Topal eh....? IF I WERE A RICH MAN...!!
I've put the Lambrini on ice.
Worst. cunt off. ever.
Beat me to it!
Little risk with Beharino? One good seasons, several attitude/personal issues/outbursts. £20m+. Oh and it's us we're talking about here.....I'd say big risk but who else can we go for with any Prem experience apart from Austin or Berbatov?
Thats stupid. Where would we be without him....ridiculous to say something like that. How can you even think that. Do you prefer Soldado?
The worrying thing is, we could actually find ourselves being semi-grateful to sign him on deadline day, due to absolute and utter relief that we have someone......just like last time! Haha
Stephen Ireland roasted us Saturday though....
Must have been our first choice. Just waiting for the right time in the market.
Probably much, MUCH better than Stambouli and Capoue so thats good.
Thanks and whilst I can understand your frustration I see it more as an unfortunate truth for the time being. So it's simply just enjoying the good parts of a less than ideal situation. However I think you've missed one thing, every club apart from 2/3 clubs in the world will ocassionally lose their best players. We will slightly more often than those above us but it's just something that people need to accept is part of modern football. I mean look at United, they've about to lose De Gea and they lost Ronaldo. There's a food chain and if you're not at the top then you'll be screwed, of course we're further down than them but even so, climbing a bit won't mean we necassarily keep any of Jan, Eriksen and Lloris if the big ones come calling.
Furthermore we've done a great job of hanging onto our best players for a (relatively) long while now and I think it's a lot to do with how well our squad gets on with each other. Having so many players of a similar age who all seem to have a good attitude can only mean our squad is closer than most, especially with so many having been part of the same acadmies, so that's a huge positive of our current project.
I'd say Berahino is less risk considering the alternatives, he is very talented and versatile. The only mark against him was a few things previously in his personal life.
Austin, good striker but he is only a striker and therefore would he accept being back up to Kane.
Berbatov, great player but getting on and like Austin would he accept being second choice.
Foreign strikers with no prem experience, imagine Levy might be scared of that.
Don't know its hard one I guess.
I don't disagree with your point, but i don't think Toby was trying to either. He was simply stating that the CM pairing in the Saints lineup focused on shielding and protecting the defense as a first, second and third priority. Were we better front to back and did we win? Yes. But that stems from a number of factors. I don't think any of us will deny that a quality CM focused primarily on protecting the back would improve our defenders and allow our creative players the ability to express themselves more in the final third knowing they had that protection behind them.
I know somebody who'd agree ...
I do want us to sign a fast DM. I just think some posters complaining about our current midfielders as weak links are wrong. I want a DM to move Bentaleb etc further forward.
Some want Mason etc out of the prem team period.
What games have you been watching.
Two agrees. Sammy and gibbs.
Feel the love brothers.
