beavis17 Posted 30 August, 2016 Share Posted 30 August, 2016 In talks over Sebastien Haller according to this guy, not sure how reliable but fee expected to be 7-10 million euros Seems the most likely option with the price AR-10 quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 30 August, 2016 Share Posted 30 August, 2016 In talks over Sebastien Haller according to this guy, not sure how reliable but fee expected to be 7-10 million euros Certainly fits the profile and we have been linked with him for some time. He is a striker though, so unsure what this means for J-Rod. I'm also concerned that his YouTube videos show lots of misses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass the Dutchie Posted 30 August, 2016 Share Posted 30 August, 2016 Bruno Martins Indi spotted on his way to London. Probably not for us, but I'd take him as a CB/LB option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why we'd want another CB or LB. Haller seems very likley from previous links and the price quoted. Looks like a straight replacement for Pelle? I wonder if this will open the exit door for Jay...?

SuperSAINT Posted 30 August, 2016 Share Posted 30 August, 2016 Michiel Jongsma @JongsmaJongsma Sébastien Haller is a good point of reference to play from, has good presence, good technique, quite fast too. Bit raw, but great potential. Michiel Jongsma @JongsmaJongsma He can drift in and out of games, but at 10 million or under he really worth the gamble for Southampton, I think he can become really good.

poohdini Posted 30 August, 2016 Share Posted 30 August, 2016 Long time lurker here. I've stayed in Utrecht for 5 months during my Erasmus, and have seen several matches in Galgenwaard. I was really sad to see rumors of him going to Norwich last January but thankfully he didn't want to go there. I really hope that he signs with Southampton because he is a really good striker from what I've seen. Strong, physical, fast, powerful in the air and a pretty good finisher (and a wonderful penalty taker if it helps). Can't remember any weaknesses apart from passing, but he can improve his dribbling. I'd really want to see him in Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchen_dan Posted 30 August, 2016 Share Posted 30 August, 2016 He's already scored 3 in 4 this season on top of his 24 in 42 (2015/2016) & 11 in 17 (2014/2015). At the end of the day, it's another option however it's an option I just don't see fitting into the system we've got. That means we'd have 5 striking options and technically we don't play with an out and out striker/pairing (false 9 (Tadic/Boufal) with 2 wing / inside forwards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiesaint Posted 30 August, 2016 Share Posted 30 August, 2016 Bruno Martins Indi spotted on his way to London. Probably not for us, but I'd take him as a CB/LB option. Available at £6.5m which seems a bit of a bargain, which leads me to think he must be on large wages. But at the right level, would be a good addition. Not sure why we'd want another CB or LB. Because beyond Fonte & VVD, we only have Yoshi or Bertrand out of position so would provide strength in depth, and possible long term replacement for Fonte? Can see him going to Everton.

Saint Garrett Posted 30 August, 2016 Share Posted 30 August, 2016 How do "decent Championship strikers" score 18 Premier League goals for a dreadful QPR relegated team that created few chances for him? Just my opinion, maybe it is the system we play. it doesn't suit him at all, and he was knackered by half time on Saturday, looked way off the pace. For me: - Not quick enough to be a striker to play off the shoulder - Not strong enough to hold the ball up - Doesn't work hard enough to force errors from a defence I'm hoping he improves, but personally I think he is worse than Long and J-Rod in terms of impact, even Redmond looks more dangerous than him and he's not even a striker.

St Lej Posted 30 August, 2016 Share Posted 30 August, 2016 Gets said a lot, but plenty have done it for one season and disappeared. How good was his link up play there? What formation did they play? Maybe he still has it, maybe not. But that season is a while ago now so who knows if he's more Harry Kane than Kevin Doyle. It was only the season before last, 14/15. Since then he's been largely injured but still scored about 6 in 10 for QPR last season aswell, albeit in the championship. Shall we write Jay off as being **** too seeing as he hasn't scored regularly for over 2 seasons now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appy Posted 30 August, 2016 Share Posted 30 August, 2016 Because he was offering an opinion on now, not then. Perhaps he's wrong, but we haven't seen a lot from him yet. Also, source and stats for the QPR not creating many chances for him that season???? Don't bother, he won't go against anything the club do.
