Saints transfer rumour thread

Well he did retire, came out of it to play in the Swedish 2nd division. Not exactly Premier League intensity, you could say Ray Parlour, Le Saux, Keown etc. aren't retired because they are playing for Wembley F.C.

 

Haven't a clue

 

They aren't

 

I had a feeling you would say that.

 

Those old guys only went to play for Wembley in their FA Cup campaign. Which they were knocked out of 5-0 to Uxbridge in a Preliminary round replay

 

Would love to see some of our old players turn out for a non league team.

 

Haha I did know they were only in for the FA Cup but never checked up to see how they actually got on.

Not a great showing for them!

Must've been a great day for the Uxbridge boys though!

 

Kjaer did look like a major talent but having seen a fair bit of him for Roma last season he did seem a bit inconsistant and got caught out quite a bit. May struggle with the pace of the Premiership IMO.

 

Benfica could well head out of the CL tonight. What about getting one of their CB's? Views?

 

A lot of good players have come out of the Portugese League in the last few years. However I think they might be a bit out of our league with Luisao, Garay and Pereira

 

From what I heard, they snuck through their first game (after a replay maybe?), but it knackered them out so much that only Cannigia was able to take to the field for the next game - with the 5-0 thrashing the result.

 

I see that Nigel has confirmed that he has subbed Shaw in the last two matches because of cramp. Shows the dangers of overplaying youngsters. Suggest we well need a signing as left back. Pablo Armero from Udinese anyone? Rumour is that Udinese are open to offers.

 

Adkins also said that the only way for JWP to get fitter was to play, so sounds like he will be a regular starter. Cramp may also be due to him still growing at just 18.

 

Shaw is just a young 17 year old and he hasn't played much this season through injuries and illness so it's not surprising he isn't lasting a full premier league game yet.

 

Cramp is hardly a serious setback! It's not surprising in the least that he is not fit enough to play a full premier league game yet, but give him a few more games and he'll manage it.

 

Apparently Ulrich Van Gobbel plays for his dads pub team, when not managing a Waffle shop....

 

I see Kelvin is being linked with a move to Ipswich one of his former clubs. Personally I'd like him to stay at the club in a coaching role but if he still wants to play then he probably needs to move!

 

Adkins gave the impression he's happy to serve the club even if not playing, so I'd be surprised if he went, but as you say if he wants to play...

 

So, however, could have Ramirez, so who knows...?

Reckon we're more likely to get him than Beckham, though!

 

THink we have shown that we can meet a clubs valuation it's wages that might prove sticky. I suppose with Beckham the money he would bring in commercially would more than pay his salary!
