JxgrSaint Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 @SimonPeach: Lots of talk about Atletico Madrid's Mario Suarez to St Mary's, but I am told #SaintsFC have not made contact about him
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Jermaine Lens confirmed as signed for Sunderland. One of our previous interests!
Saint Garrett Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Jermaine Lens confirmed as signed for Sunderland. One of our previous interests! Be interesting to see how him and Gueye get on this year....
Saint Charlie Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Doesn't matter what Celtic do in the CL if Van Dijk has decided to leave.
Badger Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Doesn't matter what Celtic do in the CL if Van Dijk has decided to leave. With Clasie now signed up, we can move onto the next one - hopefully VVD.
Wiggles31 Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 So who will the next signing be. Van Dijk for me.
farawaysaint Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 So who will the next signing be. Van Dijk for me. If we get Virgil I will officially call it a very decent transfer window.
Lorne Malvo Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 If we get Virgil I will officially call it a very decent transfer window. Would be a FAB Window.
Convict Colony Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 (edited) If we get Virgil I will officially call it a very decent transfer window. Celtic fans are coming round to him coming to us - http://www.talkceltic.net/forum/showthread.php?t=136126&page=168 And an 3 day old article - http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/07/13/alderweireld-deal-could-pose-threat-to-celtic-as-southampton-rep/ Edited 16 July, 2015 by Convict Colony
Pancake Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 Blimey, sensible stuff on the Celtic forum. And balanced too. That can't be a real football forum...
Shance Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 (edited) Doesn't matter what Celtic do in the CL if Van Dijk has decided to leave. I think they just want to keep their best players long enough to help them qualify. Same as what happened with Forster and Wanyama. Qualify is a lot of money for them. Edited 16 July, 2015 by Shance
doddisalegend Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 Blimey, sensible stuff on the Celtic forum. And balanced too. That can't be a real football forum... Probably difficult to find much to get upset about when your club has no rivals and basically ****es all over the rest of your countries football teams?
Webby Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 If we get Virgil I will officially call it a very decent transfer window. It'd be good, but most of what we've bought so far are replacements for those that have left. I still think we need to strengthen the bench and/or have different options.
Lorne Malvo Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 Blimey, sensible stuff on the Celtic forum. And balanced too. That can't be a real football forum... Changed their tune about us since the VW transfer it seems!

Qualify is a lot of money for them. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/586755/Celtic-Virgil-van-Dijk-Champions-League-group-stage Summary: if they don't reach the group stage he'll probably leave. It's not exactly a short journey though, so there's still hope they will get knocked out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E2%80%9316_UEFA_Champions_League

Webby Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 I'm sure it's been asked but is he cup tied for Europa then? I don't know, but, different competition surely?

And I hope that we're not basing our recruitment policy on waiting around for a while hanging on Celtic results.
eddie Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 I can't imagine its that much of a factor. And I hope that we're not basing our recruitment policy on waiting around for a while hanging on Celtic results. there's got to be someone who cares about celtic results.... surely... noone?
Saint_Ash Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 there's got to be someone who cares about celtic results.... surely... noone? Craig Noone? Nah, he's a winger for Cardiff, doubt he cares about Celtic's results either.
sebsanderssaint Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 Virgil Van Dijk has favourited two tweets - one being our official announcement of Clasie joining, and the other being Jordy Clasie announcing he has joined. I have no idea if they are friends or whatever, could there be something in this?

Saint IQ Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 Not rumoured but if we are after another CM as Guan says I've always rated Michael Bradley who now plays for Toronto FC in the MLS, he's a 27 yr old , energetic, technically good midfielder in his prime and far too good to be in that league at his age.

It's not exactly a short journey though, so there's still hope they will get knocked out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E2%80%9316_UEFA_Champions_League In summary then, for Celtic, they may have: Third qualifying round The first legs will be played on 28 and 29 July, and the second legs will be played on 4 and 5 August 2015. Play-off round The first legs will be played on 18 and 19 August, and the second legs will be played on 25 and 26 August 2015. If signing him does depend on Celtic going out before group stages, the latest we may get him is after 26th August. Not ideal.
Deano6 Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 Probably difficult to find much to get upset about when your club has no rivals and basically ****es all over the rest of your countries football teams Celtic or Saints?
eddie Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 Craig Noone? Nah, he's a winger for Cardiff, doubt he cares about Celtic's results either. Ah well, makes sense. I thought he had scottish parents.

If signing him does depend on Celtic going out before group stages, the latest we may get him is after 26th August. Not ideal. Yes, agree. We want to be getting our players on the bus ready for our season. And what if they qualify for the CL proper? It could be into September. They did this with Wanyama, but I hope we can get him released to suit our timetable, rather than Celtic's.
the saint in winchester Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 Not rumoured but if we are after another CM as Guan says I've always rated Michael Bradley who now plays for Toronto FC in the MLS, he's a 27 yr old , energetic, technically good midfielder in his prime and far too good to be in that league at his age. Yes, Michael Bradley would be good. Not sure there is any intel on US players in the famed Black Box, however.
beavis17 Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 Barcelona are willing to let Arda Turan go out on loan to a team not in the Champions League…
doggface Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 Yes, Michael Bradley would be good. Not sure there is any intel on US players in the famed Black Box, however. Bradley's wages are huge so can't see that happening. Decent player but rather have Clasie and Vic. Giovinco though has been brilliant, but again DP wages.
Redslo Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 Yes, Michael Bradley would be good. Not sure there is any intel on US players in the famed Black Box, however. There is lots about him in the black box given the easy availability of MLS video. That being said, there is little chance he would be available before January since Toronto is in a tight play off race and will need him to keep (or improve) their place in the standings. (Standings is correct because it is a North American league.) Also, he appears to be on 80K pounds per week so he is too expensive for us. Bradley's wages are huge so can't see that happening. Decent player but rather have Clasie and Vic. Giovinco though has been brilliant, but again DP wages. Giovinco is reported to be on 86K pounds per week. Please note that I am using google, not Football Manager for these numbers. I am not sure if that is better or worse.
SNSUN Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 Barcelona are willing to let Arda Turan go out on loan to a team not in the Champions League… Id take him for 6 months but depends on how much wage we'd hAve to pay. More of a signing for Liverpool TBF.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 Being reported (by Alan Nixon for one, but also in the Netherlands) than an unnamed English club are trying to hijack Villa's move for Tjarron Chery - 27 year old midfielder from Groningen. Saints...?

Saints...? Would could smuggle him into our changing room on Saturday! Can't see him costing a Schlong though

Wrensup Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 Think it's QPR. My sources are telling me this too.
Restark19 Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Alex McCarthy supposedly has a £3.5m buyout clause. Would be a good backup for Stekelenburg and is home grown
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Hmm Villa or QPR. Think I'd rather stay in Groningen. Or stab myself in the eye with a rusty nail.
a1ex2001 Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Hmm Villa or QPR. Think I'd rather stay in Groningen. Or stab myself in the eye with a rusty nail. No you' take the mega pay day at Villa and the opportunity to prove yourself in the best paying league in the world
Soggy Bottom Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 There are few on Twitter mentioning Arda Turan on loan till January, now that would be awesome.
Jez Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 There are few on Twitter mentioning Arda Turan on loan till January, now that would be awesome. No doubt they read posts 2496 and 2499 then took to twitter
Saint_Ash Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Due to the fact we're playing the toughest unseeded team in the Europa draw in less than 2 weeks hopefully this will ramp up the proceedings of us getting in a quality defender.
DuncanRG Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 Due to the fact we're playing the toughest unseeded team in the Europa draw in less than 2 weeks hopefully this will ramp up the proceedings of us getting in a quality defender. Unless we get someone in the next day or two I'd rather play Yoshida, as someone who knows the team and has plenty of experience next to Fonte.
SuperSAINT Posted 17 July, 2015 Posted 17 July, 2015 https://www.clubcall.com/southampton/teenage-midfielder-on-saints-radar-1775215.html?
Wiggles31 Posted 20 July, 2015 Posted 20 July, 2015 Bump! Any new links? Can't find any aside from Vlaar who it looks unlikely to sign (thankfully!).
Saint_Ash Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Alex Crook saying we have enquired about taking Djuricic from benfica. Surprised if we have, our attacking options look good at the mo.
