Saint Charlie Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 Technically he is...but I see your point. I think we'll have to look at Guly in my opinion, he's nowhere near as bad as some people think he is. Yeah Guly is the best option that we have currently, as it would allow Ramirez to play in the middle. However, we could always play how we did when AL went off with Ramirez wide. There are a few options but he is massive loss no matter what. Huge blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 All this talk about Chaplow etc is daft. It will be the 2nd half team from sat I should imagine If AL is out for the season. Would be amazed if we didn't at least get someone in on loan Trouble is, to replace lallana is very difficult... Joe cole is as near as I can think of right now. He won't be coming here Unless Ramirez makes it his own this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 Which reliable voices has this come from? Just a couple of people I speak to who have their ears close to the ground. They may be wrong, but they've been pretty reliable on most of the stuff they've told me in the past. I hope to god they're wrong on this one though.

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 We should go for Martin Petrov - always rated him. Was so surprised he stayed with Bolton. I like that call, although in his 30's still has great pace. How about going proper left field and trying to bring in someone like Nené on loan for the second half of the Season?

Junior Mullet Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 Why the conjecture over who will replace AL before the transfer window opens? Is it not obvious that the forward four will be Rickie, Gaston, Rodrigues and Punch? The only question for me is whether Rodrigues plays wide left or Gaston. Personally I liked the way we looked on Saturday with Gaston on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo78 Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 If true, this is really bad news for us. Team captain, heavily involved in much of our offensive play and getting much better at protecting his fullback. I can only hope the rumours are wrong. If true, do we draft in Rodrigues, Lee, Mayuka, Fox, Guly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWD Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 Puncheon is left footed, move him over to the left side and bring in Guly or Chaplow on the right. Don't understand how people can say Chaplow is not a prem player, he hasn't exactly had a chance to prove himself this season, he was outstanding last year, and not to mention he actually has more prem experience than 90% of our current squad!

St Chalet Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 Some on here suspected a cruciate based on the fact he could walk. Chelsea's Ramirez out for 6 months / season with that injury.

Doctoroncall Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 Indeed. Chaplow is not a Premier League player. Plus he's injured although due back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToreSF Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 Who could replace Lallana? Must be technically skilled, hard worker, preferably able to use both feet, goalscorer, able to defend. Is Joe Cole totally unavailable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 Puncheon is left footed, move him over to the left side and bring in Guly or Chaplow on the right. Don't understand how people can say Chaplow is not a prem player, he hasn't exactly had a chance to prove himself this season, he was outstanding last year, and not to mention he actually has more prem experience than 90% of our current squad! 5 games (4 starts) for WBA and 2 sub appearances for Saints. Many of our players now have 15 or 16 PL starts even those who have never played in the PL before. So i think he probably has less PL experience than more than 50% of our squad. He was quite good last year in the Championship (I certainly would argue about him being outstanding) but that means diddly squat in the PL. Judging by how often he has been selected those who know don't rate him as a PL player. Goo honest hard-working player but the step up has probably been a step too far at least as a regular, reasonably good back up for odd games here and there perhaps.

VectisSaint Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 Silence is deafening on AL to be honest. Really not sure what people are expecting. Saints never put out information on injuries these days. The first we will probably know is when the team sheet is announced for the Sunderland game. Even then we will only know that he is (or is not) playing, and if he is not we will have no idea how long he will be out for. Information on Jack Cork's or Frazer Richardson's or even Paolo Gazzanigga's injuries was somewhat vague or non-existent, for AL it would be an even more closely guarded secret.
