Bucks Saint Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 There was an interview with a Dutch journo who said that Koeman took the captaincy away from him, and that de Vrij quite possibly never forgave him for that and wouldn't want to sign for him. Yep its bound to be this which swung playing for Lazio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucks Saint Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 Damn.... @alex_crook: Looks like #saintsfc have cooled their interest in Marcos Rojo after landing Ryan Bertrand Dont buy this. Might have cooled because the player wants to go elsewhere, thats all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buctootim Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 I cant see us paying £16m for a cb. also Sporting have just sold another cb to Spurs, so maybe they're happy to hold on to him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the money and we really need new CB's so yes 16m is nothing atm. Get him and the Celtic defender and we'll be sorted for Cb's imo. Offload Jos though.

The Southampton, the English Premier League, presented yesterday in Alvalade, an offer of € 12 million for the outright transfer of all economic and sporting rights defender Marcos Rojo. The second SET was found to offer the emblem of southern England was rejected not only by the figures, but also due to how the payment would be made. Looks like Les was out in Portugal yesterday, seems we have not given up on Rojo yet. Or at least we are not done making troll offers for him.

Exactly.Even if we have a bid accepted we still have the small matter of him agreeing terms, or farting around whilst awaiting a better offer.

Bewildered Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 You would hope and expect so, but if we see VVD disappearing off the target to join Swansea it will be disappointing. To be honest it depends who the priority CB target is. It seems Les was in Portugal yesterday trying to negotiate for Rojo (CB primarily for his club) and Guan and some media outlets suggest the club are very keen on Vlaar. Perhaps VVD is not as high on the club's list of preferred targets as press reports had suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 If true, and Reed has travelled out to Portugal for this deal, I'd imagine we're beyond the point of just chucking in a cheeky low-bid to see what happens.

Big challenge to get it over the line,, but does suggest we're getting close. I agree with this, I can't imagine Les heading to Portugal to offer an amount that they will refuse then fly home. There will be some negotiations, haggling face to face then hopefully an agreement can be made and then Les will speak to Rojo whilst there and the negotiations will start again. Could be out there a couple of days, hopefully bring him back on the plane in time for Saturday's game to watch his team mates in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon Saint Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 Uncle Les must have been sufficiently encouraged to fly over to Portugal to get the deal done. These things take time - as it did with Tadic & Pelle - though you get the sense that we'll be facing tougher competition for his signature this time around. If we manage to bring in Taider, Rojo and Forster this week then we'll start to resemble a decent team again. Get Belhanda, another striker (Ings?), and Vlarr in on top of those, and we'll certainly have better depth than last season. Whether we'll have better quality or not, time will tell.

SaintRobbie Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 Rojo does look impressive. I think he'll make a good replacement for Shaw, Bertrand has replaced Fox as cover. If we get Rojo we have LB sewn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
