Rebel Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 There are some good young players from the premier league who are out contract this summer - strikers Borini from Chelsea and Guidetti from Man City - not too mention Vaughan from Everton. We should also be looking at getting players on loan like Mellis from Chelse, Eastmond and Frimpong from Arsenal - maybe even Vokes from Wolves if they stay up. Possibly Surman from Norwich.

s0108787 Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 first and foremost we pick at the carcasses of the teams that get relegated from the Prem (Fire sales), Champ (Players not wanting to play in g L1) and teams that failed to make it up from the L1 Playoffs (PLayers demanding a chance at a higher level). There will be some cracking players available from teams like: West Ham, Sheff Utd, Preston, Huddersfield, Peterborough, Scunny, Wigan, Blackpool & Wolves. There will be other teams lacking on funds who have to cash in on hot prospects, make sure we're first in the queue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints Warrior Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 The lisy shows there is more than enough choice to bolster and add to the Saints squad. The Saints are pretty much a very good side we just need a few to cover and make availible when injuries ans booking pile up rather than leaving us short then getting in loans etc at last minute.

Scoobysaint Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 As Wenger knows we can develop a player maybe he would be willing to loan us a couple, especially if they take AOC! http://www.arsenal.com/reserves-youth/players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobysaint Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 I do agree that permanent signings are best but a couple of cheeky loans (similar to Antonio or Papa) can only strengthen the squad. Unfortunately I am not able to comment on the youth players we have at the moment as I have not been able to see any play recently. If we have quality, pacey players in the ranks then give them a chance (as I am sure Adkins will) but if not Wenger may have one or two quality young'uns we could borrow.

Saint_lambden Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 From that list of free's, I'd have: -Wade Elliott -Kevin McDonald -Jay Bothroyd (wouldn't happen) -Adam Matthews -Aron Gunnarsson -Kieren W******d -Neil Danns -Bradley Johnson -Kisnorbo/Naylor -Darius Vassell -Robert Earnshaw -Guy Moussi -Peter Ramage (back-up?) -Darren Pratley Possibles: -Ferrie Bodde -Heidar Helguson -Craig Fagan -Adam Matthews -John Akinde -Steven Thompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 (edited) Championship players 'free agents' this summer: Lee Johnson Wade Elliott - Saints fan, good winger, experienced at Championship and also played in the Prem. Would love to see him here. Chris McCann - Just come back from a cruciate injury. Commanding centre-midfielder, works hard for the team and marshals. Like Hammond, but better. Kevin McDonald - Another Burnley centre-mid. Younger and more creative than McCann, he's still a big unit though and does his shift defensively. Adam Matthews - Highly-rated Cardiff right-back. I think he may have already agreed a move to Celtic, but if he hasn't then he would be a fantastic signing. Aron Gunnarsson Damien Delaney Tom Eastman Aleksandar Tunchev Guy Moussi - Another big midfield unit. Solid as a rock, chips in with the odd goal too. Billy Jones Hal Robson-Kanu Josh Wright - Nigel had him at Scunny, young highly rated centre-mid. Would be a good signing, one for the future and a good squad player at the moment for a top-half side. Ferrie Bodde Darren Pratley - There will be Prem interest in him, but if we could manage to get him it would be great. Been a key player for Swansea this season, he's the glue that holds their team together. Angel Rangel Don Cowie Any of those will do thanks! All would be good signings on a free. My choice picks in bold. Edited 4 May, 2011 by SuperMikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 Danny Graham from Watford. Top scorer in championship this year and in team of the year. Watford not doing too well in the league and probably need to sell players. Would be a good addition. But i'd imagine loads of teams would be interested in him right now.

MerceSaint28 Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 First off...great list Glasgow and just goes to show that we do not need to spend much money to get in the quality we need From the List i would take the following Wade Elliot - could see this happening Jay Bothroyd - Likely to go to prem team Aron Gunnarsson Neil Danns Billy Jones Danny ****tu - fitness permitting Darren Pratley - likely to go to prem but definitely worth trying Then throw in CMS - £1.5 mill approx Nathanial Clyne - £1.5 mill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 Strange how the same old names keep cropping up season after season,window after window. Do we actually ever sign any of them........not really. I'd wager that we don't sign any of Stock,Danns,Howard,Beattie,Elliot or for that manner any other ex-Saint or player with Southampton connections. they might all very well want to come back and play for us...who wouldn't, but whether we want any of them is something else. We'll sign players that few of us have even thought about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labibs Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 whilst those players may be available on a free, some of them would want massive wages. Bothroyd (for example) turned out for England this season! If we are looking at these players, I'm sure there are plenty of NPC and prem clubs sniffing around them as well. Are Lambert or Lallana going to be happy with playing alongside someone on 25-35k we brought in on a Bosman (assuming they are on substantially less, even with a promotion clause in their contract)? Also, now that relegated clubs get 4 yrs of parachute payments from the premier league, I don't think there will be that many fire sales and those that do leave will probably go to other prem clubs. I think we need a commanding CB (QPR have shown that a mean defence is what gets you success in this league) as Jaidi cannot play 50 odd games at his age next season. Kilgallon would be a good shout. A new pacey right back would help as well. A lot will depend on whether AOC stays or not, if he carries on his progression, he could be a hell of an asset next season. I would be delighted with CMS. As for Bullard, I know a number of Hull fans who absolutely hate him! Allegedly he was out on the p*ss eery night whilst up there and was only in it for the money. Class player though.

saint1977 Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 Bullard's knee will break down again and we've had enough injury-prone players on big wages in the last few years. Marcus Evans can foot his wages, we can do better for the Liebherr's than that. I think Stephens will be signed and how long does Morgan have left on his deal? Would have thought he'd sign an extension (which is likely as seems to be the happiest he's been at the club judging by his joy at full-time on Monday). So CM including Dean and Chaplow looks tidy. Clyne from Palace is a great shout but then Butterfield will probably get an extension and Richardson has 2 years left I think. Don't think Kamara will join us as he turned us down in 2005 and that was with Harry in charge. Danns possibly but was more of a Pardew target. Bothroyd and Pratley are PL bound even if their current clubs aren't, ditto Moussi at Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 We will sign someone who plays in Italy who you have never heard of, I'm sure! Well, let me know any rumours and I'll scour the Italian press..

Matthew Le God Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 This thread should be renamed the Goldilocks thread... - Most people in this thread have set their sights far too low and show none of the ambition for the club Nicola Cortese clearly does. - A few people have set them far too high and are in cloud cuckoo land. - A tiny number have set them just right.

Tac-tics Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 Worst thing about this thread is 70% is people obsessed with players they've signed or seen on football manager in the past, when they've not actually seen them play or even have any idea about them! One whisper from another end is Saints are sniffing around Crewe's Clayton Donaldson who is out of contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
