Who will we sign - Prediction


Saint_Randell

Recommended Posts

Wanyama 12m

Tello 10m (were in for him last year and again this)

Striker 17m no idea who, Damiao would be incredible

 

And possibly another

 

so a total spend in excess of 50 million, don't think so.

 

Damiao and 1 other. total 27 million, total spend 36 million (roughly)

Once again, you are probably right. Shades of every close season, keep the mugs interested enough to buy STs and then back to reality.

 

Mmm. We were all bitterly disappointed at the months of inactivity after Rodriguez signed last summer.

I'm desperate for either:

 

Thiago

Iniesta

Tello

Suarez

 

or

 

Arshavin

Ribery

Shevchenko

Eliseu

 

or

 

Cabaye

Long

Ulloa

N'Zonzi

Gerrard

Edu.

You've only been married for 6 months. What went wrong???

MP's admission of having looked at Banega, Wanyama and Damiao may have been quite shrewd. It made the Danish footy websites and suddenly people are talking about the Saints. "Would be funny if Damiao chose them over Spurs", "Can they afford that", "Well, they did get Ramirez last summer" etc. I would imagine it was similar in other countries so he is raising the profile of SFC. And signalling towards our transfer targets that we mean business. IMHO it is highly unlikely that we sign all of the mentioned players but a message has been sent...

I agree that this is a way that Pochettino is sending out a message of intent, though I doubt we will sign all those three players if any of them. However, this announcement will signal to other potential signings that we are an ambitious club. It may also serve as a smokescreen to other potential purchases. I can't predict who - maybe some of the others about whom we have had rumours but who were not mentioned by Pochettino yesterday.

 

Of course, it may have been lost in translation that Pochettino was actually saying those three names with a kind of dry humour as if to scorn the rumours of the market! I haven't actually see what was said in the press conference to have any clue as to whether that may be the case.

 

In terms of who I hope we will sign, I would definitely include Ever Banega and maybe a winger and/or striker. Another defender could also be useful.
