Sour Mash Posted 27 June, 2013 Share Posted 27 June, 2013 I wonder if this means there is something to the report claiming Jose Fonte was off to turkey that sprung up a couple of weeks ago. I reckon there must be as that's not the sort of rumour that gets made up randomly, although a bit of a strange move for Fonte. No-way will we go forward with 6 first team/senior CBs.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 27 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 27 June, 2013 Sounds a decent player, didn't think we'd be going after another CB. Definitely one or two of our current crop on the way out then. If he plays for Barcelona he must be good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
del boy Posted 27 June, 2013 Share Posted 27 June, 2013 I think the report means prospect as relates to capability of succeeding in Europe Yes, fair enough. We'd certainly have some height at the back with him at 6' 3'' and Dejan at 6' 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSaint Posted 27 June, 2013 Share Posted 27 June, 2013 TMW interview with MP on Osvaldo and Ramirez http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?client=firefox-a&hl=en&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&u=http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/esclusiva-tmw-pochettino-osvaldo-non-e-un-obiettivo-ramirez-felice-con-noi-460601 Monday will start the new season of coach Mauricio Pochettino to Southampton. Tuttomercatoweb.com interviewed him exclusively to make a point on the market. News of recent days is the supply of Black Cats for Osvaldo to Roma. There is talk of € 20 million. "Oswald is a great player. I've trained at Espanyol, so I know its features. At the time we got information about his situation at Rome, but we made no offer." It 'clear that looking for a striker, though ... "We have a clear idea of what may be our goals, but the market at the moment is going very slowly. We are working with a lot of discretion to bring on reinforcements in pink." Looking also to the Italian market, see the names of Astori and Nainggolan ... "Of Southampton names juxtaposed to have come out many, perhaps too many. Some of them were invented, others do not. Astori, for example, has been tried, but in the end we opted for Lovren, a great player." Ramirez will remain? "He 's happy with us, we are counting on him for next season. It' s normal that many clubs like to see its value, but we do not do case to market rumors. We are planning the next season with him." Goals for the next season? "The president is an ambitious person, and so do we. We are going to improve, but we do not set points.'ll Watch game after game, from first to last."

Giordano Posted 27 June, 2013 Share Posted 27 June, 2013 I think we will get a marquee striker before start of season, but the quality of player we would want will also be coveted by others, so it may be a late thing in the window after the "domino-effect" of other transfers take place. For example now that Tevez has joined Juventus, and knowing that Llorente is joining Juventus too in August its obvious that they have at least one probably two strikers more than they need or even want. Players like Matri, Quaglierella and...best of all Vucinic...will all be playing second fiddle to the two newcomers. Vucinic is basically an upgraded Rickie Lambert - he can do everything Rickie can do for Saints ( and im not being disloyal to SRL by saying that he is a different class) - so would slot in easily with our current style of play. Of course he would'nt join Southampton but if it was a direct like for like but frankly a league above replacement at number 9 - Vucinic is the number one choice for me - even though the chances are barely 5% i'd guess. My other choice would be Torres, 1% chance of that..:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
