SNSUN Posted 17 June, 2012 Share Posted 17 June, 2012 Don't believe anything you read on this site... http://www.southamptonrumours.co.uk/ Any idiot can post a "rumour" on it, and they certainly do... I'm amused at how my Simon Kjaer rumour from weeks ago took off on that site. I've almost started half believing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Scott Posted 18 June, 2012 Share Posted 18 June, 2012 QPR to sign Ryan Nelson on July 1st. I still think he could of added some experience to our defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 18 June, 2012 Share Posted 18 June, 2012 QPR to sign Ryan Nelson on July 1st. I still think he could of added some experience to our defence. More fool QPR imo. We need pace in our team, the last thing we need to do as add aging/slow premier league players just because they have 'experience' in the PL.

Hoffenheim's recent history - the very fact they are where they are and how they've got there. Like spending £7 million on a player whilst in the second tier.

S-Clarke Posted 18 June, 2012 Share Posted 18 June, 2012 Babel clearly has talent if used in the right way, and played regularly - whcih he never really was at Liverpool, was always a bit-part player and could never get any consistency. I always thought that he'd do well at a smaller/middle premier league club where he would be a ''big fish''. Interesting if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Probably similar to what we paid for Rodriguez to be honest, there was a large sum of money set aside to get a ''big name'' striker - it's been set aside for the last 12 months it seems.

S-Clarke Posted 18 June, 2012 Share Posted 18 June, 2012 £6m before Wolves will talk about Jarvis. A bit more attractive than the £10+ figures that I was reading. It's still a hell of alot of money though, I think there are better wide players out in Europe who we could snare for that price (or less).

Yep, that's the sort of signing as i'd class as exciting in Sky Sports terms. He's just not done it at Juventus for whatever reason and the club/his agent have been offering him around, I doubt many of the ''bigger'' clubs are too keen on taking a gamble so it leaves the middle half/bottom load of teams in the PL' and other european leagues. I imagine we'd have to pay a decent wedge in terms of a loan fee and a % of his wages, so I'd be inclined to say that would knock out quite a few of the bottom half premiership clubs. I might be talking rubbish and he's not the player we're interested in, but to be honest when Sky say an exciting deal I doubt it's someone from the NPC.
