Tokyo-Saint Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 (edited) No source other than it's doing the rounds on twitter but... Apparently saints Have had 8 million offer for Cameroonian CB Kana-Biyik accepted too. Would be good if it's true.

beavis17 Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 Where have you heard that one from then ? Apart from Dibden in the HCDAJFU thread ? He was linked earlier in the summer and has been watched by a number of bigger clubs which suggests a similar situation to that of Ramirez. Plus he's Italian, he plays for Villareal who are set to lose their top players following relegation and Les Reed was supposedly in Spain on business last week... I'm not saying we will sign him but from what Nixon has said he's probably not a name you can rule out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he didn't, anyway he never got his wallet out, Casey was buying the bubbly after getting a hole in one. Meanwhile.... what I did hear was that Jaidi went off on a "mission" the other week, he returned and said "it was successful" Jaidi is our "all things African" man and this guy is African.

VectisSaint Posted 24 August, 2012 Share Posted 24 August, 2012 in case anyone is wondering about the weakness in our central defence.. I'm asking myself.... if replacing a Dutchman and a Portuguese...... with a Japanese and a French-speaking African will help things run more smoothly ? Esperanto lessons, anyone ? Who said anything about replacing? We need 4 top class CBs in the PL, at the moment we have 2 effectively. I think its quite clear that what we are looking for is options, not necessarily replacements, it has always seemed clear to me that NA thinks Jos & Jose are first choice, but clearly with injuries and suspensions we need able options, no disrespect to Seaborne and Stephens, but they are not the answer. And despite what others may say, we need a left and right option, not all CBs are the same, at least not when playing 4 at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 24 August, 2012 Share Posted 24 August, 2012 He has said in the press today that he is happy to stay at Rennes and hasn't asked to leave but its obviously nice to be linked with clubs as it shows you are doing well. Didn't mention any specific clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
