Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 Twitter world speculating Saints have flown him in to watch tomorrow's game with Arsenal with a view to signing. Probably a load of sh*t but, hey ho, it's a rumour.
Wildgoose Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 Just picked up on that too! Nice to be able to speculate a bit! :0)
S-Clarke Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 A player we have been linked to for about 18 months. First came up in Adkins time here. Was very highly rated as an 18 year old, but is now 22 and hasn't really fulfilled all of his promise. Still, he's full of quality. (he's a striker, but can play part of a 3)
markr27 Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 Would Osvaldo be willing to go in the opposite direction I wonder?
Pastor Patrón Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 Would be a sickening signing, please let it be true
SuperSAINT Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 His name didn't ring a bell, but I recognised him from the pictures... Where did the recent link come from?
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 27 January, 2014 Author Posted 27 January, 2014 Who the hell is he? Colombian striker playing for Udinese.
Bewildered Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 Unless he's on a plane with a built in TV studio I am skeptical http://www.udinese.it/portal/EN/handle/?hil&page=redazione_notizie&vid=2069
Saint Charlie Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 Unless he's on a plane with a built in TV studio I am skeptical http://www.udinese.it/portal/EN/handle/?hil&page=redazione_notizie&vid=2069 Ha, has a Twitter rumour ever been right?
latter day saint Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 Noticed this on twitter but not seen a source apart from Saints fans retweeting it? Where's this come from then ?
SuperSAINT Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 For some armchair scouting.. http://provenquality.com/luis-muriel-udineses-latest-unearthed-superstar/ http://the3mandefence.wordpress.com/2013/05/10/scout-report-luis-muriel/ http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/pitchside-europe/meet-udinese-luis-muriel-forward-aiming-emulate-brazil-142745779.html http://tbrfootball.com/luis-muriel-transfer-scout-report/
Bewildered Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 A unique looking plane, no seatbelts or anything.
DT Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 Hmmm. Difficult to tell from the vid how much impact he would have but at least he looks to have pace and decent control
DT Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 A unique looking plane, no seatbelts or anything. Kraftwerk have let themselves go a bit
trousers Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 Noticed this on twitter but not seen a source apart from Saints fans retweeting it? Where's this come from then ? This appears to be the first person to have tweeted the 'news'... Registers 8/10 on the vague-o-meter...
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 27 January, 2014 Author Posted 27 January, 2014 27 Jan 2014 20:13:21 Saints have flown in a striker from Udinese Calcio tonight & he will be at the game tomorrow Its doing my head in trying to find out who it is, can't find anything on twitter etc. But I know they have flown someone in for sure. Can any shed any light? Found it. Good ol' Southampton Rumours. Sorry chaps...
revolution saint Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 Probably just twitter bollix but frankly is it worth going again for another south american at all? Have we ever had a decent one? Off the top of my head only Guly has been a qualified success (for the league we signed him in etc). To be fair to the lad he looks good on the YouTube but then so did Gaston and so did Ramirez. Obviously it's wrong to label all South Americans like this (he could be like Suarez or Coutinho) but it's not like we've had much success in this area before.
Dig Dig Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 Most of those shots in the youtube clip would be saved in the prem. Shocking goalkeeping.
angelman Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 Have we ever had a South American who has done well?
Saint Garrett Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 Have we ever had a South American who has done well? Guly.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 27 January, 2014 Author Posted 27 January, 2014 God, we have had some shockers from South America haven't we? Delgado, Chala, Sarmiento, Tejera, Arias - anyone else? Thought Viafara and Guly did reasonable jobs and, for me, the verdict is still out on Ramirez.

The derby celebration made him a cult hero for a while though! 'I Sorry I Ruin the party''
nta786 Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 This guy is amazing on Football Manager- and we'd be pace abused on FIFA But in all seriousness, this guy doesn't seem all that when I've seen him in real life... It would all depend on the price tbh, but I don't think this guy would cut it in the Prem- hope I'm wrong though (only if he comes to us!)
nta786 Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 You've mentioned 4 who never played and 2 who were good signings. I wouldn't judge anyone else on those. He might be great or ****. Must have a chance of the world cup with Falcao out? Pretty sure Jackson Martinez is their second striker... Though it will help his chances regardless.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 27 January, 2014 Author Posted 27 January, 2014 You've mentioned 4 who never played and 2 who were good signings. I wouldn't judge anyone else on those. He might be great or ****. Must have a chance of the world cup with Falcao out? Don't recall judging Muriel at all. Just pointed our we've not had much luck with our imports from there thus far in my opinion. Yup, would imagine he will be one if their go to guys with Falcao out.
thefuriousb Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Another gamble because our initial gamble failed. And how much of a gamble is allowing Osvaldo to go back to Italy, leaving Jay & Rickie to be covered by Sam Gallagher & your favourite, Guly?
buctootim Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 A unique looking plane, no seatbelts or anything. Looks like they've already recorded the programme then, so he could be at the game tonight.......
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 And how much of a gamble is allowing Osvaldo to go back to Italy, leaving Jay & Rickie to be covered by Sam Gallagher & your favourite, Guly? You don't seem to have grasped Osvaldo simply can't be allowed back - he is history but we do need to replace him you are right on that score
SaintRichmond Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 God' date=' we have had some shockers from South America haven't we?[b'] Delgado[/b], Chala, Sarmiento, Tejera, Arias - anyone else? Thought Viafara and Guly did reasonable jobs and, for me, the verdict is still out on Ramirez. Bit unfair on Delgado He was the best one legged footballer we ever had If only we could have got the other leg to work, he'd have been magic
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 28 January, 2014 Author Posted 28 January, 2014 Bit unfair on Delgado He was the best one legged footballer we ever had If only we could have got the other leg to work, he'd have been magic and if only we'd remembered his birthday...
pangy Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 He is a beast on FIFA ultimate team,so we should sign him for sure on that basis
Turkish Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Not sure you can claim to be ITK about something that pops up on football-rumours 6 months later?!? Not sure you can claim to know anything about football if you think clubs don't watch players for an extensive period of time before making a bid
Turkish Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 He is a beast on FIFA ultimate team,so we should sign him for sure on that basis Good on FIFA, good on YouTube, all we need Are his fm14 stats and we can make a decision.
VectisSaint Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Probably just twitter bollix but frankly is it worth going again for another south american at all? Have we ever had a decent one? Off the top of my head only Guly has been a qualified success (for the league we signed him in etc). To be fair to the lad he looks good on the YouTube but then so did Gaston and so did Ramirez. Obviously it's wrong to label all South Americans like this (he could be like Suarez or Coutinho) but it's not like we've had much success in this area before. Ramirez looked good, but not sure Gaston did. Odd that you never see them together.
Saint Garrett Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Not sure you can claim to know anything about football if you think clubs don't watch players for an extensive period of time before making a bid If you read another of my recent posts, I said that I'm sure loads of clubs watch many different players for differing periods of time. If it turns out to be true, I might even say fair play Glasgow for being ITK, however, a dodgy rumour on football-rumours doesn't do much for me I'm afraid.
Dig Dig Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Can we pretend that we beat off competition from Liverpool and Spurs to sign him as well? Utd I heard
Glasgow_Saint Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Utd I heard Arsenal too http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2120395/Arsenal-want-Luis-Muriel.html http://soccerlens.com/arsenal-udinese-luis-muriel/117042/
Pancake Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 FWIW I did hear yesterday (through my cousin who lives with someone that works at Saints) that there was an un-named Spanish-speaking player at SMS yesterday. One of the reasons MP didnt have his his usual translator at the presser...
Toomer Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 You don't seem to have grasped Osvaldo simply can't be allowed back - he is history but we do need to replace him you are right on that score Duncan clear your inbox I have sent you a couple of PMs which you might find interesting.
buctootim Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Isnt that Gaston trying to tackle him? got to be some rarity value to that.
buctootim Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Spanish passport (or at least he was applying for one in 2012 according to the Mail)
martel Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Colombian striker playing for Udinese. Guess he will only want coke at half time then
Chez Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Viafara was pretty good for us. I liked him. The derby celebration made him a cult hero for a while though! 'I Sorry I Ruin the party'' I thank you for reminding me of this again. Still my best moment at a game ever, possibly...
