Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 16 January, 2013 Author Posted 16 January, 2013 Zarate is a very good player, quick, skilfull, finishing his only downside, would take him in a second but can't see that it's true. Could play on either flank (if an advanced winger), in behind, or as a pacey player off Rickie.

Potentially, although his stock has fallen in the last couple of years. He is no longer the 'new Makelele'...still only 23 though.
shurlock Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Riise been told he can leave for free this window...thought he was a regular for them?....if Fox buggers off to Forest would be decent till the end of the season.. Punch absolutely murdered him at their place. And incredibly on the outside for a change. For that reason, I'm out...
Junior Mullet Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I never get this cup tied thing for a player like butland He is hardly going to walk into a team that is still in the FA Cup or likely to last too long If you were making an investment for the next 5-8 years. Worrying whether he is cup tied for a competition you won't likely win is rather odd Lets say he signs for Fulham.... Would it matter hugely of he was cup tied?? Brum need to sell him this window. They were making sure he didn't pick up a knock.
tajjuk Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Potentially, although his stock has fallen in the last couple of years. He is no longer the 'new Makelele'...still only 23 though. Hence the price I suppose but the sort of defensive midfielder we need I reckon tall and strong.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 http://metro.co.uk/2013/01/15/aston-villa-target-moussa-sissoko-to-fill-stiliyan-petrov-gap-3353320/ Think he would be a good signing for us and at £3 million as well. Isn't he bezza's with our Morgan?
Chez Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 (edited) I saw Zarate play live quite a few times for the Zulus. Very good player, great skills, small, nippy, nice touch, ability to beat a player. He didn't really get a good run in the side. I can't recall why, perhaps the other two strikers were doing well at the time. He came off the bench a lot for them. The bluenoses loved him. I seem to recall they had him on loan and he would have cost a fortune to buy. I think he improved after going to Lazio. He was well liked there. When banned he watched games with the Ultras. Not seen him for a while, but if he is better than he was at Brum then it's a yes from me. Wages would be a massive concern though. Not sure we can afford him. Edited 16 January, 2013 by Chez
SuperSAINT Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I can remember him being impressive for Birmingham. Probably a more realistic option than Coutinho.

MOSaint Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Rennes president has said another PL club has offered them more money for M'Vila so QPR have to raise their bid.
Window Cleaner Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 (edited) Rennes president has said another PL club has offered them more money for M'Vila so QPR have to raise their bid. suckers Everton and Spurs apparently, Everton because they want to sell Fellaini to Chelsea and Tottenham because Parker looked utter rubbish when he replaced the injured Sandro last week.

Wes Tender Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 ....."Zárate caused controversy when he was photographed apparently giving a fascist salute while watching Lazio lose to Bari in March 2010 among a group of fans, though his spokesman claimed afterwards that the player "did not realise the significance of his gesture" and did not know who Hitler or Mussolini were.[19][20]" Hassan Kachloul used to imitate the Fred Scuttle salute and he probably didn't know who he was either. Two fine examples of it in our last match at the Dell/
Saint Scott Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I'd like to make to see us make a move for somebody like Bojan Jokic of Chievo. 1. We like to raid Italy 2. Full Slovenian International 3. 26 years old with good game time behind him 4. A strong full back but with an eye for a pass and able to attack the left side well. Good competition for Luke Shaw who could also learn a lot from him. 5. Would be relatively inexpensive to purchase from an average Italian side.
Olallana Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 According to swedish paper West Ham are offering £2m for Martin Olsson in Blackburn. That price would be a real bargain....
Saint Garrett Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 They already have and it got rejected. It'll be more like 6/7 if they want him I think.
Naboo_thats_who Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Florent Malouda available, would be an exciting option down the left side. Loan until Lallana is fit?
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Florent Malouda available, would be an exciting option down the left side. Loan until Lallana is fit? Oh lordy no, he is well past it.
Window Cleaner Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Oh lordy no, he is well past it. which is why Chelsea haven't had a single offer for him. Needs good players around him to even be mediocre.

Saint Charlie Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Patrick Agymang linked according to a guy at work - imagine he is winding me up.
Window Cleaner Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Patrick Agymang linked according to a guy at work - imagine he is winding me up. sure he doesn't mean Pierre-Emerick Aubemeyang ?? Point striker from St Etienne. Good player.
Saint Charlie Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 (edited) sure he doesn't mean Pierre-Emerick Aubemeyang ?? Point striker from St Etienne. Good player. Maybe, I will ask him. EDIT: He still says it was Agyemang. Maybe true if it was 2008. He has pace but little else so would be very suprised. Edited 17 January, 2013 by Saint Charlie
Dig Dig Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 I have heard the Agymang link as well. Adkins is a long time admirer and believes that he can get a season out of him to provide some pace and depth to the squad. I think he'll have a tough time convincing the committee myself, especially after the Jonno Quick fiasco.
Saint Garrett Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 To be fair we only brought in 2 players last season at this stage didnt we? Lee and Sharp ?

I think he'll have a tough time convincing the committee myself, especially after the Jonno Quick fiasco. He's 32, plays for Stevenage and hasn't scored a goal this season - unlikely to say the least
Tokyo-Saint Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 I was even more surprised. I thought he was a consultant solicitor.
Dig Dig Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 He's 32, plays for Stevenage and hasn't scored a goal this season - unlikely to say the least Still pacey though and surely we'd rather see him play instead of Guly?!
Crab Lungs Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 I think your mate definitely means Pierre Aubymeng... I hope so, anyway.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Still pacey though and surely we'd rather see him play instead of Guly?! get off Gulys back ffs he was our best player last night (1st half) & hes been superb since his return
Smirking_Saint Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 get off Gulys back ffs he was our best player last night (1st half) & hes been superb since his return Lol
Dig Dig Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 I was even more surprised. I thought he was a consultant solicitor. I'll check my source to make sure wires haven't been crossed but pretty sure it's the Stevenage striker and not a solicitor we're after. Unless Nic has forgotten to pay another bill of course.
St. Neil Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Did Royston Drenthe find another club he looked decent at Everton.
S-Clarke Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Did Royston Drenthe find another club he looked decent at Everton. Did he really? He was shipped out of there pretty sharpish.
supersonic Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Did Royston Drenthe find another club he looked decent at Everton. still unattached. Looked good in a couple of games, but if he was good enough, would he be left without a club for so long? Also declaring that you've always been a fan of Liverpool whilst on loan at Everton doesn't really go down too well
Saints4Prem Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 As its reported on this board that the new manager has said there are no new signings coming in should this now be closed ?
S-Clarke Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 As its reported on this board that the new manager has said there are no new signings coming in should this now be closed ? He didn't say that though did he? It was usual candid manager speak after listening back to it. I heard from a third-party that he said that, but actually if you listen back...he didn't. Just keeping his cards close to his chest. One of the reasons why NA's future was often speculated about was his failure to ''lure'' top European names here (which is a load of **** IMO). Well, let's see what this guy can do in the remaining few weeks.

S-Clarke Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 An interesting sub-plot for Southampton fans is the potential summer arrival of talented Espanyol midfielder Joan Verdu, a creative playmaker widely regarded as the Catalan club's best player. Verdu, 29, is out of contract at the end of the season and has not agreed a new deal, with the club struggling to find funds to pay him as they seek to reduce their debts. A host of clubs across Europe are known to be keen on securing his services for nothing in June. Considering his history with Pochettino, it's fairly safe to add Southampton to that list of suitors.
S-Clarke Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Where is that from ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21084201 within this interesting BBC article.
Saint Garrett Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Oh right so just idle speculation really. 1+1... Was Coutinho at Espanyol with Pinocchio?
