[Daily Mail] Saints make formal enquiry to sign Danny Ings
Smirking_Saint replied to Matthew Le God's topic in The Saints
A bit Meh for me, will be expensive, he is Liverpool (lfc or efc) bound if rumours outside the media are to be believed -
Yeah of course we will, Im just saying that I dont think we can be so blasie by saying bye to shaw and welcoming an unknown. Shaw is an exceptional talent, you dont get many of his ilk in a generation, granted a few around his level. If Targetts as good as Chambers that will be very good but Id suggest we wont be that lucky and we will need a new LB.

Id actually be up for doing this The tweeting that is bear, not the honosex
-
Whatevers good bud. Just make sure this isnt entirely illegal
-
One of the better young talents Ive seen this world cup is Origi at Belgium, strong, quick, good feet and very positive, at 19 I think he is well worth a punt
-
Not sure targetts the future, he has barely made the bench this year let alone played, he may well be very good but obviously isnt really ready. I may be wrong though ?!
-
Another MLT exclusive.......
-
Not gonna lie Origi of Belgium has impressed me from day one, not really heard that much about him before
-
I dont mind doing it aslong as I get to delete the footage of my misdemeanors ? What make are they ?
-
I suppose you potentially have Lambert, but thats it, I dont see any up and coming either
-
Tbh there is noone else, Welbecks apparantly **** and Rooney has been ****
-
Any news v4.0 ?
-
Im sorry, just not a fan of Sturridge at this level, he simply isnt good enough to be that greedy, granted now he will score and this will be stuffed down my throat but unless he improves he wont be our first choice striker come 2016
-
I still maintain that was more Jagielkas fault then it was Gerrards
-
Thats not exactly what the sky sports birds said though.
-
Not peroni, get Coors on draft
-
Infinately this, just look so much more able to control the ball in the middle. Crazy The things you can do when not trying to accomodate Rooney
-
How many times have I said that
-
My bad, I quickly glanced and thought Id read Stirling in the number 9 position
-
You dont possibly know that, you are summising and interpreting it your way the same as everyone else. In theory she cpuld mean it one way or another. Its also possibly crap though I was told its 35m plus sales in which case that figure would be somewhat realistic in reality

Fact of the matter is Rooney had a much better game against Uraguay then agai st Italy (in which he was v poor) and Gerrard was ultimately poor as Hodgson put too much pressure on him IMO. Now, Ill hold my hands up and say Ive always been a huge Gerrard fan, but in reality he is past it as the force he once was, the problem however is we dont really have the personel to replace him. Realistically though Roy got his tactics wrong in my opinion, twice allowed our midfield to be overrun when it should have been a 433 and possibly is to blame for attempting to shoehorn Rooney into the team (difficult choice considering he has moments of brilliance) I for one am not completely enamored with Sturridge either if Im honest, greedy and wasteful he just doesnt effect a game enough. Why when employing Sterling on the left he didnt instruct him to go wide against a Uraguay that stayed compact is baffling aswell, the goal came from pace out wide, a rare moment that we got in behind. The midfield was too disjointed for us to attack their core, Gerrard and Hendo were overrun and couldnt support and the quartet were choked for space. The lack of room that Sterling got to run at people only begged the question of why Lallana wasnt employed to operate in the tight spaces ? Or simply use Sterlings pace to go wide ? The last game lineup is just as confusing, a game of sentiment if you will. Crazy. The team on paper looks very much one that is lacking discipline in the correct areas and Sterling up top ? England playing a false nine ? For me he realises that we may lose all three games, so might as well drop the big guns (cough underperformers) and deflect blame. With Smalling down the right we are in serious trouble, how he has got on the plane is baffling. England arent good enough basically, neither the players or the tactics
-
Ive never read so much crap in my life, had a few did we ?
-
Ill let you into a secret Most fans are idiots who base opinion on media coverage and common conjecture.

Can see where your coming from as personally I dont think he is international standard however there isnt many more options out there. He has had a good season for us and is overlooked for Lampard which for me is rediculous. Theres no real ball winner or DM in the England set up, Gerrard has had a great season for Liverpool but A. Their set up gives him protection and B. He looks knackered Behind Gerrard who is there ? Barkley and Henderson normally operate further forward, unfortunately Wilshere flatters to decieve and then there is Milner or Lampard. Surely Hodgson should've gambled on Cork or even Huddlestone or Livermore FFS. As per Johnson, he isnt rediculously terrible, he plays ok in tournaments and was steady against Uraguay, but again Woys backups are pish, an injured Jones and Smalling (who is as terrible at RB as he is CB) its a shame that Clyne wasnt even our first choice but if thats the case surely take Flanagan or Stones etc ? Not out of the realms of possibility that Cork and Clyne could have offered more
