abdulaziz1 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Is Terry ready though? As some are suggesting? He haven’t played nor trained for a while. I would definitely like him around, its a long season and something need to be done soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have us using our loan deals on proven quality. Do you think a 19 year old top prodigy of his generation, owned by real madrid, who was consistently good, would be on the table?

If there were no option to buy then yes I'd probably look elsewhere. Not a chance of a loan to buy, unless it had a buy back in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows if that's true. Good article that @Mic09 well worth a read. He actually sounds exactly like a young version of Snodgrass - but with much higher potential (Sorry Snods ). He may be a risk, but one worth taking in my eyes... do we bring back the fans favourite for one more season, or invest in someone who could be/become even better and who knows - be with us a bit longer term! I did find one very interesting point in that article (surmised below):An issue Odegaard faces at Heerenveen: at times, the gameplan makes him a casualty... their go-to attacking move isn’t to connect passes and work the ball forward, it’s to play longer, more hopeful balls into the channels for striker to chase... It bypasses the whole midfield, leaving the likes of Odegaard’s head whipping from left to right and watching the ball sail past him. Let's hope Madrid don't watch our games or they won't let us anywhere near him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Odegaard is exactly the kind of player we should be looking at. He could be our Neves. If there were no question marks over him at all a move here would be out of the question. He was, and still could be, one of the brightest young talents in world football.

alreadyexists Posted August 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) He’s played in the PL a bit, and was on loan at Southend 15/16. Other than that, I don’t know much about him, anyone else know much? Edited August 15, 2018 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we get promoted we will have made the great escape He has a Bullitt of a left foot. He will score a magnificent seven goals in total. If it all goes to shit we will be the towering inferno and he will be the enemy of the people. He will blob out the opposition attackers. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, I don’t know much about him, anyone else know much? Seems like an attacking left back/midfielder similar to Bryan...sounds good. Heres a bit about him....... Quote He is a similar player to Bryan and loves to get forward which was shown last season as he has scored six goals in eight appearances for the U23 side. READ MO After being a part of the Southampton academy since the age of eight, McQueen has worked his way through the age groups at the South Coast club. He eventually forced his way through to the first team in 2014 and was on the bench for their EFL Cup final loss to Manchester United last season; however he has struggled to establish a first-team spot. He also has international experience when he was called up to the England U21 squad last March, and started in their 4-0 win over Denmark. After the game, manager Aidy Boothroyd was full of praise as he described his performance as “excellent.” Southend United signed him on loan back in January 2016 where he made an immediate impact, as he scored his first professional goal in his second game during the Essex derby versus Colchester. READ M McQueen has been involved for the Saints in pre-season and even featured at right wing-back however Matt Targett has returned to the club pushing him further down the pecking order. clicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
