itchen_dan Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 The People is linking us with a 7 million bid for Tello from Barcelona, rivalling Liverpool's interest. Can't see anything about a centre back though. That'd be the one Nixon was on about! He never mentioned it was a CB so I don't know where people got that from. Seems its either Tello or Phillips for this role then. I'll be honest, I know nothing about him.
Saint Charlie Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 (edited) The People is linking us with a 7 million bid for Tello from Barcelona, rivalling Liverpool's interest. Can't see anything about a centre back though. Well he is very highly rated at Barca and played in one of their Cup matches that I saw. Ambitious move with Liverpool and Arsenal keen. Would be even more suprising than Ramirez. Edited 19 August, 2012 by Saint Charlie
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 (edited) Lol good stuff. Only worry is we chase a few ambitious signings to the end of the transfer window and none come off and we end up with no one. Edited 19 August, 2012 by for_heaven's_Saint
SaintRichmond Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Lol good stuff. Only worry is we chase a few ambitious signings to the end of the transfer window and none come off and we end up with noone. From Herman's Hermits ??
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 From Herman's Hermits ?? No, from Brighton...
Saint Charlie Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Nixon says we asked about him to be told he isn't for sale but might be let out on loan if he signs a long term contract.

Can't see anything about a centre back though. there must be something in this as i know for a fact that les read was in barcelona on business last week. i posted this earlier in the week although i didnt know the reason for him being there but this lonks in nicely.
krissyboy31 Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Not sure. Adkins seemed fairly content with Shaw and Fox y/day. Although we could be after a CB who can also play LB...in an emergency. Not exactly sure that is how I took his comments. IMO he was saying that the Buttner deal is dead (and if nothing else happens) then we've got two good left backs in Fox and Shaw. Not sure we would have move Harding on if we were not looking at replacements.
Raging Bull Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Nixon says we asked about him to be told he isn't for sale but might be let out on loan if he signs a long term contract. In that case I'm assuming that if he doesn't sign a long term contract they'll look to sell him.
S-Clarke Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Tello, crikey. Well we're after a winger, but jeez - the level we're after is incredible.
SNSUN Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Sunderland are in talks with Man City over a £10 million bid for winger Adam Johnson. At that price, HCDAJFU. Worth a whisper in the sheik's ear today?

Saint Garrett Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Would have thought we would have already inquired. Was murmurings of it at the start of the transfer window. Is on £130k a week at City.
Whitey Grandad Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Tottenham are softer him too, I believe.
Saint Charlie Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Johnson is talented but rumours of bad attitude. Ramirez would be on less money...
LeBenali Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 It's probably worth mentioning that Nixon also said we're going back with an £8 million bid for Butland, but Liverpool now appear to be the favourites as they're prepared to loan him back to Brum for the season. The other clubs said to be in for him are Man City and Spurs.

beavis17 Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Tello starred in Barcelona's 5-1 win against Real Sociedad tonight. Think this rumour might be dead.
Tartarus112 Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Tello starred in Barcelona's 5-1 win against Real Sociedad tonight. Think this rumour might be dead. Not necessarily as they have Villa to back now. The only reason Tello got a chance last season was Villa's leg break. Wouldn't be surprised to see Tello leave now Villa is back. Whether Saints have a chance it's hard to say. Style of football is right but bigger clubs would be sniffing around. Also with Rodriguez, Lambert, Guly, Sharp and Lee in the squad already how much time would he get on the pitch?
SaintRichmond Posted 20 August, 2012 Posted 20 August, 2012 I know the Buttner threads have been locked, but just wanted to comment, is Man U the mysterious "third party" Premier League Gazumping ??
Saint Charlie Posted 20 August, 2012 Posted 20 August, 2012 I know the Buttner threads have been locked, but just wanted to comment, is Man U the mysterious "third party" Premier League Gazumping ?? No, of course they werent the third party.
SaintRichmond Posted 20 August, 2012 Posted 20 August, 2012 No, of course they werent the third party. Weren't they ?? Didn't realise you knew Sir Alex Obviously you are in the know, so kindly enlighten the unknowing
JustMike Posted 20 August, 2012 Posted 20 August, 2012 OK, with a week and half left of the transfer window we are locking this. Feel free to post individual player links (sensible links, not rumour sites ) to their own thread(s).
