Eetu's not a traditional forward in that sense. By all accounts, he's probably more likely to take up one of the wide attacking roles or a position behind the striker. With reports that we're potentially after two forward players including Eetu, I'd say that Callum's departure would (hopefully) be freeing up space for a proper striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviemay17 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Also worth noting we can sign all the creative midfielders we want, but when they get a chance to break forward they'll be greeted with Spoony asking for the ball to feet, MOH taking up a creative position between two players that takes himself out of the game, Chris Kane peeling off to the right but neither actually dropping short or looking to get in behind and May will probably be deeper than them too. If we don't sign a striker with movement and goalscoring instincts none of it makes any difference 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who said being as Saints fan isn't exciting on deadline day! Strangely not really seen us linked with anyone. The names usually trickle out! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least May just gives the ball to other players, my head would explode seeing Brophy shoot every time he's within 30 yards of goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'd take them all being away on frees next summer if it meant they delivered another trophy this season. Maybe someone like Crawford can be an example to some of them that the grass isn't greener down south. Next summer, we will still have reasonable value with McCann if he doesnt go today or january. Another way to look at is, would we all be happy to get players of the same quality as Kerr, Rooney, McCann and McCart if they had all left in this window? Because if they dont leave, that's essentially where we are minus the obvious financial income. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSJ.84 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 At least deals are on the table for a number of players. Usually wait until New Year to start offering new deals 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually wait until New Year to start offering new deals Saints have been trying to extend deals for the last 6 months! A lot of saints fans repeatedly want to blame Steve Brown for this situation, but the harsh reality is, it doesn't matter what saints offer certain players they'll always leave to go elsewhere for more money on the whim of an agent. It's up to saints to cash in when we can, or risk losing them for nothing and the potential sell on fee associated. This is never going to change and lets be honest, the likes of Kerr, Clark and McCann all got very good extended deals at the right time. Saints can't change their model and the way they offer deals and contracts to players for the simple fact, it wouldn't make the blindest bit of difference! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but May's new deal was for less thank the reported £3k. If say it is £1k per week less, then over the 2 years of the deal, we are only paying an extra £1k per week than we would have been for him staying on his previous contract but getting an extra year out of him, if that makes sense? Another way to look at it, he had a year left at £3k p.w, and then out of contract. Now he has 2 years on £2k. He could have sat out the contract he already has and then signed a £1k per week (fairly low) contract for a year and the overall cost would have been the same. While he is not the player he was, I think he is worth what we pay him TBH. I think if he gets a couple of goals, he will be flying. It's getting the goals in the first place he cant seem to do. I'd rather him than Hendry on current effort and performances. Edited August 31, 2021 by Theyellowbox 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, just had a look on their forum a few minutes ago - anything to delay doing a boring report at work! One of the posters on there was saying towards the end of last week that "his mate Stan, a Director at Saints" had told him Kerr was definitely leaving this summer, most likely to Wigan or Sunderland, as Saints couldn't match the wages he was being offered down south. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
