bazza Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Fabianski signs for Swansea. Michel Vorm instead of Boruc? (Although rumours of a transfer to Liverpool.)
SuperSAINT Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Marshall now linked to Arsenal for £15m (it was £6m last week).
Miltonaggro Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 SFC post-Cortese feels like an old PC without a firewall or anti virus Pretty much a perfect analogy :-)
Beckenham Saint Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Fabianski signs for Swansea. Michel Vorm instead of Boruc? (Although rumours of a transfer to Liverpool.) Vorm to Liverpool would be an interesting switch. They already have Mignolet who managed to simultaneously look good yet wobbly for them this year. Then of course, the returning Pepe Reina who has said he will need to discuss with the club where he is playing next year. Beyond that I don't know a lot about Liverpool's keepers, apart from Brad Jones who wasn't up to much last year for them at SMS. Would like Vorm for us, but not instead of Boruc. Boruc for me is an important character on the pitch, really shores things up for us and has the inner nutter that seems to be important in great keepers. Vorm would be a very worthy back up IMO but don't know why he would want to sign to sit on the bench most weeks.
Window Cleaner Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Vorm was dog****e this season. Had a long spell out injured though didn't he ?
Beckenham Saint Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Had a long spell out injured though didn't he ? Think he spent 8 or 9 weeks out injured and then got sent off to miss some more games

shurlock Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Had a long spell out injured though didn't he ? Was hardly convincing from crosses the season before - we had a blatant goal disallowed against them, notwithstanding a proper clanger.
JakkoUK Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Fabianski signs for Swansea. Michel Vorm instead of Boruc? (Although rumours of a transfer to Liverpool.) "Lukasz Fabianski rejects an offer from Arsenal to join Swansea on a 4 year deal"-SSN
shurlock Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Any watchers of French football know much about him? http://www.lanouvellerepublique.fr/Toute-zone/Sport/Football/Ligue-2/n/Contenus/Articles/2014/05/29/Tours-FC-Delort-vers-l-Angleterre-ou-l-Allemagne-1926708

Saint Charlie Posted 30 May, 2014 Posted 30 May, 2014 Its the domino effect. The more that go, the more it pushes others to want to go. Staplewood on first day back for pre season will be in an awful mood.

Article sounds like horse**** to me.
Saint Charlie Posted 30 May, 2014 Posted 30 May, 2014 Also interesting that the apart from Shaw none of our players have commented on Social Media about Poch leaving.
goneawol Posted 30 May, 2014 Posted 30 May, 2014 'And with the search for a new manager seemingly hitting a brick wall following the shock departure of successful coach Mauricio Pochettino to Spurs this week, the club is lurching towards crisis as the World Cup beckons for their best players.' Is the Brick Wall the new Glass Ceiling
S-Clarke Posted 30 May, 2014 Posted 30 May, 2014 The media are going somewhat OTT, but they're lapping it up, as we're rolling over and having our belly tickled. I tell you what, that cluster**** of an interview Hans gave back in Feb was nothing short of a nightmare. He opened the floodgates for all of this.
Saint Charlie Posted 30 May, 2014 Posted 30 May, 2014 So according to this it's £2m + add-ons for Lambert. Article sounds like horse**** to me. No. It means £2m up front with the further £2m in installments (as is normal with transfers). The add ons are obviously not guarenteed and are paid dependent upon the clauses inserted being reached, ie apps threshold etc.
Baird of the land Posted 30 May, 2014 Posted 30 May, 2014 Its the domino effect. The more that go, the more it pushes others to want to go. Staplewood on first day back for pre season will be in an awful mood. Yep we can't afford to let more than 2 go in my opinion or it will snowball. Given we've flogged lambert that would mean one of shaw or lallana but not both.
shurlock Posted 30 May, 2014 Posted 30 May, 2014 (edited) No. It means £2m up front with the further £2m in installments (as is normal with transfers). The add ons are obviously not guarenteed and are paid dependent upon the clauses inserted being reached, ie apps threshold etc. Still don't understand According to this article: £2m is guaranteed and another £2m in add-ons subject to targets being met. Contrast with stories elsewhere: £4m + add-ons i.e. £4m guaranteed with additional incentive payments. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27629474 Edited 30 May, 2014 by shurlock
cellone Posted 30 May, 2014 Posted 30 May, 2014 Two things. 1. Can we make this or a separate thread for incoming transfer rumours only? Can't help reading the many out going ones. 2. Same as 1.

There seems to be a serious attempt by some parts of the media to try and destabilise the club. If we had 9 players good enough for top 5 teams, we seriously underachieved last season, in finishing 8th.
Minsk Posted 30 May, 2014 Posted 30 May, 2014 I would like us to go for Quincy Promes. Looked the mutt's nuts for Holland U21 the other night.
Olallana Posted 30 May, 2014 Posted 30 May, 2014 I would like us to go for Quincy Promes. Looked the mutt's nuts for Holland U21 the other night. There are a few gems in the dutch league, kind of hoping for Koeman or De Boer just because of that.. Promes, Maher, Depay, Locadia, Fischer, Perica (Chelsea owned)...
melmacian_saint Posted 30 May, 2014 Posted 30 May, 2014 Right is it just me or after years of acting with discretion our club has all of a sudden become extremely prone to any sort of movement with regards to players/coaches/negotiations being leaked to the press prior to being completely confirmed a few hours later?!?!
Lighthouse Posted 30 May, 2014 Posted 30 May, 2014 Right is it just me or after years of acting with discretion our club has all of a sudden become extremely prone to any sort of movement with regards to players/coaches/negotiations being leaked to the press prior to being completely confirmed a few hours later?!?! England internationals are infinitely more interesting to the press than when we sold Dan Harding and Marek Saganowski. Journalists have probably been sticking their noses in all kinds of smelly places to get the inside scoop on the current Saints rumours. It's hardly anything new either. The Gaston, Osvaldo and Wanyama deals were all talked about weeks before they happened.
Wrensup Posted 30 May, 2014 Posted 30 May, 2014 Utterly ridiculous. There seems to be a serious attempt by some parts of the media to try and destabilise the club.

S-Clarke Posted 30 May, 2014 Posted 30 May, 2014 If Lovren does end up going, it seems pretty clear to me that this is a fire sale. Lovren made it pretty clear he was happy here and was ignoring speculation, so if he does go it simply confirms that we are entertaining any phone call for any player. Scary times.

Lovren made it pretty clear he was happy here and was ignoring speculation, so if he does go it simply confirms that we are entertaining any phone call for any player. Scary times. Totally agree however the niggle I have is having lumped over £70m into a club and increased its value three fold, why asset strip it to the point of it becoming unsaleable or not worth the book value it would have with most of it's playing squad intact? Just doesn't add up to me

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 (edited) Saints & Sunderland tracking Henri Saivet according to the Mirror. Never heard of him. Edited 1 June, 2014 by Ivan Katalinic's 'tache
itchen_dan Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Swansea set to sign a striker from Twente. Does that mean Bony or Michu could be off? Bony would be the perfect Lambert replacement and Koeman would know his qualities and attributes well from seeing him in Holland. Would only cost around £12m and is proven to score in PL.
SNSUN Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Saints & Sunderland tracking Henri Saivet according to the Mirror. Never heard of him. Rings a bell from FM. Left footed forward I believe. One of the better forwards in the game. (And I rarely use FM as the basis of a scouting report!)
Rebel Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Swansea have said Bony isn't for sale - and he'd probably cost double the £12 million thy paid for him. Luc Castaignos - the player they are signing from Twente for £6.5 million is the kind of player we should be signing. Young international striker with a great expectations of him.
JoeShmoe Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 I'd be amazed tbh if Arsenal or Chelsea or Tottenham don't look seriously at Bony, scored goals last season in a poor Swansea side, can't believe he can't want CL football
S-Clarke Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Swansea set to sign a striker from Twente. Does that mean Bony or Michu could be off? Bony would be the perfect Lambert replacement and Koeman would know his qualities and attributes well from seeing him in Holland. Would only cost around £12m and is proven to score in PL. Rumour is that Michu will be forced to retire.
Matthew Le God Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Bony would be the perfect Lambert replacement and Koeman would know his qualities and attributes well from seeing him in Holland. Would only cost around £12m and is proven to score in PL. Swansea signed him for £12m, they reportedly want £20m+ for him now.
Appy Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Swansea signed him for £12m, they reportedly want £20m+ for him now. Pay it then and get Ben Davies too.
Saint Charlie Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Pay it then and get Ben Davies too. Any reason why Davies would want to leave his home town club for a side in turmoil with no Manager that offers no semi firm prospect of being significantly better than Swansea next season?
ratio_decidendi Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Any reason why Davies would want to leave his home town club for a side in turmoil with no Manager that offers no semi firm prospect of being significantly better than Swansea next season? Money might play a part, as might the fact that he had only a handful of appearances last season. He has effectively been quoted as saying he might consider offers from other clubs. EDIT: My bad, I thought you said Neil Taylor. No, I very much doubt Ben Davies would leave Swansea at this point in time.
Appy Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Any reason why Davies would want to leave his home town club for a side in turmoil with no Manager that offers no semi firm prospect of being significantly better than Swansea next season? I incorrectly (probably) assumed we would what to show ambition.
itchen_dan Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Stefan De Vrij likely to leave Feyenoord this summer. Read into it what you will.
S-Clarke Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Stefan De Vrij likely to leave Feyenoord this summer. Read into it what you will. Would imagine he'd be off to a big club. Don't think we'd stand a sniff.
SuperSAINT Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Would imagine he'd be off to a big club. Don't think we'd stand a sniff. +1. Been linked with the big boys I believe.
Saint Charlie Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Be interesting to see what type of clubs go in for Nathan Redmond and how much it would cost to sign him. He is very raw, inconsistent and often lacking end product, but certainly has a lot of talent and potential to be a good player. Also the type of player we havent got, neither in the first team or U21s.
