Maya Yoshida

[TheSecondStain]

He's 23 and he captain's Japan

Was that intended, Lff..?

Brazil ship a lot of goals but are you telling me you wouldn't want Lucio or Thiago Silva. If Adkins thinks he has potential than great. I was disappointed when we signed Hooiveld, as he was a Celtic reserve but he turned out to be a great buy which I am delighted about.

Likewise.

Love Super Jos!

if we sign yoshida, i think all fans should learn the theme tune to yoshi's island... it would be the most original chant ever

Well at the Olympics out of the four teams that played six games Brazil conceded the most goals compared to South Korea, Japan and Mexico, so going by your analogy about Yoshida being no good because he played for VVV and they conceded the most goals in their league then Thiago Silva must be rubbish too. I am just pointing out that one statistic does not tell you everything.

They defended surprisingly poorly at the Olympics but it's worth remembering that's not quite their first team. Rafael and Juan were the weak links in that defence and they are not first choice for the senior team.

Yeah, it was just an off the cuff example. To be honest both of their full-backs look vulnerable defensively.

Japan international Maya Yoshida will not be joining #SaintsFC, according to Nigel Adkins.

**** sake. Another deal fallen through. Cortese out.

 

[reggiesfc]

we will get a championship or league one CB.

Adkins apparently said we aren't in for him. So who are we after?

Kana-Biyik

Kana-Biyik

Would love that he is pure class.

If we could have Kana-Biyik I'd be really pleased. I don't think we will get him, but I really hope we can.

We need a 'QPR type' week if we're going to get the players in positions that we really need. Can't see it happening. Maybe two or three players.

are you mental?

 

[ollysaints1]

Doubt we would get kana-Biyik , seems bait pricey as well

 

[reggiesfc]

we will sign someone within our price range and who is right for the club

So we won't sign anyone then? We don't seem to want to pay out to buy players. Please explain where I come across "mental" to you. Just stating an example.

We will sign a League One winger, a Championship centre-back, a centre-back from Serie B, and an attacking midfielder from Ligue 2 in France, all for the grand sum of £4million.

Daniel Powell, Scott Dann, Ogbonna (he was last year but was promoted, it still counts) and Ryan Mendes.

We're as good as relegated.
