On sky sports news that Big Vic apparently wants to leave.

Magiccabbage

Worrying news that players don't see this club becoming the club they believed it would be when they joined. Imagine if loyalty was still a thing. Playing for the badge and the red and white. Money talks nowadays, and its impossible to keep up with the big kids. Just imagine where we'd be if there were rules on transfers, contract lengths, the age youth players could leave, and most importantly, without the 'big clubs' splashing millions and millions to strip any hope a team has of becoming one of them.


2.) 22 Aug 2015 22:56:11
It's rubbish. Big Vic hasn't.

sky sports is becoming the worst programme on the telly
the other day they said villa were talking to a saints player which was all lies
now they are on about wanyama
i am afraid sky is the worst thingfootball ever got tied up with and ruined it for ever

Have you forgotten the Daily Fail, st. forest?

Italian media sayimg we are in pole position for alvaro gonzalez from Lazio I believe it is. didn't train with the team on wednesday.

Magiccabbage

1.) Different type of player but I would rather lulic.


2.) Need a CB not another midfielder!


3.) Where should we finish


4.) I can't see it happening but I feel we still need another striker. we have sold 41 of 54 last seasons goals and our only 2 real options are long and pelle. why not try for remy.


5.) You mention we only have Pelle and Long as options but what about Gallagher? He's had limited chances but when he's been on the pitch he's looked very promising and hasn't really put a foot wrong. We need to utilise our academy, we have one of the best.
In an ideal world I'd like to see us still bring in a CB, RB, wide midfielder and striker but realistically I think just a CB and RB. Even with Gardos now in we look short at CB as we are missing a solid, influential figure there ( Vlaar?)Jos isn't up to this level, gardos is an unknown, jury still out on Yoshida and Fonte is decent but not exceptional. If Clyne gets injured we are stuck at RB too so hopefully we can get Byram from Leeds. An attacking mid would strengthen options and a promising young striker to push the other three particularly Pelle and Long.
It is heartening that we have brought a few in but the squad has merely gone from anorexic to thin! It's a long old season, a strong squad is critical 3-4 more before the end of the window please.


6.) 15 Aug 2014 13:14:46
Completely agree with the Remy point, going to Liverpool for 8.5 mil it would be an absolute steal. Although I could imagine his wages being huge


7.) Although this guy is a midfielder, he's also played a fair bit at RB for Lazio - So you can see RK mindset here. Potentially one player to cover numerous roles.


8.) I agree Legod, we need to keep bringing through our talented young players, it looks as if we've got a terrific generation of players coming through, if you think about Shaw, Chambers (both gone but still), JWP, Gallagher, Reed, McQueen, Stephens, Turnball, Target, Sinclair, Rowe, McCarthy you'd think all have the potential to make it into the first team in the future from one age group! Maybe we'll utilize Stephens at CB this year, McCarthy at RB and then use Rowe/Sinclair at RW, we already know that Reed, McQueen, Isgrove, Gallagher, JWP will first team regulars anyway


9.) 15 Aug 2014 19:38:26
Remy failed a medical with Liverpool. I am sure this would have some bearing on his price.


10.) 15 Aug 2014 21:36:25
Loads of you were posting about squad numbers earlier. No. 20 which was Lallana is still free so I think there is more to come. No. 14 also free, not sure but I think the last player with this number was Dean Hammond. Any ideas guys?


11.) Great fan of Gallagher. he needs a real confidence boost by scoring lots of goals in the reserves and some cup activity. The next big thing!

According to the daily echo we are looking to sign solly march from Brighton

Magiccabbage

1.) *according to the echo we are not looking to sign him despite reports.


2.) Echo being the Echo has now changed it's mind.


3.) Did the same about Cork as well and are now reporting that there have been no bids for him, now Pulis has left Palace they won't sign anyone until a new manager is in


4.) 15 Aug 2014 12:49:57
Did the Echo headline have a question mark after it like it usually does? If there is a worse local paper in the world. I'll be shocked.


5.) Vlaar on his way unless Man u get him first


 

 

07 Aug 2014 16:29:40
I see biabany is being mentioned in relation to us again. Apparently we are in a three way battle to get him
Thoughts?

Magiccabbage

1.) Yes I saw this, he looks like a great player and got a decent fifa rating to, for the price of 6M I think he would do perfect


2.) Would be a fantastic buy. MAKE THIS HAPPEN!


3.) Bags of pace no end product.


4.) There's a few players being linked to us now, I like the sound of most of them but it's beginning to feel like the media turning their attention to players coming in as players seem to have stopped leaving. I wonder how much truth is actually in a lot of them, but if it is true, then yes, would be a good signing. But what happened to the Hernandez rumour? A lot of smoke and mirrors I fear. It's about time we got some ink on some paper!


5.) If hernandez signs I will rid my body of hair and wear a dress to the following match.


6.) 08 Aug 2014 00:13:28
Has anybody actually seen this guy play? Everyone seems to be raving about him from highlight reels and fifa ratings. I Enjoy watching the Italian league and seen him play once or twice but didn't strike me as being too special. Thought his head didn't work quite as fast as he did and I worry how successful he would be in the fast pace of the premier league. Could be a hidden gem with his pace and pretty decent pass completion rate but am a little skeptical. Look how well Lamela settled into the premier league. Opinions from anyone who's seen more of him.?


7.) As I said earlier in the feed doesn't have much to his game other than pace imo.


8.) But that is somethin we are massively lacking


 

 

20 Jul 2014 12:46:20
Linked with Leicester forward Vardy. Am sure I read this before but now being mentioned on news now

Magiccabbage

1.) Would be a terrible buy. Probably nothing but paper rubbish let's hope, need to be a hell of a lot more ambitious then jamie vardy


2.) I hope all these uninspiring links that have cropped up over the weekend are a smokescreen and deals for better players are being tied up on the quiet. Here's hoping anyway.

Still a lot of work to do. I know WB defended with 11 men but we struggled to make enough decent chances. Forster was good as was Tadic. Long wasnt really in it and Pelle certainly got better. We just need them to read each other better.

According to newsnow we are fighting with Everton for the signature of biabany

Magiccabbage

1.) No competition there then I guess is off Everton!!


2.) 14 Aug 2014 18:04:15
I just read a short piece in a French paper saying it's us and West Brom who are interested--no mention of Everton. Whatever the case, it certainly does seem that we have some interest in the player.


 

 

01 Aug 2014 15:30:31
Is it my dementia or were all three signings supposed to be announced today? In which case should I be biting my fingernails.

Magiccabbage

1.) In Koeman's interview yesterday he said 2-3 signings this weekend. Fingers crossed for one today!


2.) 01 Aug 2014 17:52:04
Running out of time now. Fingers crossed before monday


 

 

11 Jul 2014 14:01:45
Would be interested on peoples opinions. If we get Pelle, there's a strong chance we would only get one further striker. Would people prefer Wickham or Ings if it came to a choice between the two

Magiccabbage

1.) Ings if it were a straight choice, although to be honest I would rather see us splash the cash on Lukaku (very unlikely to spend huge amounts on one player though as we have a lot we need to bring in it seems).


2.) 11 Jul 2014 16:45:00
Agreed but it would almost be a putting our eggs in one basket. cough osvaldo cough


3.) 11 Jul 2014 16:56:50
always rated wickham and would love to see him at st marys. under the right guidence he could become everything andy carrol was meant to be


4.) I'd like to see us be more ambitious than these two - Bony?


 

 

06 Jul 2014 22:41:07
Sorry if this has been posted before but apparently we are after left back Pablo Armero.

Any thoughts?

Magiccabbage

1.) I saw this but he looks good and has a lot of pace, this could be a sign of 5-3-2

I had heard this. Is he any good? I wonder if that means we are forgetting about VVD

I Can't see this. He has invested heavily in the team and to leave so soon would defy any type of sense especially with the work he is currently doing.

Having said that we have been knackered like this in the past. He is the best thing to happen to us in a long long time. I hope to God it's not true.

Nice to see people apologising. Fair play sir!
Really pleased. Think that if these two live up to the expectations which they should seeing those EPL after them recently, we could really prove everyone that we are a team to be reckoned with and after our third game showing we can work as a team already there is a lot of hope. Fingers crossed

Massive shame. I really thought this was going to be his season to shine. He hasn't proven himself but I still had hope

I do see what you mean but our performances have left a lot to be desired. I haven't been impressed with much and our defence has been atrocious. Yes I know we are waiting for players to come in but it really is taking a long time. Is this because we have our hearts set on specific people or people don't want to come to us? It certainly makes me twitchy at the moment.

THANK YOU St Martin!! Why is it that when we play better than a team it was them playing badly. I thought we were far better and didn't give them a chance to play.
I think the players we have bought in have shown great promie and potential (Long still has a way to go to justify his expense but still shows potential).

We absolutely played them off the park. Excellent play and nice to see Tadic and Pelle linking well. Thought Pelle has started to show why we got him.

Really pleased.


Come on board. let's have that pacy winger we need

Thought he started to show some excellent reasons as to why we bought him.

Most importantly the frustration he feels when he misses. It shows an incredible passion. I have little doubt he will push and push both himself and his team mates.
