Maybe the truth lies somewhere in the middle. I am sure we can both agree though the right decision was made in the end! ? I've no idea what you are on about. You agreed that Martin was already playing well before MacClaren. Indeed he had scored 6 on those first 9 games. I do agree that it was the right decision to sign him.

DCFC1388 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 100% we will sign a left footed centre back, whether or not that is Clarke remains to be seen. Te Wierek, Davies, Wisdom, Bielik & Evans are all right footed so they wont play left side. Cocu has previously said he likes to have left footers on the left for how he wants us to play, which is also why Davies has always been on the right under Cocu even though before he was on the left next to Keogh. I also think Cocu might try to convert Forsyth into a centre back. He has all the attributes and would cover the left side. Pretty sure Cocu has said previously he can see Forsyth playing there. Would also explain why we have been linked with Fox at left back. Malone is probably on his way out the door & Buchanan may be loaned out leaving just Lowe.

maydrakin Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Looking at players who might be free in the next couple of weeks, there’s Mike van der Hoorn who people were suggesting last season and has just returned from injury. Another suggestion for a quick, powerful winger is Elias Kachunga - he’s always looked quite a handful whenever we’ve played against him...

Ghost of Clough Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Ben Davies at Preston. I think he’s in his final year of his contract, so could be fairly cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 If Leverkusen would let Joel Pohjanpalo on loan again, we should go for him. Complete striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Ram Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Not sure if Saints want to keep him but always impressed with Harrison Read who has been on loan at Fulham. Just what we need in the midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Trav Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 That brown lad at Barnsley was a handful with Conner Chaplin yesterday. Seem to remember they had a centre back called bamba and he was immense when we played them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowplay Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Has been linked with us in the past; I would go for Sam Cosgrove. I appreciate he’s not very ‘exotic’ but he is exactly what we need up top at the moment - at 6ft 3 he physically dominates defences, holds the ball, brings others into the game and no slouch. appears to be available for around £2.7m so won’t break the bank - not bad for a striker who has scored over 20 goals this season, and at 23yrs scope for further development.

I'd be a bit wary of signing strikers from the SPL. Unless you're scoring against Celtic or Rangers, then the level isn't great (I believe he did score a consolation against Celtic earlier this season before anyone says anything). Conor Sammon looked like a world beater for Kilmarnock before we signed him! That being said... if we did end up signing him, I'd love to be proved wrong.

Steven Archibald went from Aberdeen to spurs to Barcelona. Andy gray was a huge success. Ultimately this is what great scouting is all about. Being able to spot those that will adapt and thrive. we are going to have to take gambles on whoever we sign. p.s. I can’t believe that Connor Samson ever looked any good, anywhere.
