SuperSAINT Posted 4 May, 2013 Share Posted 4 May, 2013 We'd do well to attract anyone better than those 2. Yep. Just the fact that we're linked to players that Napoli want says a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 4 May, 2013 Share Posted 4 May, 2013 We'd do well to attract anyone better than those 2. Agree. Both top players. Shows the ambition of the club though! Lets hope we can find equals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanRG Posted 4 May, 2013 Share Posted 4 May, 2013 Yep. Just the fact that we're linked to players that Napoli want says a lot. And AC Milan supposedly, in the case of Astori. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Ash Posted 5 May, 2013 Share Posted 5 May, 2013 Sorry to say it but I guess you dont follow football other than in England then?? Both play for their national teams, even if not regurly, and play in a big league.... Not really, no. Don't have the time but if others do and know decent players worldwide then I'm happy with their judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 5 May, 2013 Share Posted 5 May, 2013 I think yesterday shows how lacking our squad depth was, FWIW, we did ok but I like everyone else was worried by a lack of Morgan and Yoshi. Even with Ramirez banned, as much as he wasnt really setting the eorld slight we look woefully short. We need new first choice; Striker CM CB And then need to look at someone who can cover LB and RB (this could always be a player who can be versatile) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 5 May, 2013 Share Posted 5 May, 2013 I don't go in there because it's usually full of made up cobblers, but has the HCDAJFU thread got a list of these rumours and which paper makes them up ? If not, can we have a list by paper so we can compile a hit-rate for each media outlet and prove again that (IIRC) 20% is a fantastic accuracy rate for newspaper transfer speculation ?

MOSaint Posted 5 May, 2013 Share Posted 5 May, 2013 Old quote, no real information on the supposed deal. misinterpretation of a recent article (The bit about two players being close to signing was added by the author of BBC article and was not a quote from Pochettino himself) Ruiz is a decent player who CDAJFU, but there's very little substance to the article.

Saint-Armstrong Posted 5 May, 2013 Share Posted 5 May, 2013 Just asked a friend working in Spain covering La Liga about this guy... "Like him, although he's not spectacular.

SaintRichmond Posted 6 May, 2013 Share Posted 6 May, 2013 IMHO at best we will get some of Pochettino's old mates from Espanyol ..... ie World Class over the hill players that 1000's of other Clubs are scrambling to sign Pochettino would be better off concentrating on saving Saints from relegation. It's almost as if no one thinks that relegation could happen to us Good job Adkins isn't in charge .... Cortese would sack him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 6 May, 2013 Share Posted 6 May, 2013 Jeez. This article is just put together by a tabloid, there are no direct quotes in it and there's nothing to suggest that we're even anywhere near being interested in him. Yet somehow that's spun by the geniuses (good old Richmond) on here to make it look as if MP and NC aren't focused, brilliant. I don't get football fans, especially a fair few who post on here. The fact is he won't win, because we have some know it all idiots on these forums who would be so much better than him and NC. Give it a go, would love to see it.

saintalton Posted 7 May, 2013 Share Posted 7 May, 2013 I would like us to sign players with pace and height, dont have any names to mind, but i think to fit our new style we need better athletes. The Strachen-era proved you dont need to be technically the best if you want to compete at the highest level, you need to be physically stronger and fitter than the opponents. Man Utd are fine example of this, not the best individual skilled players but absolute athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
