Saint Garrett Posted 18 July, 2013 Share Posted 18 July, 2013 Was just chatting to a Napoli fan - (random I know but he's my barber) he reckons they'll go for Higuain, and one of Osvaldo or Damiao. But apparently he read this morning that Roma's new manager wants Osvaldo to stay at Roma. Did say he wouldn't be surprised if the one they don't get comes to Saints, and speaks of Osvaldo very highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olallana Posted 18 July, 2013 Share Posted 18 July, 2013 I think (not sure though) the new manager were talking about other players than Osvaldo. Also just read that Pjanic wants to stay despite interest from Barcelona and Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reckons that they won't get any of them and will instead try and sign Wayne Rooney and lukaku and Saints will sign Osvaldo and Diamao. Who'd have thought it!!

My guy claims to be mates with the son of the bloke Diego Maradona bought his house from when he joined them in 1985, so he is well connected if true.

Prince Jazzbo Posted 18 July, 2013 Share Posted 18 July, 2013 I used to know the son of an Italian Ice cream man who lived in Calshot. He moved back to Naples years ago. He and one of my mates had a fight in his front garden, and the old man came out brandishing a carving knife. Which was a pity really, because it was a bloody good fight up to then. The re-match at school the next day was nowhere near as good. Anyway, my point is, if we were still friends I could have asked him if he knew anything about this possible transfer.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 18 July, 2013 Share Posted 18 July, 2013 Would be very dumb to spend £6m on Hooper and then sell (or loan) out Sharp for £1m. Questions really need to be asked of the committee if that deal happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 18 July, 2013 Share Posted 18 July, 2013 Don't think this one will happen now to be honest. The Brazilian window shuts on the 22nd, and even though they can still sell, they can't re-invest. I can't see them selling after the 22nd, they'd surely need a replacement pretty sharpish for their own aspirations, and they don't necessarily need the finance from the deal at the moment anyway. I don't think he'll move full stop, one we may revisit next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giordano Posted 19 July, 2013 Share Posted 19 July, 2013 Napoli are nearly there with Damiao according to this mornings Calciomercato section of the Corriere... http://www.corrieredellosport.it/calcio/serie_a/napoli/2013/07/19-328754/Calciomercato+Napoli%2C+Damiao+in+pugno.+Julio+Cesar%2C+manca+l%27ok Paraphrased: Damiao is in the palm of Napolis hands. Napoli have significantly closed the gap on the 25M euros Inter requested and the transfer, along with that of his International team mate Julio Cesar (from whom Napoli are awaiting a response,and will go for Reina if its a NO) seems imminent. RM are not budging on 40M for Higuain who is the other striking target for Napoli (as well as not instead of). I cant see both Higuain AND Damiao joining Napoli myself - one or the other imo, and I'm 90% sure it will be Damiao at this juncture. But stranger things have happened...Napoli were linked with Zlatan overnight- and thats a game changer if it comes off... One day it will be us linked with the Higuains and Zlatans...dreams..

Crab Lungs Posted 23 July, 2013 Share Posted 23 July, 2013 Is he any good? Much hyped but scoring in Portugal doesn't seem to prove much. Looked hit and miss with Brazil when I've seen him. For me, no. He's ok. He's alright. If ever there was an exampled of someone being overrated, its him. Sure he's powerful and he's got a presence but for me, he's a rung, possibly two below van Persie, Lewandowski etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 25 July, 2013 Share Posted 25 July, 2013 Seems then that it depends on Zenit and if they want Damiao. To be fair we havent been mentioned at all in connection with him for a while, and if Spurs and Napoli have failed to do a deal then it must be tough, especially when you consider all the Cavani money that Napoli are flinging about. Plus, in a WC year (in his home country) it would be hard to persuade him to move to Europe for a team not in any European competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internacional have told potential suitors of Leandro Damiao that they will only part with him for the right price. Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton have previously been linked with the Brazil international striker, but their interest appears to have cooled as Internacional aim to keep hold of one of their star men. They are prepared to let him leave if an acceptable offer is submitted, but have previously told Napoli that a bid of €18million (£15m) would not be considered and stressed that his valuation is only likely to increase after next summer's World Cup. Zenit St Petersburg are reported to have joined Napoli in the chase for the 24-year-old's signature, but it will be difficult for anyone to prise him away. Internacional's director of football Marcelo Medeiros told Zero Hora: "He is focusing on Internacional. "If anyone wants to sign him, it would be a great deal, but they will have to pay a lot. "He is still an Internacional player." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
