Chez Posted 24 August, 2022 Share Posted 24 August, 2022 58 minutes ago, Saint Fan CaM said: Difficult based on his service - let’s face it prices and salaries have rocketed these last 2-3 years. I would guess he’s on between £60k and £80k. Think he would possibly need to consider a salary cut to fit into our structure. I was going to suggest that players don't take £30k a week pay cuts and will expect the selling clubs to make up the shortfall, but as he only has a year left, he might be advised to take a deal now, rather than disappear for another year and see his stock fall further(and wages). I would imagine West Ham will be linked, they always are, but maybe someone like Bournemouth who perhaps need a touch more quality on the ball in the middle. I bet Arsenal are demanding a considerable fee, but clubs ought to drive a hard bargain here as its just dead money (his wages) to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's a fun signing. He looked amazing in the Euros. I really enjoyed watching him. I thought we were seeing the next Terry Henry Not sure what went wrong last season though as he scored fuck all goals. Ramos didn't feel like it would enhance Newcastle. In Wilson, they have their fox in the box. Isak offers a touch of quality. Ramos to Saints, Che to Everton then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 24 August, 2022 Share Posted 24 August, 2022 45 minutes ago, The Left Back said: Slightly older but Chris Wood? By that reckoning £30m is the right figure. Good shout. There was that January relegation desperation though, which bumped the fee a fair bit. Mind you, Everton seem pretty desperate right now. If they are willing to spend £30m on Iwobi, then who knows what we can get out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted 24 August, 2022 Share Posted 24 August, 2022 I still don’t think Che Adams will leave, and I don’t think Gonçalo Ramos will be coming. I think we’re in for a winger and full-back back up now. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gio1saints Posted 24 August, 2022 Share Posted 24 August, 2022 AMN did not want to come to saints previously because we wanted to play him at full back and he fancies himself as a midfielder. Nothings changed. If he wishes he comes in as a starter RB - until tino is fit then thats going to be fun - but as a midfielder I'm not sure..

To then sell Che and convince another one to come could be very challenging. Although it can’t end up a saga I guess with such a short space of time to do business. Selling Che would mean we need another two 😬 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key thing is he must be better than Smallbone or he’d be doing the job and anyway, Lavia seems to be the Romeu replacement already. As someone else said, Garner may be in line to take over JWP’s role if he goes next summer. Having said that, I wonder if Garners ever played at full-back? #saintsy 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 24 August, 2022 Share Posted 24 August, 2022 Maitland-Niles seems a potentially very useful signing.

Paper thin at FB, painfully low on creativity in attacking midfield and our only "proven" striker hits the keeper 9 times out of 10. Lavia, ABK and Bazunu look like good signings who are already settling in well, but they weren't so much strengthening the squad as plugging gaping bloody wounds in our first team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
