Saint Garrett Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 There isn't really much between Cedric and Martina, only difference is that Cedric had a decent Euros - Arguably, Martina was the better player last season, and he's poor. It's why the majority of fans wanted us to sign a new RB to take the starting spot and one of those to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Interesting reading what people like Art, Alpine, Batman, Dalek, Glasgow et al trot out. Cobblers is never interesting I would have thoughtbut maybe to you? Not sure who they expect SFC to sign in order to make them happy. The club are not going to buy people like Remy and Bony that sort of player is not what they want. I still think we need a striker but finding one who is going to score regularly is very difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 (edited) LATEST ON WILSHERE Sky Sports News HQ reporter Andy Burton is all over the Jack Wilshere story, and now says Bournemouth and AS Roma are the two leading contenders... "It does seem to me now to be a straight race between Bournemouth and Roma," Burton said. "He’s probably fifth choice in terms of central midfielders right now at the Emirates. I looked through the Roma squad and there are six players in the kinds of positions that Wilshere would want to be playing in. "It seems to be that it’s starting to dawn on him that maybe he's not going to get the football at Roma that he needs. Yes, he has friends there like Wojciech Szczesny and Thomas Vermaelen, but it seems to be a two horse race and could that pendulum be swinging back towards Bournemouth? We will have to wait and see." WILSHERE CHASE HEATS BACK UP Sky sources understand AC Milan have made a late bid to sign Jack Wilshere on loan from Arsenal. Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Roma are all interested in the England midfielder, with a source at Roma saying they think they’ve got a “slight possibility” of winning the race today. Bournemouth remain the favourites. Edited 31 August, 2016 by SuperSAINT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think we need a striker but finding one who is going to score regularly is very difficult Remy and Bony will score you goals and that's why we should be looking at the type of player - not exclusively..... But you can sign the Pierre horjberg's with one eye on a profit in 2 years but you could and can also be flexible when proven premiership quality becomes available? Since when has signing proven premiership players become an odd thing to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintSeb Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Remy and Bony will score you goals and that's why we should be looking at the type of player - not exclusively..... But you can sign the Pierre horjberg's with one eye on a profit in 2 years but you could and can also be flexible when proven premiership quality becomes available? Since when has signing proven premiership players become an odd thing to do? I actually agree up to a point. I'd imagine their wages are a deal breaker for us. From a purely playing perspective though, Remy or Bony could be very good for us. Remy especially, his pace in the split striker role could be very dangerous.

Not sure I agree with the bit in bold, what has given you that impression? I said I think he was the better player LAST SEASON. I think he was. Cedric isn't good enough defensively for me. Not sure on the stats, but Martina was first choice for the second half of the season, and played in some important games last season, especially when we were winning games.

I think fans have to be realistic and we have to accept how the club is being run with an emphasis on developing players. It would be great to bring in big name players like we did in the 1970s but today's players at top six clubs are are on huge wages which the club cannot afford or will not pay.

dellboysaint Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Thanks Les and Claude for an uninspiring transfer window and beginning to the season.
