SKD Posted 29 January, 2017 Share Posted 29 January, 2017 Starting to wonder if Forster is carrying and injury & Mccarthy's injury is much more severe than initially seemed. Otherwise seems a crazy move to be bringing in another keeper. Whoever recommended signing Taylor needs kicking out if he's not good enough to even play in the game we deliberately threw against his old club. Perhaps the club see him as a replacement for Gazzaniga, and long term Forster replacement.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a virtual club record signing in a window that the Club usually do very little business as its not good value and usually a sign the summer recruitment wasn't sufficient. What do you expect exactly?! You're probably right; January window, traditionally not a time to recruit heavily. Just the same, I was probably hoping for Sakho to come in at a reduced fee, in part paid for by Fonte's move, and given the growing realisation that Romeu is holding our midfield together - Davo getting older and picking up a few more knocks, I would be looking at a midfield reinforcement and then there's the lack of knowledge about Gabbiadini and what he can bring.

There when Franny scored Posted 30 January, 2017 Share Posted 30 January, 2017 Serdar Tasci due for Southampton medical today SIMON JONES: Serdar Tasci is due to have a medical at Southampton today. The 29-year-old has had late interest from other Premier League clubs but is expected to link up with Claude Puel. Southampton are looking to sign Nice goalkeeper Mouez Hassen also today and remain in talks with Napoli over Manolo Gabbiadini with the Italians pushing for £17m in one payment. Southampton have offered £13.5m plus £3.5m in add-ons and ten per cent sell-on. Gabbiadini has already agreed to join Southampton if the clubs can agree on the fee this morning.

Saint Troy Posted 30 January, 2017 Share Posted 30 January, 2017 With Tasci being a loan, we are still looking at going into next season needing to replace both Jose & Virgil. one step at a time! If virgil goes (and its very easy to see that he could) we would then be in a different position financially and in terms of whats available in the market of a summer window to get a replacement in. If Tasci comes in we've no idea yet what his terms will be and perhaps he can do well and stay. Stephens and gardos will have had another 6 months by then and we will know where we are CB wise.

SonicBoom Posted 30 January, 2017 Share Posted 30 January, 2017 I don't think Gardos should be written off just yet. Before his injuries he played in some big games - Man U away and Arsenal at home - and played very well. Hes' had a tough time since and Saturday was his first game back for about two years. Puel did him no favours by pitching him in with a new keeper, makeshift back four and lightweight midfield. Thanks boss. Let him get back up to speed and see. At worst I think he has the potential to be a really decent squad player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt look awful in the 10 or so minute snippets I tuned in to. McQueen should have stopped one easily, Stephens was misplacing passes and Lewis should have saved the fifth. Like you said, he's been out ages, hopefully he's still on the way back and is understandably rusty. Would however be very concerned if we dont get at least one centre back in.

mrfahaji Posted 30 January, 2017 Share Posted 30 January, 2017 I work with a Bayern fan, he said Tasci was only cover there and was pretty poor in the one or two games he did have. However, apparently during his time at Stuttgart he was always seen as one of their best, if not their best, player. Said the decision to go to Russia was a bit of an odd one but that he could prove to be a good signing if he's anything like his Stuttgart days.
