Saints January transfer window thread

An admirable stance, but compared to Chelsea we are a small club.

I don't think he will leave soon, but like Oxo, if he eventually wants to go and we can get decent money for him, it just doesn't make sense to keep him.

 

Wonder if Oxo regrets going to Arsenal.

 

Well he's had a couple of seasons in the big time, but if he'd stayed at Saints he'd have played in almost every game. Mind you, we may not have flown up the leagues with him. Nothing is guaranteed. I think it worked out best for Saints in the end.

 

Probably not. On one level, possibly...he has friends here and would have enjoyed our progress. But on the other hand, he is playing (sometimes) at a big club who are in Europe, is on top money, working in London, and no doubt having a great time.

 

We should get him on loan when he's fit again. He's nowhere near the first team.

 

Ryan Shawcross would be nice

 

No too many bans!

 

Kurt Zouma for me, but he will go to a bigger club.

 

You mean there is a club bigger than us

 

Supposedly Chelsea are interested in him, speaking of them KDB didn't make the squad again today, and there are loads of rumours that he is on his way out. Would be a great signing for us

 

Chelsea just buy people so other teams can't buy them. They don't need all the midfielders they have.

 

They must have ten number tens at this point...

 

De Bruyne is almost certainly going to Germany from what I hear. I've been thinking about it and I really want Aiden McGeady now.

 

We desperately need another goalie...a loanee in January and a more considered decision in the summer. Such a hard position to fill...you want an excellent second GK but they want to play.

 

That makes two of us. One more and NC will just have to give in to our demands.

 

From watching him with Ireland I wouldnt be overly fussed...He is quick and tricky but is so frustrating..Has very little end product and the ball rarely beats the first defender when crossing

 

So he's the Irish Theo Walcott then?

 

I remember him from Celtic and have rarely (maybe two matches) watched him since he moved to Russia. I had the impression he wreaks havoc on the wings and is a constant threat. Maybe he's not as good in the national team, it's known to happen.

 

If we got him fairly cheap then it would be worth the risk...He is a real worker so he would fit into the system fairly well...Has never played in a top league which would be a worry though. People over here seem to think it's a sure thing he is off to Everton

 

As i've said before, his contract runs out in the summer so we could take him on a free then, or pay some small fee in the january transfer window.
