Transfer Rumours The Summer Transfer Rumour Thread 2016

[SaintsFan86]

Been linked for awhile, hope it isn't true

If it is true, I hope it's only a versatile option like Martina.. 2 yr deal.

 

[saintsfcfan]

Someone fairly ITK on twitter saying we are interested in Robson Kanu.

Really hope not, hardly even championship level.

 

[st_brendy]

I would imagine that many clubs are interested in HRK given that he's a free agent. But even if we are one of those clubs, I'm not sure why he'd come here. He'd surely appreciate that he'd hardly ever play.

 

[TheSecondStain]

And probably Spuds too now, sadly

Oh, I shouldn't think so. Pochettino won't know enough about it, and the recruitment head who left wasn't an IT expert. They may have the idea, but then so will others. It's implementing it. We're way ahead on that front.

 

[SaintinSerbia]

Saints sign 3 new players! Jay Rodriguez, Charlie Austin and Florin Gardos. Not bad so far!

 

[SaintinSerbia]

the as it stands squad:

Goalkeepers

2. 44 Forster

Defenders

1. 2 Soares
2. 3 Yoshida
3. 5 Gardos
4. 6 Fonte

8. 38 McQueen
9. Redmond

Forwards

1. 7 Long
2. 9 Rodriguez
3. 19 Pellè
4. 28 Austin

HRK as a squad player would be alright. But I don't think he'd see himself as that. Would imagine he would get some offers from clubs that would guarantee him more playing time.

 

[Number 1 Jasper]

Been linked for awhile, hope it isn't true

If we have been linked for a while , then it's not on the back of that Wonder goal ( not that I think for 1 minute that it would be ) So we must see something in him ?

 

[SaintinSerbia]

not sure why we're worried about RB - we came 6th with the 2 we have and they'll be better next season. I'm worried about forwards - we have 4, 1 is probably leaving and 2 have yet to play because they're injured. HRK would be a no cost option and the possible Jamie Vardy wonder buy of the year!

 

[SaintinSerbia]

and the Midfield Reed / Isgrove / McQueen trio is obviously a weak link

One Cruyff turn dosent make you a good player, there's a reason Reading released him, he's not good enough!! The sort of player a newly promoted team takes a punt on.

He wasn't released,he let his contract run down

Need a better rb.

We need:
Back up keeper
Better rb
Back up cb / future Fonte replacement.
Defensive mid
Attacking mid
One or two wingers
Striker

Well they didn't offer him a new one, so they didn't want him obviously.

 

[SaintinSerbia]

Need a better rb.

Imo we need:

Better rb
Back up cb / future Fonte replacement.
Defensive mid
Attacking mid
One or two wingers
Striker

a new team then? (except LB unless Ryan leaves)

Not a new team is it? Just a bigger team. We have needed more wide/ attacking mid players for years now.

 

[mowgli]

Right back is not a position we need to be recruiting for IMO

 

[A Touch of Clas]

100% need a right back.

 

[Beef]

Right back is not a position we need to be recruiting for IMO

Cedric / Martina aren't good enough at defending.

I am just starting to feel more optimistic about the future. If HRK arrives I would have to rethink that
