Forren is a free transfer, apparently has drink problems again. Caulker plays for QPR. He isn't as bad as either as them, he just isn't a player I would want long term. Unless he suddenly becomes good....
We've said time and time again that players are crap before even joining, let's hope he turns out as good as most of the others have! For every Vergard Forren and Steven Caulker there's a Toby Alderweireld and Virgil van Dijk, let's hope he's in the latter category.
I have no idea if he is any good but we do need an experienced player to cover Fonte leaving until the Summer: he is unlikely to be useless as The Board would not make a loan deal until the end of season. He has pace around him, lets not forget. Here's hoping we have a compitent player to cover until end of season. Fingers and toes crossed!!
I didn't say he was useless (useless is Forren), I said he is average/poor. But like I said as soon as he pulls on a shirt he will get a clean slate. Even if he is average he can just be let go with no problem in the summer.
Doesn't sound overly promising, but as ever I'll judge him on what he does in a Saints shirt and that only. We generally do ok with cbs, and bloody hell do we need one!
With Fonte leaving, we need a loan for depth. Maybe he ends up great, or maybe he never sees a game. But I'd rather bring in a loan than make a panic buy.
Les Reed walks into the Black box room... Les "Oh Ms Liebherr, what are you doing here?" Ms L "Er....It's my club I can go where I like. I was just catching a nap...I'll be off now" LR "Is that a USB stick in your hand?" KL"You ask too many questions, you don't want to go back to Charlton do you?" LR"No, sorry Ms Liebherr" KL"Good day Reed" Kat leaves and Les assumes the controls of the black box LR"right my beauty, what do you have for me today.....hmm Serdar Tasci - 100% match, why has he never come up before I wonder?...oh well, lets sign him"
Disappointed that we didn't have a starting-quality CB lined up. He's competition for Gardos and Stephens, i suppose.
By all accounts we wanted him on loan with a purchase option, but Liverpool wants to be rid of him (and at a price we aren't currently willing to pay; rationally so, for what it's worth). I'm expecting we'll be back in for him in the summer if he's still there.
Beefy, never implied you said he was useless; agreed gets a fresh start to prove himself: Summer loan a good option for us
