Saints Transfers Thread - Deadline Day

[Suhari]

Out of Forster, McCarthy, Gazzaniga and Taylor - McCarthy is injured, Gazzaniga is off to Spurs and Taylor isn't good enough for the bench. So I would say that a goalkeeper (presumably on a loan, like we did with Hassen) is a priority for us.

 

Gazza off to Spurs?

[SuperSAINT]

Battling with the dug outs for Noah Fadiga according to papers

 

Looks like we failed....

Gazza off to Spurs?

 

Yeah, been reported in a few places as back-up. He hasn't been assigned a squad number with us.

[Give it to Ron]

McCarthy is saying he is now fully fit.

Sampdoria have bid 16m euros for Vietto his club want 20m

Think the No 1 shirt is still available isn't it after FF opted for 44.

[Tom28]

Any updates on any of these, Tom?

 

The loan offer with option to buy was for Vietto. It's stalled though apparently. Other options being looked at.

 

I'm told the favoured CB we are after is Wimmer. Depends on Spurs signing a replacement.

 

Formal offers for VVD expected this week. From at least 2 clubs, possibly 3. One from abroad apparently. If valuation is met, he will go. Not to Liverpool though. Their offer, if it comes, I'm told will be refused.

 

Still don't know who the keeper is or what the status of that deal is.

 

Sorry, no real news which is why I haven't posted recently, but you asked....

Like.

 

Although one thing I find irritating is that this drags on in the season - wish they'd shut the f**king window before the first match.

Delighted about the VD news.

 

CB - was hoping Hoedt might be the option,nothing against Wimmer but certainly hope we don't go anywhere near the value spurs had allegedly put on him (£20m). But if he's anywhere near that then Gazzaniga should be £5m to them (or £150,000 to Reading perhaps).

[Tom28]

Well, the three I was told would be going out were VVD, Clasie and Gazzaniga. The attacking player was coming in anyway. However, I've asked about Long having seen stories about him and not really given an answer. Perhaps we are looking at two attacking players coming in? One additional and one as a Long replacement? But that's me guessing.

This is very true. Forgot them.

 

But would they pay £60m?!

[jasoneuelllfanclub]

Alex McCarthy is "fully fit" - according to his latest tweet. That either means he's being vague about when he returned to fitness or has someone bid for him?

He tweeted week before last he had a niggle but due back next week (last week). According to Ben dinary on twitter saints open to offers for him. Last season was odd as well. Saints were so quiet about his injury. I don't buy a hamstring injury meant he was out for over 5 months.

How much do Madrid want for Vietto?

[S-Clarke]

How much do Madrid want for Vietto?

 

Around 20 million euro, so 15/16m ish. similar price to what we paid for Lemina.

 

Think we want a loan though with a view to buy, not sure how keen Atleti would be to that after our previous cock up...

[danjosaint]

Really hope it's not Wimmer

[Faz]

I think the club have earned our trust, particularly in assessing centre back options.

[angelman]

It is unlike the club to release who they are after, so maybe Wimmer is a stalking horse.

[SuperSAINT]

Looks decent to me.

 

Expensive, but that's the market.

Wimmer - doesn't inspire me in the slightest. How anyone can be worth 4/5 times more than they were bought for, whilst only playing 15 times in 2 years?

 

Personally think we need an absolute beast, someone who dominates our area and wins headers. They don't have to be brilliant on the bqll as think Stephens can take that role. Anyone seen anything of Wimmer to know what sort of CB he is?

[Faz]

He did exactly what he was supposed to do, provide cover. He did it rather well.

I watched him playing for Austria against Ireland last season and he was genuinely **** poor. Obviously anyone can have an off day but I wouldn't fancy him..

If City want Van Dijk then Mangala will need a new home. Good defender, a physical specimen but not too great on the ball, City fans say he is a really nice guy, left footed too, rather have him than Wimmer.

By the way, the last link with Wimmer that said we bid 22m euros came from this Austrian newspaper: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kronen_Zeitung

From that description, I wouldn't take it very seriously.

He was warming up as the 3rd keeper at the weekend, so is probably fit but wasn't risked for the bench.

Agree we need someone who is strong in the air and while I think I would prefer Hoedt, Wimmer did win 88 aerial duels in 32 Bundesliga appearances for Cologne in the 2014/15 season.

We seem to have cornered the markets in having gk's that we dare not let near the bench, or playing.

But It shouldn't have got to that, they shouldve paid the extra 5m for Scharr

What?

[danjosaint]

We were in for a couple of cb' s straight away to replace fonte, an ex Bayern cb, can't remember his name but he got injured the week before and another cb that by accounts was Fabian Schar, but as we had money from fonte sale Hoffenheim but there price up by 5m, hence we pulled out and went with Caceres as we desperately needed another cb be it back up or 1st/2nd choice

[Dusic]

Van Dijk to Wimmer would be like selling Bertrand and buying Masuaku.

 

There is a reason he never plays for Spurs even when they have CBs unavailable.

[Saint86]

Theo Walcott anyone?

[Portugalsaint]

Luke Shaw a snip at 18m. Never go back.

[JxgrSaint]

Jesé Rodriguez from PSG? Available for c.£20m - guess wages might be an issue but apparently he fancies the Prem...

[danjosaint]

Think Shaw could be bait for Rose

[Baird of the land]

Replacing one of the best centre backs in the league with spurs fourth choice hmm.

He may be a lot better than his most recent poor spurs outings but hardly a move to set the pulse racing.

Can you clarify what's happening with McCarthy, Tom? It's all been a bit odd.

Are we likely to sign another keeper? Cheers...

[St. Neil]

Casillas is the goalie in question.

Really? Why would he give up Champions League football to sit on our bench?

Beggars belief that we are offering so much money for someone who can't get a game . Spurs/Levy always demand top dollar so seems odd why we would deal with them in the first place .

Well seeing as this is a thread on transfer rumours and its been confirmed by ITK that we are after Wimmer I'm unsure as to your point exactly .

 

Surely every post on every forum is worthless supposition in your oh so important opinion which begs the question . Why are you on a thread about rumours when comments on those rumours upset you so ?

My best mate is a Spurs fan and thinks Wimmer is a good player. Is disappointed that Pochettino clearly doesn't rate him, especially if they're going to play 3 at the back.

 

That being said, as Pochettino clearly isn't his biggest fan, I'd be disappointed if Spurs insisted on such a high fee and if we then agreed to it. He is, at best, a decent defender with some upside. Not sure that warrants a £20m pricetag.

They didn't play 3 at the back yesterday though and even if they were going to it would be Dier/Toby/Vertongen. They have so many options because the young lad Walker Peters looked decidedly handy at RB yesterday as well. Even Vic didn't make the starting line up because Dier took his place, not being required in the back row on this occasion.

I would have thought that the point is very simple. You wrote "Beggars belief that we are offering so much money". How do you know what money is being offered and how much is it that you feel it necessary to state that it beggars belief? Me thinks you are going on what the papers have said that Spurs are trying to get. That may be true, it may not be, but you seem awfully certain, so was just wondering how certain you were.
