i heared de brunye might leave chealsea I think we should go for him what do you guys think
Why would Saints want a player who is not good enough for a team on the same points?
Saint Martin
Hes young and has good potential
Yes, I recognise he is young and has good potential-but that's why we have invested so heavily in the academy. There has to be a balance between giving our own lads a chance at 1st team football and bringing in new players to the club. So, the point I was making, is that IMO the club is now at a stage where I see it looking to recruit youngsters into the academy OR if "senior" players are brought in they will either be better than our existing first team squad or to fill a gap that may be caused by injury etc. Therefore really don't see de brunye is what we need.
Chelsea have extra games with CL and if they can't find a way, or need, to utilise him I can't see that Saints would.
Saint Martin
Saint Martin has it spot on. Any new signings will be carefully balanced with academy kids. I can see that several of our kids will end up having to leave, since they won't have a route into the first team, and we seem to be producing so many kids that are potentially capable of making the step up.
I agree with you're 2nd post St Martin as there should always be a way for our youht products to come up to our first team, but just because he doesn't play regularly for chelsea isn't a reason not for signing him as he's still a quality young player who'd be a great addition to our squad, but I agree I'd rather the likes of Omar Rowe or Loyd Isgrove is used instead
Why would we not want him? He's a playmaker and we desperately need one. Ramirez looks like he wants to sit on the bench
Of course he would be a great addition to the squad. Now my question is to some of the posters here is why we wouldn't want him? He is a great playmaker, he is full of pace and he is a young talent that we could potentially get very cheap. To saint martin, your first post said that we wouldn't want him because he is deemed not good enough by Chelsea. Juan Mata is apparently deemed not good enough for Chelsea, does that mean that Juan Mata wouldn't be good enough for us? We need a playmaker and we need some more pace to our side and de bruyne fits both of them categories. I personally would love him.
Saintsfan25, you seem a little confused! Both Mata and de Bruyne are out of favour at Chelski because they are unable to play to instructions from the manager. However talented a player is if he can not fit into a team structure he has problems. Besides, Chelski have made it clear they do not wish to allow either to leave so what we have are players their club do not want to leave but currently have difficulty playing to a teams template-not likely to be on their way to Saints IMO.
Saint Martin
The more average players that look capable of stepping up is alright.
but the bpl needs excellent youth to come through.
or the league will end up average and not the best or one of the best.
IN THE WORLD
