source?

 

[Blade82]

source?

It’s early but yes, whoever came up with this one is definitely on the sauce

 

[Caveblade]

Cost a fortune and is surely into his fifties by now!

 

[FriethBlade]

Wasn't in Southamptond squad at the weekend. He's 31 and needs game time, he's got pace and aggression, I can think of much worse options and I bet he's gettable.

[Silent Blade]

sitwell mentioned in here last year that we were interested in Long

Wages...

Age
Resale value
Wage

 

[Grizzly blade]

Hmmm...I don’t think this one fits the profile.
Straightforward loan a maybe if the wages are right. And he would be a straight replacement for Sharp.
But as a permanent transfer I don’t see it happening if a fee is involved as I’d expect the fee to be too high.

Get him in. Quality player.

Not a chance of happening mind you

As a loan only, yes I agree with that, except I don't see him as a straight replacement for Sharp

Sharp is still scoring goals

Fun fact: in the 2016/17 season Long was the fastest player in the Premier League with a top speed of 35.31kph. He managed this remarkable achievement despite having a number of crippling disabilities such as not being French, black, or a hyphen in his surname.

That was a couple of years ago mind...






























Pace!

Why did I read "pay grade" as "gay pride".................?

Seen another one of these fan casts saying Southampton only have 5 strikers. Same article suggests we should sign him and Gallagher, which would leave them with 3 strikers which would be a very risky strategy.

It's important that you don't feel you have to hide your true self................

 

[SwissBlade]

Shane Long is probably one player that we really don't need. Waste of space.

 

[JackSUFC]

Southampton will be in a relegation scrap this season, so I highly doubt they're in a position to be offloading senior forwards. Next.

 

[Torrix1889]

Very valid point and maybe I am not what I thought I was for 46 years......

I don't know torrix, but I bet nobody else has, keep in touch.

Strangely enough, so did I

 

[RossingtonBlade]

When was the last time he scored?

 

[S5Blade]

When was the last time he scored?

08-04-18 in a 3-2 loss to Arsenal. So yeah, a little over 4 months ago, or for context. about 7 games ago?

I’m sure before that he didn’t score in about 20 odd games thats all

According to Wikipedia:

Years Team Apps (Gls)
2005 Cork City 1 (0)
2005–2011 Reading 174 (44)
2011–2014 West Bromwich Albion 81 (19)
2014 Hull City 15 (4)
2014– Southampton 122 (20)

Not a great record, is it?

My god. Is that the source of this rumour?

No, his agent was probably, that article is just a way of bringing it to our attention

Terrible but he’s got pace so apparently we need to sign him

8 league games, 11 games total however he only started 15 games all season, most of him time was coming off the bench.
