verlaine1979 Posted 17 July, 2020 Share Posted 17 July, 2020 Quina at Watford looked like a promising young attacking midfielder in a few cameos last season. Would probably be a cheap addition to our attacking midfield options, with lots of potential upside depending on how he develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is frustrating when Bournemouth have been able to splash 25-30m on a player, he didn't do much but still - would be good to have an owner who wanted the club.

Yeah as thats worked out well for us, whats that about 75m wasted, about time they went for quality over quantity and instead of trying to be smart get in someone proven at this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our business model is to shop abroad and then sell on to bigger clubs. If we've screwed up recently it's been in favoring quality over quantity. Picking up players from Juventus, Bayern and elsewhere in the German league has meant paying more and not spreading our bets. We need to scout more widely and be more active looking for multiple young prospects at around the £5m mark, in addition to trying to recruit first-teamers. It's like venture capital - one Van Dijk pays for all the Juanmis and much more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu_Saint Posted 21 July, 2020 Share Posted 21 July, 2020 Agreed with Godfrey still young enough although might be good for him to have a season on loan in Championship perhaps?

Wilf Posted 21 July, 2020 Share Posted 21 July, 2020 I agree that Klose would be a good signing at the right price (injured for much of this season so not able to prove himself in the Prem). In addition to Buendia, Pukki, and the full backs (esp Lewis), I would mention Hernandez as a player to compete with Redmond for a starting place. 6 hours ago, Stu_Saint said: Agreed with Godfrey still young enough although might be good for him to have a season on loan in Championship perhaps?

He has struggled throughout his career to get gametime in the Bundesliga and doesn't stand out for a very poor Norwich team. I struggle to see why signing him at 32 years old after a significant injury is a good idea for Saints. I'd rather we sign players in the 19-24 bracket who have the potential to be top players and use us as a stepping stone for 2-3 years. Signing players like Klose is a recipe for relegation!

SNSUN Posted 21 July, 2020 Share Posted 21 July, 2020 Klose is only playing because of injuries to Hanley and Zimmerman. He’s not good enough for them and he’s nowhere near good enough for us. Personally I wouldn’t touch any Norwich youngster, they’ve shown they’re not up to it... yet. We were linked with Lewis but I’d rather see how Vokins gets on as back up to Bertrand. Buendia would be the only one I’d be interested in signing from Norwich, and he hardly set the world alight consistently, and there would be issues as he is their set piece taker and we already have a very good one. From Villa? McGinn was on fire before his injury, so him. Grealish is unrealistic. Otherwise they’re another team whose players I wouldn’t go near which is amazing considering how much they spent. Maybe Mings could be OK in a better team but we already have our left footed centre back now in Salisu. From Bompey? They’re a different kettle of fish as their players have proven their worth in the last few years. Ake is unrealistic, but Brooks, Cook, Maybe Callum Wilson (Although he’s seemingly regressed he knows where the goal is), and possibly Harry Wilson From Pool on a cheapy as a punt. From Watford? Pereyra, Hughes, Sarr (unrealistic through price), maybe Foster short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View From The Top Posted 21 July, 2020 Share Posted 21 July, 2020 That Brooks lad at Boscombe looks a player. Decent replacement for PEH perhaps. I also like Sarr at Watford but he'll be far too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing for Cantwell is to drop back with Norwich, stick with them in the Champ to try and get promoted. Then he'll be back in the PL as a much better player. He's not bad, but still raw and I think that will stop clubs going for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really isn't a terrible player - he has played 75 games in the Premiership and been one of the better Watford performers in recent seasons. Their forum rate him and Sarr as the two players exempt from recent performances. He isn't the greatest player in the world but if he was I wouldn't suggest him as he would be too expensive. I mentioned him to my son before last night's Man City game and I got a similar response to yours 🙂 However, after watching the match he did change his viewpoint and say that he could be an option ....... BTW - I would love to get Sarr for Saints, but as he cost £30m last year and Liverpool are monitoring his availability I somehow feel that he is outside our price range ... We need to look at realistic options even though they have their limitations - but even so, I suspect that Hughes would be outside our budget anyway.
