Katalinic Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Turned down Milan, heading for England: http://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/milan-caceres-dice-no-allofferta-rossonera-le-ultimissime Di Marzio is well connected and mentions Saints.
Crab Lungs Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Christ, god knows why he'd want to join this sh1tstorm
S-Clarke Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Should have been done long before now.......but at least it's an experienced international head at the back, if it happens.
Pilchards Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Save our season Les you utter bell-chop Love the words 'Utter bell-chop.' If only Reed could pull this one out of the bag as it will potential cost us 100m if we went down.
Saint_Ash Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Get him in with the promise of a place in the cup final and a million bonus if we win it.
Donatello Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 (edited) Always part of the plan/transfer strategy, I'm sure Lord knows what his wages would be...wasn't there talk that he wanted 100k per week when discussing terms with other clubs in the summer? I don't disagree that we should pay that, because we should now, we're desperate, but it sort of makes a mockery of the Jack Schmitt claim that we baulked at prices rises for three players (in as much that we're now likely to pay premiums anyway....just not for/on our preferred targets).

Saint Garrett Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 We are desperate and this is what desperate cluvbs have to do. Whats the chances we get outbid by Sunderland....!?
Pilchards Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 We are desperate and this is what desperate cluvbs have to do. Whats the chances we get outbid by Sunderland....!? With Sam Alladarce and dodgy payments under the table..... most likely them.
S-Clarke Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 With Sam Alladarce and dodgy payments under the table..... most likely them. What's Allardyce got to do with them?
Matthew Le God Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 We are desperate and this is what desperate cluvbs have to do. Whats the chances we get outbid by Sunderland....!? With Sam Alladarce and dodgy payments under the table..... most likely them. Football really is in a mess if the current Crystal Palace manger would make payments under the table to help Sunderland sign a player!!!
BotleySaint Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Would be a gamble but can anyone seriously see this happening if he turned down Milan? Surely off to China.
Pilchards Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 What's Allardyce got to do with them? Ha ha he's left now oops
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Had a trial and failed to impress at Palace a few days ago apparently.
Pilchards Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Football really is in a mess if the current Crystal Palace manger would make payments under the table to help Sunderland sign a player!!! (Smiles) my mistake as he left ages ago.
BotleySaint Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Had a trial and failed to impress at Palace a few days ago apparently. South Coast air is different
Matthew Le God Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 (Smiles) my mistake as he left ages ago. He has also been the England manager since leaving Sunderland.
SKD Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Had a trial and failed to impress at Palace a few days ago apparently. Probably more that his wages failed to impress tbf
sydneysaint17 Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Sell the black box and use the cash to give him whatever he wants.
Dalek2003 Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 We are desperate and this is what desperate cluvbs have to do. Whats the chances we get outbid by Sunderland....!? For once we have to cough up and pay over the odds. We are in **** street.
Convict Colony Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Had a trial and failed to impress at Palace a few days ago apparently. Probably tried to play football from the back instead of lumping it
stevy777_x Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 In Jack Stephens last interview, at one stage he sort of says that he might become a permanent fixture in the side but hints that there is still a possibility that they bring someone in. Sounds like he knew like Saints were still looking to bring someone in and I was wondering why that was still possible? Now I know. I can't find the interview now but i think it was done on Friday. Can someone find it for me?
Convict Colony Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Watching this video I had to double check he was a defender, some great finishing If he played for Juventus in defence then he is good enough for us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3WdWf_Vnnk
Saint Garrett Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Seems to go to ground a lot.....did he play more as a RB at Juve than a CB?! or a RCB in a three?
Millbrook Saint Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 For once we have to cough up and pay over the odds. We are in **** street. Totally agree, this has to be sanctioned by the club/Kat, Les needs to be told that money is no object to get this across the line, we have a major cup final which should provide an incentive to any player. Once completed Les should be hauled up in front of Kat and be made to explain how he allowed this to happen and why the club has been forced down this path. The excuse that he couldn't get the 4 rumoured deals across the line on the last day is not valid, everyone knew we needed at least one centre back, back at the start of the season when Fonte was acting billy big ********, Les is paid to do this, if he isn't capable of completing deals then he shouldn't be in his role. Problem in all of this is the fact that I imagine Kat isn't very tuned in to the football business, as I imagine Les is the one she goes to for advice. If she were to decide he isn't performing to her satisfaction, does she have the contacts to find the right man to replace him. I can imagine Les likes to keep her away from this so he keeps his position safer.

AK Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 There was an article on The Ugly about him last week-it basically said it would be very difficult for him to get a work permit.
angelman Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 out of interest, would Palace want him given they have just got Sakho in?
Saint Garrett Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 There was an article on The Ugly about him last week-it basically said it would be very difficult for him to get a work permit. Can't imagine that would be the case, he's a seasoned international with excellent pedigree. Tadanari Lee got one FFS!
doddisalegend Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 out of interest, would Palace want him given they have just got Sakho in? Big Sam's famous 8-0-2 formation?

Plastic Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 We clearly need someone and this looks like the best option. Hope it happens.

Seems a well thought out piece to me. http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/southampton/news/44999/will-work-permit-issues-stop-saints-signing-defender-
Donatello Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Can't imagine that would be the case, he's a seasoned international with excellent pedigree. Tadanari Lee got one FFS! Hmm, Uruguay have played 24 matches within the last two years, and Caceres has played in 25% of those, which (by my estimation) would mean he would fail to automatically qualify for a permit. I'm sure MLG can clear it up though.
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Apparently so..... The article was dated 5 Feb so suggests not during the window to me
danjosaint Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 He hasn't played enough percentage of Uruguay games to qualify for permit
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 He hasn't played enough percentage of Uruguay games to qualify for permit Why did Palace give him a trial then?

Window Cleaner Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 He hasn't played enough percentage of Uruguay games to qualify for permit It may well depend on how many of those games he was actually available for selection. None too sure that injury spells count and he has had a whole lot of injuries these last years.
the wedge Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 He hasn't played enough percentage of Uruguay games to qualify for permit One of those ones that would probably go through on appeal.
Donatello Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 It may well depend on how many of those games he was actually available for selection. None too sure that injury spells count and he has had a whole lot of injuries these last years. I think they count initially, but are considered under the appeals process. Ultimately, I think it's fair to assume that it will go down to an appeals process. Hopefully it's a go though.
Lorne Malvo Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Surprised no one has said how Mexes seems to had failed a medical according to the article.
