Olallana Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 Who gives a f*ck? It was just a question. For ME I dont care at all as I think a lot of english players are extremely overrated so personally I´m happy with that. Just a thought since CB in PL is probably one of the toughest positions to play for players coming from other countries and perhaps not used to the type of game played there.

And they were very experienced with many national games, but I agree on that one of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 You need 3 decent centre halves anyway. THey will all play their part even if the Itie does join. Not going to complain about having 3 quality CBs, but it's a weird position to cover, bit like a back up keeper, you might be a decent player, but you can go a whole season with hardly any game time, as opposed to a back up forward who will get chucked on most weeks for 15/20mins or a midfielder that'll often get brought on to help close a game off.

In the interest of the english club is real, Astori really like in Premier. However, there are a few possibilities that the deal can go to port, and a deal difficult. Looking a possibility: Tweeted @FRANCESCalciO: SportMediaset saying Cagliari and Italy defender Davide Astori close to joining EPL side Southampton for 10 million euro. Puzzling move. Translated: Davide Astori has chosen his future will be far from Italy. The almost 26-year old defender (having a birthday next Monday) has reached an agreement with Southampton.

dubai_phil Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 1) Why do we need a CB? Aaron Martin's just back from loan at Palarse 2) More seriously. I expect this will run for a few days. The rumours on the Ramirez deal were a season long loan for around 5/10mil and the option to buy at the end of that for a further 5mil or so. Clearly that didn't happen and hence we took out the loan against future TV money (it also gave us an out if he was rubbish/we got relegated.

Cagliari in rosso, c’è anche il nome di Davide Astori tra i possibili partenti. Tante squadre sono accostate al difensore, tra queste c’è anche il Southampton, che ha già pescato in Italia con Gaston Ramirez. L’interesse del club inglese è reale, Astori piace molto in Premier. Ci sono però poche possibilità che l’affare possa andare in porto, è una trattativa difficile. Cagliari are in red [overdrawn \ have no money], It's possibile Davide Astori will go. Many squads are chasing the defender, including Southampton, who already "fished" in Italy with Gaston Ramirez. The interest of the English club is real, Astori would like to play in the premier league [sic]. But there is little possibility the transfer will go through, it is a difficult transfer.

Surman4no7shirt Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 Tutto Napoli - local rag like the Echo here, but quoting Mediaset the largest media company in Italy: http://www.tuttonapoli.net/?action=read&idnotizia=130385 Futuro inglese per Davide Astori (25). Secondo quanto riferisce Sportmediaset, il difensore del Cagliari ha raggiunto l'accordo di massima con il Southampton. Si lavora in queste ore sulla cifra che gli inglesi verseranno nella casse del patron Massimo Cellino: l'offerta è di circa 10 milioni di euro. Astori era un obiettivo anche del Napoli in questo mercato di gennaio. The future is English for Davide Astori, 25. According to MediaSet Sport, the Cagliari defender has reached terms of agreement with Southampton. The English must now agree the final price with Massimo Cellino, the owner [of Cagliari]. The offer is around €10mil. Astori was also linked with Napoli in this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
