itchen_dan Posted 9 January, 2013 Share Posted 9 January, 2013 Napoli have today signed Pablo Armero on loan with an option to buy, a CB/LB. Seems they've decided not to pursue Astori. Just us & Milan left now by the look of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 9 January, 2013 Share Posted 9 January, 2013 Milan probably don't even want him, they're after a bloke from Udinese but they're probably just in cohorts with Cagliari and the agent. We showed ourself vunerable over the Ramirez affair, leaked, done deal, not so much and more money this way if you please Signor cos your fans are getting arsey. The Modus Operandii looks very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 9 January, 2013 Share Posted 9 January, 2013 Well I can't see this one being sorted any time soon but if I attempted to summarise the last few weeks of activity with Saints glasses on I would say: 1. Cagliari are in financial trouble and seem forced to sell their most valuable asset (Astori) 2. Saints, Liverpool, Napoli, and AC Milan are credited with serious interest 3. Napoli's interest was born out of having two defenders suspended for 6 months - although in the meantime they have signed a winger on loan from Udinese. 3. Liverpool's interest appeared to be at a value far lower than Cagliari wish to sell for regardless of their financial state 4. AC Milan would like the player but they have financial problems themselves - much of their activity will depend on selling Robinho (deal fell through) and Abate (in talks with Zenit) 5. Saints are credited with having made a bid that Cagliari haven't rejected out of hand and also that Astori has agreed personal terms. So from a Saints perspective we must feel confident that neither Napoli or AC Milan will be in a position to bid more than our initial bid, hopefully leaving us in a position in a few weeks to be the only serious bidder about and chance to get the player for less than Cagliari are demanding right now? The risk is of course that Napoli and / or AC Milan do make a bid better than ours and that in the meantime we do not pick up points in the league that Astori may otherwise help us if we stumped up the extra cash. I am all for playing the long game but would be interesting to see how long Saints are going to hold out for on this one. Although perhaps if I was being negative after Villa we've got Chelsea, Everton, and then Man Utd before the transfer window closes and whether Astori would make a real difference in those fixtures could be debatable.

Seems a fair summary. IMO the fee/haggling is the issue not the supposed interest from others. As Dan said Napoli have signed another CB and Milan know all about Astori and could have set a deal up before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSaint Posted 9 January, 2013 Share Posted 9 January, 2013 If the Fonte injury is severe we definitely need two CBs. Hooiveld is not ideal as a backup option as it is but if he or Maya were to get injured we would end up being forced to play Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not in the original one, could we add him now as we're in a TW. Not suggesting playing him but we might need him on the bench. Transfer window is open so registration window is open and we can put him back in the squad (and take him out again if he's loaned out again though if he plays for us it gets a bit murky with the 2 clubs per-season rule). Also only players over 21 (on the start of the season I think) have to be registered, Martin is 23 so needs to be registered though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 10 January, 2013 Share Posted 10 January, 2013 He might be under the age needed to register someone so could be included that way. no he's 23 pushing 24 so he has to be in the 25, we have an answer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the news on those 2 isn't good we could go to Villa with a really makeshift side. Still we'll see later when the prematch is up on Player.
