Where ever we appear very weak within the squad Which right now, appear to be a wide player. But we will see in a few months Agreed... With the caveat that we do not let Boruc, Schneiderlin or Rodrigues go until January at the earliest, when we can replace again, I'm reasonably chuffed. Cut out the deadwood that didn't want to be here and got some decent replacements in for 2/3 the price leaving a fair amount more for salaries,strengthening later or some promising youngsters for the academy/development projects. At least we should be sustainable which is more than most clubs can say and was Marcus's watchword for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 13 August, 2014 Share Posted 13 August, 2014 Very disappointing if true. Cannot say that we have strengthened from last season in any way.

In which case would make me slightly happier. Whilst I disagree with some of the signings, at least we will have then attempted to get a bit more squad depth and Ralph could feasibly argue that he was telling the truth.

Wasting a huge sum on a mediocre attacker in long and no right back replacement. Don't know enough about Gardos to know if he's the of the same quality as Lovren/Killer, which is what he needs to be.

I don't know if Jack Stephens is ready to play regularly in the Prem, but the club will want him to have a pathway to the team. I think we'll see him fight it out with Jobs for the number four CB in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 13 August, 2014 Share Posted 13 August, 2014 After bringing in so much cash and having such clear weaknesses last season it would be a shame to start the season with only one genuine winger in Isgrove, one proper right back and only three proper centre backs (Hooiveld has proven himself inept now).

What's to say Jack Stephens or Jason Mccarthy won't step up in a similar way? It could happen but we should hardly be relying on them to immediately step up. Think decision to flog Chambers is going to haunt Saints and not having brought in anyone else who can play there is a very dangerous gamble on top of that. I'd happily take Kelly from Liverpool now.

If Boruc stays we have sorted GK. If he doesnt we need another no 2 keeper IMO. CB is worse than last year, as would be right back. Out wide worse than our first year in the PL. Puncheon would start every game now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB is really no worse off than it was at this time last year, if we're honest.

Unless Gardos is equal to Lovren then we are worse off than last season as no other personnel has changed at CB. Chances are he won't be as good as Lovren which is no disgrace. But doesnt alter the fact that our CB will collectively be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
