Or maybe Celtic want to secure their replacement officially before its all announced? If Saints know its going to happen then it doesn't really matter when.

sammysaint Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 I would love him here, but I will not be disappointed if we do not sign him as I think Caulker will develop into a great CB for us and hope Koeman plays him more over the next few weeks even if VVD signs. Yoshida has done well last 2 games but I still think he should be pushed to 4th choice and even 5th when Gardos is fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Halo* Posted 1 September, 2015 Share Posted 1 September, 2015 I think it'll take him a few games to get used to the physicality of the BPL but once he settles in he'll be solid. At first glance, I read that as -- once he settles in he'll be sold. For a longtime Southampton supporter - that sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshida has done well last 2 games but I still think he should be pushed to 4th choice and even 5th when Gardos is fit. RK obviously likes Yoshida. He is playing okay, but then comes one of his JesusChrist moments. As for Caulker, he makes me very nervous. Think he makes those around him nervous as well. Not impressed. Gardos doesn't seem to be RK's prefered choice of CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 1 September, 2015 Share Posted 1 September, 2015 We need four CBs so little chance of that. I think VVD will be the only incoming and that is fine. We aren't West Ham and don't need to have 3562 targets every window and end up with Jelavic and Victor Moses on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk Not a chance as we are planning on having 3 CB's in some games. That leaves us with no cover at all. Last season we had 4 CB's in Alderwald, Yoshi, Fonte and the Gardos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Warrior Posted 1 September, 2015 Share Posted 1 September, 2015 I'm sure VVD will sign for us today. But just listened to BBC Scotland news and sports . They mentioned lots of comings and goings at Celtic . But not one mention of VVD . They even mocked the de gea saga. Initially I thought they were on about VVD with the reference to the long running saga re player , before mentioning de gea name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
