I heard we were looking to sign Mattias Svanberg. Anyone know anything about him?

Pretty sure I've read his name on an internet football forum somewhere.... can't for the life of me remember which one though....

Not wise to write off Lyanco, there's the makings of a very decent player in there and the new coach may well be able to turn him into a class act. I've always liked the cut of his jib and he has the personality to become a Saints legend.

Didn't Ralf say he was looking for a cb that could also be a holding mid. last year? and we got Lyanco.  His ball skill and aggression are good enough to play in either postition. I haven't seen him used in the holding mid under Ralf. But I think he could play well in that position with his size and skills.

Neco Williams linked now, don’t really see why we’d sign him or why he’d want to join, he surely needs guaranteed starts, which he won’t get with us.

Indeed.  John Percy wrote earlier that Forest /Fulham both want him but Liverpool only want to sell (not loan) for £15m.

Time will tell, but he could be this summers Rudi Skacel, or Javier Pedro.

[Saint Matty 76]

There's not a chance we'd spend a fee on the guy to be back-up until Tino was back, and then be 4th choice. I imagine it's a loan or nothing for us, and this rumour is probably being used to speed up Fulham/Forest into spending £15m+.

[skintsaint]

Only reason we would spend 20m on another fullback is if KWP or Tino is off.

But a year loan would help cover Tino's absence

Tino should be back after the WC. If we get Richards apparently he can play across the back line too.

£20m! World's gone mad

Can't see why the lad would want to comer here to play cover when he would be a starter for Fulham or Forest for example. FB does seem about the only position that actually doesn't need substantial investment.

Ralph would probably drop KWP in favour of him like he did for Tino

Walker-Peters played in 32 PL games last season, so he wasn't really 'dropped' long term.

Oh come on you know better than that. He was dropped in favour of Tino for the first few games of the season. It was only after working on being a left back that he got back in. He really was “dropped”

And at the time Tino was in ridiculous form

Not really sure what the point here is, we also don’t know how either performed in pre season. KWP got back on the pitch al be it at left back

Short term yes, long term no.

[BARCELONASAINT]

If West Ham are in for Broja at the fee being quoted on the other thread and Saints are not it surely begs the question why not?

Did he fall out of favour with Ralph and Saints don't particularly rate him now or what?

Surely the fee being quoted is not out of our range?

He absolutely was dropped. Undeservedly, but he was certainly dropped. 

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

All gone quiet about one of other supposed targets, Junior Adamu. I thought we were supposed to be pretty interested in him?

Maybe we are in for him, but its not all over the media because we don't have leaky employees and leaky owners who like to get things out there as a part of doing business?

It isn't that he fell out of favour, he fell out of form and went missing for long spells, quite anonymous several matches, we can't afford that. 

[benali-shorts]

Isn't the issue that we can't afford £25/30m, given investment required in multiple other positions this summer?

Hasn't really "gone quiet." We sign a couple of players a few days ago and will most likely make at least one more signing this week.

We do need full back cover while Tino recovers (particularly if Valery joins Goztepe) but I'd rather Brandon Williams (whom United have said is free to leave) than Neco Williams. We were interested last summer but the loan fee was too high and we went for Tino. I wonder if we're still interested and could get him on loan with a view or obligation for permanent. Plus he can play both sides like KWP, would give us great versatility even when Tino is back.

Wouldn’t be a summer transfer window if Brandon Williams didn’t get a mention 😄

[danjosaint]

Brandon Williams looked awful last season and if we're targeting players like Neco Williams then God help us for a long hard season, I would've had more faith if they binned Ralph 

[Streaky]

Why don't we go get Joe gomez, isn't he being allowed to leave Liverpool. Although I would imagine wages might be a problem. 

Can play cb and rb too. #noholdsbarred

Not impressed with him at right back at all, but if it was the odd game, no worries. He's been linked with Villa a lot, but Liverpool seem to want the earth for their rejects.

Yep, and especially wary of their young defenders, they probably didn't have to defend too much while playing so a bit unknown there. I could probably sit at right back for Liverpool most games and look alright*.

 

*taking the piss but you know what I'm getting at!

We've got two hopes of getting Joe Gomez, and Bob Hope's dead
