Southampton have been linked with the following I was wondering if any eds have any information on ins for us.

Aaron Cresswell (we need another left back)
Javier Hernandez
Virgil van Dijk
Steven Caulker
Granziano Pelle
Lex Immers
Fraser Forster

And as an addition I would give John Guidetti a chance here I think with game time he could be a prolific striker.

Do any of these names have serious interest from southampton

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Also Danny ings

Agree0 Disagree0

Out of them I'd like one of Van Dijk or Caulker but maybe both if we lose Lovren and Forster would be a good signing as we need another keeper. I think Matt Taggert will break through into the first team next year so I don't think we'll need a LB even if Shaw does leave, Hernandez is a goal scorer but doesn't provide much in terms of link up which is something we'll desperately need in the replacement of Lambert, Pelle's a trouble maker so I'd say no to him straight away although he is a good player and I reckon we could get someone younger and better than Immers personally

Agree0 Disagree0

Although Guidetti does have a lot of potential and could be an interesting one

Agree0 Disagree0

Seems the eds don't have as much time for us anymore. Shame

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed005's Note - The one who could help out was driven away by the abuse.}

I guessed that. Please pass on my apologise for how he's been treated its a shame a few of us who actually respected ed002s opinion can't hear it anymore due to some persons.

is there any where else I could ask ed002s opinion on this sites without it being on the southampton page?

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah sorry ed005 I don't know why sone fans think its acceptable! Like I have said I have been coming and going on this site for about 3 years atleast! And you have alway been helpful! As a fan that's very sorry for other fans do you have any info on any players that might join saints?

Agree0 Disagree0

Ahh sorry Edds, I didn't think it would happen again after the first time, but looks like a lot of our fans who use the page aren't the very respectful

Agree0 Disagree0

Evening guys, just watched the Brazil v Mexico game and my word is that Ochoa fellow good! Now I don't normally like to jump on the 'he-had-a-good-WC-game-so-sign-him-up' bandwagon, but I couldn't help notice; this guy is a free agent! We all know we need more depth in the goalkeeping position, surely there aren't many better keepers out there available at his level and money.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I've said it before on here, and I'll say it again. He's not a good fit for the Premier League. He can't control his box well enough and he's not great coming off his line. Brouc would win any competition between them easily. I've seen a lot more than one game from Ochoa--I watched a lot of Mexican football when he was coming through at America. He's doing well in Ligue 1, and I think that's the best fit for him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agreed with Sotonic, although I would say Ochoa's reaction time is a little better than Boruc's he is not as good a player all round. Ochoa has many good games but has failed to be as consistent as he'd need to be in the Premier League, he is best suited to the league he is in.

(This is Happyman by the way)

Hi this is my first post but do you think koenan will sign any big name players as we do have the money for then

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hope so!

Anyone think we missed a trick with pantillimon going to Sunderland?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Yes I think pantillinon would have been great for us considering he was on a free aswell

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree, one of the better free goal keepers about too

Agree0 Disagree0

Any think fellani up front or attacking mid would be any good, apparently he played very well in that position

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Better players out there in my opinion

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jun 2014 21:15:31
With hair like that, BR should snap him up, but probably waiting for him to join Saints before he becomes interested!

Agree0 Disagree0

I think fellaini is a decent player in a attacking role and far to clumsy defensively. I think that's his problem at united

Agree0 Disagree0

See arsenal being linked with chambers again short odds at 2/1 surely the time has come to give wenger the 2 fingers and tell him to try starting his own academy

Believable0 Unbelievable0

17 Jun 2014 19:38:04
well said smirky
i don't think wenger is that good a manager and I can't see him running a decent academy
also I can't see that walcott and oxlaide have improved that much since leaving saints so I hope chambers or any other young players go to the gooners
forestsaint

Agree0 Disagree0

Personally don't really rate Walcott even if he was fit wouldn't have taken him to the World Cup, they just don't get the game time up there would love to see the ox back down here centre mid field role wonder if we put a but back clause in his contract?

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree, but do think that Ox has improved a hell of a lot at Arsenal, whilst I think Walcott moved to early and could of done more if he had another season at least with us, would love Ox back, depends if Wenger goes and signs more attacking players he may want to get first team football?

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi Eds

Just wondering if you know any info regarding attacking players. Obviously Saints are short in this area with the sale of Lambert, do you know if Koeman has any attacking players lined up?

thanks

Theres a young dutch striker, not sure on his name but he's been banging them in for u21s inc hat trick 2wks ago was expected to make wc squad but just missed out, could b option

Agree0 Disagree0

Batshuayi. 37 in 90 league games. And 5 in 12 for Belgium u21's.

Agree0 Disagree0

Do you mean Quincy Promes? He got a hatrick against Scotland under 21's and plays out wide too, would be a good signing

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry, Just realise you said Dutch. Quincy Promes. But the Belgian lad looks good too.

Agree0 Disagree0

Koeman interested in pelle and saints bored interested in ings

Agree0 Disagree0

Yrah that's the guy Promes

Agree0 Disagree0

I reckon Chippie71's right with Batshuayi looks like another Lukaku type player from the Belgian league, we won't be the only ones who want him though

Agree0 Disagree0

Completely agree with everything said, Promes doesn't play centrally for Twente but would be a very good addition on the right flank. As for Batshuayi, he looks a star in the making, it's only his attitude which let's him down. I'm sure Koeman would get the best from him but at the moment he is quite single minded.

Agree0 Disagree0

I have just been informed by a Dutch colleague that the Saints sponsor AAP means 'Monkey' in Dutch - maybe we are paying Koeman peanuts! ;-)
