How do Stoke convince Bojan, Shaqiri, Imbula, Muniesa etc. to join them in the first place? Can't imagine their wage bill is THAT much higher than ours...

Judging on the latest reported numbers, their wage bill isn't higher than ours anyway.

This one gave me a laugh. Gotze turned down Liverpool apparently. 1 year left on his contract.

 

“I don’t know whether there was indeed an offer from Liverpool, but why would he join a club that do not even play in the Champions League?"

But history.... Klopp... the Kop.... Second bestest fans in the world third biggest club in world football..... Why would he not want to go there?

It's the area that attracted them. I lived in stoke for three years and can confirm that it's a utopian dream of a place.

Entering the final year of he contract. Badly ruptured his hamstring in early 2014, which had to be sewn, stapled and glued back together, missed the entire 14/15 season and only started appearing again for Ajax this season, a diminished version of the player he was.

 

£3.8m could turn out to be a bargain - the talent is still there and he's only 21. But he might be playing the rest of his career on one good leg.

Sounds a bit like one or two members of the Saints strike force...!

@GFFN: Breaking | Raphaël Guerreiro is closing in on a move to Borussia Dortmund, a deal could be closed in the coming hours. More to follow.

 

Could be a blow as Liverpool were also in for him.

 

He is a left back and Guan mentioned they also like Bertrand...

Doh. Was hoping Liverpool would sign him.

 

(So as to avoid the possible Bertrand scenario above)

Pochettino was also spotted at St. Mary's at Kelvin Davis' testimonial recently, so it clearly must be true.

 

Spurs want Davis (the dressing room needs sorting out following the collapse that let to St Totringhams day once again arriving)

You missed the word special, you have to use it when talking about Liverpool and European games.

 

.......and what would happen if they went out in the 3rd round of the FA Cup in January ? There's only the derby game with Everton left to look forward to ......:lol:

Liverpool have targeted Southampton star Sadio Mane. :D

 

meaning that they need to sign a defender who can keep pace with Mane the next time they come to SMS.......

 

Why?.....when they've already signed Lovren and Caulker :lol:

Liverpool have just been in two cup finals, we'd take that over a sixth place finish surely?

They lost both of their cup finals, finished eighth and have no European football next year. #livingthedream

English champions Leicester City are set to strengthen their squad for next season by signing World Cup winner goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler from relegated Hanover 96, the German club announced on Sunday.

 

The 27-year-old 'keeper is set to travel to England on Monday to complete the medical with his transfer to cost a reported 3.5m euros after he activated a release clause in his Hanover contract.

Rashford has just signed a new contract at Manchester United for £20k a week.

 

#noambition

 

Only 20K a week.. to think at his age I was earning a £100 a week and that he'll earn more than me and the wife earn in a year in three weeks at 18 years old :(

West Ham are leading the chase to land one of the most sought-after young talents in Europe - that's Lyon's 22-year old centre-back Samuel Umtiti, according to Sky sources.

 

The Cameroon-born defender, who's been named on Didier Deschamps 'stand-by' list for Euro 2016, helped Lyon to second place in Ligue Un, scoring once in 30 appearances.

 

Umtiti has previously been linked with a move to PSG, Barcelona and Spurs.

 

Lyon may not be keen to strengthen their biggest rivals in France - who finished 31 points ahead of them this season.

#WestHam have submitted a £15m bid for #ACMilan striker Carlos Bacca - Sky sources.#WHUFC

 

This the 6th/7th striker they've bid for now? They really don't get how buying players works now a days.

 

When they finally get round to going for Benteke and he's number 14/15 on the west ham striker list, I'm pretty sure he'll just end it from depression on the drive down.

I don't quite understand their tact to be honest, why don't they just keep their cards close to their chest? why blurt out that they're after a £30m striker? Surely all that does is make the entire thing more difficult and more of a charade.

Makes them look ambitious in the eyes of other potential transfer targets. An interesting strategy which could help them punch above their weight in the transfer window, though they will end up paying inflated fees.

It reeks of poor planning. You'd think in this day and age they'd have been scouting over the past year, know the qualities (thanks Ronald) they want in a striker and done their research on possible fees. Instead they're seemingly throwing a bid at every striker with a reputation. Everything we hear about the way Saints go about their business is calm and methodical. I know which way I prefer and I know which will work better.

West Ham in for bacca apparently. Do these knob heads do any business behind closed doors? It seems every time they bid on someone either the chairman or his dickhead son has to release a ****ing statement on twitter!!!

what they should do, is have their captain overtly tap up other players

that is the better way of doing things

either it's their policy to be very open about transfers, or there is someone at the club hemorrhaging information to newspapers for a tidy fee

This is afterall the professional and acceptable way for larger clubs to do things. Particularly when there are international matches on.

 

(Hopefully Faser and Bertrand have been well briefed by the black box...)
