LCCFox96 Posted 22 January 2023 Share Posted 22 January 2023 If there are no permanent takers in this window, anything we can do to lighten our financial burden with Vestergaard between now and the summer is a must-do. He's not going to be called upon unless we are absolutely desperate - as proved by how he's behind even Soyuncu - and if we can save even 10% of his wage expenditure to help bring in someone we do want we should be all over it. Besiktas/Turkish Super Lig is the kind of league he might do well in so it could help him to earn a permanent move in the summer for a fee. We can but live in hope.

Sly Posted 22 January 2023 Share Posted 22 January 2023 No chance we get rid of Soyuncu and Vestergaard. We do not training options and backup players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. But when you stubbornly play a high defensive line but then sign a defender who expressly cannot do that, there is something significantly more wrong than signing a Ryan Mcgivern or a Graham Fenton. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they do any checks on him?! Top should be furious with this. We haven’t even given him a run in the side he must be that bad. Certain people abuse Amartey but how bad must this guy be.

I think he was seen as a long term Jonny Evans replacement - similar build, supposedly good at passing, positioning, reading the game. I’ve heard Evans compared to a Rolls Royce. I think that means Vestergaard is a Robin Reliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnfox Posted 22 January 2023 Share Posted 22 January 2023 When is he under contract until? Stay here, sit on the bench in footballing obscurity, pick up something like 50-70k per week. Or Move to a tin pot league, play games in footballing obscurity, pick up travelling expenses and a boot allowance. Can't see him leaving tbh.

Popular Post splinterdream Posted 22 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 22 January 2023 What puzzles me about him is he isn’t as bad as his performances for us. He is the wrong fit for the way Rodger’s likes to play, Rob Tanner tweeted that he even mentioned this to Rodger’s at the time and found the signing bizarre, not because he though Vestegaard a bad player, just the wrong type of player. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes- But I wonder how many on here for example would have signed him🤔. Such a blatantly bad piece of business if ever there was one.

Sly Posted 23 January 2023 Share Posted 23 January 2023 All of our signings are discussed and agreed by a few people. Vestergaard is a good player in a certain system. Bizarrely, lots of us knew that wasn’t ours. Saying that, I’m sure he wouldn’t have made our defence any worse at times this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I know a lot of Southampton fans who couldn’t believe their luck. Pretty every on looker thought this deal was silly from all perspectives! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
