Saint86 Posted 9 July, 2015 Share Posted 9 July, 2015 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3155487/Southampton-miss-ditch-attempt-sign-Angelo-Ogbonna.html Southampton made a late attempt to sign Angelo Ogbonna from Juventus on Wednesday night but the defender is due to have his medical at West Ham on Friday before signing. The 27-year-old opted for West Ham over Everton after the London club agreed an £8.5m fee. Juventus turned down Southampton's offer, understood to be £10m, because they had already given their commitment to West Ham. Napoli also made a late enquiry. Southampton are weighing up midfield options too with Morgan Schneiderlin set to depart. Marseille's Mario Lemina has been discussed as has Feyenoord's Jordy Clasie and former Arsenal player Kyle Ebicilio, 21, who has been playing for FC Twente. Schneiderlin was the subject of much transfer speculation last summer too, but it appears the France midfielder will complete a move away from St Mary's, with Manchester United the likely destination. If true then it is becoming a joke this summer. Board look to have got very lucky with Koeman last year but are currently on a mission to hamstring him utterly atm.

shurlock Posted 9 July, 2015 Share Posted 9 July, 2015 Probably miss out on players all the time. All clubs do. We don't know how serious saints interest was, seems futile getting upset about it. We will clearly sign a CB and have a very good record of doing so. You don't make an offer (contrast with making an enquiry) unless you're serious.

S-Clarke Posted 9 July, 2015 Share Posted 9 July, 2015 Same bed-wetting threads as last summer. Was Alderweireld our first choice last summer? Our first choice last year seemed to be Vlaar. Toby did seem to come out of no where on deadline day, or the day before. Nothing to suggest we cannot do similar (although earlier please, saints!)

shurlock Posted 9 July, 2015 Share Posted 9 July, 2015 He's not very good. Would much prefer van Dijk. He was seen as one of the hottest properties in italian football a couple of seasons ago. Maybe he's destined to become the Italian Titus Bramble; or maybe the move didn't work for no fault of his own. It happens. Either way, we have a track-record of going for players whose stock has fallen in value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, we have a track-record of going for players whose stock has fallen in value. He was highly rated at Torino, but the move to Juve didn't work out. He's looked very leggy/cumbersome for them. He's very powerful and athletic, but seemingly prone to some very big lapses. He's not a bad player by any means, he could probably do ok in the right environment - but I wouldn't say we've missed out on the signing of the decade.

tpbury Posted 10 July, 2015 Share Posted 10 July, 2015 Finding it hard to get upset about the failure of a bid I wasn't aware of for a player I have never heard of. With you on this! Coz I read this stupid site, I know far more about the ins and outs of transfers than most of my Saints supporting family and friends in the UK. It's not because they don't care about Saints, it's just that most of them just wait to see what's actually happened, rather than fret about a million things that may happen. All this shizz doesn't bother them a bit, as they're blissfully unaware - I suspect this applies to most 'normal' saints. I also suspect this type of fan is under represented on this board!
