Window Cleaner Posted 11 August, 2014 Share Posted 11 August, 2014 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.

angelman Posted 11 August, 2014 Share Posted 11 August, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazlo78 Posted 11 August, 2014 Share Posted 11 August, 2014 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.

SaintRobbie Posted 11 August, 2014 Share Posted 11 August, 2014 I think Gardos is our Rojo alternative. I think we need x2 CBs so maybe not an alternative. Still could see de Dijk or Vlaar in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint IQ Posted 11 August, 2014 Share Posted 11 August, 2014 (edited) 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?

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Posted 11 August, 2014 Share Posted 11 August, 2014 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!

Saint Charlie Posted 11 August, 2014 Share Posted 11 August, 2014 Yoshida is good enough as back-up for me.

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.
