LeBenali Posted 24 June, 2018 Share Posted 24 June, 2018 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Gunn From a quick scout on Twitter, I can see a mixture of rumours of a move to Leeds, and Man City fans wanting him to have a loan spell in the Prem for a season. Would be an odd signing either way, so definitely one to watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted 24 June, 2018 Share Posted 24 June, 2018 No way City would let Gunn go permanently so would be a loan and no way they would send him somewhere to sit on the bench. Odd one really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted 24 June, 2018 Share Posted 24 June, 2018 Fret not we have long, Austin is no slouch either. Armstrong threading balls through goals will rain in no?Our striker options are certainly bottom 6 material. Really expected an overhaul in that area this summer but don't think the Club have the urgency/ambition to do what is needee sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 24 June, 2018 Author Share Posted 24 June, 2018 Southampton are keen to beat*Leicester City in the race for FC Basel winger Mohamed Elyounoussi. Going head to head with Leicester again [emoji23] Just looked up the article mentioned above. No mention about what journo reported it. SOUTHAMPTON hope to pip Leicester to the £16m signing of Basel winger Mohamed Elyounoussi. The Saints are offering the Moroccan-born Norway star, 23, a four-year deal worth a total of £8m plus bonuses. Elyounoussi caught the eye with a man-of-the-match performance in Basel’s 2-1 Champions League victory at Premier League title-winners Manchester City in March. That strike was one of 13 goals, along with 17 assists, for the Swiss side last season. Now Southampton boss Mark Hughes has made his move, with Leicester counterpart Claude Puel also in the hunt for a player compared to Foxes ace Riyad Mahrez. Algeria’s Mahrez, 27, saw his dream move to Man City fall through in January but is tipped to finally complete a £65m switch to The Etihad. Busy Leicester this week signed James Maddison, 21, from Norwich in a £24m deal.

Saint Garrett Posted 25 June, 2018 Share Posted 25 June, 2018 If it's a loan, I can't see him coming to sit on the bench...also can't see City letting him go permanently, unless he doesn't fit the "Pep way" but would surely cost quite a chunk?!

Pierre Posted 25 June, 2018 Share Posted 25 June, 2018 If we're looking for a creative midfield player this guy looked pretty usefull yesterday: Juan Fernando Quintero. Probably less than half the price of Madisson, and more quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 25 June, 2018 Author Share Posted 25 June, 2018 So, any solid news of incomings? Last link was Mohamed Elyounoussi yesterday. (Linked with him last season too). The only link that *might* have some legs is Ben Gibson. Nothing solid though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted 25 June, 2018 Share Posted 25 June, 2018 I'd say Gibson and Armstrong are as good as done. That would leave us 20-30m from the vvd monies + whatever transfer budget we have allocated (from premier league /TV) for 18/19 season. Best guess 30m? So £50-60m still to spend potentially + I'd expect some outgoing (Tadic, Boufal) so would expect our spend to increase accordingly. It's been a slow start but I think activity will start to speed up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Billy Posted 25 June, 2018 Share Posted 25 June, 2018 Morgan Schneiderlin may be sold by Everton.

Hasn't been the same player for them but I would take him back at the right price, gamble I know but could just happen for him back with us. I think we have decent enough options in Romeu, Lemina and Hojbjerg. If there was a clearly better player out there, sure but Morgan hasn't done it since he left Saints and wouldn't have any of the same players around him that he had before. I don't think he'd be an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue Everton will have is surely wages. MS will have jumped to big bucks at ManU, and probably didn't take a wage cut to join the Everton big ******** project.

Agree, I feel for Morgan because it all seems to have gone totally pear shaped since he left us, but you can't blame him for leaving given what was on offer, and at the same time I'd not have him back. For me he's sort of become the Steve Williams of the 21st century, shame really he was great for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bewildered Posted 25 June, 2018 Share Posted 25 June, 2018 Given that he’s on Real Madrid’s radar I doubt he will be half the price! Given he's not considered good enough for Porto and gets loaned out every season, I suspect any Real Madrid interest only exists in the dreams of his agent.

Heisenberg Posted 26 June, 2018 Share Posted 26 June, 2018 Why have you concluded it is indecision? That is jumping to conclusions on no evidence. It is 20th June, the players go to China for the start of pre-season in 10 days time If a player signed today he wouldn't have training tomorrow. I'm puzzled why you are both seemingly close to ruling out a signing in the next 10 days. 4 days now mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltonaggro Posted 26 June, 2018 Share Posted 26 June, 2018 His dad wore such short shorts it is amazing Angus was conceived! One of my fondest memories at the Dell involved Bryan Gunn. It was an evening game against Norwich, possibly Milk/League Cup game, but definitely in the aftermath of the 1990 World Cup and Scotland's Costa Rica goalkeeping debacle. I was halfway up the Milton Road Terrace when there was a lull in play whilst somebody got treatment and BG was stood on the edge of his six yard box. With the crowd quiet, some wit shouted "Oi Gunn, what's it like to be Jim Leighton's number two!" - at this the big man turned with an enormous grin on his face and gave a thumbs up to much chuckling!
