VillaChris Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 He's o.k. Tall and can head it away o.k, no idea on his quality with the ball. Seems Gerrard is still obsessed with getting Mings out of the club as his profile fits replacing him more than Diego. If we're looking down that way surely Salisu would be a better fit although I guess they'd be looking for close to 40m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trillvillan Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 How much would Bednarek go for? Surely why not take a punt on someone like Jakub Kiwior - young polish centerback. Was linked to Roma and West Ham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 If we sign Bednarek then I'll completely give up with whatever scouting system this club has because we're going in a very wrong direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why waste the money when he’s worse than what we have. Unless it somebody better then it’s pointless I'm assuming we are just proceeding with securing Hause's replacement. It just became more of a priority after Diego went down. With FFP it's poor practice to have too many resources tied up in one position. To bring in someone close to Diego's quality we would probably have to offer something close to his current wage. From a budget perspective that would be less than ideal bordering on disastrous if it's a multi year deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he comes in he’ll be asking first if he’s going to start most games given it’s a WC year. If he comes in it suggests from the outside he’s been given assurances of starting surely.

Chindie Posted August 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2022 If Bednarek is the answer we need to ask a different question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Attila Szalai would be worth a punt. Bednarek has 6 seasons of Prem experience so we know just how crap he is. He’s hardly shown signs of improving. Matty Cash and Danny Ings need to intervene & have words here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) what a deal hey. We offer 40m for JWP in 2021, and end up with Ings & Bednarek for 40m. Southampton playing a good game. Genuine question, is he any better than Hause? Edited August 19, 2022 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much rather sign someone like him on the cheap who potentially could really help us out then an aging Bednarek who is prone for errors constantly.

desensitized43 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Truly horrible. Let’s just cut out the middle man and start every game 0-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Thought he must be out of contract in the summer for this to have any legs. Nope, 2025. Would be a straight up bad move to give this fella his retirement contract. Maybe if we get him on a free it's worthwhile taking him to 30 before he heads back off to Europe's more minor leagues on a free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Not saying it was solely down to him of course but the guy has been in the heart of defense in two 0-9 defeats and a 0-6 defeat during his time with Southampton, along with a bunch more horrible displays among then a 0-4 against us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at 26, with many seasons in the Prem, it’s reasonable to assume he’s reached his ceiling. Not likely to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
