The Gorks/ Puncheon situation is still with us and looks like happening just thought i would give you the lowdown on Punch and wondered what to expect if Kasper does end up with us.Puncheon started really well for us but his perfomances did become inconsistant and he became a bit of a target for some of our fans but he has talent and if your boss can motivate him in the same way he did Taraabt he will be usefull his relation ship with Warnock will be a key factor should he come. Ithink the root of his problem was losing his place to a 16 year old kid in Chambo and it seriously naffed him off .What of Gorkks please? all the best in the prem.
KG is one of our more consistant performers. He lacks pace but like all good centre backs he isnt afraid to put his body / head on the line. Hes also pretty handy from set pieces. Personally I dont see a straight swap happening. I think we may just buy Puncheon out right, IIRC he isnt too pricey and S'ton are eager to sell which could play into our hands.
Most Rangers fans rate Gorkks pretty highly. Like most of our band of centre backs in the coming season, he may struggle occasionally in the Premiership but I think the majority of us would say he has been the pick of the bunch. South Coast has summarised his strengths and weaknesses: with the former easily outweighing the latter, most of us would be surprised and saddened to see him go.
Still can't see why he'd agree to go unless he sees our stay in the Prem short, and Southampton on the way up...
I Can't see Gorky going to Southampton he busted a bollock to get to the prem can't see just giving it up so easily.
I can maybe see something like Puncheon + 500k in exchange for Gorkss, it looks like we have had a bid accepted but agreeing personal terms is another thing all together.
Gorkss is our number 1 defender imo. Started something like 42 games for us last yr in the Championship. Puncheon? Couldn't get in your team, looked ok but only that for Millwall/Blackpool, and we have far more options in his position than we have at CB.... I can't see Gorkss going.
bbc radio solent twitter page has reported we have had a bid accepted for gorks, still not sure whether he'd want to come though
Do you guys actually want Puncheon? Forget that Gorkss is part of the deal or whatever, if you had the choice to either have Punch or not would you take him? Millwall and Blackpool fans seem abit miffed he won't be going there but we cannot wait to get rid of the fella, met him before and he's a top lad but like all Saints fans will tell you, he has an attitude problem and Adkins literally HATES him. It's all about whether Warnock can keep him in check which personally I think he will succeed at given he's had to manage a guy with 10x the attitude/ego in Taraabt but time will tell. Just what we've been hearing down on the South Coast: Our previous CB target Ammar Jemal's deal seems to have fallen through and we'd put the Puncheon/Gorkss deal on hold until we knew the outcome of this deal... Now that the deal is off, we've had a successful bid placed for Gorkss but personal terms etc remain to be held (Source - BBC Radio Solent) - the deal is actually Gorkss + £650k for Puncheon but they're being dealt with seperately? Anyway good luck in the Prem boys! Had a soft spot for youze since the whole Ray Jones scenario with our game being held after it. Hope you manage to stay up and the likes of Wigan get sent back down!
Apologies if this has already been asked. You say he is your best defender ,so why are you letting him go? Please explain...
Gorkss was our best defender last year, really dont want him to go, he's be a rock for you guys, was defo in the top 5 defenders in the champ last season IMO
