Just about to post the same piece. Interesting as it's the same journo who did the piece before the end of the season saying that 2 deals were close. Gonna take a guess and say this was one of them?
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 (edited) Pretty sure I've seen bits from Ben Smith before and comments that his contacts with Saints are "top notch"... Sounds good! Right, who's next... Edited 14 June, 2013 by Ivan Katalinic's 'tache
Saint Charlie Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Not sure if there is much in that Banega rumour but he would be a very, very good addition.

Saint Charlie Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 (edited) Linked with Levante keeper Keylor Navas in the Spanish media. Edited 15 June, 2013 by Saint Charlie
Saint Charlie Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Some Spanish papers have the Banega link but are quoting The Sun as the source so probs a bull**** rumour.
Crab Lungs Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 That would be an absolutely insanely good signing. :-o We've got Lovren - if we signed him, Astori and Nainggolan as well, our disciplinary record will be horrendous next year
SuperSAINT Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 This morning's paper talk re: Players mentioned on this thread. - Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino wants playmaker Joan Verdu from old club Espanyol. - Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway is reeling after being quoted a stunning £14million fee by old club Blackpool for Thomas Ince and Matt Phillips. - Burnley to put £7million price tag on Charlie Austin to ward off potential interest
Chez Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 SuperSAINT said: - Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway is reeling after being quoted a stunning £14million fee by old club Blackpool for Thomas Ince and Matt Phillips. why exactly did Ince sign a new contract?
SuperSAINT Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Chez said: why exactly did Ince sign a new contract? You mean for this season, Chez? I think both Phillips & Ince were out of contract, but Blackpool had options on both to extend for the extra year which the club took up.

S-Clarke Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Would be a shame to see Fonte go, but if he does i guess we can be assured we'll get another CB for sure.
SuperSAINT Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 S-Clarke said: Would be a shame to see Fonte go, but if he does i guess we can be assured we'll get another CB for sure. Yeah, very much. What a coup he was for us in league 1.
Matthew Le God Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 S-Clarke said: Would be a shame to see Fonte go, but if he does i guess we can be assured we'll get another CB for sure. If Fonte left, I think we'd only get another centre back if Hooiveld also left. Four centre backs - Lovren, Yoshida, Forren and one other should be enough.
NickG Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Where did Lovren first get a mention on here this window? Wondered which site had the link first?

So I would definitely replace Fonte - not that I expect him to leave though.

ollysaints1 Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 I'm surprised that Fenerbache would be interested in Fonte. He'd be mad to turn it down though, they're a huge club, paying massive wages and playing at a far higher standard than us currently. I'd be pleased for him if it happened.

saint_ed Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 I can see Jose leaving us this window, I don't think we will sign another though. MP seems to rate Jos so will settle on Lovren, Yoshida, Forren and Hooiveld IMO.

As reported by Sportmediaset.it on the former Boca Juniors and Atletico Madrid is the strong interest of the Saints, who have already offered nine million Euros.
S-Clarke Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Banega would be a simply stunning addition for a club like us.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Banega is a very clever player. Not much of a goal threat but he is awesome at being able to move the ball forward into the final third and get it to players in space who can do some damage. Creative but without creating goalscoring chances for others, however he will start loads of moves in moving the ball forward in transition. I can see why we'd be after him.
Olallana Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Banega can score a goal or two..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAHkTnesWp8

SuperMikey Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Heard that the Banega deal is nearly wrapped up and should be announced within a week. Not 100% on the source though (no, he's not off Twitter).
