saint-ross Posted 30 December, 2017 Share Posted 30 December, 2017 Anyone who thinks Balotelli is the answer seriously needs their head examining! Have you not followed the guy over the past 5 years? In the words of Nigel Pearson - 'Are you an ostrich? Have you had your head in the sand....?' Seriously, no more nutters please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-Fred Posted 30 December, 2017 Share Posted 30 December, 2017 Anyone who thinks Balotelli is the answer seriously needs their head examining! Have you not followed the guy over the past 5 years? In the words of Nigel Pearson - 'Are you an ostrich? Have you had your head in the sand....?' Seriously, no more nutters please. Lol do you think anyone actually thinks we are signing him, or any other of the names mentioned? When was the last time we signed a "household" name? People are just enjoying the speculation until we actually announce someone who is a squad player somewhere else who has potential to be much better (Lemina, Gabbi etc). Kat didn't decide transfer policy and The new owner , as far as I am aware, isn't taking an active role, especially in recruitment of players so the the policy won't have changed over night!

Chewy Posted 30 December, 2017 Share Posted 30 December, 2017 So, a) a back up right back is the priority and b) you think a ranger's defender is better than european championship winning cedric? When are people going to realise that having half the squad off form doesn't make them rubbish. VVD was useless this season. That doesn't make him a bad player. Romeu is rubbish this season. Nearly everyone is underperforming. We can replace them all with new signings who aren't as good, or we can actually hire a proper manager. A) where did I say it was a priority and b) did you read my following posts. Was more of a general chat. Better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you're a fool than ...

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 30 December, 2017 Share Posted 30 December, 2017 I wonder if Mr Gao's arrival will herald a change of approach?

Sounds like it could be this bloke: http://readsouthampton.com/2017/12/31/southampton-linked-rennes-defender-ramy-bensebaini/ Ramy Bensebaini as the article states is a left sided centre back, which makes me doubt this rumour is true. Hoedt was brought in for that role, if we do sign another centre back I think it is more likely to partner Hoedt and play on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 31 December, 2017 Share Posted 31 December, 2017 Let’s see if he’s in the Arsenal squad later. The problem I see with the Twitter ITK is that he says Walcott is now a Southampton player. Announced before end of next week or even as early as Monday. 100% done. If we signed him, why on earth would we not announce it straight away? Monday - OK as that is 1st Jan. Before the end of next week makes no sense at all.

Saint Albert Posted 31 December, 2017 Share Posted 31 December, 2017 I suppose the club see a bargain in Balotelli considering he only has 6 months left on his contract, but surely Balotelli is a non-starter, if not for character issues (there is a theory that he’s matured since becoming a parent), then for the Nice president’s comments about such a move being “impossible” and “unimaginable”.

miserableoldgit Posted 31 December, 2017 Share Posted 31 December, 2017 I don't quite get this...someone who may or may not be ITK posts something on an internet forum which may or may not be true. I find it quite annoying when someone pretends to be something that they are not for whatever reason but I can't be bothered enough to rebuke or bait them because it just isn't worth wasting my time getting involved....and it drives any genuine ITKs away....I just accept their "information" and see if it's true....if it's not then big deal....
