brmbrm Posted 18 June, 2015 Share Posted 18 June, 2015 Things are being done nice and early this year, just as it should be. Obviously, the Club have realised the importance, at long last, of getting players in early and settling in over the summer. I have long advocated this. Costs a couple more months of salary though, so there is a downside. Having said that, I like the deals sorted early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint IQ Posted 18 June, 2015 Share Posted 18 June, 2015 I like the deals sorted early yet it seemed to go so well getting them in so late last season "If it ain't broke..." The fact we got them so cheaply means we have no need to sell so we won't be selling cheaply, much like last year. Having said that, I like the deals sorted early.

Deano6 Posted 18 June, 2015 Share Posted 18 June, 2015 It's seems like they signed them early just to p!ss off Alpine and make him come up with a new gripe to moan about.

Saint Billy Posted 18 June, 2015 Share Posted 18 June, 2015 I am still somewhat confused as to how we pronounce his name which is a bit worrying, plus I must point out that buying early means we have to cover 2 months salary for these guys.

LVSaint Posted 18 June, 2015 Share Posted 18 June, 2015 I like the deals sorted early. However the downside is that there is a stronger chance that players could end up spending most of their time in the physio room. Like Billy Sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonb Posted 19 June, 2015 Share Posted 19 June, 2015 Sourced from the 'right-backs' thread over on the Oatcake (Stoke City) forum: http://m.stokesentinel.co.uk/Stoke-City-Cedric-Soares-pursuit-doomed-start/story-26724101-detail/story.html Sporting Lisbon had been in dispute with Southampton over an alleged illegal approach for Marcos Rojo before he ended up leaving Portugal for Manchester United last summer. But events took a different twist involving another issue elsewhere, it seems, and that suddenly left Sporting Lisbon requiring Southampton's help to win a dispute they have with another party.

I fail to see how that would influence Soares' choice of clubs as Lisbon had agreed a fee with both Saints and Stoke. So anything between Sporting and Saints concerning Rojo is irrelevant to his choice. He came to Saints because... - we have a better team with better players - Fonte's influence perhaps played a role, as would working for someone of the standing in European football of Ronald Koeman - we have Europa League football - have better facilities; bigger stadium and the £40m of upgrade at Staplewood training ground is more impressive than Stoke's training ground Its just the Stoke paper ignoring that and looking for conspiracy theories.

angelman Posted 19 June, 2015 Share Posted 19 June, 2015 Need our help to win a dispute they have with another party. That's all a little mysterious. Filip Đuričić is the only open ended business that we have in Portugal. Apart from that I guess it could be agent related, or the other dodgy area (which we aren't allowed to get involved with in PL so we are clear) is 3rd party ownership of South American players.
