Saints transfer rumour thread

I will try and go through it all and make a list then you can copy and paste it?

 

Find it strange how Davis could do pretty well in the Championship, but not at least do a reasonable job in the PL. He might be beaten by really good strikes, but you'd think the simple stuff would be ok. Is it all down to loss of confidence or is poor judgement revealed in the Pl.

 

Yeah, we really have little room for error on the GK signing. The next one needs to be proven quality & rather pricey (I'd have thought as anyone cheap will probably be a gamble....again), or we may well end up rotating four bloody similar mistake ridden keepers till May!

 

Cheers Morgan. Just looked through the first seven pages and all we had was Dawson!

 

I agree on the young and unproven part, we need a proven keeper. As for Davis just needing confidence I'm afraid I can't agree, Boruc hasn't played enough to judge yet.

 

Or age, it's his reactions that have slowed, making his dives a second too slow. His shot stopping is still class and he is probably the best at it at our club.

 

He HAD what it takes to cut it in the PL . yes he was in a team that got relegated , but IIRC he was about to under go a fitness test for the hammers , when we were saved , he then CHOSE to stay with us .

Why he is not performing AT THE MOMENT is anyones guess ......

 

HAD being the important word.

 

Be a very good signing.

 

Obi from inter http://www.calcionews24.com/inter-il-southampton-su-obi-290398.html

 

If thats true i'll be very excited, rated as an immense prospect.

 

Rather fast black man.

 

Plenty of Star Wars puns if he signs please.

 

He hasn't played much recently, what's the story there?

 

Dived into a pit of cocaine.

Awesome!

 

Hes been linked to a number of clubs because he is looking to move for first team football, could just be a case of the Italian media having heard of us now because of the Ramirez deal, and knowing we have money, and adding us to the list of supposedly interested clubs. I know nothing about him really apart from he seems out of favour at Inter atm for whatever reason.

 

In all honesty then, you really can't see a quality player then. He is simply a quality footballer. Print this post out and look at it on 5 years time, when he's destroying champions league teams for another side.

At the Sunderland game, I took my mate who is a professional coach at a pro club. 15 minutes in to the game (a poor one for saints), he said "you won't keep Ramirez long, he's head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch. Just one example.

 

When he plays, he looks the most direct and creative player we have.

 

Unbelievable comment about "lazy" players. Did you see how much closing down he did against Arsenal. I just think spotting a truly quality footballer is too subtle for many English football league fans. His first touch, his movement with and without the ball, his vision to see a pass that no one else in our team can, the fact he sees things far quicker than his team mates, his directness, etc. I am not saying he has been our best performer, I am countering your suggestion that he's not as good as people are saying. He is our best footballer.
