Sibdane Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I wish we would go for Yedlin. Apparently going to Newcastle for 3mil. He would be a good understudy/cover to Coleman. markjazzbassist and nyblue23 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the sport was just about how athletic you are, I'd say Yedlin is a great shout. Unfortunately, the sport involves kicking a ball and using your brain. These are two areas where Yedlin is severely lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I personally think this will happen. Cheap low risk back up right who Koeman knows already. Didn't see a lot of him last season but his goal against Arsenal was incredible - possibly my favourite goal last season for just how he hit it. For that moment he turned into a right footed Roberto Carlos. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 EVERTON 'IN MARTINA BID' Everton have made a £1.25million move for Southampton right backCuco Martina, according to the Daily Mail. Martina was with manager Ronald Koeman at Saints last season, and the Dutchman reportedly wants competition for Seamus Coleman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vranny Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 The lad would only be a back up to Coleman, rather than somebody that would challenge him for a place at RB. Part of me thinks we'd be better off just giving Holgate game time there instead. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisstiss Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Have him. He reminds me of Carlton Palmer. Has a tendency of going from complete mediocrity - no control, no vision, little defensive nous, explaining why Twente fans were so surprised we bought him (although the fact that Erwin Koeman managed there suggests this was his transfer allocation...) - to fairly proficient attacking football, good height in the box and composed passing (the defensive nous is still not really there, though). Add onto that the fact he seems like he's a good lad who likes a laugh on the training ground and is well liked by the squad, who scored possibly one of the greatest Saints goals I've ever seen at St Marys... He's earned a weird place in our history as this unpredictable conundrum with an increasing cult following. He won't be anything special, and will probably be resigned to a permanent backup to the next man. He can be alright, even having good games, and our opinion of him was largely affected by the fact he was better than a troubled Cedric Soares. In other words, we thought of him as better than he might be, simply because he provided a minimum of what we required from a right back. Soares was liable of being run over at times last season. Expect him to go now we have bought Pied in, who Puel knows well and hasn't brought in to be a third choice. He'll compete with Soares.

captainbeaker Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Sounds fine as a back up, frees Holgate up for Central Defence backup then do we need Kone? I would like Lucas perez, then possibly a creative midfielder that can pull the strings, then business done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 1.25m? Wow hell yes. That's nothing in this market, he's just RB cover anyways. We could finally be filling a hole we've had for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 If he is no better than Holgate and Kenny then I really don't see the point nutmegwolf203, Romey 1878, Cornish Steve and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 This is something that winds me up. Clubs go out and spend money on players that are no better than the youth they have. And then yet again the youth suffocate. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs go out and spend money on players that are no better than the youth they have. And then yet again the youth suffocate. my guess is he doesn't rate conolly or kenny. or doesn't think they're ready for first team action. have they been loaned in the championship yet? played first team football in the lower leagues? that could be an issue as well.

London Blue Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 not sure aithout looking, but if that's an issue why hasn't he sent them out on loan?

Romey 1878 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Kenny was out on loan with Oxford last season. A highly successful loan by all accounts. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Isn't Connolly a CB by trade or am I getting confused? Was he the lad that started at RB against Norwich and then got injured and was replaced by someone else I can't remember!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if he's a CB naturally, but it was Kenny who replaced him during that game. Played well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
