Lighthouse Posted 24 May, 2015 Share Posted 24 May, 2015 A few candidates, not necessarily on the pitch today. Osvaldo - Will obviously never play here again but can we sell him? Gaston - Hull wont take him and he hasn't exactly impressed there. One year left, would he take a pay cut for a decent Italian club? Morgan - Will anyone meet Saints asking price? Clyne - Seems the most likely to get a big money move IMO Wanyama - Doesn't seem as in demand as Morgan Djuricic - Hasn't done enough for me, we can find much better surely. Can't remember one goal he has made. Elia - Aside from Newcastle I've seen little from him worth paying for. Toby - Surely he will have bids which are way out of our price range. On the plus side I think we get £1.5m if Athleti reject our bid. Gazza - Never looked like a Premier League 'keeper bar the occasional respectable game (Villa, Cardiff away last year) Kelvin - Could he just retire and take up a coaching role for the remainder of his contract, or go elsewhere for a 2 year deal?

Pat from Poole Posted 24 May, 2015 Share Posted 24 May, 2015 One of my big concerns is whether we may lose Fonte to one of the big boys. He has been majestic this season. He's deffo good enough for Arsenal or United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Pete Posted 24 May, 2015 Share Posted 24 May, 2015 I'd lose a bit of faith if me signed Djuricic or Elia, both have been really poor overall. No idea why Djuricic still gets an easy ride from some on here, I think he's everything wrong with our final third play. Some nice touches but ultimately completely toothless. What's the point? It's not a good message for our youngsters. Personally I didn't like how easily he got into the team when he first arrived, given how well we'd been doing thanks to the players already here. He's failed in Portugal and Germany, I'm not sure why anyone really expects anything from him. Gazza will play for us again, I think he's a good third keeper. That's what you want isn't it, a young player who learns albeit isn't ready to be relied on every week. Gaston and Osvaldo are obviously going, and Kelvin may well retire, but the others I remain hopeful will play again. Totally agree about Djuricic - I also find it odd that some see so much potential in him when there's nothing in his record in other leagues to really justify it (unlike say Mane who despite being out of form earlier in the season always looked like he had the potential and previous record to come good in the end). Hope we move on to other options in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's deffo good enough for Arsenal or United. Fonte is here to stay. Just look at how he speaks about his love for the club. I mean, what sort of player would say those thing and then up and leave?

Lighthouse Posted 24 May, 2015 Author Share Posted 24 May, 2015 Fonte is far more important to us than he would be any other team. Nobody will pay our asking price for a 31 year old player, so he wont leave. Short of getting to play for Sporting, or whoever he supports in Portugal, I don't really see him wanting to go anywhere either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Paul C Posted 24 May, 2015 Share Posted 24 May, 2015 Want Kelvin Davis - Thanks for everything, it's been a blast - maybe we can still be friends Emmanuel Mayuka - Never got why we got together in the first place Filip Djuricic - Was nice knowing you, but this relationship is just going nowhere for me. Elijero Elia - Great night in Newcastle, but it was just a bit of fun for me. Paulo Gazzaniga - Nice hair, but you're just not my type Gatson Ramirez - I lent you to a mate and you didn't please them either - you're history. All fart and no sh it. Dani Osvaldo - Nutter, utter nutter. Seriously, get some help.. Please don't go Toby However-the-hell you say it - we love you loads - please stay Morgan - unless it's for someone much, much better and they want to give us loads for your time Nathaniel - Seriously, look what happen to Luke when he left...

BotleySaint Posted 25 May, 2015 Share Posted 25 May, 2015 Lallana did last year !! On this occasion I think Fonte sounded much more like he was here to stay. Lallana appeared almost apologetic when he won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeintheslowlane Posted 25 May, 2015 Share Posted 25 May, 2015 Out of last summer's exiles which, if any had a good season? I think they've all done us a favour in underlining the old adage...the grass isn't always greener. I don't think any of our top end performers are nailed-on exit candidates. Will any of the top four be be prepared to match our asking price after last season...we don't sell cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To show such disrespect to Kelvin is a disgrace, of course we should be friends as he is a class act and a true professional and Saint. Personally I see Djurucic as having a spark that may be great for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BotleySaint Posted 25 May, 2015 Share Posted 25 May, 2015 Personally I see Djurucic as having a spark that may be great for us I agree with this. Djurucic has barely had a run in the team and came in second half of the season when things have been tougher for us. Some players take time to adapt to the Premiership too, but he's shown creativity. If the price is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 25 May, 2015 Share Posted 25 May, 2015 Lovren, Lallana..... Feels totally different though. I think with Jose he's playing at his peak right now, he's not going to get any better, and I don't see any top clubs coming in for him at this stage of his career.

Jake Sinclair, Oscar Rowe and Cody Cropper are yet to be offered extensions and of course, both Boruc and Hooiveld are OOC in June anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
