Him on one wing, the Ox on the other, Lallana in the hole and Ings up top. Fairytale stuff. Also note that Trabzonspor have got former Arsenal €79m man Nicolas Pepe, and are about to release him on a free. He's only 29. Hard to imagine a career that has tanked harder than that.

gio1saints Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited) Jack Stephens last goal for Saints was in the match v Newcastle in December 2019. He played a deft one-two with JWP, did a feint that sent the entire Newcastle team off to buy chip butties before slotting the ball home from the half way line with a no-look outside of his left foot half volley that did not bounce before it entered the net. The ball speed was recorded as 247mph and its in the Guiness Book of Records accordingly. I don’t see Che topping that myself. 😇 Edited June 13 by gio1saints 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously have a selective memory. Nobody is claiming that he is the next Sergio Aguerro, but for a zero fee to get a striker at his peak, who we know how exactly to use to get the best out of him, pretty attractive option I would think.

revolution saint Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 On the face of it Tammy Abrahams would be decent - tall, quick(ish), can handle the physicality, bit of experience and scores goals. Only thing that makes me wary is he'll be a player slowly working his way down his expectations. Must be hard when you're a young kid being touted as a future star and things start to level off and that progression to the next level never quite happens. Signing Abraham now is a different proposition to signing him straight out of the youth team with hunger for games and a desire to prove a point. Broja falls into the same category to an extent. It's the kind of signing you expect West Ham to make. Obviously not all players in a similar position react the same way but I'd want to be confident of his motivation for more than just wages. Having said that, RM strikes me as the kind of manager who can make players fall in love with the game again. Oh, and that's before the injuries are taken into account - what was he out for last season? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps no other Prem sides have been interested and in reality we are the only top flight side making him an offer (and the Wolves stuff is just regurgitating the previous summer link)?

BERMUDASAINT Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Some possible Che replacements ........ Carlton Morris. Despite Luton’s relegation Morris was a real standout performer in his first season at Premier League level and combines a battling, ruggedness to his game with a real cool head in front of goal. Having made 26 goal contributions to get Luton to the top flight in 2022/23, Morris showed he has what it takes to score in the Premier League with 11 goals and four assists last season. Morris is similar to Adams in his ability to hold the ball up and link the play but is a better finisher than the 27-year-old. Bojan Miovski long-term Southampton target At 24, the North Macedonia international has plenty of time to improve but is already at a level where he could be a real asset for Southampton having scored 26 goals and provided four assists in all competitions this season. Neil Warnock recently had a short spell in charge of Aberdeen and credited Miovski as being the best striker in the veteran manager’s long career, He’s just a top finisher. I’ve always struggled with strikers, throughout my career. “I’ve been good at goalies, centre halves and midfielders but never really on a striker. “Ironic, isn’t it, that coming to this stage of my career I’ve got probably the best one I’ve ever had.” With his fee likely to only be around £6 million, Southampton could have themselves a bargain. Joke of the day: A well-liked figure amongst the St Mary’s faithful, Strachan knows what it takes to keep Southampton in the Premier League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
