Baird of the land Posted 29 July, 2014 Share Posted 29 July, 2014 Personally think Boruc will remain #1 even if we sign Forster. No way Forster will come to sit on bench. Don't believe Boruc will sit on bench either. Either he'll go now or in jan if we sign Forster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelman Posted 29 July, 2014 Share Posted 29 July, 2014 I think Boruc is OK. Why are we so intent on signing another goalie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 29 July, 2014 Share Posted 29 July, 2014 With so many places to fill, am I the only one who's less bothered about bringing a keeper in at the moment? Can quite easily see Boruc going off the boil if he becomes no.2. Well, I'm with you. Not really a priority in our current state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derry Posted 29 July, 2014 Share Posted 29 July, 2014 Just a little perspective, where exactly are we compared with the team that finished last season, Who have we lost. Lambert replaced by Pelle, Lallana replaced by Tadic, Shaw, Lovren, Chambers. Chambers was close to Clyne but a backup nonetheless. So we have left back and centre back still to be replaced hardly a meltdown. If we bring in 5/6 good players including a top class goalkeeper we will have a better squad than last year That doesn't look impossible to do especially if we bring in good footballers who know the game.

Not sure I agree. It ignores other teams strengthening their line-ups. A new left back, centre back, right back, and attacker and we might have numbers to say we've replaced shaw, lovren, chambers and covered for Jrod. They still have to play to same very high standard. Hoping newfound board toughness and clever non panic buys can put us on right track though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I'm wrong but this one makes no sense for anyone. "makes no sense to anyone"? I think it makes sense to Saints. An experienced (both in age and premiership) CB (we need CB's) and also a top signing that may convince others that we are serious (even if you do not rate him a WC semi finalist has to seen as a positive sign of intent?). From Vlaar's perspective it's a good pay rise or signing on fee (I assume), an extended contract (which at his age must be a plus) and a chance to work with RK again (I have no idea if that is a positive but will assume for now that it is).

Hope I'm wrong but this one makes no sense for anyone. I reckon we'll end up seeing Rojo and Virgil. Think Vlaar, for his age, will end up being a little too expensive. Virgil will be the same price/a little cheaper and has 4-5 years on Vlaar. (potentially his international replacement too). I wouldn't expect the club to go for Vlaar if they feel they can get those two. If we do end up with Vlaar, it won't be too bad, but will end up being at the end of the window and have scary comparisons with the rushed through Wayne Thomas deal.
