Batman Posted 23 December, 2016 Posted 23 December, 2016 Think we may have already made our first signing. Pretty big money. Wimmer, with Fonte out
Greenridge Posted 23 December, 2016 Posted 23 December, 2016 The window doesn't need to be open to make a signing just cant play until after Jan 2nd Ok cheers. They can sign but not register.
Cartman Posted 23 December, 2016 Posted 23 December, 2016 Think we may have already made our first signing. Pretty big money. Oh hello! What position? Driussi! Driussi! Driussi! Or if Fonte is going, Yerry Mina! Yerry Mina! Yerry Mina!

SuperSAINT Posted 23 December, 2016 Author Posted 23 December, 2016 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/southampton-west-brom-set-transfer-9508983 Linked with Fabian Schar A "Saintsy" kind of signing.
Cartman Posted 23 December, 2016 Posted 23 December, 2016 Think we may have already made our first signing. Pretty big money. You can't just say that and leave it there, we are humans and have rights. Tell us more.
trousers Posted 23 December, 2016 Posted 23 December, 2016 Think we may have already made our first signing. Pretty big money. "First"? So, we're signing more than 1 player in January...?
Matthew Le God Posted 23 December, 2016 Posted 23 December, 2016 Think we may have already made our first signing. Pretty big money. Bigger than the Boufal deal and a new club record?
CB Fry Posted 23 December, 2016 Posted 23 December, 2016 Think we may have already made our first signing. Pretty big money. Please God let's hope we've spent about eighteen million quid on a central defensive midfielder because apparently that's what we desperately need now.
Heisenberg Posted 23 December, 2016 Posted 23 December, 2016 Would ve sensible to spend the money we will receive for VVD as prices will go up once we accept £40m from Man C
CB Fry Posted 23 December, 2016 Posted 23 December, 2016 Actually I think and hope it's that Portuguese central defender. Samedo or whatever his name is.
Dusic Posted 23 December, 2016 Posted 23 December, 2016 Actually I think and hope it's that Portuguese central defender. Samedo or whatever his name is. With a €45m buyout and Sporting wanting near that he would be pricy. You never know but seems a lot for a Jan buy. http://sportwitness.co.uk/ruben-semedo-southamton/
saintgeorge8 Posted 24 December, 2016 Posted 24 December, 2016 LeG is such a tease... Anymore clues? ?
Convict Colony Posted 24 December, 2016 Posted 24 December, 2016 What do we reckon Ben Arfa coming on loan with an option to buy in the summer now PSG have Draxler coming ?
SuperSAINT Posted 24 December, 2016 Author Posted 24 December, 2016 What do we reckon Ben Arfa coming on loan with an option to buy in the summer now PSG have Draxler coming ? Would certainly cover the Boufal January void.
Saint Garrett Posted 24 December, 2016 Posted 24 December, 2016 Gabbiadini? €18m+2m bonus is in the press
Dusic Posted 24 December, 2016 Posted 24 December, 2016 Gabbiadini? €18m+2m bonus is in the press Can only find an Everton link.
SuperSAINT Posted 24 December, 2016 Author Posted 24 December, 2016 I don't mean to be, but in this case, I'd like to know more first. Believe it's a CB though. VVD not going in Jan. Trying to think of Centre-backs we have been linked with recently... - Wimmer - Schar - Semedo - Wague
Saint Garrett Posted 24 December, 2016 Posted 24 December, 2016 I don't mean to be, but in this case, I'd like to know more first. Believe it's a CB though. VVD not going in Jan. Fonte is then ?!
SuperSAINT Posted 24 December, 2016 Author Posted 24 December, 2016 Fonte is then ?! Sam Wallace & Jeremy Wilson have both pretty much said he can go if we get a high enough offer. £13m. (So basically anything around £10m).
Chris27687 Posted 24 December, 2016 Posted 24 December, 2016 Trying to think of Centre-backs we have been linked with recently... - Wimmer - Schar - Semedo - Wague Hopefully it's Semedo - we seem to have scouted him for ages.
SuperSAINT Posted 24 December, 2016 Author Posted 24 December, 2016 Hopefully it's Semedo - we seem to have scouted him for ages. Then we can a real life FM tactic of getting Semedo to base his game on & learn from Virgil for 6 months
Turkish Posted 25 December, 2016 Posted 25 December, 2016 Can only find an Everton link. http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/napoli-wolfsburg-and-southampton-after-gabbiadini Says us or Wolfsburg are his likely destination.
Weston Saint Posted 25 December, 2016 Posted 25 December, 2016 Daniel Neilson age 20? I know nothing about him but have it on good authority he will sign in January Anyone know who he is?
simo Posted 25 December, 2016 Posted 25 December, 2016 Daniel Neilson age 20? I know nothing about him but have it on good authority he will sign in January Anyone know who he is? You have either spelt his name wrong or your authority isn't that good as the only 20 year old Daniel NIELSON I can find is an aussie rules player !? The other is a freestyle footballer

The other is a freestyle footballer Ok it is Daniel Nilsen. 20 year old. No club, plays football "freestyle" in Norway. Did play for Rosenberg but bought out his contract. Clearly one for the development team, not first team.
CB Fry Posted 25 December, 2016 Posted 25 December, 2016 (edited) Ok it is Daniel Nilsen. 20 year old. No club, plays football "freestyle" in Norway. Did play for Rosenberg but bought out his contract. Clearly one for the development team, not first team. Sounds like a Simon Clifford type signing. Is "freestyle" football like doing keepy-uppies while sliding down a stair rail in a shopping precinct or hopping round the edge of a city centre fountain? Edited 25 December, 2016 by CB Fry

Badger Posted 26 December, 2016 Posted 26 December, 2016 Would make us a fortune in shirt sales per-letter. I recall us being linked with him before. Yes - he was linked as a left back. Don't think we'd need him for this but the article says also plays as a CB.

Ben Arfa along with Kyrchowiak are the lowest paid in the PSG team on 85K a week Plea is on 8.5K a week !!! Cyprien is on 6.5K a week!! Some random ones: Balotelli 90K a week Lacazette is on 75K a week Fekir is on 70K a week Couldn't find his salary but I have seen via whoscored etc Thomas Lemar 21 AM for Monaco looks like he is having a great season https://www.whoscored.com/Players/132962

the french scout Posted 27 December, 2016 Posted 27 December, 2016 There are rumors about Bayern wanting him for about 40M €. I'm sorry but I think there isn't any chance he could sign for Southampton.

S-Clarke Posted 28 December, 2016 Posted 28 December, 2016 That's crazy. What on earth did Rudy Gestede do last year (or this year to the point) that has warranted another big money move back to the PL?
Window Cleaner Posted 28 December, 2016 Posted 28 December, 2016 That's crazy. What on earth did Rudy Gestede do last year (or this year to the point) that has warranted another big money move back to the PL? 6.5 million is about the price of a PL tea lady in our day and age.
