FarehamSaintJames Posted 25 January, 2023 Share Posted 25 January, 2023 Sulamana would be a cracking signing, can’t see him dropping to our level though.

This is what all middling players are striving for - a move to the Prem and a Prem wage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint86 Posted 25 January, 2023 Share Posted 25 January, 2023 1 hour ago, tpv01 said: Agree with that top 6 100%. Barring any quality incomings we would be best to form the starting team around that. Baz in goal as I don't think he has been that bad. Started the season great and we forget how bad McCarthy has been the last 3 seasons. Defence can be picked from the rest. Salisu and ABK have been linked with big moves. Must be players there. KWP is quality and important player. I dont mind a CB like Lyanco as fullback. Enough teams are playing with that asymetric full back system - arsenal with white, newcastle with burn, city with Ake or Stones. I dont see why people are against it. Adds height at corners and can slip into different formations with 3 or 4 at the back. Modern teams dont need to be perfectly balanced on the left and right anymore. Yeah agreed. I don't think Baz has been that bad and he gets a lot of flack on here when ultimately he's been hung out to try by the defence first and foremost. He's got a tough mentality about him and will improve all the time. Its not rocket science basically. If Ralph had been given a serious striker and CDM cover in the summer we'd still have him as manager and be sat in mid table. SR have sacked him and still not addressed the underlying issues - we make chances and do not score!!! And without lavia we simply do not have the required defensive cover in midfield without sacrificing one of our two best players to act as a glorified anchor man - And at least there is an acknowledgement that lavia needs to be protected by the club - If he winds up injured again we are down regardless. SR quite simply have to get a CDM and striker. If they don't and we get relegated, they are the only ones to blame - they will have failed two managers and spent a fortune skirting around the most important positions!!!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why he has so many suitors. Ziyech has always been a favorite of mine since he seemed to be Southampton's radar back in the Koeman years. His body language is terrible though; he always looks miserable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manji Posted 25 January, 2023 Share Posted 25 January, 2023 (edited) 7 hours ago, Chez said: I thought the fee was all agreed, as were personnel terms? The player just decided not to come because he had expected Man United to come in for him as they were linked all summer. Is that not accurate? It was agreed. Plane on runway, another club ( I think it was Leeds ) came in late. Semmens was told to up the price. Leeds were also dawdling. Ruud van Nisteroy then said to Gakpo he’d be better staying. I guess assuming his price would go up after the World Cup. There was also shenanigans between Man United and Liverpool before he joined Liverpool. when he finally joined Liverpool. He struggled because of the poor quality of the team at the time. God knows what he would make of Southampton or Leeds. 🫣 in hindsight maybe Semmens was right. Gakpo seems a right prima donna.

Surprised no one knows if rasmus travels on PJ's getting BJ's or normal airlines as we could track him at least on PJ destinations and reverse engineer who he's speaking to. I still reckon we will get in two more before the window shuts. If we don’t I will have to rethink my attitude to Sports Republic.

SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 25 January, 2023 Share Posted 25 January, 2023 I know we are all here looking for news of actual rumours - especially about a striker. Hopefully we will get some news soon! In the meantime (and in the absence of the old HCDAJFU thread), I was thinking like others have done about players that we could sign and, having seen how well Alcarez played last night (for a debut at least), it caused me to reflect that in some ways there is a similarity of style between Argentinian football and what we see regularly in the EPL. Consequently, I was wondering if there were any quality strikers we could sign from Argentina and on researching this I discovered that the top goalscorer in Argentina in 2021 was a guy called Mateo Retegui who was actually on loan from top Argentinian side Boca Juniors to Tigre, yet actually outscored the strikers at Boca Juniors! He is only 23 years old and was previously an under 19 and under 20 Argentine international. I wonder whether HCDAJFU?
