Foster is having medical on Thursday and will sign bye Friday that a good one hope for more
1.) I heard the club have booked a medical for tomorrow but it's unlikely to be Forster.
2.) If it was Ben Foster I think he would be as good as Forster, did you see his incredibly bad box positioning last night. Don't want to be a spoil sport but him and Van Dijck looked like a carbon copy of Hooiveld and Gazzaniga so beware of what we might be getting. Another post asked if most of us have seen VVD play, I think not and all the hype has convinced most of you he is a good player. Conceding 6 goals to a pretty poor side does not convince me they are suitable starting material for Anfield on the 17th. We need players in those positions we can rely on and that can only be players who have played in the PL before. Marshall and Vlaar for me everytime.

Why is that unlikely? It could all have been sorted bar the shouting just in case they failed last night

I still can't get my head round why so many people are so desperate to sign Forster, did you see his terrible positioning in last nights game against a poor Polish side? Have any of you ever seen him play a competitive first class game? Are you all thinking he is great player because you are led to believe this by media hype? Also Virgil Van Dijck, in the two games he played against Legia Warsaw he made Hooiveld look like Franz Beckenbauer. Just don't get it, why don't we sign players that can play in the PL that we know we can trust. Marshall the best goalkeeper I saw last season by a country mile and I just can't see him starting in the Championship for Cardiff so one of our rivals will get him and we will probably seriously regret it. Ron Vlaar as well, does exactly what it says on the tin, strong and reliable and most importantly experienced against all the top players in the Premier League. I just think I would rather we knew what we were getting when paying the best part of £20 million on two players that let's face it have only ever played against opposition the equivalent of our first division. I know it sounds like I'm a know all but it just seems common sense to me that to come from Celtic who are probably only low Championship standard at best to start at Anfield in 10 days is a massive risk for us especially with absolutely no game time or gelling with squad. I am very seriously concerned that we will get hammered but I would love to be wrong. Don't know whether anybody else feels the same way, I can't be the only one can I?
5.) Forster is still young and has the potential to be great with the right coaching (which we can offer)
Van djik is only 22 so I would hope he would be coming in as a third centre back (with fonte and 'vlaar??') playing along side experience he has the potential to develop into a great cb. The fact he was in and around the Dutch squad prior to the World Cup should speak to his quality.
6.) Surely Boruc will still be starting. Be good to have a number 2 keeper who we can have some confidence in and who clearly has a promising future, with quality GK coaching in place to get the best from him.
7.) I can see where the worries are coming from. If we can get some early points it would be great!It all depends on whether these players whoever they are, are jelling. this is why we have all been so frustrated at the slowness of these transfers. Its all very well saying we have all of August to get players in, but the horse could have bolted. I agree, Marshall was easily the best last year, and a top top goalie would be great, but those other two positions, cb and up front are more important.
8.) I sort of agree jmSaint but we are going to pay shed loads of money for these two. Most people are saying VVD is a shoe in at CB. I would have Boruc in goal in front of Forster for sure, Artur is a bit careless at times but he is a great keeper.
9.) Van dijk is a great player, I think there performance last night might have had something to do with the fact that there incomes where going to double if they played badly
10.) Why would Vlaar move sideways from Villa to us? We're not as well off as the media would like you to believe so don't say we pay him silly money. We won't. And he is not young. At best a short term fix. Great player but probably not going to come to Saints.
Marshall might have done tho. Still might I suppose. But it looks like being Forster. Boruc will be first choice though I expect. Forster will have time to develop.
11.) Sorry: Vlaar move sideways? At what point is it moving sideways to ambition? Villa have lost their way and knowing as a player you will get paid similar, but with the prospect of being a well respected senior member of the team and regular attacking first team football. Not biting Vectis, just don't see the logic :)

Vlaar would come to us for 2 reasons. Firstly he would I think relish the new challenge with Koeman who he knows and respects. Secondly believe it or not we are in an incredibly better situation financially than Villa who are in complete meltdown. We are ( and I know most of you don't believe it ) actually going forward and will within the next couple of years be a permanent force to be reckoned with. We will have a strong business base and never again struggle in this very competitive league. I believe that 100% and hope we give the owner and board the chance to prove it to us, but it won't happen overnight. Patience is a virtue.

Somebody said No 5 and 7 are not allocated. Anybody have any real concrete rumours who they might be. Got a feeling they could be different to what everybody expects. Not sure about Rojo for all that money but I certainly think he is worth a go. Not sure his complicated ownership ( sounds almost sci-fi ) will speed up a transfer though. Might take a while and a while we do not have.

Spurs to offer Townsend for Morgan plus cash got to take this his heart is not with club any more he wants to leave then get rid bring Townsend and two more a enough is a enough
1.) No we need schniderlin and Townsend is not worth it
2.) Can't get rid of Spider! The whole Board would lose face. Forget Townsend. Spider is more important. We should have no business with Spuds EVER!
3.) What makes you think townsends hart will be with the club?
4.) 26 Aug 2014 23:06:22
best signing this year will be getting corky to sign a new contract, can`t believe the board have not sorted it out yet
5.) We need an enthusiastic Morgan and Townsend but not so sure his heart is in the club. But can't see club losing face he's surely been promised a move come January so there's no point in keeping now. Sell bring marque player not Townsend

Saints have sign Florin gardos c. b from steaua 6m
Let's hope so I will keep the faith but it's getting harder never faut I would say this but come on Poland
That is some good news but we still need centre half and forward goalkeeper need to go for it not to low bid take to long and allow another clubs to go in for them come on saints slap the clash
05 Aug 2014 14:28:25
That would be great but we need a centre half we can't go with what we got?
