Saint Albert Posted 1 December, 2016 Share Posted 1 December, 2016 According to the Sun, Fonte to Man U is back on, Liverpool are confident of getting VVD, and we will buy Wimmer from Spurs as a replacement. The article claims that Saints are "resigned" to losing both VVD and Fonte over the next two transfer windows: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/2300298/southampton-transfer-news-south-coast-club-expect-to-lose-virgil-van-dijk-and-jose-fonte-to-liverpool-and-manchester-united/ The Fonte bit does not seem new but might explain why he has not signed a new contract, the VVD story seems recycled from the last few weeks, the "resigned" bit sounds made up and I can't see Les being too excited about dealing with Levy. Other than that it's a great article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass the Dutchie Posted 1 December, 2016 Share Posted 1 December, 2016 I could see Fonte go, if someone really wants him. I don't want him to go, but the way we're getting used to not playing him outside the PL seems to hint at the possibility. Other than him, I can't see anyone go. Although, perhaps Rodriguez on a loan if we can get someone more confident in his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSFC Posted 1 December, 2016 Share Posted 1 December, 2016 I expect that our january window will be fairly quiet both ways. I can only see replacements if we decide to let Jrod, Martina or maybe Fonte go. Its fairly clear that we need to replace Fonte in the not too distant future but I would expect that to be in the summer. We obviously need more goals but in 4-5 weeks time this could be a very different situation on the assumption that Long and Boufal start hitting the back of the net. Again I would expect a decent signing in this area in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADutchSaint Posted 1 December, 2016 Share Posted 1 December, 2016 It all depends who comes knocking at our doors. If the top clubs come with premium fees for Fonte and/or Van Dijk then i can even see them both going. And really, i wouldnt have a problem with that if we have replacements ready to come in. And i can see it happening cause clubs are desperate to get into Champions League spots, more then ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You like many others take what you read in papers as gospel when actually they (and Sky) are masters at peddling gossip to effectively drive income. Their agendas are all based on the "big clubs" because they have the most followers. They have no interest in the sport itself. Occasionally think for yourself based on logical thought and sporting sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonte possibly, if the right money and a quality replacement coming in (get impression he has burnt some bridges), but not VVD in January. The talk of him going to Liverpool especially is utter nonsense, as you've got to be talking about a £50m plus bid, and they haven't got that kind of clout. I can see a centre forward and possibly centre half coming in, should Fonte go - both likely Puel targets from France. This squad is not far off from having excellent options in all positions.

Evil Monkey Posted 1 December, 2016 Share Posted 1 December, 2016 Really need a right back, Pied won't be back till next season and an ideal half season loan would be ideal With Cedric now playing well, Martina as able back up, Yoshida has also done well there recently (can't remember the game) and Valery waiting in the wings as another potential academy star, I don't see RB being an area we will look to recruit.

mrfahaji Posted 1 December, 2016 Share Posted 1 December, 2016 (edited) Everyone has opinions and I'm not a bedwetter but if we want to be better or at least consistent Martina isn't good enough even as back up But he's actually back up to the back up. When you factor that in, we probably shouldn't be expecting him to be that great. Half a season loan is a decent call, but only all the time we're rotating between competitions. Not sure if the second half of the season will be as demanding in terms of fixture congestion. Edited 1 December, 2016 by mrfahaji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass the Dutchie Posted 1 December, 2016 Share Posted 1 December, 2016 With the JRod gamble not looking to have paid off perhaps we should take another look at Haller? According to the Daily Expres Pochettino wants him. Haller was recently robbed in his home in the Netherlands and moved to a different one because he didn't feel safe there anymore. Who knows, maybe he'll want to move away all the way and be able to speak some French with his coach again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Albert Posted 6 December, 2016 Share Posted 6 December, 2016 Let's hope so! Berahino coming the other way would be very nice an would probably suit all parties involved Others would argue that he will fail the character test. I think that he would be a nice Saints project. He's a natural goal scorer, unsuited to playing in a Pulis squad, and he had his head turned by Levy. I think that we can fix him. He's probably holding out for the big wages involved in free agency by signing abroad in Jan, or for someone of his choosing in summer, but he does seem a little broken now. Austin was in a similar position last Jan and he signed for us, so you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
