Saints Transfers Thread - Deadline Day

Yeah, I think we've outbid Anderlecht for him but we need to offer more. Might be wrong though.

 

Shirt no 12 is free, though...

I guess they want him to replace Praet. Small world.

Linked with Notts Forest's Oliver Burke (Via The Sun):

(Not sure how he fits in as he's an out-and-out wide-man, but looks a huge talent).

He's a quality player.

I've only seen a little bit of him, but I'd be tempted to make a move based on what I've seen. Looks quick, powerful & direct.

Sounds like exactly the sort of player we'd sign to be honest, development potential and raw ability - would probably only initially be a squad player, but could develop into a star.

Nottingham Forest or Notts County. Sorry to be 'picky' but I'm sure us Saints fans wouldn't like the name Southingham.

Corrected my post, Norm. Just for you.

Should have signed him last January (HCDAJFU) and saved ourselves a few bob. It was obvious to anyone that watched him that he was a talent. Sadly even the likes of the of the scousers have him on their radar.

I've seen him quite a bit and can say, although not the finished article, he would pose a threat straight away, if not perhaps the final ball or finish. He has great pace and is very direct. He wasn't short on confidence last season, but at the moment he's off the scale taking on anyone and everyone. He's also bulked out a fair bit since last season, which makes me think he might be effective immediately.

Having said all that he doesn't feel like our kind of signing.

Straight replacement for Mane. Can't be long before we return to two wide men...

I don't know why, but I've always like signing Championship players and it's something we don't do enough of. I don't have my nerdy spreadsheet to hand, but who were our last signings from there?

J-Rod & Clyney?

I guess you could class Redmond....kinda. I just get the sense the club is going back down the route of young, english talent where possible.

Damn it, I'll give you the Redmond one. Hopefully Scottish in Burke's case too

Reckon we'll sign Stanciu and Haller, Fonte will stay and Jay will go out on a year's loan.

The forest forum reckons a host of teams want Burke and he will go to the highest bidder. Circa £15m

Liverpool / Arsenal / Sunderland all mentioned.

Stanciu does sound like one we'll do to be honest, can see that happening. Haller is certainly a unit and would be a great focal point for us.

If he's got any sense he'll take a sensible step up to join a club that has a track record of developing players for elite level clubs and Liverpool.

There's a fair few misses in that lot though!

Hope we can beat Newcastle to the signing of Haller. He is the marquee signing we need right now.

If we can get Hal Robson-Kanu in too I will be delighted and sure most will agree it's been a very decent summer of transfers

I'm happy to use the second of my three posts, just to say thank you

We shouldn't be paying £15m. Look how much Hojbjerg cost.

Robson-Kanu would be a statement of intent

Like the look of Stancu, only a youtube of course AND only Romanian league but size aside (though he looks like a stocky player that can take a knock or two) scoring with both feet, long range, free kicks, dribbling, looks a promising talent.

Jay Rod and Clyne, but also remember Spurs got Bale of us from the Championship, Walcott and the OX as well did all right from the lower leagues.

Not to mention Deli Alli.

Plenty of talent there, especially as it's a hard league.

Please stick to the thread and stop taking the p*ss or I will remove you for the rest of the window.

Your sarcasm is both boring and draining.

Marko Rog (Dinamo Zagreb) who we supposedly had a bid rejected for is signing for Napoli this week. Another one to cross off the list.

No surprise that as the window is closing more & more of these players being crossed off the list.

Interesting how the Boufal whispers have died down. Very little in the French media about him, whereas weeks ago we were getting daily updates about him going to various clubs.

AR10 just posted this on the Fonte thread:

There has been NO bid from Manchester United or any other club for Jose Fonte at this point in time

and neither is there expected to be.

 

I realise there are 2 threads running so I'll inlcude this one here and that is I'm led to believe that the club have virtually completed one signing

and are in advanced stages on a 2nd, nothing I have seen suggests there will be 3 signings coming into the club.

 

Keep in mind, the transfer window is coming to an end and the usual paper trash /agent spin will be heightened.

Says our opening bid is 4m euros, but Lille want 20m euros. However negotiations are ongiong. Also says we are negotiating concurrently with Ghezzal so it is probably a matter of either/or.

Surely a typo/poor translation, as that's one hell of a gap...!!

Interestingly, Boufal didn't feature at the weekend for Lille and he doesn't appear to be injured at the moment from what I can tell.

Yeah he's injured, pretty sure. Back mid-September at some point.

Bad translation, it's 14m euros.

4m Euros?!?!? (Ah! just seen the above) - Well we seem to be sowing our seeds across Europe with Boufal / Stanciu / Ghezzal

Guessing it's one from 3?

Surely a typo/poor translation, as that's one hell of a gap...!!

yeah, it was. Was reading the online translation, but the article clearly says quatorze before translation so our opening bid was 14m euros.

The perils of google translate.

I feel like two from 3 if Rodriguez is going.

You could be right.

- Stanciu & Boufal are genuine No.10's.

- Ghezzal is more of a winger. Left sided, but has been playing on the right.

Boufal and Haller would probably be my best case scenario. Or Boufal and Ghezzal if we're going to go back to the 4231.

Says our opening bid is 4m euros, but Lille want 20m euros. However negotiations are ongiong. Also says we are negotiating concurrently with Ghezzal so it is probably a matter of either/or.

Actually €14m not €4m but they want around €20m. All 'according to an English source'. I wonder who that could be?

Ghezzal is too slow. Bad signing. Let him go to Everton.

This is not a Saints signing.

Boufal

As Youtubes go, that is sh*te.

Yeh. He's no Shteve.

Or maybe he's just had enough of season after season we to tend sell 3/4 key players must have an influence on his thought process

Do you think he was gutted at finishing 7th and 6th the last two seasons as well?

Mate took this at Southampton Airport this evening, reckons it's Boufal. I'm not convinced.
