Norm Posted 11 July, 2012 Share Posted 11 July, 2012 Not sure why you need help understading this! A person on twitter claiming to be a football agent has a meeting with Saints at 9am!

itchen_dan Posted 11 July, 2012 Share Posted 11 July, 2012 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/tottenham-close-in-on-joao-moutinho-to-leave-1138386 Although I'm a huge fan of Richardson and always have been since he has been here, I just feel that Naughton would boost the RB slot by quite a bit and give us 2 decent options. Very solid defensively but can get forward and put in some decent crosses. Especially after his success on loan at Norwich last season, I'd happily spend 5m-6m on him. Him and Frazer would be more than good enough for the first season back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS1980 Posted 11 July, 2012 Share Posted 11 July, 2012 Tottenham’s new boss Andre Villas-Boas wants a good look at Kyle Naughton before deciding on a £5million bid from Southampton. Saints are willing to pay close to Spurs’ valuation for Naughton. But AVB wants to see the defender, 23, up close and probably in pre-season games first. Naughton was loaned to Norwich last season and Spurs recently priced Aston Villa out of a move for him. I can't see him being able to get the right back spot from Walker, so just depends if he is happy being back up or not. As his age i think he would be wanting to play first team football, hence why he went to Norwich last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Mockles Posted 11 July, 2012 Share Posted 11 July, 2012 Breaking news from Sky Sports Transfer site ... Rudi Skacel says he is ready for a new challenge after not being offered a fresh contract by Hearts. However, Hearts have not ruled out offering Skacel an extension as the club review their budget. by @skysportsbucko 2:45 PM Quick, get him in! Has he signed yet? OMG - That's hilarious. It must be a laugh a minute on a social with you. I can't stop laughing. Rapier wit. How did you get that idea, cos the club never announced Skacel's signing? Tell me, tell me!?! It must have been even funnier at the time, I can imagine the shrieks of laughter and tom foolery in those popular and trendy bars you must frequent.

S-Clarke Posted 11 July, 2012 Share Posted 11 July, 2012 We were apparently looking at a couple of midfielders from Euorpe as a backup to Davis, but once we sorted out Davis we didn't need to pursue them, so I don't think this is a case of missing out.

Reading (no pun intended) the facts I see it as: * Foreign centre midfield player is signing for Reading * Saints were/are interested in that player * The signing means Reading are no longer in for Carlos Sanchez (Good news for Bolton) Cant be Buttner as he is a left sided player and not central. He is also not big & strong as suggested by Nixon... Michu I think is a good shout but it could also be a player we haven't been publicly linked with.
