Pilchards Posted 25 January, 2013 Share Posted 25 January, 2013 Who the bloody hell do Inter think they are coming over here asking for an extra million? To be honest with you that could of been done over the phone so it's bull****. If the player wants to be at Liverpool then I totally understand as they are a bigger club (history blah blah) but I do believe that he has a friend of his at the club called Lucas who has sold the club to him. I honestly believe Inter are playing a game with us to raise the figure from Liverpool, If not then the player has a difficult decision to make with Saints.

What they can´t do over the phone is to sign papers so THAT might be the reason they would come over.... Of course they´re trying to get the most out of it, I expect the same from us if we were selling a player. Well let´s see if the story ends today...

max_saints Posted 25 January, 2013 Share Posted 25 January, 2013 player prefers Liverpool then let him go there, no point throwing cash at him qpr style, much rather we move on from this stalemate to secure our wide option, we only have a week to go! why not look locally, there's a certain Tom ince at blackpool? or is that not glamorous for NC and his champions league dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Smith Posted 25 January, 2013 Share Posted 25 January, 2013 I find it a little strange that everyone is so hung up on the rumour that this chap prefers Liverpool. It's an assumption that says to saints if you don't give us more we'll let him go for less to Liverpool. Do you think NC would still be near this deal if that was the case? More likely US or Liverpool are already out. BTW, paperwork done over the phone is called a fax, or, can be scanned and emailed, posted later. Good stuff this technology!

For what seemed like years transfer windows were all about trying desparately to keep ahold of players - I was actually glad when they brought in the the windows as it meant everyone would leave us alone for a few months. Used to be the case that one of our players had a good run of form over a few matches and the next week one of the big boys came knocking as they had injury problems.

I agree. And I think that if we can bring in Coutinho that will open up our possibilites in the summer to attract better players. If you show that by making two marque signings (Gaston and Coutinho) other players will notice the ambitions a lot more than just to have one signing of that type.

tajjuk Posted 25 January, 2013 Share Posted 25 January, 2013 Coutinho is 20. 12 June 1992. Why are people assuming Ince is better? This lad is currently playing for Inter Milan and has a full Brazil cap, i'm not quite sure how people are working that one out. not that i dont rate Ince but a 20 year old Inter Milan player with a cap for one of the best international teams in the world sounds in a different league, no? I don't think Ince is better, Coutinho is the better player now and I think has more potential.However, I think he (Ince) is a decent prospect which could potentially improve our squad, fits what we need (versatile wide man with pace and trickery) and being English will take less time to settle and adapt than Coutinho. I also think he should be cheaper and might be easier (quicker) to acquire as seemingly no one else is after him. I also think he's better than Zaha who Man Utd have jsut paid £15 million for.
