gio1saints Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 All these tricky right sided midfield forward type players being put in the beauty parade for Saints does suggest there’s no smoke without fire. Im my view the “fire” is more likely to be active preparation by JW and others in case we get ridiculous must accept bids for certain of our players rather than massively progressive we gonna get one more attacking player irrespective planning. Just my view though. Given all current candidates ( and I include Carvalho, Ben and Diallo) are unlikely to come sit on a bench or will have must play clauses from parent clubs of some sort it makes me wonder who they are replacing if they do get picked up and / or we do not sell anyone? Our best ( starting) tricky right sided forward types are : KWP: our best player. Surely not sold now. Please 🙏 not. AA: our captain in absence of JS and a revelation this season. Top scorer and assists in league. Integral to everything good we do. Surely not? SA: Having a good season. Still not 90 minutes fit but very effective both left right and centre. KS : He’s the prototype but he’s injured. Surely nobody would buy an injured player with all that promise ? 😉 Che : is not really an exact fit but he also seems most likely to leave - and his replacement is crocked in any case. So he is obvs the fave to leave and the one to be replaced with this new player imo. Hard to put my finger on it but gut tells me we will be reactive not proactive here. IF Che goes then we will enter market for loan of one of these ( or other unnamed ), but if Che stays then I think it’s unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Your post reminded me of the difficulties of manpower planning for football. It's not just "We'll need a new cost accountant in a year when Bert retires" and you get somebody new who just has a couple of months' notice to work.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Mulgrew Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) Arsenal willing to let Reiss Nelson go on loan for the rest of the season. HCDAJFU as a quick and lethal winger. But he might get more interesting offers from EPL sides. Certainly we could not afford more than a modest fraction of his £100+k per week wages. He’s 24 apparently.

Am I being harsh in thinking this is THE glaring hole in our team? Every opponent targets the space he leaves. He gives the ball away in dangerous areas regularly. He can’t defend. For me Manning is a LWB that suits 5atb but we are playing him at LB and he looks out of his depth. To be fair to him he looks decent going forward, good cross on him and the natural left foot is good for balance going forward. If we were to sign just 1 starter, this is what I would choose (assuming nobody leaves). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BERMUDASAINT Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Southampton reportedly 'eyeing move' for on-loan Plymouth Argyle star SAINTS and Championship rivals Middlesbrough are reportedly eyeing a January move for on-loan Plymouth Argyle star Finn Azaz. Latest reports on the rumour mill suggest that Saints are considering making a move for a player who is currently out on loan from Villa Park, TV footage of him at St Mary's have already appeared. Many Southampton supporters have already seen the man who could be joining the club in January at St Mary's because according to therealefl.co.uk Finn Azaz, currently on loan at Plymouth Argyle could be joining Saints. They report that Saints are considering an offer for Azaz and if they do then Villa are prepared to recall him from his loan spell at Plymouth and sell him on a permanent basis to Southampton or for that matter any other club who makes an offer they deem acceptable. His current valuation is said to be about £1.5 million, which seems a bit low for a player who from the centre of the Argyle midfield has notched 7 goals and 5 assists in the Championship.

Toussaint Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I heard something, but don't know exactly what to make of it. (Maybe old news). KWP and Stu did not have relegation clauses in their contracts, so are still on their prem wages, and therefore are considered too expensive to keep. I don't know if this relates to this transfer window or in the event of not making promotion, but the club would like to offload both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
