Suhari Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 30 minutes ago, CSA96 said: talkSPORT are suggesting this is Saints We were linked to him before. A very Saintsy signing, even moreso with only a year left on his contract. Doesn't shout 'EPL starter' but does shout 'player trading'! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le_tiss Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 1 hour ago, Turkish said: this is where we've gone wrong in the past, trying to be clever, thinking of resale value rather than what job they can do now. Buying cheap and buying twice. I want us to bring in a core of experienced, proven players to give us a solid base then we can blend the youngsters in with them. It was no surprise our best seasons have been when we've had an experienced spine, players like Fonte, Bertrand, Steven Davis, Shane Long who had all been around a while, then blend them in with a mix of younger players and decent signings. The centre back situation was ridiculous when we were in the premier league last time, we were crying out of a captain/leader figure but we must have spunked getting on for £70m on shit players hoping they'd be the new Van Dijk when Fonte left, you cant tell me between 2017 and 2023 there wasn't a single proven premier league centre back available for less than £10m we could have signed who would have filled his gap. Dawson or Jonny Evans would have been my choices at that time in other news Quote We can exclusively reveal that Ben Johnson (WEST HAM) will be joining Ipswich Town immediately in the next day or two. He has turned down a 5 year deal by West Ham and will be joining the Tractor Boys as they return to the Premier League. Johnson was on the brink of accepting a new deal but it appears Ipswich have offered him a great contract with clear first team opportunities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 (edited) Edwards is short for a centre back (5'11) which is seemingly the reason he has been hyped for ages but nobody has moved for him. As a fourth choice to effeectively replace Holgate from last season he could be a decent option that would likely retain value even if he doesn't make it at PL level. THB, Bednarek, Stephens, Edwards (hypothetically). Not the best pool for PL level but mix of youth and experience plus the ones we already have are at least good, committted professionals. That said, its Crook so likely Saints aren't in for him. Edited June 25 by Dusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Matty 76 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Could probably get away with Edwards' height if we stick with the 5-3-2 and play him wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSFC Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 THB, Rodon, Bednarek, Edwards, and Stephens would not be a bad group. Sure we could do better but there's 3 experienced players and 2 real talents. I like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gio1saints Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 The Offer from al -shaheeb to Che is apparently worth up to £130k pw including performance bonuses. 🤪.

gio1saints Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Andriy Lenin. 25 yrs old. 1.91cm ( ie giant) Ukraine national Goalkeeper in final year of contract. Been loaned out 3 times. Now back at Real Madrid again but won’t be a starter. Transfermkt has him at €25m but he is in final year so I think that’s negotiable. Salary current €2.5m ( c £50pw) What a coup that would be and he has resale value also. 0.5/100 he would join Saints but that would be a fucking statement… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gio1saints Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 He would be obvious first choice gk. Our biggest signing ever since Shilts in that role and boy what a sigh of relief for everyone to know we have got that guy at the back in goals. Massive confidence inspiring move ahead of the season. We can but dream though as he obviously wants a bigger than SFC club move - apparently wanted pay parity with Courtois who is apparently on €15m pa! Two signings- one at CF and one at GK to be statement signings. Top quality starters. Thats what I’d like to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing I would like more than to sign a statement striker. But unfortunately it takes more than just money - Unless you have wheelbarrows full, which FFP won't allow us. Remember what happened with Cody Gakpo. We'll be the 'smallest/least sexy' of 5 clubs in the running and we'll loose out. (Either that or we're reliant on the mentalist religious nut we're signing scoring the correct number of goals in the game where god gives him a sign 😔 🙄 😆) Unfortunately the chances of us pulling another Potters Heron seem unlikely Edited June 25 by Patches O Houlihan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
