Matthew Le God Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 Would be amazing if true, but very hard to believe. I don't think betfairfootball is the best source for football rumours.
mdearlove Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 Just saw that - had to laugh - really can't see that one coming to fruition!
Big Bad Bob Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 we really do need a 'spurt coffee over monitor' emoticon!!
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 He is rubbish. Hasnt got a proven track record in english football. Our current crop of strikers are better than him.
Fan The Flames Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 Has he been spotted yet in a local hotel or a service station, we need to know.
Marsdinho Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 MWaahaha hhahah a hahahh ahahah hahahaha hahaha aahah ha haaaah ha
Toomer Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 He lived in Chilworth when he was down the road, can't see it myself any way he would not be happy to play second fiddle.
Big Bad Bob Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 Has he been spotted yet in a local hotel or a service station, we need to know. Spotted at Ocean Village, Carsten Jancker was his chauffer, Bierhoff his man servant!!
Saint Garrett Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 Double deal I heard with him and Skacel to sign tomorrow...
david in sweden Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 http://www.betfairfootball.com/league-one/southampton/premier-league-star-to-southampton/? DON'T THINK SO:shakey: I don't necessarily think it has to be HIM, but I do think that it's the sort of move that AP might make to get extra firepower up front. IF it's not Benjani, then I still expect " a name with Prem. experience ".
Saint Fan CaM Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 I like over the top rumours. They quickly start with rationally cynical reaction, then someone will actually think there's a hint of truth in there somewhere, someone else will provide reasons why it's actually quite likely, but someone will decide the player we have no hope of signing actually isn't good enough for us. then the thread will disappear with oliver bierhoff and carstan jancker. Spot on the money there - very good! (:
patred44 Posted 19 July, 2010 Author Posted 19 July, 2010 and the slightly less believable RUMOUR MILL .COM has this little gem "Lee Holmes was in talks with Bristol Rovers but talks have broken down as Saints will only sell as part of a deal for Chris Lines, and Bristol Rovers don't want to sell. Also Holmes has been impressive for Saints in the Pre–Season friendlies in Switzerland and could well feature for Southampton this season.":lol::lol: wait a minute that sounds feasible:scared::scared::uhoh:

Hatch Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 is that the same Benjani who is probably currently on at least £40k per week. Could be true.
patred44 Posted 19 July, 2010 Author Posted 19 July, 2010 Not just feasible - highly likely I would say. well there you go from Bejani to Lines, via Holmes in a few posts....
Matthew Le God Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 is that the same Benjani who is probably currently on at least £40k per week. Could be true. He isn't "currently on" anything. He is unattached.
fish fingers Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 He did nearly go to Notts County in league 2 in January, i think this is a dead cert.
Doctoroncall Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 Signing Lines would depress me a bit. No offence to him, but it's hardly a next level signing is it. Danns or Stock would be, or Oakley for that matter. Agree, as I would with a big name signing that has the potential to cause a rift in the squad for being the special player, afterall it's a team sport so a player that can fit into the team and do well at championship level would do for me (eg Fonte).
scotty Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 I'd take him, but only if the Rooney deal falls through. Cant see that happening tho
thesaint sfc Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 He'll play brilliantly with Skacel if we sign him too.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 It seems that any player that is linked will never sign........perhaps if NC sees any reports, he cancels deals. He likes surprises
Pilchards Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 It seems that any player that is linked will never sign........perhaps if NC sees any reports, he cancels deals. He likes surprises Harry Rednapp is coming back to manage Saints. That's sorted :-)
scotty Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 Harry Rednapp is coming back to manage Saints. That's sorted :-) dont mate, not even in jest.
Toomer Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 Harry Rednapp is coming back to manage Saints. That's sorted :-) The nearest he will get to Southampton is the big house in Winchester when he gets sent down for tax evasion.
scotty Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 The nearest he will get to Southampton is the big house in Winchester when he gets sent down for tax evasion. Wont happen. Too slippery by half.
chrisobee Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 I don't think betfairfootball is the best source for football rumours. Massive understatement TBH !
chrisobee Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 I wonder where the rumour started..... Betfair Just guessing though.
chrisobee Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 we really do need a 'spurt coffee over monitor' emoticon!! St Landrew is the expert on that, ask him for advice or make it a forum suggestion
SaintBobby Posted 20 July, 2010 Posted 20 July, 2010 Must be utter tosh, surely? I still like rumours linking us with top (ish) players though, it kind of feeds through into a general zeitgeist of ambition - even if the particular rumour is baloney.
lambertsrightleg Posted 20 July, 2010 Posted 20 July, 2010 i saw him and brian stock having a coffee in west quay, no word of a lie.
trousers Posted 20 July, 2010 Posted 20 July, 2010 i saw him and brian stock having a coffee in west quay, no word of a lie. Eating a Shergar sandwich per chance?

Mr Saints Posted 20 July, 2010 Posted 20 July, 2010 http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Transfer-news-Wolves-West-Ham-and-Blackburn-in-three-way-fight-for-ex-Man-City-star-Benjani-article531225.html As its the Mirror, its safe to say he won't be going to Wolves, West Ham or Blackburn then.

supersonic Posted 23 July, 2010 Posted 23 July, 2010 Would be amazing if true. Let's just hope the echo don't run the story!!
