SuperMikey Posted 16 July, 2012 Share Posted 16 July, 2012 Musacchio is a decent player, only 5'11" though so not that dominant Jaidi replacement that we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 16 July, 2012 Share Posted 16 July, 2012 Given Villareal's plight it is a plausible but (IMHO) underwhelming rumour... Why underwhelming? The guy is 21/22 and has caps for Argentina and over 60 la Liga games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 16 July, 2012 Share Posted 16 July, 2012 I mentioned Musacchio on this thread about a week ago, saying he would be a good signing. I assume they got it from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxstone Posted 16 July, 2012 Share Posted 16 July, 2012 Why underwhelming? The guy is 21/22 and has caps for Argentina and over 60 la Liga games... He was part of a not very impressive defence in a relegated side, question as to whether he is big enough (in terms of height) for the Prem, and caps for his country does not necessarily indicate a good player - Especially in the sometimes perplexing selections of the Argentine national team. He is technically good on the ground which of course does fit our system, but I would much prefer to see at least one no-nonsense "big guy" with some experience back there for us.

At different stages at signings, only a limited number of people know about transfers. If people tell you things, they say things like don't mention his nationality/age, etc, as many people at the club may know a player is signing, but only a few can identify which player. If people then come on here and say who it is, just to satisfy you, they put jobs at risk. So I think I'll just stick to letting fellow fans on here know when good things may be happening, Asshole.

wild-saint Posted 16 July, 2012 Share Posted 16 July, 2012 I went to a Wedding on Friday and Les Reed was also there. Unfortunately although I knew he would be at the evening bash and my plan was to ply him with drinks until he spilt some gossip I got far to drunk and was in no state to chat football. One or two people did try but he was predictably coy on all things related to transfers. Shame really.good party and great hangover though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 16 July, 2012 Share Posted 16 July, 2012 (edited) Probably that Reading are willing to offer bigger wages. What do you think? It won't be that, because we've been told wages don't matter, it's all about the vision. That academy players will ignore £100k a week at Man U to stay at Saints and players will sign for us for less money than elsewhere because of the vision and the training facilities. Also not forgetting Southampton is near the sea and the new forest, it has the 7th best shopping centre in England and Portswood and Highfield junior schools are amoungst the best in Hampshire. Wages are irrelevant, weve been told. Edited 16 July, 2012 by Turkish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 16 July, 2012 Share Posted 16 July, 2012 They don't need to accept bids, or reject bids. He's open to talk to whoever he wants to, if the club wants to be civil and discuss compo straight away then that's down to them, but the player is out of contract and no bids legally need to be made as it could go to a tribunal.

Reading were reported to have had a bid accepted but McDermott stated yesterday that they would sign Mariappa and one other that they have had their eye on for a while, believed to be Chris Gunter or Danny Simpson. So perhaps they may have cooled their interest in him? I have to say, I havent really heard of him but seems to be a strong player and still very young.

So perhaps they may have cooled their interest in him? I have to say, I havent really heard of him but seems to be a strong player and still very young. It does seem like they've moved away from this guy for whatever reason. He's your typical french/african powerhouse though and would do great in the PL imo. I assume we'd use him as a CB first and foremost if we did get him. Also another note on Reading, they're pushing ahead on the Gunter deal - I heard over the w/e they were also trying to hijack the Clyne deal, so the fact that they're now pushing the Gunter deal through suggest to me that they were too late on the Clyne front.
