ally_uk Posted 29 September, 2015 Share Posted 29 September, 2015 You have been given the green-light to bring in one more player obviously keep the signing realistic who would you add? Me Personally I would go for Charlie Austin Reasons: more firepower up top has a record of scoring in the Prem and takes the pressure off Pelle..... Who would you boys buy?

Pastor Patrón Posted 29 September, 2015 Share Posted 29 September, 2015 Austin would be my number one choice, but since everyone else has already said him I'll go for Calum Chambers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintTex Posted 29 September, 2015 Share Posted 29 September, 2015 I know what we don't need....two disgruntled strikers because they are being rotated game to game. but to answer the question. We need a offensive minded midfielder who can distribute and put the ball in the back of the net every now and then. (Maybe that will be Clasie, that remains to be seen.) as far as who is realistically available to sign to fill that role, no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me Personally I would go for Charlie Austin Reasons: more firepower up top has a record of scoring in the Prem and takes the pressure off Pelle..... Who would you boys buy? Almost anyone but Charlie Austin. Can't see how he would add anything at all useful to our squad. Given the likelihood of injury and suspension I would be inclined to get in a third defensive midfield rock who can play a bit to provide cover/alternatives to Romeu and Wanyama. No-one immediately springs to mind but I imagine Reed and Co have targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 29 September, 2015 Share Posted 29 September, 2015 We have enough strikers. Pelle, J Rod and even Long can all play up top and 2 of them are on the bench already.

Gemmel Posted 29 September, 2015 Share Posted 29 September, 2015 There is a reason why nobody has signed Chalie Austin and it's not on ability. The West Ham comments, seem to have some credibility. If you can't insure him, you can't pay the perecived asking price, or the wages. Cr@p situation for everyone. Fuller made the most of it, so no reason why Austin can't, but he's more valuable to QPR than a poultry transfer fee, so i can understand why they won't sell him.

Baird of the land Posted 29 September, 2015 Share Posted 29 September, 2015 Personally hope we steer clear of Austin. If we looking for like for like competition for pelle on the cheap I'd suggest lafferty on loan from Norwich. Obviously if soares carries on struggling right back might be a priority. Redmond is certainly someone I'd like to see at saints. Disappointed all the previous linkage to him when they were in the championship came to nothing. Would cost a fortune in January though. Best wait till the summer when hopefully they will have been relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintgeorge8 Posted 29 September, 2015 Share Posted 29 September, 2015 Hakim Ziyech Not a bad shout, technically good player in the Eredivisie, makes and scores a couple from midfield and especially with Twente being in a bit of finical difficulty (well at least they were last season), we might be in with a bloody good chance.

saintgeorge8 Posted 29 September, 2015 Share Posted 29 September, 2015 Apparently we've had scouts watching El Ghazi, like a few other Premier League clubs. He's scored 7 in 7 in the Eredivisie for Ajax this season and got an assist as well. He's still only 20, so there is huge potential in the lad and it could be a very sharp move!

Jack Posted 30 September, 2015 Share Posted 30 September, 2015 Would take a punt on Kyle Walker. No thanks. One of the least intelligent footballers I've watched. His pace gets him out of trouble a lot of the time but that won't last forever. He looks ok going forward, usually until he tries to put the ball in the box, and defensively he's a liability IMO. Reckless in the challenge. Anyway, he gets a bit of game time for Spurs which can only be good for everyone else, and I'm sure they wouldn't be interested in selling anyone to us.

Evil Monkey Posted 30 September, 2015 Share Posted 30 September, 2015 Nick Blackman at Reading has impressed me so far this season. Fast and skilful winger, but he's also well built. 6 goals and 2 assists already this season. 25 yo though so maybe not that young anymore.

Martina? Juanmi? The first I want to at least see what he can do (he's already a lot better than he ever looked at twente - which granted isn't difficult and he's still very average) given a few months (same goes for Caulker), and the second will develop over time, looking decent for U21s but probably not 100% up to playing in the league every week.

sadoldgit Posted 30 September, 2015 Share Posted 30 September, 2015 how come we can have about 6 midfielders and that is 'good' compeition but someone so take on Pelle's slot, is bad? Midfielders cover a lot more ground. Games are won and lost in midfield and you need more options. We showed against MK Dons that we have choices up front. I also don't see us paying Austin £75k a week. Bit worried about Cedric so would see how he gets on and maybe go for another RB as said above.
