Friend of mine from Sweden is telling me rumours in the press over there are saying that Hernandez might come to us as part if the Shaw deal.
I think I'd be pretty happy with that. What do others think?

I think hernandez would fit perfectly into our style of play and with ramirez playing through the middle if lallana goes (hopefully not) then we would continue to see some high up the pitch, possession games. Nice to hear some rumours about people coming in. COYR

Not sure, Hernandez is obviously a goal scorer, but would offer much in terms of link up play? I'd rather we went for other targets personally

3.) 04 Jun 2014
Jld, what is our style of play? Since we don't have a manager I'm not entirely sure we can really speculate as to who will fit and who won't fit out squad. Personally, I can't see Hernandez wanting to come to Saints.

We a goal scorer inside the 18yrd box proper old school poacher, no point in having loads of link up players without anyone to tuck away the chances

I think Hernandez just wants regular first team football. If kl is still interested and the dream is still alive I think we have a chance of luring him here. I'd imagine dell daze that our style of play will continue in the same vain it did with Nigel and mauricio.

It doesn't matter what style of play you have all styles need a goal scorer he is deadly around the penalty box, and I think he would have something to prove to it'd if he came here, give kl some slack I'd rather they kept there cards close to there chest than being linked with every player in the world like spurs and liverpool

Yes but Smirky after losing Lambert we have lost that link up play up the top, which will miss a lot next season so needs replacing and I think there are better all round players out there to look at and I agree with Jld that our next manager will be selected on having a similar philosophy to Mauricio.

I have a nasty feeling that the main issue which led to both Cortese and Pochettino leaving is actually money, the size of the transfer budget. Koeman would want a sizable budget to work with if he comes to Saints. I don't think he will be appointed sadly. Magath is an interesting one, he really didn't impress me at Fulham, even if they were a lost cause. Saints need to make statement of intent. The press and football fans will react according to whoever is appointed. Given that I don't have any faith in Reed or Krueger , if less than a top rank manager is appointed I and most will assume that a fire sale is on they way. Liebherr take note, if you care about this club, do not get this decision wrong, you haven't exactly set the world on fire with your decisions to date.

I think we should push j-rod up a little next season. We missed him a lot towards the end of the season and with some pace up front (hernandez or even gallagher) we could get over the loss of lambert. I think that people leaving is inevitable with the team we had last year but the money we get in could solve the lower transfer budget if like monte thinks we have a lower one this year.
