probs heardabout his $6m release clause

 

No this was inserted into his contract if we get relegated

 

Thank you Thornhill

 

MLG apology accepted :)

 

Please provide some evidence of a "$6m release clause".

 

$6m = £3.7m

 

Do you honestly think Cortese would sign a player for £12m and put a £3.7m release clause in his contract? ffs

There isn't one.

 

The confusion comes from the article about Astori where it said he would have a relegation release clause the same as Ramirez does.

 

Clearly meaning Ramirez also has one, not that the value is the same.

 

Some absolute wallies on this Forum today.

Would go for that. International keeper for that price is good, not hit if off for Roma but would be good for us.

 

Don't know that he's much cop on crosses though, shot stopper, little else. Fulham back up target apparently.

You can't be a top keeper in the UK if you're not good on crosses.

Surprised no one else has mentioned this yet so I'll go.

 

Nixon been active on Twitter today/tonight. Says we are looking at a new CB target. He's not doing the story yet as it has to progress "a step further". Seems its very much an active transfer and wait and see tomorrow.

 

reluctantnicko: @markreeves999 Chasing a new centre half. So the other targets can't be working out.

markreeves999: @reluctantnicko is that the Danish CB?

reluctantnicko: @markreeves999 No. Another one.

markreeves999: @reluctantnicko will you be giving me a name lol?

reluctantnicko: @markreeves999 Too early. But significance is u haven't got any of earlier targets.

 

Zoggers87: @reluctantnicko @markreeves999 A decent one? UK based?

reluctantnicko: @Zoggers87 Foreign. Not doing story yet. Needs to go a step further.

Zoggers87: @reluctantnicko Fair play. Saints style? i.e young with high potential?

reluctantnicko: @Zoggers87 No. Bit emergency job. But no mug.

ConnorArmstrong: @reluctantnicko Alan, when will we be able to learn the identity of the target??

reluctantnicko: @ConnorArmstrong If Saints make an offer tomorrow.

Exactly who I was thinking of but Nixon has since said he has never seen this guy play himself so cant be anybody too well known but must be a biggish name if you get what I mean (e.g Ramirez, lots had heard of him but not many had seen him)

I'm glad we've moved on if the Italians in the Astori deal are messing us about. Wouldn't be surprised if it gets wrapped up quickly.

Quite possible we wanted two CBs. Plus Nixon did say an offer hasnt been made on this yet.

 

We know we have made an offer for Astori and that they player seems keen from reports. We wont have just ended our interest because its taking a while - we would have expected that.

We are now linked with Alvaraz of Inter.

 

 

Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri

Southampton should receive Inter contact in next days to be offered a swap proposal between Ramirez and Alvarez, according to Sky Italy

Hopefully they receive contact from us a few days later telling them where to stick it.

What a bizarre thing to ask. I was asking him for evidence a) we were in for Dawson in the summer and b) we "cocked it up"

 

Where's your evidence that he meant that?

 

Not signing Dawson could be seen as a cock up. That's reasonable opinion to hold.

Your evidence for such a statement is?

 

Take it or leave it, I obviously have no evidence to speak of, nor will I be revealing a source. I have my links at the club, through my past, though I dont talk to people that often any more.

 

Im certainly not going to explain myself to you MLG.

 

BTW can you stop hounding Nixon on twitter with your pedantic nonsense, I quite like being able to read his latest titbits, I certainly dont need to hear you banging your same old drum.

Stop just being a cock for the sake of it. Someone said the club made a cock up of signing Dawson.

 

That implies it was in the process of happening. Has there been any evidence of that? No.

 

The picking on of MLG is absolutely pathetic. Some more forum members need to get a life.

 

No wonder some people don't want to pay a sub when **** like this appears when someone just deals with the facts.

How have I "hounded" him? I've ask him an occasional question and will continue to do so. I'm not going to stop because somehow that irritates you.

The evidence is in his two part statement. It is quite clear what he means.

 

Dawson is the captain of Spurs. Why do think he was ever an option for Saints?

 

Well he would have signed for QPR had they paid him enough.

Its not the questioning thats the issue, its the pedantic crap, when Nixon mentioned something about us going for players out of our reach you went off on one about Ramirez etc

 

The pedantry is rather annoying. He was making a point, something we were guilty of in the summer (gaston excluded) and also applies this window

Yep. It's a real shame.

We like buying from Italy it seems, so lets just buy Stekelenburg from Roma, whose an international keeper at a perfect age, and be done with it. Only €3M.

Or we could buy a 19 year old from Birmingham who has been leaking goals and has no experience for 3 times the price roughly. Alternatively, we could stick with our 3 and keep changing them every 3 games which won't solve anything.

Not a hard choice for me.

When have I ever said anything even remotely like "I think Dawson was or is an option for Saints".

 

Do find some evidence for that. Good luck.

Isn't that what twitter is for? questions, asnwers, statment and some debate.

 

It's Nixon's opinion that some of our targets are out of our reach, just his opinion nothing else, which is derogatory to the club IMO, MLG has as much right to question and contradict that statement with his opinion.

 

As a journalist putting out such statements he should expect some comment and countering.

Or we could just play our best keeper - Boruc. You know, the man with 14 clean sheets in Serie A last season, nearly 50 caps for Poland and plenty of Champion's League experience. It's not a hard decision to make - he's here until June and we can re-evaluate our goalkeeping options then. Kelvin will probably retire from playing or leave, Gazza will probably go on loan or be rotated with an experienced keeper, whether that's Boruc or somebody else.

French football writer Matt Spiro on Twitter: "Toulouse confirm Moussa Sissoko can leave for €3.5m (contract up in summer). Hasn't lived up to 'new Essien' tag, but that's a real bargain."

 

You obviously haven't had the dubious pleasure of seeing him this season then. A right lazy sod, gives up easily and doesn't tackle any more. No doubt just running down his contract on the way out. Bad attitude, that's nothing new though.

Oh, no hadn't seen him this season. Had looked decent when i'd seen him before.
