Aidan Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 If and when Ronald Koeman is announced as the gaffer's, which now looks inevitable, would anyone be hopeful for us to have any Southampton players follow him over such as Pelle, Van Dijk, Wanjama, Long, Tadic Forster? Personally I'd love to see Van Dijk as a potential Stones replacement and Forster could solve our goalkeeping void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 I'd take Forster, Maine, Wanyama, Tadic, Pelle and Classe for a start. Doubt we'll get any of them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Isn't Soton a feeder club for Liverpool though? So who do we pay for the players?!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Wouldn't mind Forster or Wanyama but both would cost more than they are worth and neither would be top of my list for the position they play in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Wouldn't mind Forster or Wanyama but both would cost more than they are worth and neither would be top of my list for the position they play in That's it for me I rate Forster Mane etc highly but would cost absurd money I'd say Tadic and Clasie would be two that would be good additions and not cost the world but the rest would be vastly overpriced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 It's not a realistic thread matt. Just speculation or "fantasy football". With that kind of money he will go shopping elsewhere and buy I'm guessing. Also like to have a look at the youngsters I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Why is that Matt?half the names mentioned just signed new, long-term contracts so the speculation is irrelevant. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Not sure I would take any of them tbh. Good as they are, they will be priced far to high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 half the names mentioned just signed new, long-term contracts so the speculation is irrelevant. In today's world I would say it's the contract that is irrelevant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 In today's world I would say it's the contract that is irrelevant If its 12 months in, yeah. But for 4 of their players they're not even 6 weeks in so I just don't see it. Unless theres mega money involved and I don't think any of them would be worth it.

Aidan Posted June 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 half the names mentioned just signed new, long-term contracts so the speculation is irrelevant. What about the other half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 half the names mentioned just signed new, long-term contracts so the speculation is irrelevant. I never took it as saying the players we think will come but rather the players you would take if you could. If it's who I think we'll get the answer is Wanyama is probably the only possibility. Mane wanted out anyway by all accounts so he's obviously no big fan of Koeman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 What about the other half?not good enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Van Dijk, Ward Prowse, Mane. Not much else. I would take Forster but he would be so expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makis Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I don't basically care either way. If Koeman feels it's easier to get the team to play the right way by signing his former players, then why not. But it's not like there aren't plenty of good players elsewhere. Of former players I'd start with Schneiderlin if he's available (some rumours suggests this). He was a key player in Koeman's system and is a very good player.
