Lighthouse Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 They may not, but we have a self enforced budget that we won't be going over. His last club was Juve and he's getting towards the end of his career so more than possible he's demanding upwards of £100k a week on a long deal. According to one of those Italian journos, he was demanding half of that. In reality, he can demand whatever he wants, he isn't going to get much more than £50k off anyone with his recent history. He will go to the highest bidder.

Saint IQ Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 I think we are definitely better than Milan. Not at defending without VVD and Fonte. We need one in and it's the worst most complacent window since 2009 that I can remember seeing as we so clearly desperately needed a centre back. If Yoshida gets injured we have 2 players with a handful of Prem appearances one of which has been out for pretty much 2 years. If this guy can get fit it's better than having no more options.
benjii Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 He was a very good player but he has been crippled by injuries, is semi-retired and would fail a medical at most clubs ( but not Southampton). However, in the event we can get him fit enough to play a few games before he needs treatment again, and he still has full mobility, he should improve our defence. The fact that he crashed his Ferrari into a bus stop whilst drunk at the wheel suggests he hasn't been taking very good care of himself though. It will be surprising if he is anywhere near fit enough as the last time he was able to play was more than a year ago. This is what happened to his career before he stopped playing: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/martin-caceres/leistungsdaten/spieler/54935/plus/0?saison=2015 http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/martin-caceres/leistungsdaten/spieler/54935/plus/0?saison=2014 Until he's driven ****ed from one side of London Road to the other to get a kebab he has a long way to go in terms of SFC drunk antics.
benjii Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Signed, was shown round the training ground this afternoon Work permit?!
Dalek2003 Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Hope the rumours that he has signed are true. At last an outbreak of sanity.
Nolan Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Work permit?! Should easily pass the 'internationally established at the highest level' test, surely.
trousers Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Announcement later. Cheers for info Manji. By "later" do you mean "later tonight" or "later this week"?
danjosaint Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Should easily pass the 'internationally established at the highest level' test, surely. No because he hasn't played 30% of Uruguays recent games
saint_stevo Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Looking at your recent posts I very much doubt you know anything about this so won't get excited just yet. Haven't posted in months!!?
Wimborne_saint Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 No one posted this earlier but the always reliable Simon Peach tweeted this earlier Simon Peach @SimonPeach @kelvinlegod Caceres is indeed being worked on. Not done yet -

Saint Albert Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 No because he hasn't played 30% of Uruguays recent games You'd hope that the reviewers won't take a mechanical "rules is rules" approach and instead note that it is impossible to play internationally when recovering from a long-term achilles injury.
Saint-Fred Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Uruguayan journalist tweeted half an our ago: "Martin Caceres will have his medical with @SouthamptonFC in a couple of minutes. He reached an economic agreement with the club yesterday". This would be excellent news if true. We are desperate and if Milan wanted him/were willing to give him a go he can't be too far off the pace..even if he is it's not like we have any better options at present. Good old black box..always comes up trumps!
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 He's pretty good, or certainly was before his injury. I'd be happy with this for sure.
manji Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Cheers for info Manji. By "later" do you mean "later tonight" or "later this week"? Tonight or tomorrow morning. Doesn't matter we have got him. I know some of the old timers on here aren't keen on me but I have never been an ITK'er. Before.

Katalinic Posted 6 February, 2017 Author Posted 6 February, 2017 Good stuff. Let's hope we can get him fit asap.
St Chalet Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 This is the equivalent of going to a nightclub and pulling at 2am. I wonder what she'll look like in the morning and what we've promised her! Personally hope she's a stunner that we'll get a few trouble free years out of her.
manji Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Im no bedwetter (although I think I might have started the phrase on here) but I am really fuc=ed off with the way Les Reed has handled things recently. Fonte didnt want to go (alright I'm ITK'ing) and was being groomed to be a future manager. Something isn't right. I actually feel sorry for Puel.

Surely it would have been by someone in the club that had Les reeds blessing? Sorry that doesn't make sense to me. Fonte went because it suited him - why stick in a transfer request?
angelman Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Two sides to every story, so while you maybe ITK...... He had a contract signed until June 2018. If he wanted to stay, then he could have, come what may, as contracts are legally binding although players seem to not think so.
CB Fry Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Groomed by who exactly? Surely it would have been by someone in the club that had Les reeds blessing? Sorry that doesn't make sense to me. Fonte went because it suited him - why stick in a transfer request? Indeed, it doesn't make sense. If he was being groomed to be a future manager and he didn't want to go, why did we sell him? Especially when you add in the repeated rumour that his agent was advising him to stay. So based on this info that'll be all three parties - Club, Agent, Player - all want him to stay. But we accepted a fee and the player went. How does that work?

Lord Duckhunter Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 From what I have been told his agent wanted him to stay. Adam Blackmore said this weeks ago on the radio Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Alain Perrin Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 It only makes sense to those with an anti-Reed agenda. Bottom line is the club screwed up on the CB situation but to suggest that Fonte wanted to stay does not add up for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Colinjb Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 A player with top level experience on a free transfer. Regardless of the circumstances, this is a very sensible signing. Could be a bargain.
Portugalsaint Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Anyway, we digress.......Sr Caceres any further info? Is his Ferrari a cut and shut now? Is he still a drinking? We don't have a lot of luck with South Americans ....

Dark Munster Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 A player with top level experience on a free transfer. Regardless of the circumstances, this is a very sensible signing. Could be a bargain. I'm sure wages and signing on fee will be steep. Having said that, if he's the difference between staying up or going down he'll be a bargain at any price.

Having said that, if he's the difference between staying up or going down he'll be a bargain at any price. Can't see them being any higher than Fonte's wages. I don't know how big signing on fees are these days but for a man with fitness issues who's been out of contract for a while, I can't see it being extortionate.
angelman Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 I'm sure wages and signing on fee will be steep. Having said that, if he's the difference between staying up or going down he'll be a bargain at any price. Half the price of Sakho?

SNSUN Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 For anyone into that sort of thing, there's a picture of Caceres's willy on the Holmesdale Palace forum. It's not what I was expecting when I clicked on the thread...
Toadhall Saint Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Or you get her home, it turns out to be a man in drag, and he rapes you screaming in the ass. There speaks a man of experience [emoji6]

I know some of the old timers on here aren't keen on me but I have never been an ITK'er. Before. Excellent. Sounds like we might get lucky and have signed a gem, if we can get him match fit quickly.
rickylambert Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 No 10pm announcement...Will be announced tommorow then I'd imagine.
