Greenridge Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Rumours that it's £50m for Schneiderlin and Rodriguez. Bloody hell. SSN saying £35M
SuperSAINT Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 SSN saying £35M At least I win the prediction game of how much they would cost.
Trout-Tickler Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Are there actually any incoming rumours? This thread has basically become an outgoing rumours thread only which in itself is bloody depressing....
Baird of the land Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 SSN saying £35M That's comically low imo. However given i find the notion of selling a guy with a serious knee injury crazy, the only likely way we can do it is by offering him to them on the cheap.
iansums Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 The language of the school playground - have you ever wondered why you are so derided? And of course you are the perfect physical specimen? Yeah, can anyone dig out that photo of Alpine from last season's friendly, I could do with a laugh.
Killers Knee Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 De Vrij signing for Lazio I believe for 7 million. did we actually table a bid for him? I don't think we were seriously interested.
saintwbu Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 The only dying embers of hope I have left are that it'd be stupid to reveal any new signings until all the outgoings have been completed as new players would just be overshadowed by the latest player to leave. No on talks about Tadic or Pelle at the moment! Clear out all old players and leave the fans at rock bottom, then everything from then on until the start of the season will be positive and all transfer news will be incoming. I am clutching though...
Baird of the land Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 did we actually table a bid for him? I don't think we were seriously interested. Well i think its more a case of him not being interested in the likes of us.

I am clutching though... Yeah deffo clutching I'm afraid. I'm sure it's cos Les & Ralph & Kat are finding that signing good players is a lot more difficult than selling them. You can't blame them for that, how were they to know? I bet they're as shocked as anyone.
Window Cleaner Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Well i think its more a case of him not being interested in the likes of us. Makes sense, probably didn't fancy 38 week-ends playing with kindergarten kids. We have no status in the game, we might have had for about 3 months but it has now left the building so players of a certain standing are reluctant to get on the bus.

S-Clarke Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Maybe this is the reason English players don't go abroad? Ashley 'Plz can I come and play?''
InvictaSaint Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Maybe this is the reason English players don't go abroad? Ashley 'Plz can I come and play?'' That's a classic photo! Would have loved to have seen the one just after Ian Rush joined Juventus in 86!

SB Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Rumours that it's £50m for Schneiderlin and Rodriguez. Bloody hell. Fee means nothing, 50 million or 50k it's only going to be invested back into Kats Swiss account
Window Cleaner Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Wonder what Tadic and Pelle think.... At least they haven't needed to learn a lot names of their fellow teammates... they are bit part players from the Dutch league, De Vrij is a major international player who has just reached the semis of the WC. There is also a dearth of top class defenders, wiry wingers and non-international brick khazi CFs are more common.
S-Clarke Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 they are bit part players from the Dutch league, De Vrij is a major international player who has just reached the semis of the WC. There is also a dearth of top class defenders, wiry wingers and non-international brick khazi CFs are more common. Bit part players? 50 goals in 57 games, and the most creative player in the league. I don't think that makes them bit-part players? If they were subs for Twente and Feyernord, fair enough - but they were the key players for each side.
SuperSAINT Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Amy Lewis @SkySportsAmy Sources: Southampton hoping to bring in a keeper, defender and a forward by the end of this week with a focus on young English talent

Those articles even state where the information is originally from.
Trout-Tickler Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Amy Lewis @SkySportsAmy Sources: Southampton hoping to bring in a keeper, defender and a forward by the end of this week with a focus on young English talent Young English forward? Wickham?
S-Clarke Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Amy Lewis @SkySportsAmy Sources: Southampton hoping to bring in a keeper, defender and a forward by the end of this week with a focus on young English talent Fraser Forster, Danny Ings and go on...Ryan Bennett.
SuperSAINT Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Fraser Forster, Danny Ings and go on...Ryan Bennett. Forster / Lascelles / Redmond (I'm guess at the last 2 since Guan thought Ings seemed to have stalled)
SaintLondon Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Nabil Hassan @NabilHassan79 3m Shaping up to be another interesting afternoon. #saintsfc Wouldn't it be nice if this was good interesting...
Ex Lion Tamer Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Amy Lewis @SkySportsAmy Sources: Southampton hoping to bring in a keeper, defender and a forward by the end of this week with a focus on young English talent Clearly leaked in order to try to change the narrative around the club. Let's hope they can deliver on their 'hopes'
Brave Sir Robin Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Amy Lewis @SkySportsAmy Sources: Southampton hoping to bring in a keeper, defender and a forward by the end of this week with a focus on young English talent Harry Isted, Kyle Clinton & Marcus Barnes would be my guess http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/team/academy/
swannymere Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 If Morgan and JRod do end up at Spurs then i'd like to see Harry Kane come here as part of the deal. I think Morgan going will be the biggest blow of all, i'll genuinely be gutted.
Heisenberg Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Maybe this is the reason English players don't go abroad? Ashley 'Plz can I come and play?'' That is superb
Wadge Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Forster / Lascelles / Redmond (I'm guess at the last 2 since Guan thought Ings seemed to have stalled) I spoke to a coach at Norwich, they aren;t expecting Redmond to leave any time soon.
SuperSAINT Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 I spoke to a coach at Norwich, they aren;t expecting Redmond to leave any time soon. Damn.
S-Clarke Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 My guess: Forster, Kelly, Ings Should write a book. ''How to downgrade a football club in 1 month - for Dummies''
Viking Warrior Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 This has cheered me up The skates have appointed Scott be an as their goal keeping coach
Winchester Red Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Can't believe how far down the pecking order this thread has fallen
SuperMikey Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Hull just signed Harry Maguire from Sheff Utd and Andrew Robertson from Dundee Utd. Two young defenders with good potential - they've done some good business this summer..
Minty Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2014/real-sociedad-and-southampton-interested-in-ryad-boudebouz/
hypochondriac Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Krueger met spurs but didn't talk about Rodriguez or Morgan. why would he meet them? Likely we'll sign one of theirs? Townsend? Not one I hugely rate but offers something we don't have. Dawson? Too slow IMO, too old too. Rose? Again not one I rare but he probably isn't needed there now. It was about the partnership with Toronto FC.

Not one I hugely rate but offers something we don't have. Dawson? Too slow IMO, too old too. Rose? Again not one I rare but he probably isn't needed there now. He said that he met them to talk about how to push MLS or something like that. He said that he didn't talk about Saints players.
Wiggles31 Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 So are we going to have a sudden influx of exciting players come in? Who knows. Is Koeman gonna splash the best part of £100m? Who knows. But can we have some more rumours please! Twitters? Anything to get more excited about the upcoming season.
radio slave Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 @PurelyFootball: Lazio have announced the £6.7m signing of Holland international Stefan De Vrij.
S-Clarke Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 For 6.7m, I'm so frustrated he's not here. I'd hope we could have competed with Lazio.
LaptopSaint Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Yeah 20 mill in for the Cretin Croat and 7 mil out for De Vrij would have been qualty business. Vlaar and Rojo will do fine though. But believe it when i see it.
SuperMikey Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 I've a feeling if we'd signed them, snodgrass, ince and Livermore we wouldn't be happy. All seems fine, maybe good, but it's lower table good. Don't know about that - Snodgrass aside they're all pretty exciting young talents who are established at a certain level already. Quite refreshing to see a club go out and sign young players for European competition than signing up a load of journeymen or veterans. I wouldn't be thrilled if we had signed all of them, but for a club like Hull they're great signings, and ones that will grow as the club does. Good business by Bruce imo.

I wouldn't be thrilled if we had signed all of them, but for a club like Hull they're great signings, and ones that will grow as the club does. Good business by Bruce imo. I don't think we can be too disparaging of Hull at the moment, given our recent events. Maguirre & Robertson would have been signing with good potential. It remains to be seen where we pitch our interest for incoming players. Although we dismissed the suggestion of Steve Bruce as manager , he has at least been party to some solid signings this summer to take his club forward. Obviously hoping we eclipse this, but who knows?
Chez Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 With Krueger saying we are close to bringing some in that must mean it's Forster and van dijk.
shurlock Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 With so many places to fill, am I the only one who's less bothered about bringing a keeper in at the moment? Can quite easily see Boruc going off the boil if he becomes no.2.
SuperSAINT Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 @PurelyFootball: Lazio have announced the £6.7m signing of Holland international Stefan De Vrij. What an absolute bargain that is.
madruss Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 With so many places to fill, am I the only one who's less bothered about bringing a keeper in at the moment? Can quite easily see Boruc going off the boil if he becomes no.2. Close your eyes and imagine Gazza playing in goal again. You'll soon change your stance!
St Chalet Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Personally think Boruc will remain #1 even if we sign Forster.
shurlock Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Close your eyes and imagine Gazza playing in goal again. You'll soon change your stance! I know, I know. The equivalent of not going out in soiled underwear in case you're hit by a car.
