This is doing the rounds on Twitter - a leaked shot from inside the locker room at USMFF.....

Load of s*%# mate... Niasse hasn't got a locker! Haha

No surprise really. The long contract Shamus received always meant that a quality right back like Trippier wasn't realistic. The club was never going to spend a chunk of the budget on quality and also replicate two large wage outlays for one position.
RK obviously doesn't think Holgate is up to it at rb. Cuco clearly isn't very good if he's being released by Southamptom but, if he comes, maybe he'll be an adequate fill in until Shamus returns and hopefully JJ Kenny will get some opportunities also. It does all feel very Steklenberg like though.

Obviously Puel doesn't want Martina but he's got Cedric and he brought in Jeremy Pied so doesn't need Martina so didn't renew his contract.....

A bargain implies they're worth more than what is paid for them. Nothing wrong with a good bargain. Also what dross are you referring to? We've not signed anyone yet.

Bargains are great, but they're bonuses. Generally speaking, you get what you pay for and stuff that looks and sounds cheap, generally is shoddy (as I have learned buying from those TV infomercials!)
Buy quality...which means pay high prices.

Id rather we signed a top player, or someone who can become a top player.

So would I, I'd love an Hazard or Willian, a Mata even but we need to get real. That level of player just isn't going to sign for us this summer. Ok, a top player at one of the top clubs may get shunted out after their club goes on a spree to improve themselves but it's still not a given we would get chosen ahead of others when it comes to going for those players.

Mate, Martina isn't first choice at saints and he is that lowly rated they're letting him go on a free without even trying to offer a new contract.

Their not offering him a new deal mate cos they have Cedric has the No.1 RB and Puel brought in Jeremy Pied last summer so there's no room for Martina in the squad anymore so hasn't been offered a new deal....

To late then

What can you do though if the players stall

 

[MasonLeeEFC]

I think it's more that Holgate will be first choice, and IF Martina comes, he'd purely be a squad player and back-up only. I'd personally like to see Kenny come in to the picture, but we'll see. I'm sure the manager will have his reasons should Martina arrive.

And if he does so, it's a very cheap deal relatively speaking. We don't need a 'long term' replacement for Seamus, so it was never going to be a case of signing a Tripier (who won't come anyway as he'll likely be first choice at Spurs next season) or whoever.

Reading reports it seems Koeman wants a natural RB to come in and fill in whilst Coleman is out and doesn't want to keep on using Holgate there?!....

Brothers at war here

Schneiderlin and Lukaku, they couldn't get games at clubs currently above us and proved what a waste signing players like that is...

Yeah, sure, they're useless
