Matthew Le God Posted 8 August, 2014 Share Posted 8 August, 2014 (edited) Reina to Madrid £2m. I'm all for us spending money but £10m on a 'keeper that we don't necessarily need. Really? Reina to Bayern Munich. He is 32 years old later this month, he is 6 years older than Forster and will have significantly larger wages than Forster. That helps explain the price difference. Why do you think we don't need another keeper? Were you confident whenever Davis or Gazzaniga were playing in 2012/13 or 2013/14? Would you be happy for them to play in 2014/15 if Boruc was out injured for two or three months? Edited 8 August, 2014 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH Love you too. £10m is a lot for a keeper, but we need one more than most and we're not exactly short of money are we? Celtic know that, that's why they've pushed us up this far.

I appreciate the comments made by yourself and s.o.g about age etc and I wasn't trying to make a direct comparison, merely demonstrating what can be paid for a very good 'keeper. I think we most definitely do need another 'keeper but would be happy with a no.2 to Boruc. If Forster comes in and takes the no.1 spot (which he must do given the fee) then what happens if Artur gets the 'Morgan' and leaves? We'll be no better off indeed will be £10m worse off. I'd like to see us find a good potential young 'keeper - a sort of good Gazziniga if you will. Someone who won't throw a strop if he doesn't get the no.1 shirt for a year.

ratio_decidendi Posted 8 August, 2014 Share Posted 8 August, 2014 For me, it seems like £4.5m is a decent bid for Byram and that Leeds are playing hard ball. They know how much money Saints have in the bank. But that's just speculation. Would be a fantastic signing should we acquire his services. Great immediate backup for Clyne and likely to progress over the coming seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 8 August, 2014 Share Posted 8 August, 2014 For £10m why aren't we looking at players like Cilessen, Mandanda, Adler, Zieler, Begovic etc.? At a guess I'd say we need home grown players just now, haven't calculated where we are on that 8 out of 25 rule but we can't be great on it, especially when Morgan and JRod eventually leave. You don't need 8 but each one that you don't have reduces your possible senior squad by one. Right now we have Davis,Davis,Clyne,Bertrand,Cork,Morgan,JRod and any of Isgrove or Stephens who's over 21 , Isgrove and Stephens aren't certain to make the 25 so that could leave us light.

You don't have to have 8 HG players. The rule is that you can't have more than 17 non-HG over 21 players. We are currently struggling with a total squad of 18, 11 non HG and 7 HG. Could still bring in 7 more non-HG players and only need 1 more HG to have a squad of 25. In fact we already have 8 but not counting Billy Sharp. Whereas our squad last season was only 21 or 22 IIRC. I really don't think the Home Grown rule will be much of an issue this season for Saints, unless we bring in another 7 foreigners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
