 September, 2020 I like Choudhury - he's a raw talent. Reckless at times, but I can see him being the kind of player Hasenhuttl would enjoy: hares around the pitch, physical, neat on the ball. I remember him absolutely dominating our kids back when he was in the u23s. Easily the best player on the pitch. There's something to work with. But I can't imagine Leicester selling him cheap, nor us coughing up the numbers when we could source an overseas player for half the price.

Look forward to our last min window deadline loanee... The whole market feels a bit dead to be honest. We could probably do with losing Hoedt first to free up a little more $$. Towards the end of this month things will ramp up in my opinion. Clubs see how their squads settle in after a few weeks/react to injuries etc. We'll see what happens.

Baird of the land Posted 12 September, 2020 Share Posted 12 September, 2020 Disappointed we haven't already moved and gotten someone. An injury against palace and we are left with a massive hole in the middle of our midfield when we are trying to make a fast start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 12 September, 2020 Share Posted 12 September, 2020 As we're struggling to find a fee, we should take a look at Delar Kuzyaev, 27 years old, out of contract midfielder who plays anywhere across midfield. A real box to box midfielder. Wages might be highish as he played for Zenit At Petersburg last but might be attainable for around £50k per week.

Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 18 September, 2020 Share Posted 18 September, 2020 Face facts... 1. We haven't got a replacement lined up. 2. We potentially had one but sold him to Fulham. 3. The 'targets' that were supposedly identified were clearly just a load of hot air. McKennie, Ntcham, Choudhury. Why would any of them come to Saints? 4. We'll end up with some kid on loan from somewhere like Spurs or Liverpool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWar Posted 18 September, 2020 Share Posted 18 September, 2020 We still have a number of targets (Mangala, Ntcham, choudhury) that haven't gone anywhere yet and probably even more behind the scenes that haven't hit the media.

Rebel Posted 18 September, 2020 Share Posted 18 September, 2020 We haven't got any money - or very little anyway. We had to sell Hojberg to fund KWP. The extra from this and the new sponsor paid for Salisu. And I expect any money we got for the loans of Cedric and Yoshida - which wasn't used to pay them off - was spent on KWP and Salisu. And if we sell Boufal for £3-4 million most of this will go on paying him off as well. So we have the Reed money and maybe a little bit extra to buy a much needed CM and a RW/AM. But I think we are selling Boufal to get him off the wage bill more than anything else. Romeu, Josh Sims, Hesketh, McQueen and Bertrand all have a year left on their contracts so there is no real money to be made in selling them - just like with Boufal. And the ones we want to sell we can't - by the time Hoedt, Vestergaard, Forster have a year left on their contracts next summer we will be able to sell them - but most of the money raised from doing so will probably have to go towards paying the last year of their contracts off. Our only hope is next summer Fulham stay up and have to buy Lemina and Elyounoussi has such a great season at Celtic and with 2 years left on his contract we can sell him for a decent amount. But we'll have to sell Bednarek who will only have a year left on his contract for less than he is worth like Hojberg this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
