Saint Charlie Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 Some more Liverpool links today, need to get this one over the line. Coutinho would be a bonus if it came to anything but this is key to our survival chances IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 Some more Liverpool links today, need to get this one over the line. Coutinho would be a bonus if it came to anything but this is key to our survival chances IMO. Hopefully we're lining up a couple of other bids for similar quality CBs to 1) Push Cagliari along and put the pressure back on them. 2) To ensure we do get a quality CB in sooner rather than later.

Greenridge Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 Digressing somewhat but you don't see too many Italian players making the move to (or a success in) the Prem? I guess it's the same with the lack of British players in the other direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 There is competition for both Astori and Coutinho however I have heard from someone ITK on transfers in general (not saints specifically) that Saints are well placed on both fronts. Not to say we wont be gazumped along the line but as it stands both deals are progressing well it seems. Be good to get a CB in asap as we are fooked with big Jos in the team.

Turkish Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 Good grow to like the new positive Turkish. KUTGW. Not sure about the Italian rock music in that video though. It's Turkish release v13. New IOS upgrade has adjusted default mode to be "postive" rather than "sarcastic". It also has a "serious discussion" mode which automatically gets turned on when discussing new players, finances, chariman and transfers. There was a glitch in that v13 still slips into "p*ss taking" when discussing things such as fancy dress or other mundane and pathetic subjects. "Sarcastic" is still an option but needs to be selected rather than an automatic shift in mode whenever the mood takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 Maybe, but do we really want to be outbidding Liverpool for players? Not really sure Liverpool are serious competitors in this, they have Agger and Skrtel, plus carragher and cates as backup and I doubt they would spend £10 million in area that doesn't really need improving. If they sold one of those maybe, but I think they need improvement in other areas. Plus they have a recent transfer history of buying overpriced english players so it's in those cases we don't want to be outbidding them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went out in Liverpool it was about the same as any other city centre, maybe a tad cheaper than here but the same drunk people, police, same bars and clubs really, just a tad bigger. Bristol is a better night out IMO Agree though there are some sh*t parts of Southampton, just like Liverpool, Liverpool is just bigger so it's crap parts cover more area, you can get lost in the crap. Whereas the areas around Soton are better. Their squad isn't much better than ours, or at least it's not performing much better. Very reliant on Suarez who is a class above and an aging Gerrard. The likes of Agger, Skrtel, Reina aren't performing to to their usual standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
