Dusic Posted 5 October, 2020 Share Posted 5 October, 2020 Linked with a loan move for Yedlin at Newcastle now. Decent player, out of favour there so would be good cover here. Vokins and Valery need game time, and as the U23 games are now mostly at weekends, they can't really play in them so end up getting no football. Signing a FB on loan and then loaning one or both of them out makes a lot of sense. ----------- Re Theo, Im suprised at the reaction. If we are only paying half his wages then he becomes a good option who can play wide or as a striker. Is only 31, with something to prove and has always been a decent finisher. Its his off the ball work that doesn't appear to suit. If Redmond, Djenepo, Obafemi, Long, Adams or Walcott were running through 1v1 with the keeper, I would back Walcott to score over the others. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints-cris Posted 5 October, 2020 Share Posted 5 October, 2020 I'm all for the Walcott link. He'd be more reliable than Boufal, plus evens out our cover on the right hand side. Boufal, Redmond & Djenepo all play on the left whereas we only really have Armstrong on the right. He adds pace (he's still fast!) and will hopefully be revitalised coming back. Overall, he would balance the squad and improve the depth and give us something different. Hope it happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild-saint Posted 5 October, 2020 Share Posted 5 October, 2020 The Sky Doris in Southampton mentioned RLC but more unlikely as the sums currently don't work.

saint97 Posted 5 October, 2020 Share Posted 5 October, 2020 Gunn going out on loan and Butland not joining us has to be the best saints transfer news of the week 😀 Yedlin would be decent backup, Williams would've been a brilliant addition to the squad.

Though Villa pulled out as he was too expensive (wages)... so not sure how we would afford it? Also, would then loan him out? Surely they'd want a sale.

trousers Posted 5 October, 2020 Share Posted 5 October, 2020 (edited) Whilst Walcott wouldn't be high up on my shortlist, we'd only be contemplating a move for him if Ralph feels that he can fit into his masterplan/strategy. Ergo, if he's good enough for Ralph then that's good enough for me. #logic #pragmatism Edited 5 October, 2020 by trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Ralph Posted 5 October, 2020 Share Posted 5 October, 2020 How about pocket a few million for Boufal (who would go for nothing next summer) and rid yourself of his wages. Then use what you would have paid Boufal (say £50k) for the final year to pay for a portion of Walcott's wages. Wait until next summer and use the £5m you would have lost to reinvest in a new player.

EBS1980 Posted 5 October, 2020 Share Posted 5 October, 2020 Happy to clear the deadwood from our squad and use some loans to cover the gaps until the takeover goes through. Some of our youngsters need games not time sitting on the bench so a bit of experience on loan to take their place in the squad while they get games will only benefit us longer term IMO.
