Dusic Posted 16 January, 2019 Share Posted 16 January, 2019 1. I don't think we have much money to spend this window. Certainly not big money on another CB 2. I still struggle to see a Wilson/Kruger dream team completing good deals. We have a gap in this area since Reed's departure. 3. Still feel we will be looking at loans with an option, which reduces the pool significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint IQ Posted 16 January, 2019 Share Posted 16 January, 2019 We will buy a right back if we sell Cedric and a Forward to replace Gabbi and that will be it I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted 16 January, 2019 Share Posted 16 January, 2019 No chance. He's absolute quality. If there's any sniff of him leaving we'll get outbid. if he's got any sense he'll stay there for now - Leeds in prime position to get promoted so he'll be in the Premier League next year. Unless of course a major club come in. Alas, that's not us ... Agreed with what was said above - a forward of some description (striker or wide player) plus a right back if Cedric leaves and that will probably be it. Unless we get lucky with shipping out Hoedt and/or Forster which would free up space in the squad, money for transfers and wages. Think the summer could be quite interesting, mind. There probably is something to the paper talk - scouts being seen here and there - but imagine it's with a view to a rebuild next window, not this.

beatlesaint Posted 16 January, 2019 Share Posted 16 January, 2019 On the subject of Bournemouth, it looks like they've managed to get 4 goals out of that 3 year contract they gave Jermaine Defoe. Remember that deal being quite divisive at the time on here. Think thats got more to do with Defoe not making Eddie's list of favourites and never getting picked than any lack of ability from the player. Don't know why they ever signed him to be honest.

Don't know why they ever signed him to be honest. He seems to be Bournemouth's version of our Martin Cacares signing. Expensive, and sits on the bench, only to be used if existing players go down with a plague. Agree, an odd one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 16 January, 2019 Share Posted 16 January, 2019 Saints consider Leipzig captain Willi Orban Saints consider Leipzig captain SIMON JONES: Southampton are weighing up a move for Red Bull Leipzig captain Willi Orban as they consider options for centre-back. As reported by Sportsmail at the weekend, Southampton face competition from Bournemouth for Brentford's Chris Mepham. Brentford want over £15m for Wales international Mepham who has been on Bournemouth's wishlist for over a year. Orban is a 26-year-old centre-back, born in Germany and capped at U21 level who has since switched allegiance to Hungary. Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl made Orban captain while at Leipzig and recognises his organising and leadership skills. Probably the Bundesliga player Nixon was saying was proving tricky.

tajjuk Posted 16 January, 2019 Share Posted 16 January, 2019 Shame on Mepham, seems to sort of player we should be targeting, especially as £15 million doesn't sound that much for a highly rated Championship player these days. We seem to be sticking the European route, even though we end up paying those sort of fees anyway, like Hoedt was about that much, granted with Serie A experience with Lazio and international caps for Holland he probably had a higher pedigree but still.

SuperSAINT Posted 16 January, 2019 Share Posted 16 January, 2019 Everton and Southampton currently ‘vying’ to sign Man City speedster, and he wants transfer: After a rash of rumours about Bundesliga interest in Manchester City youngster Rabbi Matondo, Bild today have a big look at the claims and give their own information. It’s reported that one of the German clubs wanting the 18 year old is Borussia Monchengladbach, and they would see him as a ‘New Hazard’. That’s nothing to do with the Chelsea player, but rather his brother Thorgan who may leave Gladbach in the summer transfer window. The winger has been training with City’s first team, report Bild, but sees no way through to making appearances under Pep Guardiola so wants a transfer. He has a contract lasting until June 2020, and has rejected attempts to renew it. Bild say Matondo is ‘considered the fastest player in the whole club’ at Manchester City, and they call him a ‘Pep-jewel’. The Welsh international would cost up to €10m, believe Bild, which wouldn’t be a problem for Everton or Southampton if their interest is serious.

Leipzig have a similar philosophy and transfer policy, so if we're now going to try and model ourselves after the more progressive German sides, it would make sense to try and hoover up some of the underutilised pace loitering in the top six development squads.
