Saint Fan CaM Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 Mirror and Mail reporting we're in for him. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2874551/Manchester-United-Southampton-alert-Wesley-Sneijder-seeks-Galatasaray-exit.html
Sour Mash Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 Would be a fantastic signing, especially if it means his wife starts attending games. He'd be a great addition and the Koeman factor would definitely help us, just not sure how much it's a lazy journalist using the agent/dutch link.
No 2 to Maybush Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 Just heard this rumor from my son! Share an agent I believe.
Goatboy Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 Just heard this rumor from my son! Share an agent I believe. Your son has an agent?
OVER THE HILL Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 He's on a reported £2.5million-a-year at Galatasaray so he would have to take a massive pay cut if he came to us.
Lets B Avenue Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 Your son has an agent? Damn! Beat me to it.
Pastor Patrón Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 Sneijder and Dybala in one window. That's what the f#ck I'm talmbout ya'heard
Crazy Diamond Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 Nah we need Gaston Ramirez back, he'll solve all our problems.
Patrick Bateman Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 £2.5m a year, Saints or Man Utd. If he comes here, well, I'll be stunned.
VectisSaint Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 He's on a reported £2.5million-a-year at Galatasaray so he would have to take a massive pay cut if he came to us. Not neccessarily, Galataray are known to be in arrears with their pay, he migjt actually get an increase in real terms.
The Cat Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 The article references his wages as £2.5m a year. I'd have thought he'd be on a lot more than that.
CalneSaint Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 £2.5M equates to about £50k a week.....which is doable?
Saint-Fred Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 2.5 million is "only" what 50k a week. What do we reckon our top players earn? I thought I read the premier average is now 2 million.
Turkish Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 2.5 million is "only" what 50k a week. What do we reckon our top players earn? I thought I read the premier average is now 2 million. Its £2.5m net apparently, so a hell of a lot more than that.
Delboy Dave Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 Lolololol. Come on guys, get a fecking grip!
rick1976.4.38 Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 utd or saints come on who do you think he'd choose? keep dreaming lads also im old enough to remember kk signing for us before anyone mentions it
TheCholulaKid Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 People talk about bigger clubs, but why isn't he already there? He was available before, and went to a second rate league, why? Cos he aint all that. Would have him in a heartbeat though.
saint lard Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 Man City will get him if anyone does. They will offer top dollar....if anything to stop Man UTD getting him. I will continue to dream though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Lorne Malvo Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 utd or saints come on who do you think he'd choose? keep dreaming lads also im old enough to remember kk signing for us before anyone mentions it How many attacking players Utd need? Can't see them buying more. FWIW hasnt he had a few injury problems hence why he was shipped to Turkey?
Lighthouse Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 utd or saints come on who do you think he'd choose? keep dreaming lads also im old enough to remember kk signing for us before anyone mentions it I remember when Kosowski signed too. Didn't think it was that special.
cellone Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 Trousers and Pastor. Well done that was a perfect double act. rfl
the saint in winchester Posted 17 December, 2014 Posted 17 December, 2014 He is signable, even at £50k pw. Pretty sure the club would back Koeman. But ... 5 years ago, I would have been excited. But he's not the player he was. Same argument for Adebayor. Spurs want to loan him out. If we do give them first option on Morgan, maybe we could get Ade as a sweetener. But again, he's not the player he once was. But I would still like him to come and join us.
SarniaSaint Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 No way Adebayor is not the type of player we recruit.......past it and disruptive presence.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 18 December, 2014 Author Posted 18 December, 2014 This is the level of signing Morgan (for example) would expect to remain interested in staying at Saints. Point is, surely if you're a club intent on bringing through talented youngsters, the best players to buy will be seasoned pro's around the 28-30yr old mark for them to learn from. I'm not saying we will get this guy, but he's the type of player we should be stretching to get as he has a great track record and will raise the bar for the entire team IMO. Trouble is we probably need 2-3 of this type of player to halt the downward trajectory we're witnessing of late - this guy, a wide playing striker and a really top CF.
van Hanegem Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Smoke screen for Classie who will be joining us as Morgans replacement. You could be right there, Sneijder earns way more than the 2,5 mentioned here and with that golddigger around him he can't afford less. I'm still hoping Clasie stays one more season with Feyenoord to become champion in 2016 but he's getting better and better and up for the next step. Saints would be the right club for him with Koeman as his manager because he will get enough time to play and adjust to the PL level.
whelk Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Its £2.5m net apparently, so a hell of a lot more than that. The draw of Turkey for players is they pay next to no tax.
Goatboy Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Who are poopey currently trying to sign? Tesco.
Charlie Wayman Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 D'y'all remember when Keegan turned up at The Potter's Heron? It would be massive on that scale... but it ain't gonna happen, right! On the other hand signing fading old stars is hardly part of our Club's alleged philosophy, Gudjohnson to Bolton was more about nostalgia than football commonsense. Surely we don't want to drift back to the good old bad old days of a team comprising other people's cast-offs and 12 club journeymen. We are Southampton, we don't do panic!

Are you comparing Eidur Gudjohnson to Wesley Sneijder, 30?
Turkish Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 someone has already mentioned Kevin Keegan.but I don't know about you guys but isn't it amazing just to be linked with these players? The only down side is he's not young, hungry and therefore guaranteed to improve. However this signing would be a real statement of intent.
eurosaint Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 The draw of Turkey for players is they pay next to no tax. This, I read at the time he signed for Galatasaray that he was on £2.5 million NETT so he'd need nearly double that over here but who knows, maybe he'd take a bit of a cut to ensure that he is actually paid at the end of every month ?

So glad we got rid of that dwarf. Now we sit 5th, i say 5TH in the league AttaTurk!!! ATTTTTTAAACKKKK
Mowgli Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 My mate Bob says we've got no hope. Damn. Had my hopes up until I read that
hans gruber Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Tbh, been pretty rubbish since "White Men Can't Jump" but sure he could still a job
OldNick Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Him and Demba Ba in a deal would be what we need.
hasper57saint Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 This is for real. Wesley doesn't want the money just the glory so he has chosen Saints. PS. I just made that up!
FarehamRed Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Sneijder would certainly soften the blow of losing Schneiderlin in the summer.
Restark19 Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Would love this to happen, would be very surprised though, wages would likely be a massive issue. Is there a clause for hull to buy gaston? If we can ship him off the wage bill permanently... (i know he's been just as sh1te for them as he was for us)
Golden Balls Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Can't see it happening. Seems to have all come from this interview on TalkSport which is all based on maybes. http://talksport.com/football/wesley-sneijder-southampton-could-be-cards-claims-dutch-football-expert-141217129065?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
torsaint Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Could we buy a player called linn as well so that we could have Schneiderlin and Sneijder Linn on the books. That should confuse the opponents.
SaintNeil90 Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Sneijder would certainly soften the blow of losing Schneiderlin in the summer. No he wouldn't! Sneijder is a No.10... who will replace Steven Davis. Schneiderlin is a DM!
Saint Charlie Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 More chance of Mayuka scoring a hattrick versus Everton than this.
