Matthew Le God Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 Lescott would be a good signing on a free too He doesn't really fit the profile of what Saints are doing and his current £4.7m p/a wages plus signing on & agent fee isn't really "free".

Chez Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 Charlie Austin and Fabian Delph would be good additions in my opinion. agree with those. I thought Delph was excellent against us last season at their place, despite them being a terrible side at the time. Obviously he scored the wonder goal at SMS this season, but I hardly noticed him in that game as we dominated and he seemed to just sit deep. I can't remember anything of the dull game at their place this season. Not sure how Delph will be allowed to move from Villa to us. If QPR fail then Austin will be hot property but not cheap to buy.

SNSUN Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 Lescott would be a good signing on a free too Would be OK in the short term but I'd rather we took a punt on Micah Richards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baird of the land Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 Redmond will be available at a good price and has some serious talent. We don't have a player like him either. He'd have to improve and gain consistency but he'd be worth a punt. Ruddy not so sure, he's nowhere near Boruc IMO. Redmond could certainly inject a bit of pace in the absence of Jrod and has talent. Depends what sort of price we'd have to pay. Less keen on ruddy, as I'd prefer to buy a slightly younger keeper such as McCarthy as completion for Boruc.

SaintSteve Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 Would not want Lescott as he's hopeless with the ball.. not an MP type player. Richards must have character problems, otherwise there'd be a queue for his signature. Would not be surprised if Chambers is converted and we concentrate on offensive players this summer.

Richards must have character problems, otherwise there'd be a queue for his signature. Would not be surprised if Chambers is converted and we concentrate on offensive players this summer. Injury problems I think, but he's only 25 and still has a lot left to give if he can get fit. (25! Seems he's been around forever!) He missed out on a Premier League medal as he hadn't played enough games so he's likely to want out. Anyway, does anyone have a list of players that are out of contract this summer or free agents?

Zaha is an interesting one not exactly living the dream at ManU (Luke take note) certainly has some talent and could be the creative player we need if Adam leaves (not that I think he is as good as Adam but not many players we could afford are going to be) young enough to be improved.

What about a squad player for us? From his interview it sounds like he was literally asking Saints if he could join from the descriptions of the club he wanted to go to.

Mallagroth Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 Yeah probably is a little late for him to make much impact in a team. It's a shame, he never quite made it to meeting all the hype that surrounded him. (Joe Cole that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallagroth Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 He's not even that good. To be fair to the guy in his prime he was quality, injuries took their toll and probably some poor career decisions along the way. Here's a vid for anyone younger who doesn't know much about him and interested to see him at his best (some similarities to Lallana in his play). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Bh-Jf9UeCs [video=youtube;9Bh-Jf9UeCs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Bh-Jf9UeCs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olallana Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 Think we need to find players in a similar situation as Lovren last year. Players that have shown a high level but with an average season behind them. Players in that situation can be quite cheap compared to the level they have previous shown. The one we talked about last summer, Ever Banega, would be in that category. Anyone taking a punt on him would probably get him for £5-7m which is a bargain if he can find his old form and level in his game. Another younger one would be Viktor Fischer in Ajax. Had a great season 12/13 but this last one has been quite average. Very talented and could benefit from a move at the moment IMO. Oscar Cardozo from Benfica, although his struggles this year has been due to injuries but think he could be prized away for under £10m now.

The stuff said about keeping bad company is a worry. For the money we would have to spend I'm not sure we'd gamble. Certainly tore us apart for the ten minute cameo at SMS and I've seen him cause problems to very good players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

positivepete Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 (edited) Actually a really good player. It annoys me Dyke and his clueless commission didn't focus primarily on this as the main problem. Powell was doing just fine where he was, then signed for Man Utd who had no intention of playing him in the Premier League. Some players get loaned out, others rot in the reserves. It happens far too often. Obviously he'd be doing better in League 3 with Man Utd B though right? Anyway, with Van Gaal needing instant success, there isn't much place for youngsters at Old Trafford, it's going to be signings and seasoned pros. Powell might be available and we'd be perfect for improving him. Could play in several positions for us. Slightly off topic, but the point of the B team idea is that loans are not required and the players train with their own club and get taught the right habits - if they are at the right club. The question is more what level should the B teams play. Les Reed wants the B teams in a competition of their own with continental clubs to give a better quality of opposition.

Convict Colony Posted 15 May, 2014 Share Posted 15 May, 2014 On loan in january until the summer. Will be back in Valencia if nothing else happens next season. In the Argie squad, 1 goal and 4 yellow cards in his 14 appearances for Newells, I would suspect he is defo on his way back to valencia unless he gets on the pitch for argentina and plays well. If mopo goes don't think we will attract to many south american's unless he is replaced by one. Personally I prefer newell's striker Ponce as a signing purely for the comedy.
