SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 14 July, 2015 Share Posted 14 July, 2015 I don't know if I should be posting this as a separate thread, nor how reliable this is... nor do I understand why he has not posted this himself as I believe he is a regular poster on this forum(!!).. but I see that Connor Armstrong is reporting that we are in discussions with Atletico Madrid about the possibility of signing Mario Suarez: https://twitter.com/ConnorArmstrong/status/621086005232304128 I also see that this has also been reported on some dodgy looking rumour sites in Spain. For example, this one: http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://www.todomercadoweb.es/primer-plano/atletico-mario-suarez-cerca-del-southampton-133693&prev=search Anyway, I thought I'd post it anyway. I will let Connor tell us more if there is any more to be known! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will let Connor tell us more if there is any more to be known! As I tweeted, it's being reported in Italy and Spain - by MediaSet, TuttoMercato and Sky Italia's chief reporter, Gianluca Di Marzio. Saw it flash up on the actual websites, but didn't see it tweeted by them at the time, so flagged the reports up. I can't claim to know anything about this deal, although it seems pretty exciting on the face of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Scott Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 As mouth watering as a midfield three of Wanyama, Clasie and Suarez sounds I can't see this one being a starter. Juanmi following him IMO is nothing but a coincidence and according to TMR his wage is around £55k a week. Even if we were to chase Suarez the media exposure on the deal would only end up with a champions league club swooping in and taking any deal to us off the cards. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

Good player, although on the face of it not a very typical Saints signing as 29 in Feb so no real sell on value.

jasonb Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 By the sounds of it everything re Toby deal ended up very amicable between us and Atletico. They will take our millions if a deal is on don't worry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good player, although on the face of it not a very typical Saints signing as 29 in Feb so no real sell on value. We signed Pelle three days shy of his 29th Birthday for a large sum and that didn't work out too bad. Edited 15 July, 2015 by Saint Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 I like the conspiracy theory. Maybe, spurs actually signed suarez, and alderweireld is still at madrid?

sadoldgit Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 From what I read Les had not problems with Athletico and it is only when the player himself decided to join Spurs instead that we had problems. He was very complimentary about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Chalet Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 I read on one of the Spurs sites that he has a buyout clause of around £8m.
