Toby Alderweireld

[billyiddo]

I wonder what happened to Baldini getting involved in these negotiations.

We probably have more than one deal going on at a time

 

[parklane1]

Keeping my fingers crossed that this does happen, now lets sort our CM problem.

I think he is (especially for a mid-range signings like this). Levy spends most of his summers in the US. The headlines sound less good with FB though

 

[Sandman]

Trouble is Levy wants to let a Director of Football run the contracts side of things. But every time they do they go and waste it all on Crap.

 

[Sandman]

I would have to be a Southampton Fan at the moment. Basically they are becoming a feeder club for the Top 6. I suppose as long as they continue to produce through their ranks they will be ok. But in the last year they will have lost nearly 7 first team starters.

Shaw
Clyne
Alderweireld
Lovren

Lallana
Lambert

True. Levy is probably nowhere near this.

Maybe he's somewhere else doing negotiations or at the Copa America (and probably was at the U21 Euros and U20 World Cup as well)

yeah maybe. But you cant sustain that amount of turnover of playing staff and stay successful. But I hope they do in a way, I Want to see English team bringing players through. I liked the fact that teams like Southampton, Leicester etc rely on bring through their own than relying on buying over priced foreign players that are not better.

But Southampton aren't gonna do that much more. There buying in foreigners as they now have they cash to replace the British lads they have sold

When we played them last season over both games they had hardky anyone who had come through the ranks.

At WHL they had two lads in the bench

At their ground they had one starter and two lads in the bench that came through the ranks

It's now a bit of a myth under Koeman

16M Euros [£11.4M] + bonuses agreed terms with Atletico allegedly

Vertonghen and Alderweireld lining up together at Old Trafford come August 8th sounds good to me.

Fellaini will monster them unfortunately

 

[indianspur]

11.5 mill pounds, thats fair enough i suppose. I was worried at the 18 mill pounds reports earlier in the week

well done Danny boy

now can we buy a couple attacking players?

To be fair a whole generation got poached when they slipped down the leagues: Bale, Walcott, Oxlade Chamberlain, Mills, McGoldrick, Blackstock etc.

They then brought through another lot which has just been plundered: Clyne, Lallana, Chamberlain, Shaw etc.

They still have Ward-Prowse, Schneiderlin etc in the first team. They can't just have wave after wave of youth ready to go. If 6-7 of our youth products knocking on the first team door went then we would have none either. They have to buy to replace holes created in their squad: they cant have no right back for 3 years on the pitch whilst they wait for the next one to develop to be fair.

Suspended.

Not many players out there that can combat Fellaini in fairness. So it's a good job he's banned for the first 3 games of the season.

This is why we need a commanding CM, to stick it up players like this in tough games

Yeah I get that but llalana was Taken from Bournmouth, Clyne from Palace, Scheiderlain from France...

I guess I think we should as a club get more credit for the amount we have brought through

I'd guess last season there were more Tottenham youth team products playing in the premier league than Southampton

It's also about expectation... It's easy bringing through youngsters when your not a great side. Do it at the top and its massive due to the ability needed, the pressure and the scale

Let's see how many they have playing in the premier league in just 1 seasons time

Not that he can play against us this time but they key with fellaini was for someone to actually pick him up!!! He had all the room he needed to play his game
