Joe Jordan was, once again, in attendance at St Mary's today, as was Simon Hunt of Ipswich.

 

I have it on good authority that they (Spurs) are tracking the progress of Lallana and are considering a January bid.

 

Whether he leaves or not is another thing, but AL is more than happy at Saints and has no desire to leave.

 

Also worth mentioning that my source has reiterated that Skacel's move to Ipswich is set to go ahead come January.

 

Maybe losing someone such as Rudi will give us enough resources to fend off interest in Lallana/Surman until the end of the season?

I wouldnt be over fussed if we lossed Rudi if we brought in a proper left back and it would help fend off interest in Lallana and Surman

 

"if we brought in a proper left back" There's your problem right there... It'll be Mills and possibly that Everton Molynew(?) who has yet to play a first team game. Rather that than the two youngsters going.

You've obviously never seen the Everton squad then?

Why would it fend off interest in Lallana and Surman? Lowe has already said they could go if they want to.

 

Selling Skacel wouldn't fend off interest in other players.

 

But, my best guess is that we need to sell players to appease the bank. In particular, we need to cut the payroll (rather than necessarily generate transfer fees).

 

We've already shipped out a lot of the high earners. Were Rudi to go, it doesn't stop Spurs making an offer for Surman or Lallana, but it might mean we don't have to keep accepting any offer we get for any player.

Apparently, Lee Molyneux has already signed from Everton but cannot play till January due to the transfer window and Skacel is definitely off in January.

Also, Jack Cork is going back to Chelsea (who want to sell him to Bolton), so JP is looking at Jake Thomson as a ' ball playing' centre back - he played there for a whole season in the U18s and was man of the match in the Youth Cup Semi vs Liverpool a couple of years ago, so could be an interesting move!

Interesting comments from davec.

 

I hadn't heard anything about the Cork rumour, and can only hope it's not true. We really need to hang onto him as he's an essential part of our first team.

 

Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if Bolton did come in for him. There were rumours in the summer that they were tracking him so this would come as no surprise.

With these guys off our wage bill we really can start moving forward.

I think the worst case scenario is that we will lose Surman Lallana Cork and Scacel in January. I am not sure we would survive all of them going.

 

In my opinion the most likely departures are Skacel and Schneiderlin;

That way all the fans will be happy because their golden boys are still there.

It will be a disaster for the club of course but hey, who cares about that.

Spurs are always supposed to be looking at anyone who's got a pair of boots.

Latest from the popular press is that they're trying to get Robbie Keane back

at cut price, swapping 2 young players and 5 million for him. They desperately need a goalkeeper and probably a central defender. I would doubt if a young midfielder (who can't shoot) is anywhere near the top of their list of priorities.

Have a look at there squad, they have plenty of central midfield options what they lack is a keeper who can keep and a centre forward or two as backup. For me AL would fill neither option for them so he would be a bit of a luxury allthough I wouldn't put it passed old saggy chops to buy him just to **** us off.

So what?

 

Surprised at you, being a military man, not appreciating that people look at facts and make a decision or express an opinion based on them.

Don't know what this forum is coming to nowadays, there's always someone ready to jump down your throat whatever you say or however you stress that it's just your very own opinion.

Morgan is very sought after ,apparently, so my friends in Strasbourg tell me anyway.

I just doubt that Spurs are interested in Lallana, they have no need of him whatsoever,don't like to mention this but they might be looking at Davis, heaven forbid.
