Remember the glory days when it used to be us getting dismantled by the bigger teams? 😢 Yeah and they’ve gone to PSG, Liverpool, Arsenal and Real Madrid. Goes to show how good their recruitment has been. 4
Harry_SFC Posted Tuesday at 16:49 Posted Tuesday at 16:49 (edited) 🚨 West Ham's opening bid for Mateus Fernandes was £28m + £2m in add-ons, to which Southampton quoted £50m –– there is a sizeable gap in valuations & a compromise is not close, with West Ham now prepared to cool their interest & explore alternatives #saintsfc @JacobSteinberg Seems to be going the same way as Dibling. Said club realises they can't get the player on the cheap so give up. Edited Tuesday at 16:51 by Harry_SFC 6

No one goes to play for Bournemouth to stay there and play in their 11k B & Q shed with the granny ultras. Fair play to their recruitment team, mind. 3 2

ChrisPY Posted Tuesday at 18:51 Posted Tuesday at 18:51 Think we need to get back in touch with Everton and West Ham to sincerely apologise for the liberties we’re taking with our valuations. According to Michael Dawson on Sky, we shouldn’t have asked for so much because we only got 12 points last season. 1 5

He's more energetic than Downes I'd say, more of a goal threat from late runs. I wouldn't call him a 10, defo a CM with an attacking upside. 4
S-Clarke Posted Tuesday at 20:51 Posted Tuesday at 20:51 1 minute ago, SuperSAINT said: He’s an advanced 8, right? Rather than a 10? That's what I'd call him, yeah. A more attacking Downes, or an upgrade on Smallbone if you like. 1

S-Clarke Posted Tuesday at 20:53 Posted Tuesday at 20:53 (edited) 1 minute ago, Harry_SFC said: Yep, I'd suggest a Fernandes replacement... I mean, Fernandes can also do a 10. I wouldn't discount us continuing with Fernandes and having Rudoni too. We'd just have a really strong attacking base. (still need to improve the wide areas). What I would say though, if we get Rudoni and keep Fernandes, that almost certainly equals the end to that Eduard move - if it was ever on in the first place. Edited Tuesday at 20:53 by S-Clarke 1

Doesn’t Eduard play as more of an advanced MF than either Rudoni or Fernandes, or possibly a wide MF ? I can see a role for him, but can’t see us spending big on two midfielders, assuming Fernandes stays. Then we have the puzzle of where does Dibling play if he stays, wide right presumably.
