Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 (edited) Not sure how true this is, source has been right and wrong in the past, but apparently a player under the name of Franco Zucullini is on our tour of Switzerland with the team. He is a box to box midfielder and plays for Hoffenheim. Edited 9 July, 2010 by Dibden Purlieu Saint stupid predictive text
Dan Johnson Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 According to Wiki he is off to Napoli, also already had 1 full cap for Argentina already!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco_Zuculini
Saint Garrett Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco_Zuculini "On 20 June 2009 left Racing Club and signed a contract with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim[1]. It seems that Zuculini will be wearing the SSC Napoli shirt come 2010-2011 Season, possibly on loan with option to buy. The fee for the player is said to be around the 5 million Euro mark." Where did you hear this rumour from. Certainly an interesting one and woud be a cracking signing if we could pull it off ! Always a good buy on FM

doughnutman Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Immence if he signed though i'm not holding my breath! He is always a great player on FM as well
saintray Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Very hard to believe, but im sure stranger things have happened. Him and Scheinderlin in the middle maybe not this year but next year! Yes please !

Hmmm.....Hoffenheim....Saints training not a million miles away from there (well, a 3.5 hour drive...)....potential loan to Napoli.....Cortese is Italian.....Saints only signing players with 'Z' in their name.....hmmmm..... 1+1+1+1+1 = ?
saintscottofthenortham Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 hmmmmmmm... he is spoke of as an "Immense Talent", "Bundesliga's brightest young player", "£5 Million", "Fast, Young, Energetic"... Dream a little dream for me...
dubai_phil Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Think the source meant that South of England wonder band The Zuccinhi's are off on tour to France if they can get off the Hofbrau in time
Matthew Le God Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 I find this extremely hard to believe. Further to this.... If he isn't out of contract, why is he training with Saints if contracted elsewhere? He is too good to need a trial at an English 3rd tier team. It seems even more far fetched than the Freddy Adu rumours.
northam soul Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Further to this.... If he isn't out of contract, why is he training with Saints if contracted elsewhere? He is too good to need a trial at an English 3rd tier team. It seems even more far fetched than the Freddy Adu rumours. Dont you know that Adu is there as well, the mighty southampton do not sign anybody from a higher division now without trialling them first. My source tells me Beckam,Owen, Adu and that Argentinian bloke are all being put through there paces by Pardew away from the first team squad. The five of them have taken the picturesque mountain trains with the glass roofs all the way down to Montreaux to have their photos taken with Freddy Mercurys Statue.
Saint Billy Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Apparently Diego Maradona is to replace Dean Wilkins as AP's number 2......................true story!
ericofarabia Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Source = Saints coach driver? :-) Nowhere near as good a source for hot rumours as Taxi Drivers, Barbers or some bloke in the pub. Mr Z would only be on our team coach if the driver picked him up hitch hiking!!
ericofarabia Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Would he be the first Saints player with a Z in his name....oh Possibly only the 2nd
St.Patrik Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 The link to the betfair thing... http://www.betfairfootball.com/world-cup/rumour-mill-southampton-to-sign-750k-striker/
John D Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 I see that Rooney has not signed a new contract and is training with an unnamed League one club. weren't we linked with him once. It's on BBC website. Talking about John of course

silversaint Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 I would be extremely suprised if we sign Simeon Jackson. Would rather have Tyson tbh.
Secret Site Agent Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Let me get this straight:: Someone says that a rumour is that Franco Zucullini may be joining us, and there are calls of SOURCE heard in the chamber, and this is debunked based on a web resource that anyone can edit? with no reference to SOURCE. It's the looking glass here, people, it really is.

trousers Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Franco Zucullini will not be joining Saints. Source?
Surman4no7shirt Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Franco Zucullini will not be joining Saints. Really!?
silversaint Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 He has been capped for Argentina, plays for a team in the bundesliga, is worth 5 million, do you need anymore reasons?
Toomer Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Franco Zucullini will not be joining Saints. Well thats just fecked up my weekend then!!!!!!!!!!!!
MongoNeil Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 This is all a big mix up, we're not signing Franco Zucullini, we're signing his cousin. George Weah told me personally.
dubai_phil Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 He has been capped for Argentina, plays for a team in the bundesliga, is worth 5 million, do you need anymore reasons? Yes, but apart from that why won't he be signing?
S-Clarke Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 People keep saying that there will be a ''massive signing'' or ''massive news'' - who knows...
fish fingers Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Franco Zucullini will not be joining Saints. That's pure speculation.
thorpie the sinner Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 I am still a dreamer and prepared to believe!!!!!!! In fact, I am listening to ' I dreamed a dream..' as we speak!! We are indeed a club going places so why not
Dynamo Naive Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Agree about Jackson – hasn't lived up to the hype when I've seen him.
silversaint Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Yes, but apart from that why won't he be signing? Oh apart from that there's no reason why he won't be signing. Infact I suppose it's pretty much nailed on!!
John D Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 (edited) Because we've run out of pens - part of the cost cutting by Mr C ummm lost DP quote somewhere Edited 9 July, 2010 by John D lost quote
Ken Tone Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Well I'd never heard of Zucillini before I read this thread and I have absolutely no idea whether he will sign or not. I felt the public had a right to know that. My source is "direct from the horse's mouth" before anyone asks. K.
dubai_phil Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Agree about Jackson – hasn't lived up to the hype when I've seen him. Think you're on the wrong thread mate - monkey chicken petting zoo is 5 threads below this one HTH
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 9 July, 2010 Author Posted 9 July, 2010 Immence if he signed though i'm not holding my breath! He is always a great player on FM as well He does play a lot of Football Manager actually. Seems a decent enough link. Rob, if your reading this, and you were lying, this is why no-one likes you, cos your a nobhead.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 9 July, 2010 Author Posted 9 July, 2010 Hang on, he's just text me and said it's Bruno Zuccullini, his younger brother. Either way, probably still cr@p.
Gorgiesaint Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Hang on, he's just text me and said it's Bruno Zuccullini, his younger brother. Either way, probably still cr@p. Well he exists - squad number 36 for Racing Club in Argentina.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 9 July, 2010 Author Posted 9 July, 2010 Well he exists - squad number 36 for Racing Club in Argentina. That's a bonus at least.
Saint2Hotty Posted 9 July, 2010 Posted 9 July, 2010 Even if true, surely we would have the normal problems obtaining a work permit!
