Is there any news on Shakiri to Southampton?

SDowthwaite

Honestly can't see this happening. Even though he played for Hughes at Stoke I'm sure he will get offers from bigger clubs than ours. I still think that we need 3 or 4 more signings to hopefully turn us into a top ten team again.

Ed’s any news on the Shakiri situation? Cheers Sam.

{Ed001's Note - he has been offered around. Not sure he has had the offers he thought he would get.}


3.) 10 Jul 2018 20:47:40
Do you think there is a chance he could end up with us? Or are the teams involved still More desirable than ours? Thanks again Ed’s. Sam.

{Ed001's Note - there has not been that much interest from the Prem, but he doesn't seem that keen on Southampton. He thinks he is too good for a team that isn't competing in Europe. Not sure why he thinks so, but there you go.}

Hearing that we could be interested in signing Cardiff goalkeeper David Marshall, I think this would be a sensible and realistic option and finally someone who wouldn't make me nervous between the sticks! I think Davis should retire and become one of the coaching staff and Gazza should go on loan in the lower leagues. What d'you guys think?

SDowthwaite

1.) I've always had an eye on Kasper Schmicheal but will be tough to get him now he's been promoted with Leicester.

On the subject of Marshall - I wouldn't complain but think we'd need to shift a keeper or two to make room for him (currently 4 in first team squad).

It's worth looking at all the relegated clubs and seeing if we can sneak a few bargains.


2.) Honestly, I'd be far more interested in Stephen Caulker if I had a choice from Cardiff. He'll definitely leave in the summer - would be crazy not to considering he's on the verge of WC14 selection.


3.) Speaking of relegated clubs, Norwich will most likely be relegated given their run home. If so, we could probably get someone like van Wolfswinkel for a bargain. He's struggled for Norwich, but was quality in the Dutch league where he was getting decent service.

Also, wouldn't mind Nathan Redmond from Norwich. Cut us to pieces the first time we played them this season. He's got pace to burn, which is something we really lack.

As for Fulham, I'd take Holtby and that's about it.


4.) Not van wolf's winkle. possibly the others


5.) In my opinion, Caulker, Redmond and Fer are Norwich's best players. Wolfswinkel was poor even before he moved from Sporting so that wouldn't be a step forward. As for goalkeepers, Mashall is great but also getting older.

Koval Maksym (21) was mentioned on here before, a young goalkeeper for Dnipro (Ukraine) with a average of 1. 3 goals conceded a game in comparison to Boruc's 1. 07. With our defence above him I think Maksym could be perfect.

{Ed001's Note - Caulker is a Cardiff player. Norwich must be bad if one of their three best players doesn't even play for them!!}


6.) I must be going mad today! Maksym plays Dynamo Kiev actually 😂

{Ed001's Note - one of those days then!}

Southampton want to continue their summer spending by making a splash for Valencia winger Pablo Piatti. The 24 year old Argentinian can play right/left wing or CF, Everton are also interested.

SDowthwaite

1.) Didn't he have a £38m release clause a few years ago? Now I'm seeing fees of around £2-5m being reported! Doesn't make since to me.

Mini-Saint


2.) Go for the Ecuador winger Jefferson


3.) I don't think we need him I think we should go for Adam ljajic


4.) Jefferson probably scored more goals in first 5 games than Adam ljajic will get all season


5.) Reported today that the deal is only a season long loan as Valencia don't want to get rid of him but he is out of favour. Also he doesn't want to leave Spain


6.) That whatshisname is a good player we should sign him

What do you lot think about a cheeky bid for Shane Long from Wba? Suits our fast paced closing down style and wouldn't cost the world? Premier league quality and not a 'could be' player?

SDowthwaite

1.) Yeah, Shane Long is possibly on our radar I'd imagine. I'd have him. Another good player who should be flying. He'll probably leave WBA but I don't know who for. Are Hull still gagging for him?
