Saint Garrett Posted 22 June, 2013 Share Posted 22 June, 2013 Few links from a while ago, but this is the first one where he's spoken out about it. Interesting, maybe something has stalled with Wanyama deal or maybe we put that out there to hurry along the Naingollan deal, who knows. Radja Nainggolan http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&prev=_dd&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tuttomercatoweb.com%2Finter%2F%3Faction%3Dread%26idnet%3DZmNpbnRlcm5ld3MuaXQtMTE4NDYw 22/06/13 http://www.corrieredellosport.it/calcio/serie_a/cagliari/2013/05/26-322812/Cagliari%3A+Nainggolan+chiesto+dal+Southampton 26/05/13 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2310137/Southampton-launch-bid-Belgium-winger-Radja-Nainggolan.html 16/04/13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSaint Posted 22 June, 2013 Share Posted 22 June, 2013 The full quote was (translated) I received a great offer from Southampton, their proposal is economically the most important of all . though I do not play for money, my priority is to have a major career. But I have no problem to move to England. E 'still wide open, we will see, Sounds like we are offering the most money at the moment and he would join, but he is waiting to see if any more clubs offer him something before making his decision.

Olallana Posted 22 June, 2013 Share Posted 22 June, 2013 Compared to his wages now in Cagliari every offer from us will probably look big. It wont mean that it´s that big for us to pay. He earns €450k/year net + unknown bonuses according to Gazzetta. (and wages are not secrets in Italy but bonuses are) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_lambden Posted 22 June, 2013 Share Posted 22 June, 2013 It's just covering our bases. Bid for 2-3 players from the same position but we'll probably only end up buying one. I suspect Banega is now seen as out of our reach but we're going for both Wanyama and Nainggolan in case the top target (either one) falls through.

Must admit I'd never heard of him, but found this interesting article from January 2012. Maybe the bit about millions of Indonesians buying his jersey is something Saints are aware of. Trouble is they would all need to visit the Megastore I suppose http://www.goal.com/en/news/1717/editorial/2012/01/12/2842728/from-indonesian-king-to-juventus-inter-ac-milan-target-why-radja- Only question is why he did not move to Milan as expected?

I don't know, but I'd guess that mentioning that our offer is the best financially means he's waiting to see if his Italian suitors can match or better it before making a decision.

Really great player and probably the most consistent of these three. But personally I would choose Banega as my first choice just because how creative he can be.

Banega is very good, but scared of consistency. Nainggolen really is such a destructive midfielder, he will take the pressure off the fact Lallana can't defend for ****.

I wouldn't be surprised if he meant we were currently his 'only' option. Aye, Google Translate suggests that the Indonesian phrase 'terakhir saya' could mean 'last', 'latest' or 'recent'. I'd suggest few professional footballers would burn bridges so openly, and that 'Southampton are my latest option' is a more reasonably translation.

I agree, colour of skin is immaterial, we all have whatever it is imposed on us, but hairstyle is another thing. Since that's a matter of choice it can tell you a bit more about someone and I'd rather see a bit more Brylcreem or Tony Curtis and a bit less Sid Vicious in a potential signing..
