Saint Charlie Posted 8 July, 2015 Share Posted 8 July, 2015 Might be ok as a Cork replacement but not MS and I doubt we would bring in a rookie for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSFC Posted 8 July, 2015 Share Posted 8 July, 2015 My only worry with Clasie is that if Wanyama gets injured or suspended then our midfield will be tiny, I know you don't have to be big to succeed in the prem but a whole midfield with no height what so ever that's asking for teams to try and exploit it like Man Utd putting Fellaini further forward. If we did bring in Clasie I would like to see another young midfielder brought it to provide a presence in midfield if ever needed as Reed/Davis/JWP and Clasie in the holding midfield roles would scare me against certain teams. Toby would be good in this situation as he can play there for a match or two so maybe another versatile CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby would be good in this situation as he can play there for a match or two so maybe another versatile CB It's an issue I've highlighted. If Clasie was the Schneiderlin replacement then that leaves the central midfield spots to be occupied of two from Wanyama, Clasie, Davis, Reed, and JWP. Whilst height isn't everything and you can certainly be short and physical, that is not an imposing midfield for the Premier League. It could get over-run and in the air it is VERY vulnerable.

pimpin4rizeal Posted 8 July, 2015 Share Posted 8 July, 2015 How many underwhelming signings do you think we've made so far? Well let's just say I think Cedric is the only signing we have made that goes straight into the first team. The rest are just strengthening the squad. Juanmi could be a good signing but he is in competition with mane jrod long and tadic imo so doesn't really strengthen the first eleven. I'm majorly excited by any of our signings so far are you ?

van Hanegem Posted 8 July, 2015 Share Posted 8 July, 2015 http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&prev=search&rurl=translate.google.co.uk&sl=nl&u=http://www.voetbalprimeur.nl/mobile/444654/clasie-krijgt-concurrentie-uit-eigen-land-koeman-lonkt-opnieuw-naar-fc-twente.html&usg=ALkJrhgOOvylODQEus9r_6gzxK6-OKEeyg Cheap skate alternative to clasie, let's hope not. After all the decent midfielders linked would be yet another underwhelming signing Twente needs to sell as they are in financial trouble. They do have some great players who are up for grabs but they're not yet as good as Tadic. Ziyech is an attacking midfielder with high potential and if he doesn't make a move abroad this year, it will certainly be the next. Also Gutierrez, Corona and Tapia are expected to play on a higher level eventually. Ebecilio came over from Arsenal where he didn't make it to the first team, nice player but not good enough yet for Southampton. But if he's cheap and Koeman c.s. can make him better, who knows...

Tommy Mulgrew Posted 8 July, 2015 Share Posted 8 July, 2015 Interesting to read "Van Hanegem"'s comments on here; thanks for them. IMO, what we really need to strengthen our midfield when Morgan eventually goes is someone just like the real Van Hanegem, striding around St Mary's hammering the opposition and stroking the ball incisively forwards to our more attacking players.

Cheers Tommy! The real van Hanegem would be sent off a lot these days for all his dirty tricks on the pitch but I know what you mean.

"The paper reports that Southampton have emerged with late interest and have offered a higher bid of €13m, but Ogbonna is believed to have his heart set on a move to the London side." I read that as saying that it's the player preferring West Ham rather than our bid being too late. Until the contract is signed its never 'too late' as such.
