We lack pace and creativity IMO. If we are playing with 3 attacking midfielders then we need one more. Pace and flare which I think townsend would bring or Zaha. I would like to see Welbeck as come to us but spurs are looking at him.

saintbag

1.) Can't see utd letting him goto spurs or anyone else that finished top 7 last yr


2.) Interestingly Townsend was not in spurs squad today, for me thoe I think there want too much for him, maybe Sinclair if fit or Redmond would be better options


3.) And shane long ain't the answer


4.) Just put a fresh 12 mil bid for townend according to tv. Soon to be rejected


5.) Zaha please. we need to be able to break at real pace.

Interestingly MS was not in the squad tonight and he needs match practice. Sound slightly ominous?

Hi all. Reading who people think we should buy in the summer is really exciting seeing quality names being mentioned. Today in the paper it is said Danny Welbeck wants out of united. Although we are not mentioned I think he is a quality finisher given the chance and can play the same role as J Rod. At 20 million he could be the player that we need to bolster our attack. I would also go for Danny ings as an extra option up front. Steven Coulter has been mentioned which would be another great addition to our squad aswell as Zaha. One problem we have had this season is we don't seem to have a plan b. With someone like Zaha playing on the wing he can make things happen and get crosses in for the likes of Lambert or J Rod or if we got them ings and welbeck. Other areas we definitely need to improve on is defence. Lovren and fonte have been great this season and when on a run big vic can control everything infront of the back 4. As above Coulker would be fantastic and I would keep yosh and drop fonte to the bench. Jos would have to go though as we have youth that can always fill in if needed. Then we just need cover for left back.

saintbag

1.) I agree with everything except from 1: Danny Welbeck is not worth 20 million. And 2: Why drop Fonte to the bench. He's been fantastic for us this season.


2.) I wouldn't pay 20m for Welbeck in a million years! But that doesn't mean that I wouldn't like to see him at Saints, as he's a good young player who can play out left or on top on his own, I agree that we need another quality CB, not to necessarily replace Fonte, but to add competition, one thing not mentioned was a goal keeper, which I think should be our number 1 priority personally


3.) I was going to post something on this very subject. A lot of people have quite some negativity towards Welbeck regarding his strike rate and what not at United, but given his situation there (not just being played wide but being played as a winger rather then an inside forward) it's hardly surprising. His record for England is actually very good for another. D'you know who he reminds me of? Rodriguez. He has the same kind of positional dynamics as J-Rod as well as being a fairly similar type of player. Put in perspective; a forward line up of J-Rod, Lambert, Welbeck and Lallana behind would have real penetration, pace, height and strength. Also I doubt he'd cost £20 million. I'd reckon barely more then £10-12 million. And considering it was mentioned on the beeb, who don't exactly partake in transfer gossip, I'd say it's very credible he'd like to leave and there is probably only 3-4 teams in the EPL who could/would sign him (Everton, us, Spurs, maybe Arsenal). If (big if) we were able to sign him and Ings (and not lose any of our attackers) I'd say we'd have one of the best attacks in the league, and all English to boot!


4.) Welbeck would be a fantastic buy! Great skillful fast player with good vision and is not affraid to shoot from distance. We don't score enough goals from outside the box. He would certainly add an extra unknown quantity to our forward line with those nifty little tricks he does to turn defenders inside out! As for any signatures this summer its going to take a lot to get anyone of Poch isn't around! Especially as Moyes has alledgely been sacked they will be look at him to help sweeten the Shaw/ Lallana deal! Fingers crossed though!!

Any news on signings? Welbeck would be a great signing and I think we are missing that creativity in midfield. Maybe ramirez will fill that part.
Berahino from West Bromwich albion would be another top buy and a loan for Devante Cole from Man City is another option. He has the strength and pace to succeed in the prem. A bit like Lukaku

{Ed001's Note - Cole has joined Barnsley on loan already.}

Any news on players coming in?

saintbag

1.) Preparing a second bid for Townsend


2.) Hmmm, i'm not really sure about Townsend. Always seems to be injured and apart from a few decent performances I don't think he's all that. Would rather see one of Redmond, Belhanda or 'beep beep' Biabiny.


3.) Why not Redmond?


4.) I would definitely rather have Townsend than Redmond. He has shown he is a threat at this level, there is a reason he was in an around the England team while Redmond wasn't.

For me though biabiany is the pick of those we have been linked to.


5.) Assaidi

So not really heard any complaints about what Morgan tweeted after the news he was staying. Something along the lines of 6 great seasons with saints ruined in an hour.Clearly not wanting to be with us anymore

So on tv sports news Mr reed seems to think we can replace the players that have left us with youth from our academy. I'm now cheesed off with hearing the another player is leaving. Some people are optimistic but I on the other hand think we have now lost the heart n soul of last season's team. We was supposed to build and do even better but now I just see us as a relegated team. If we stay up and by god I hope we do somehow I think that would be the teams greatest achievement in recent years

Unfortunately I hope we go down she will never let go of the club while we survive in the prem and we will never progress while she treats us like an ATM

My concern is that we have let too many players go this summer. Out of our first team we could have dealt with 3 first team players leaving and replaced them. We are now looking at 5 or 6 already. Our team needs time to gel. We won't survive this season if we don't get them replaced by last week. What happened to no fire sale, What a load of tosh that was.

Watching the game on Saturday we have no chance of getting in to Europe again. A lot of fans are unhappy with Pelle and on that performance it was understandable but when Sunderland changed to O'Shea marking him in the last few minutes he was allowed to have a bit more space which led to our goal. In the summer he should go if he wants to head back to Italy. Mane should be sold but no way are other teams going to pay in excess of 20 million for him. Just a little dip in form. Romeu was brilliant against Sunderland and was one of only 4 players to actually show up. Unlucky not to score one too. In the Summer we should look at moving a few players on (Pelle, Mane, Victor w)
If Newcastle go down I can see a mass exodus on their hands. Townsend, Shelvy and wijnaldom would be 3 players that would bolster our team. Till the end of the season though maybe we should look at some of the youngsters. Experience is everything and could surprise roko with their performances.

Jay Rod gave me the same feeling I get while watching Gareth Bale and I don't see why he can't make it to that level. Just hope we don't sell yet and ask these players to stay for the season and see how many games lallana and shaw and srl get at these big clubs. Might be able to prove a point. As for the above post about the bigger teams and the academy's it really is a laugh when saints are churning out talent all the time and give the players a chance in the prem while they are rubbish at it even with all the cash they have. Would like to see Jwp step up his set pieces and practice on those quite a lot.

Good player. Just need to sign someone soon. Shame we never went for caulker to boost our defence. If Lovren n spider go we have a job on our hands in rebuilding and bringing new talent through.
