Transfer Rumours Summer 2024

When does the dressing room tip from being a young dressing room to a vintage dressing room?

 

Vestergaard next

 

Bring back Jesus as our fullback. We may need some divine intervention end of the season.

 

It does appear like the the scouting department has been looking through old black box videos.

 

The one thing you can say about Ingsy is that he's a top finisher, if we can create the chances i'd back him to put a fair percentage away.

 

Will he be able to play Russball?

 

Yeah, he's an intelligent footballer who can link the play well plus he can create his own chances too.

 

...when fit

 

Just watch him shut out the English attack on Thursday...

 

I think he's been fit for the Spammers, he just hasn't started many games.

 

He'll have had a easy season ready for a return to his spiritual home.

 

You’d probably struggle to buy better for £6m unless you get lucky unearthing a gem. It is getting a bit ridiculous the amount of ex players we are being linked to though.

 

"Linked to" I think being the key point. I'd be amazed if we got more than one more ex love.

 

We already have one confirmed

I’m going for 4

@Saints_Alive track these predictions aswell please mate

 

Yeah, hence 'more than one more' - so two. I could see us buying Ings. That's it.

 

Did Dragan say we would spend within reason?

 

I disagree because I don't think anyone has any idea how good Ings actually is anymore. He barely played last season, with just 3 starts and 17 subs he scored just 1 goal all season. His goals since leaving Saints have been:
23/24: 1
22/23: 8
21/22: 7

I don't see how he is suddenly going to improve on the record considering he hasn't played much for a season. Pointless signing IMO.

 

I'm not saying that Ings is the answer, but not being favoured at a club doesn't suddenly mean a player isn't any good any more. Various factors are at play ... other, better players available, style of play, moving mid-season etc. I remember there being a few concerns when we signed him from Liverpool - he'd only scored 5 goals in the PL over two seasons and had had a big injury injury. Another player has a worse recent record to Danny Ings and I bet we'd all leap on him if it was possible ...

23/24: 1
22/23: 6
21/22: 1

Antony Martial

 

Martial is 28 so coming into his prime, plus his injury record isnt quite as bad as Ings.

And tbf for his wages i wouldnt want to go anywhere near Martial either!
