Apparently we have contacted Toby Alderweireld of Atletico Madrid. Toby Alderweireld wants to move to the Premier League and has found his chances limited at Atletico Madrid. What a signing this would be! But what do you guys make of this?

Just seen this on the metro website, it says he's only £6 million as well! He would be a great signing, solid and can provide cover at right back as well. He's definitely the one of the types of player we need right now

Would be a great signing but can't see it unfortunately. Unless Koeman wants to change formation to 3-5-2 then I don't think he will be looking for a stronger back-up starter than Yoshida. Gardos is Lovren's replacement, and Fonte deservedly starts in the right sided slot.

He'll probably end up at Man United if anywhere, considering how poor their defence is atm!

The other issue we might have is commitment, he's undoubtedly a talented centre-back, so would he stick with Saints if a bigger club came looking?


4.) 25 Aug 2014
I was told we would not be buying another CB. Think this is just paper talk. would be a very good signing and we were watching him last year.


5.) 25 Aug 2014
I agree he would be a great signing If I was Koeman I'd sign him and get rid of hooiveld

Why not get this guy to play at right back and push Clyne up the pitch as a winger? - look at what happened with Bale when given that chance. Always thought that Chambers and Clyne should have started together last season in that setup.

Arsenal want to sign him. I think he would go there over us but you never know!


8.) 25 Aug 2014
We need THREE signings this week. CB and two goalscorers/assist players. If we don't score goals we'll never survive.

Still think Redmond, Vlaar and one other would complete the job.

Koeman recently said that he was not looking for another centre back, a winger and maybe another is what he said. I posted a few weeks ago that Saints will not score many but will not concede many and that is exactly what is happening, 12 1-0/2-1 wins and 12 draws is my prediction. Thoughts?

Would love this to happen. Confirmed by a Belgian journalist on twitter.


11.) 25 Aug 2014
There is a German site; www.transfermarkt. de that is very interesting, shows the player movements and values on a worldwide basis. It is showing that Saints are still looking at Phillipp Wollschied of Bayer Leverkusen, % chance 28% and rising. Hamburg are also interested

The lack of goals is the main worry. CB is not a priority with a week left in the market. as I said we sold 41 of 54 of last seasons goals. huge risk. as strange as it may sound I think gardos will add a slight attacking threat with his ability to play from the back.

J Rod got 15 prem goals lat year so not sure that adds up St Gibbs but I get your point


14.) 25 Aug 2014
Fair point its around that ball mark anyway. it was on tv.


15.) 25 Aug 2014
If its on tv it must be true ;)

Wow SaintsGibbs! Could you be more wrong.

Lambert (13/14 PL Goals)
Lallana (10/11 PL Goals)
Lovren (2/3 PL Goals)
Osvaldo (3 PL Goals)

I make that a max of 31 goals sold.

Rodriguez (15 PL Goals)
Schneiderlin (4/5 PL Goals)
Davis (3/4 PL Goals)
Fonte (3/4 PL Goals)
Clyne (1 PL Goal)
Gallagher (1 PL Goal)

30 goals?

. can't think of anymore scores off the top of my head. But I don't believe we've sold more than half of our goals!


17.) 27 Aug 2014
I do get St Gibbs point though as our the only 3 players to score regularly for us last year were Lallana, J Rod and Lambert, 2 have gone and the other is injured, in Tadic I think we can expect a similar amount of goals to Lallana, Pelle is to replace Lambert and I reckon he can deliver on that and let's hope Jay comes back all guns blazing!


18.) 27 Aug 2014
Sorry. in future I will trawl through records and double check quotes I hear on a certain top sports news channel.


19.) 27 Aug 2014
26/52 is the correct figure. next time I will check.


20.) 27 Aug 2014
Take the injured j-rod out of that sum and its 41/52
