Saints Favourites To Sign Spurs Full Back
Saturday, 25th Jan 2020 08:27

The media are reporting that Kyle Walker Peters has had talks with several Premier League clubs including Saints and that we are his preferred destination.

Kyle Walker Peters has a price tag that is far higher than the number of games he has actually played for Spurs, but several clubs are prepared to meet it and both Roy Hodgson and Ralph Hasenhuttl are said to have met with the player in the last week.

It seems now that his preferred destination is St Mary's where ironically he could play this afternoon for Spurs with whom he has played only 5 times this season, the last appearance in the Premier League being back in August and only once since September that being almost 2 months ago.

A fee of £15 million could secure his signature and it could be that he will be swapping the away dressing room for the home one fairly quickly after 5 pm this aftenoon.

His arrival will cast a big shadow over the future of Yan Valery who a year ago seemed to have a bright future at the club but then lost favour with Ralph Hasenhuttl and then was said by the club to have a succession of injuries and illnesses to explain his absence suggesting that his lack of game time is due to something off the field rather than on it.

LordDZLucan added 11:05 - Jan 25 We are effectively swapping Targett for Walker Peters and increasing the wage bill into the bargain. Why? This can't happen.

If we've got Â£15m kicking around why not get Adam Lallana to sign a pre contract and bring him back to St. Marys. He won't cost a penny in transfer fees, is two footed, oozes quality, is used to playing for a team that plays a hard press and has loads of Premier League experience. He also used to be idolised here and I'm sure that could easily be rekindled. It's a no brainer.

Marcus_y added 11:51 - Jan 25 Don't get in it Lord Lucan. I have seen so many posts on the forum from the resident idiots saying how much they hate him and would never have him back. Don't under estimate the childish nature of footie fans. I would agree with you and would love him back.

legod7 added 13:10 - Jan 25 I would rather pay Â£8m for Wanyama. Heâ€™s only 28 and would really strengthen the midfield.

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
