Lambert09 Posted 10 June 2020 Posted 10 June 2020 2 hours ago, GingerrrFox said: He’s too short. With the counter pressing style we have, the plan is to cut off passing lanes so that the opposition only have the choice to go long. Then the aerial ability of Wilf and the 2 centre backs is crucial in winning back possession. That’s the reason all the centre backs we are currently linked with are 6ft 3+. That’s a fair assessment, but I’m sure there’s other more promising options out there? If we have wes as the old head, the other reserve should just be a young up and comer imo. As many have mentioned, it’s just a shame that benkovic isn’t what we thought he was.

Ian Nacho Posted 10 June 2020 Posted 10 June 2020 Swap deal for Gray? We'll drive him there and Southampton fans can drive Vestergaard here?
Deeg67 Posted 10 June 2020 Posted 10 June 2020 In all seriousness, I think Vestergaard is a better player than what he’s shown in a sort of perpetual crisis situation where he is. With the right defense partner I think he could be good - certainly an upgrade on Bennett or Morgan. As always it all comes down to cost. 2
TJB-fox Posted 10 June 2020 Posted 10 June 2020 I really hope that the links to this fella and Hojberg are smokescreens used by the club to focus on other players. We do have a history of it after all. 2
Heymister2015 Posted 11 June 2020 Posted 11 June 2020 The players we’re being linked with are crap tbh! We’re at a stage where we just need to add quality. If we signed Demirel and Bailey and promoted Tavares through the ranks to replace Mendy that would be an amazing window. Instead I get the feeling Lallana despite being a good player is always injured making him a rubbish signing. He belongs at West Ham. Our scout rates vestergaard who last played when being 5-0 down and taken off at half time against Leicester. Ridiculously poor if true
Dahnsouff Posted 11 June 2020 Posted 11 June 2020 We have seen in the past few windows that these types of fluff turn out to be rubbish. We like to keep our crap under tight wraps. I mean, just look at Rachid?
Sharpe's Fox Posted 11 June 2020 Posted 11 June 2020 reminds me of the big guy with the assault rifle in Die Hard.

Vestergaard worries me the most, he's absolute gash.

Tielemans63 Posted 12 June 2020 Posted 12 June 2020 Mate of mine from uni is a Saints fan, I text him about this and he reckons all the talk down there is that it's actually Ryan Bertrand we're interested in and not Vestergaard.

I'd rather have Vestergaard. He was decent in the Bundesliga and would probably be quite good as a backup and option to have for a 3 man midfield, or to replace Morgan as a last ditch defensive substitution. He has several great qualities (suprisingly deft technically, fantastic aerially, generally good defensively), the problem is he is as slow as a tractor, similar to Wes at the moment. Bertrand is past it and would likely be replacing Chilwell. Not good enough at all for us. Edit: Do you all remember how brilliantly he played against us when Southampton beat us under Puel? That sort of performance is something that we could use, even if it's more of a "hidden ace" on the bench than anything else. Edited 13 June 2020 by Nicolo Barella
Sly Posted 13 June 2020 Posted 13 June 2020 I’d see Bertrand as a Fuchs replacement, rather than a Chillwell replacement. 1

They were taken apart, time after time, after time. Worst player on pitch, after Bertrand leg breaking tackle, Vesty-guard? Why are we even looking at any of this shower? Get a grip Brendan.
