Glasgow_Saint Posted 22 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 22 June, 2013 Steady on. Spurs, Liverpool, Everton, Swansea all much better footballing prospects. Spurs and Liverpool financially competitive. Villa and Newcastle bigger clubs. Swansea maybe, but we are more attractive than Spurs, Everton, Liverpool because of our ambition and history of bringing through young players Villa are similar size to us, but skint, NEWCASTLE are a laughing stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncanRG Posted 22 June, 2013 Share Posted 22 June, 2013 Swansea maybe, but we are more attractive than Spurs, Everton, Liverpool because of our ambition and history of bringing through young players I suspect you're trolling. If not...our 'ambition' is to be competing for top 6 in a couple of years - Spurs, Everton and Liverpool are already there. Hernandez isn't a young player that needs to be brought through, either. Current state of the team/club I'd rate us above Villa and Newcastle but historically there's no contest. Those things can be important to players moving to England.

I think we are the new Chelsea and players will want to be part of he "project" from the start I agree, but to claim we're more attractive than Spurs or Liverpool is ludicrous. They have money, and they don't need to be ambitious because they're already there. There are two reasons we're signing Spurs and Liverpool targets ahead of them - one is we're offering more money than they're willing to and the other is that we can offer more playing time.. Both applied to Ramirez, as an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suomi Saint Posted 23 June, 2013 Share Posted 23 June, 2013 That's just been dragged from goal.com article I think This one could drag on and perhaps Cortese will lose his patience. Wanyama will obviously want to go for the best personal offer as he has no particular allegiance to any club. Of course Celtic won't want to accept a lower transfer fee.

Crab Lungs Posted 23 June, 2013 Share Posted 23 June, 2013 http://www.laseleccion.com.uy/es/component/k2/item/367-seria-bueno-el-pase The future of Gonzalo Bueno The Southampton bid for Gonzalo Bueno and could leave for England as soon as you finish the U20 World Championship in Turkey. The team which militates Gaston Ramirez seeks to reinforce its front and frowns youth incorporating U20 striker, Gonzalo Bueno. Several British media say Atletico Nacional have offered the tempting offer of 8 million pounds (just over 12:000.000 dollars). Good example and has tremendous potential for the future. Integra sub 20 campus Uruguayan National Team will play the World Cup in Turkey which starts on June 21. Then again, I'm sure Alex Crook already knows this.

MOSaint Posted 23 June, 2013 Share Posted 23 June, 2013 He does....soon.... Tough choice tonight, watch Bueno or JWP.... I think one starts an hour before the other, so it's possible you'll be able to see 45 mins of him if you want to watch JWP play. Curious to see this guy play, know a couple of people who follow SA football and they think the money being talked about him is far too high. Say he's quick and a natural finisher but his crossing is terrible and he rarely looks up before playing the final ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only looked at the tv schedule and here in Sweden the games are shown the same time on Eurosport 1 & 2. Well I´ll be watching Uruguay then and 2nd half of the England game.

verlaine1979 Posted 23 June, 2013 Share Posted 23 June, 2013 TBH Lukaku was possibly the opposition player that impressed me most at SMS last season. Would love to see him in a Saints shirt. I think Lukaku cost Chelsea £17m before he'd even kicked a ball in the premier league. I suspect he wouldn't be sold for anything less than £25m now.
