Sam Gallagher - Joins Blackburn: Official
S-Clarke replied to Sergei Gotsmanov's topic in The Saints
Southampton forward Sam Gallagher has agreed to join Birmingham on a season-long loan, according to Sky sources. Harry Redknapp's side have already made two signings today and we understand Gallagher will undergo a medical later before signing terms on the deal. -
Not surprised, given the fact he's not even been on the bench for us. Not denying he's a good player, but I would agree with others in that he's not really suited for the cut and thrust of this league. I can imagine he would thrive in a league where the tempo is slower and he gets a little more time. Wish him all the best if he goes, always put in a shift when he's played.

Yeah, he's got a left peg on him. I was going more on the style, how he moves the ball out of defence and reads the game etc. The Lazio manager has now confirmed it: http://readsouthampton.com/2017/08/20/hoedt-go-southampton-monday/

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but this is the best youtube complication I've seen on him. And you can't have a signing thread without a youtube compilation. Reminds me of Fonte in his style.

My take on it is that he came back from the Euro's and felt he deserved a new deal and a huge wage rise, whilst we were prepared to give him a new deal it wasn't in our interests to tie him to a 3/4 year deal which I believe is what he was after. The club aren't stupid and they would have been well aware of his deteriorating statistics and the last thing we would have done is hang ourselves with a player on the decline for 3/4 more years on 70k. West Ham were seemingly the only club willing to offer him his 3 year + deal and required wages, and they decided to give us £8m for him as well. It was a no brainer in terms of a business decision, especially given that he decided to kick up a fuss around the place as well. I think, once again, the clubs reluctance on caving into his contract demands have been proven right and the call to let him go was also the right one. The main complaint I'd have from the whole charade is our lack of replacing him in January, that hung us out to dry for the season given that VVD then got himself injured as well - that could have been handled better. But in isolation, the decision to let Fonte go wasn't a bad one. He'll never get a boo from me though, didn't quite get the jeering. He gave us great years and some great memories.

Huge result for Chelsea that. Good game to watch. Not entirely sure why Chelsea think they need Virgil, given they have an absolutely outstanding prospect in Christensen. Trust your youth and stop stockpiling them Chelsea.

Hudders win 1-0. Absolute garbage game though...

If you still have a login to the site and you can get to the subscriptions area, you 'should' be able to use the '2 week free' they're giving out. Payments will be open again in a couple of weeks once their fancy new VPN/proxy based solution is out, apparently. imwaiting is the code...

1-0 Huddersfield, good goal from Mooy to be fair. Probably the standout player in a pretty poor game.
-
I would 2nd/third and forth that. Been using PIA for about a year myself. It's a variant of OpenVPN, so if your router is capable you can do some clever routing stuff so only certain devices use the VPN at specific times. Works a treat.
-
TBF they both look like championship teams........a lot of dross really.
-
To be fair, he was the key pen taker for Twente and also is for Serbia. But I would agree that he isn't convincing what so ever. If he's on the pitch, JWP is my first pick every single time.
-
errr...french journo for Yahoo sport seems to think Man City are about to activate Messi's £300m release clause.
-
No one's predictions are right after just 2 games, calm down.
-
Don't pretend you're ITK. I'm still waiting for us to go beast mode and sign Jedinak.
-
I think we've got slightly different expectations than Arsenal though.....so yeah, if we achieved what they had - nice. But they aspire to win the league, they moved to their new stadium to compete with these huge clubs all over Europe. Even though they've had money, they continue to have glaring openings in their squad for a specific type of player, they continue to ignore these and therefore have ground hog day every year. They don't want top 4, they want to win the league and go far in the CL. They don't look anywhere near that, and the frustrating thing for Arsenal fans is that the club haven't really tried to address it either.
-
Arsenal should have twisted in the summer, but the stubborn old fool gets to continue doing the same.old.thing every year. Frustrating team to watch.
-
Sims is injured isn't he? Along with Hesketh.
-
This is slightly off topic, but does anyone know what happened to the Bill Green thread from earlier today? Apparently our head scout died of a heart attack yesterday, but the thread has seemingly vanished? Also the players seemed to line up for some sort of silence at the start of the match, then were told not to.
-
I think that's the target, we seem to be after a bit more pace in the final third. To be honest, Redmond slows things down as well - he's got open ground in front of him, but he so often just slows it down again. Don't seem him attack a full back enough, he should have the pace to at least make a mark..
-
I much preferred losing at home to WHU last year.
-
It got better once he started playing it simpler and get to grips with the pitch, but yeah his first 15 mins were a bit wtf...! Read the game well and gets up and down the pitch pretty quickly.
-
Absolutely what you want to hear. lots of work to do in terms of 2nd balls and winning it in the first place in defense. But it sounds like he's close to sorting part of that with Hoedt anyway...
