OMG, I didn't realise he had tats in the Fox mould, he can't be any good then...
saints_is_the_south Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 This is the one I really really want. Would be an amazing signing for us if we can pull it off.
buctootim Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 OMG, I didn't realise he had tats in the Fox mould, he can't be any good then... you might not fancy him but he could still be a good player

Prince Jazzbo Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 same site that said newcastle made bid for rooney. Owned by Mike Ashley?
georgeweahscousin Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 Someone just suggested that to me that Liverpool are now in for Banega....
SuperSAINT Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 Someone just suggested that to me that Liverpool are now in for Banega.... Wouldn't feel like a legit Saints transfer unless either Liverpool or Napoli muscled in on us
Webby Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 Can't believe this could happen. Seen him play a lot and he's top class, thought he'd be miles out of our league. What a signing he'd be. Rather him than Wanyama but seems maybe we want both. Would have absolutely brilliant CM options, ridiculous to say, but better than most the league. Mainly excited as just how well Banega, Morgan, Cork as a three would keep possession. We're already good at it, Banega seems to fit right in. My wish/hope is that if we can attract this guy, he might be friends with Soldado and able to drag him along too! This ^
pangy Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 Apparently we are now in talks with him. This is the one that I feel we could pull off
thorpie the sinner Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 So is there a concrete source we are speaking to EB knocking around anywhere????
Give it to Ron Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 So is there a concrete source we are speaking to EB knocking around anywhere???? There is no concrete source on anyone just hints, 2+2=5 and agents stirring up business for their clients. wanyama is the only one really known and that looks a stalemate.
Jack Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 So is there a concrete source we are speaking to EB knocking around anywhere???? Has SWF ever seen a concrete source for anything?
pangy Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 Nothing concrete I was just going off this http://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Football/Premier+League/Southampton
Window Cleaner Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 Nothing concrete I was just going off this http://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Football/Premier+League/Southampton look until Nostradamus alias GS says it's happening it ain't happening.

Crab Lungs Posted 9 July, 2013 Posted 9 July, 2013 Just to throw this out there... Valencia returned to training yesterday but Banega has "extended leave" until next week.
110_Persaint Posted 9 July, 2013 Posted 9 July, 2013 Just to throw this out there... Valencia returned to training yesterday but Banega has "extended leave" until next week. Someone start a songs for Banega thread!
Miltonaggro Posted 9 July, 2013 Posted 9 July, 2013 Got to get him over this week while to sun is shining, he'll think Southampton is the British version of St Tropez!...
ibizasaint Posted 9 July, 2013 Posted 9 July, 2013 Anyone see that Canales of Valencia was going on about them getting Oriol Romeu (CM) from Chelsea on loan... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2357284/Oriol-Romeu-considering-Valencia-claims-Sergio-Canales.html
Downthe36 Posted 9 July, 2013 Posted 9 July, 2013 If we get Banega... mmmmm. Mouth-watering. Promising thing about this one is that I haven't heard any other clubs linked. Can't see why he would have had extended leave, he didn't play international games did he?
Crab Lungs Posted 9 July, 2013 Posted 9 July, 2013 Promising thing about this one is that I haven't heard any other clubs linked. Can't see why he would have had extended leave, he didn't play international games did he? June 14th, but only played 20 mins...
Charlie Wayman Posted 9 July, 2013 Posted 9 July, 2013 Now we're after Frederik Sorenson supposedly, I can't keep up with this. If they all sign on none of us will recognise our team next season. Chants of "Who are You?" from the Northam will be in order when the teams are read out.
trousers Posted 9 July, 2013 Posted 9 July, 2013 Promising thing about this one is that I haven't heard any other clubs linked Never mention that to a pessimist...
110_Persaint Posted 9 July, 2013 Posted 9 July, 2013 Never mention that to a pessimist... How many were linked with Ramirez? Quite a few if memory serves. Point is pessimist or not we WILL make a TOP CLASS signing before the window closes. Bet your life on it.

110_Persaint Posted 9 July, 2013 Posted 9 July, 2013 Weren't we linked with him in the january transferwindow as well? Means nowt really. We were linked with Jeremain Lens two windows in a row (who I would still love if we could get and a major HCDAJFU) and absolutely nothing materialised.

We were linked with Jeremain Lens two windows in a row (who I would still love if we could get and a major HCDAJFU) and absolutely nothing materialised. We'd have to buy Lens from Kiev now, would cost a pretty penny as he's only just signed there. Same stumbling block as with most of our targets...we aren't in the CL or even the Europa League. Becoming football's Catch 22 situation, you can't get good players unless you're in the CL and you can't get into the CL unless you can get good players. Players will accept rubbish clubs to play in the CL seemingly. Edited 9 July, 2013 by Window Cleaner

Right sider Posted 9 July, 2013 Posted 9 July, 2013 Heard that Benega was at Sms earlier today. It was just a rumour at the Sholing game.

Saint Charlie Posted 13 July, 2013 Posted 13 July, 2013 Not sure where he would fit? Competition for the no 10 role?
Batman Posted 13 July, 2013 Posted 13 July, 2013 Not sure where he would fit? Competition for the no 10 role? maybe we are going 433 this season
Downthe36 Posted 13 July, 2013 Posted 13 July, 2013 What does the article say? My daft computer won't accept it.
St Marco Posted 13 July, 2013 Posted 13 July, 2013 What does the article say? My daft computer won't accept it. Days ago Mauricio Pochettino, coach of the Southampton, had opened the doors to a possible arrival Ever Banega, confirming the interest in the Valencia midfielder. There has been a noticeable breakthrough, Banega is in the spotlight and new contacts are recorded. Cortese and Pochettino consider it a priority.
stug76 Posted 13 July, 2013 Posted 13 July, 2013 I'm sure we could shoehorn him into the team somewhere! He'll fit into some fluid 4-2-3-1 formation.
Saint_lambden Posted 13 July, 2013 Posted 13 July, 2013 Not sure where he would fit? Competition for the no 10 role? Should imagine just more competition for the current Cork-Spiderman positions. Davis I suspect will be competing with Ramirez for the No 10 slot with Ward-Prowse/Schneiderlin pushing into that role on occasion?

Banega virtually always plays in a more advanced role than a defensive midfielder.
itchen_dan Posted 13 July, 2013 Posted 13 July, 2013 (edited) Potential lineups going by transfer developments today. Jesus, they looks tasty! Edited 13 July, 2013 by itchen_dan
Olallana Posted 13 July, 2013 Posted 13 July, 2013 I can see some variations of the front 6. Spider - Wanyama Jrod - Banega - Gaston Lambert/New striker Spider - Wanyama Banega - Lambert - Gaston New Striker We wouldn´t have players that beat their defender out wide but not sure MP is looking for that. I think he want Clyne and Shaw to participate and coming down the flanks. In both formations the 3 would do a lof of interchanging and I can also see Banega take a step down with Spider moing forward. The two wide players in the 3 would be cutting in a lot but also do the interchanging in the game.... Very harsh on Cork though but he will get his games too. If we have the opportunity to bring in a player of Banega´s class it would be stupid to not do it.....
Sour Mash Posted 13 July, 2013 Posted 13 July, 2013 Not sure where he would fit? Competition for the no 10 role? Obviously don't know how ITK their source is, but interesting to see they believe we consider it a priority.
Olallana Posted 13 July, 2013 Posted 13 July, 2013 Obviously don't know how ITK their source is, but interesting to see they believe we consider it a priority. I think the main aspect in Banegas game they want is his passing ability and one to play that through pass. Spider and Cork has a tendency to play around the opposition out wide to full backs or the wide midfielder. They rarely play that through pass on the feet of Lambert or Gaston in the spece between oppositions defenders and midfielders.

Batman Posted 13 July, 2013 Posted 13 July, 2013 there is no guarantee that we will play a traditional number '10' next season
S-Clarke Posted 13 July, 2013 Posted 13 July, 2013 anyone get the feeling we're not going to play with much width next season? And the majority of the width will be provided by the full backs? A lot of us saw a winger as a priority in the summer, but that's not on anyone's radar by the looks of it.

With little back up in at full back we're going to be asking for a ridiculous amount from Clyne and Shaw next season.
