Transfer Rumours The 2015 Summer Transfer Window Thread

The right manner for Lambert was to play up front rather than in midfield, which obviously would improve his chances of scoring goals.

 

Indeed. What I'm suggesting is, is that footballers can play nearly all their careers in the wrong position or the team can be set up wrong so that their attributes are not maximised. I think it's an interesting thought.

 

It's amazing that we sign players and suddenly everyone wants them...you have to be in the right team.

 

We do have that talent. It makes you wonder how other teams manage to screw things up so badly.

 

Beefy, now that the season is over, any knowledge about when Vilhena will sign, assuming that is the wrapping up stage?

 

Jordy Clasie on departure "I will not just leave Feyenoord, but it is possible. I'll see what's going to happen in the summer. "

 

"Koeman, please buy me"

 

I think as a club, To replace Clasie with Schniederlin for half the price is fantastic business. If it I comes off, As they are v. similar players. He'll slot straite in

 

I want Clasie. Bring Clasie. Now. Go.

 

The sale of Morgan will fund, Clasie, Vilhena and Toby. Fantastic business.

 

I think Austin is worth the gamble. When we play against 2 banks of 4, we struggle to make clear cut chances, and those we do create are too often wasted.
I think Austin would finish more of those chances off, if they were to fall to him.

Personally, although we still need a more natural scorer, I'm still in the camp that supports the need for better attacking midfield players, in both the creative and goal scoring sense.

 

Any good goalkeepers in Eredivisie?

 

Don't go Toby!

 

Saints are frontrunners for Austin and he wants to come here.

 

A Mane-Austin-Jay Rod frontline with a playmaker behind could score a goal or two...

 

Link?

 

Journo on Press Pass Radio Show who is close to Saints. I would take it with a pinch of salt though.

 

Really? I thought it was exactly that or watching other more evolved members of mankind doing that. The only other thing I can think of would involve womankind or a strong liquid that did things to your head that some clever and more evolved member of mankind had brewed/invented.

****, perhaps I'm not as evolved as I thought I was

As we had one of the best defenses in the league. A strikers performance against us this season would be a decent indicator.

When comparing Ings, Austin, Kane & Berahino(young n English) I would say Austin impressed me most and that came with an Ings bias.

At Loftus Rd he worked hard and looked a threat and his finish at St Mary's was excellent.
He also has a pretty decent delivery and has made a few assists this term.

Austin is definitely a player who would offer us something which we don't already have
