Or the Viking. Whatever. 

Have we failed to secure our first target? Is the Viking a smokescreen? We’ve sold THB too cheap. All I see is a LACK of ambition for which I blame Eric Black

[Colinjb]

Nice to see that we are not just gambling on one option.

Ok, ok. Hear me out.

Falchener's translation was obvious.

Affengruber's, however. Fuck me. The clear winner.

Tell me more I’ve never heard of him

Back to being a badly run seaside B&B ffs

From what I'm reading, I'd suggest Affengruber is currently the better player. Don't forget he's playing at a higher level than Falchener.

Some of Falchener's attributes appear to be quite similar to Schlotterbeck. Tall and good at headers, nowhere near as much of a ball player as THB.  

[saintant]

Think we still need a replacement for Shea Charles. Maybe a loan from a Prem club would be an option.

The big question is, who’s the better player, Falchener or Affengruber?

Where’s Harry Hill when you need him?

Gao OUT

This Plettenberg post from May suggests a fair few big clubs have been tracking Affengruber or at least showing an interest. Would this signing be a big coup?

I just read a piece that suggested interest in him was strong but has since tailed off. Sounds like his agent was doing a bit of fishing to see if there were any bites.

Affengruber = Monkey Pit Dweller

Falchener = Falconer

So literally no one wants him fucking great. Cheers Les

[ally_uk]

Interest from United and Juventus, why the fuck is he going to come to Saints has to be a smoke screen or agent talk  

 

[Turkish]

WTF is going on with his arms and hands?

 

[Saint Scott]

€10-12m seems far too low. I'm calling smokescreen 

[goodymatt]

I’d never heard of this guy until 15 mins ago but now I’ve gone and got my hopes up. Get it done Sporsy baby.

Whichever one of these we get ill retroactively convince myself that we made the better choice.

Well he joined Elche CF in August 2024 for 4 million euros so not sure his value will have gone up that much in 2 years.

When in reality it’s because we missed out on the preffered target which never happened when Cortese was here

Transfermarkt has it listed as a free transfer to Elche and a current market value of €20m

Watching this he does seem to have a lot of similarities to THB. Pinging diagonals, decent with the ball at his feet, tough tackling

Yeah. We seem to be grubbing around in desperation.

[madge]

Personally I’d expect a signing tomorrow… no way does THB be allowed to go without a confirmed player coming in. SFC generally do their business in private without a huge amount of rumours. 

[Mboto Gorge]

Going to get butt fucked by Cardiff in the play offs if this level of indecision carries on

You're right - the 4 million was his market value at the time.

Another Plettenberg tweet from early July.

[Dr. Kucho]

Just reading this thread and the possible links to Falchener and Affengruber. And one question jumps to my mind, why come here? 

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be very happy if one or even both join us, but looking at where they are now and their ages it doesn’t make sense to me. 

Falchener will be playing Champions League this season and Affengruber plays in the Primera Division. Why would you go to the Championship?

If we do sign them I think we can conclude that our best signing in the last few years has been Johannes Spors. The players he has signed have mostly been quality. Peretz, Jander, Larin, Scienza, Azaz and it seems like Schlott isn’t to bad either.

Sitting on our hands as usual we should have had THBs replacement in in JUNE to HIT THE GROUND RUNNING not dicking about at the END of the window. We NEVER learn do we

It’s fucking amateur. 
 

We should have made him stay one more season like we did Schneiderlin.

Wage increases and a chance of even more after promotion. Even in the Championship we have a bigger income than Elche and Viking and a bigger wage budget.

So we’re now interested in someone not good enough for Bournemouth how far have we sunk?

Three shirt buttons, you say?  Can't help but feel that you're being a tad over-optimistic there.  But don't knock LVs, they were a remarkably flexible form of currency, particularly with Cynthia Payne.

I read on the ever reliable Reddit, that Falchener earns approx €5k per week in Norway. If we sign him for £8m+, then surely he'd triple his wage at least.
