Sporting Lisbon saying now that they are keeping him, not for sale. Understandable receiving only 25% of any payments.

 

Still Doyen will get 50% of the 32 milion paid for Mangala, that should keep the wolf from the door for a couple of weeks so perhaps they don't need the money from a Rojo sale...yet.

Leeds want 10 million for Byram....good luck!

 

Well, they got £11m from Fulham for McCormack, so maybe they think that this is what they will get for everyone. He signed a new 4 year deal in 2013. Byram has a year less (ending 2016). We aren't going to pay that, they aren't going to get that, but then I guess they don't want to sell.

Could anyone update me quickly on how much we have spent so far?

 

£8m - Pellè

£11m - Tadić

£10m - Forster

Potential £15m more on Bertrand and Taïder

Second bid submitted for Byram according to SS News

 

On another thread, someone says SSN reported that we've given up on Byram and Rojo.

Posted
On SSN - we've walked away from Byram and Rojo. Moved on to other targets.

Sounds like SSN can't make their minds up today.

There you go, presumably SSN and SS News are the same?

Southampton have submitted a 2nd bid for Sam Byram (via @SkySportsNews ) #lufc #saintsfc

 

Of course he may have misheard.

Sorry if already mentioned - according to this Danish article, the agent of Lokeren defender Alexander Scholz has mentioned Saints and Sunderland as interested in signing his player:

 

http://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/fodbold/udenlandsk_fodbold/engelsk_fodbold/PremierLeague/article4959881.ece

 

He's a CB/RB and would cost around €2-3M. Celtic seems to be front runners on this one though...

 

Sure we'll sign him from Celtic when Clyne goes next summer for about 6 times what they pay for him then!

We don't need two CBs. Fonte is a good enough CB.

 

I dissagree. If something happened to Fonte I would like us to have another of similar strength at least to come in alongside Gardos. Jos and Maya are just not good enough to assume the responsibility for an extended period of time.

Better for less would be fairly difficult to find I think, 4 million £ isn't a lot of money PL wise. Work permlit regulations being as they are of course. If the Uk had no work permit criteria for non EU players then I'm sure we could find better and for less. Just don't let the bloke who scouted Mayuka have anything to do with it

 

Cortese? He isn't here anymore mate so no problems there

Why are you including future years? In 2014/15 Saints are only paying for their 2014/15 wages.

So now all players are to be paid out of transfer receipts ? That's a bit strange isn't it? I mean the PL central fund actually give us a lot of money for that don't they.

If we'd have kept the err 7 players that are no longer here we'd have had to pay them, as we did last season with a salary mass of 52 million £ or so. No-one is going to make me believe that we're paying Pelle as much as we did Lambert or Taider as much as we did Osvaldo.

Fed up now.

 

Think our signings have been good, think the Romanian guy sounds good.

 

But we haven't sold good. We've sold very very good.

 

Maybe I'm impatient, I just want an exciting signing that proves conclusively Saints are still ambitious and mean business. Rojo or Hernandez would have done that. Belhanda not as much, but still would be excellent.

 

I don't blame Saints for most this, but UEFA. Why is it that 5 days before the season starts we are all looking at the league and unable to judge team's squads? All saying 'see what they look like after the deadline'.

 

Championship clubs may look good, but who'll lose players before the deadline?

 

It's madness. Just say July 31st, then focus on the season ahead FFS!

 

We have til sept 1st!

He would be doing that patronising thing he does like talking down to everyone and saying we are lacking in self control.

Its only players signed from 2014/15 season whose salaries will be paid from transfer receipts, or I hope thats what Ralph said!

Anyone posted anything about this chap, pal of mine (in Spain) seems to think we are interested. Apologies if already posted.

 

Sergi Roberto Carnicer is a Spanish footballer who plays for FC Barcelona as a central midfielder. Wikipedia

Could be, can't see exactly why we'd need any more CMs just now though.

Yoshida is good enough as back-up for me.

I'm sure he is, but more importantly is he good enough back up for Fonte or Gardos if he joins ?

Posted

I would say backup should be the 4th choice and really you need three centre backs competing for the starting places. It shouldn't be that one injury or suspension hampers the team hugely.

Agree.

 

Yoshida seems to make some mistake every game. He is always a 'mistake away' from a balls up, which is marginally better than Jos just having an own goal just around the corner I suppose.

Its now been deleted, it was...

 

@GarethBale11: Double sessions today, so just chilling with Maya before the next session #saintsfc http://twitter.com/GarethBale11/status/498818348827021312/photo/1pic.twitter.com/ERbhe8rqjd

 

 

and was a pic of JWP and Yoshida. I think JWP logged into Bales twitter!

 

Bale is in England today for Real's match tomorrow. Maybe he did a visit to Southampton today. JWP tweeted that tweet from his own account.

@GarethBale11 is Bales official twitter account.

Surely no chance of that one? Would be an incredible signing.

 

I wouldn't put too much faith in Shoots credibility, but yes it would be a special signing despite his age.

indeed. nice 2-3 year deal

or even a season loan
