Saint_clark Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 Line in the sand does indeed indicate friction between Ron and Les etc. Suspect if we buckle Koeman will be off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Bit of a leap. "So Ron, this situation with Mane and Victor, what do you think?" "I don't want them sold, under any circumstances" "Ok, that's that then" Reed has always said in the past that no players are sold without the manager signing off on it.

Saint86 Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 I should think reed has had his wings clipped following the Toby fiasco tbh, and not to soon either, that said, we should clearly sell victor and would be very disappointed if we don't! He was never that committed tonsaints and is not a key player when compared to our other sales. Selling him for 18m with a loan deal for lamela or Townsend would be good business. However we don't seem to have another option lined up and clearly don't see reed as ready so I guess wanyama is staying. Good news on vvd signing, hopefully he settles quick as we have already dropped a lot of points we didn't or wouldn't have last year. Glad mane is happy and staying. Think he is true quality and hope the fanbase come up with some epic chants for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if he goes we need another defensive rock to play along side Romeu if he is to go. I wouldn't know where to start though especially with very little time left in the window.

For that reason, if for no other, I expect to see VW stay here until January at the very least - whether he likes it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 To be fair to Odegaard I remember reading a while back he signed for Real above everyone else because they put it in his contract he would be training with the first team and not with a junior team. They then subsequently changed their mind when he started playing for their B team and wanted him to train with the B team instead to obviously integrate better. From his perspective I'd of done the same thing, train and learn from the best which was the primary driver for signing or train and play with B team a level he has probably outgrown.

Whitey Grandad Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 A way around the loan ruling would be to sign Stekelenberg permenantly before the window closes. Easy. I guess that would be allowed, if everybody can reach agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelticGlasgow Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 Hello guys, Celtic fan here with a keen interest in Southampton. I like how your club is run and you guys are my English team so to speak. Good to see Vic doing well and hopefully you guys keep a hold of him & I hope big Fraser is back from his bad injury sooner rather than later. As already mentioned we have agreed a fee with Dinamo Zagreb for Croatia u21 international Jozo Simunovic of around £4.5m. We don't usually spend that sort of money on any player so I think it's safe to assume Celtic are confident of selling Van Dijk to you guys and this guy is his replacement. There's no way we would be spending that much on a player if we weren't selling him especially since we've already brought 4 or 5 new players in. As for VVD, he's one of the best of not the best centre backs I've ever seen at Celtic. The guy is a class act and is far, far too good for the Scottish league, he has to move for his own good. He's tall, fast, great at tackling and very strong. He's also very good with the ball at his feet and can pick a pass out of nowhere. He does tend to leave the defensive line and go for a run up the pitch with the ball. Sometimes it results in a goal or sometimes he gives the ball away trying to take on too many players. I'm sure he won't try anything silly like that in the BPL though, he is an intelligent player. I think it'll take him a few games to get used to the physicality of the BPL but once he settles in he'll be solid. He will be a Southampton player before the deadline. I'll be keeping a close eye on Southampton this season, good luck for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its interesting how you and plenty of Feyenoord fans take a reasoned and relaxed approach to players leaving to further their careers, wheras most on here go into a rage when ours depart, although much of that is to do with the manner of their leaving I suppose. You mention VW, and a good example of someone not coming out of things well at the moment with a sulk, but there you go, thata a pampered prima donna player nowadays for you. I like your views of VVD , and look forward to seeing him play for Saints. (Who can we have next season ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
