Saint IQ Posted 13 January, 2016 Share Posted 13 January, 2016 Hope we can drive that one through We could park the relegation talk if it happens Could be a bumper price though etc etc He's not wanted, 29 and only 18 months left on his contract. Wages might be high but nothing a PL club couldn't afford. Probably want the same as what Long is on. So don't think they'd want that much for him really. As I said Ramirez swap would be good for all partys... Ramirez proven in Serie A and still young. Honda proven internationally but nearing 30.

beavis17 Posted 13 January, 2016 Share Posted 13 January, 2016 Do you remember when Paul Jones went there after they had an injury crisis in goal? A Liverpudlian reporter on talksport earlier who thinks he knows everything about his club complained "A loan player from southampton, that's never happened before and just says it all really". Classic scouse delusion from him, thinks 1992-2004 never happened Plus the fact he's joined on loan from QPR and not us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hans gruber Posted 13 January, 2016 Share Posted 13 January, 2016 Gets goals from midfield, which we've been missing. His name is jonjo shelvey not Jesus shelvey. His goal scoring record is no better than gastons. Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordic Saint Posted 13 January, 2016 Share Posted 13 January, 2016 We need an attacking midfielder who can play 90 mins regularly and score goals. How many times has Honda played 90 mins in Serie A this season and how many goals has he scored? Like Stekelenburg, he was good 4 years ago, but we need players who are good now, like Borja Baston and Denis Suarez, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADutchSaint Posted 13 January, 2016 Share Posted 13 January, 2016 Honda would be a 'no go' for me, had way too many long term injuries in the past and rumors been going on for years that he had multiple health problems/diseases, which i believe cause he aint the player anymore that i remember. He used to be quick and light on his feet and explosive but thats all gone really. Played pretty good against Roma last weekend and he's still is a good technical player but i think he would struggle a lot with the pace of the PL, especially if your gonna put him on the field as a attacking midfielder.

ADutchSaint Posted 13 January, 2016 Share Posted 13 January, 2016 Why does that role require pace? Some of the best playing there, Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes didn't have any. Van der vaart didn't either. It's more about picking out a pass, timing and finishing isn't it? Of course passing and finishing is more important in that role and im not saying its required per se, but when your not on the level of a Scholes and you play in a team thats not dominating the ball position every week i think you will struggle, especially in modern day football. And it worries me if a player like Honda, who did have that quickness/sharpness/explosiveness (what ever you want to call it) in the past but he now plays in one, well i call it a gear, but he doesnt/cant get out of it anymore. So either he has not been in shape for years or something else is going on, combine that with the rumors about him having virus infections and graves disease and all kinds of stuff plus the long term injuries he had in the past, then no thanks. Way too big of a risk for a guy who turns 30 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'd be fit for Premier League football. U He's still rated far higher than Lee ever was hence why Ac Milan got him. Also just because he's Japanese doesn't mean he wouldn't make an impact in this league, Leciester striker seems to be doing well in his first season.

thorpie the sinner Posted 14 January, 2016 Share Posted 14 January, 2016 With the win last night and Pelle back to fitness, I am seriously doubting we will spend this Jan! Even by Saints standards though, the lack of rumours is quite remarkable though! Thing is, I would take no signings, solid mid table and buy wisely in summer any day of week.

Fwiw I have seen nothing from him to suggest that. Apologies - badly worded on my part... His overall performance looked like a player who didn't want to be here, didn't track his man multiple times, didn't press when the others were up top, he only came alive when he had the ball. I've seen him putting in a much better shift than last night, not sure what his running stats were in the game. His mind didn't look focused either, he would have buried the majority of those chances he had last night last season. If he was fully focused he would have scored IMO.

saint1977 Posted 14 January, 2016 Share Posted 14 January, 2016 Mane couldn't finish anything last night - looked like he didnt want to be here to me. Absolutely clattered into Gomes last night in an attempt to reach a through ball first, risking injury and Gomes came off worst! Can't see it, Mane was also one of our hardest-working players v Palace on Sat, along with Romeu and Clasie. He's lacking some confidence at present and needs a goal, hence his decision-making isn't great but he's still causing teams plenty of problems and a goal on Saturday will do him a world of good. If you want to single out someone recently who has been playing like he didn't want to be here, Victor is your man. Think Victor has a few weeks on the bench until Romeu/Clasie/David get a suspension or knock. In fact, I'd rather have Harrison Reed as the next CM cab off the rank.
