Saint Garrett

Transfer soap around Alexander Büttner gets a sequel. Southampton undertake a new attempt the 23-year-old left back to take away at Vitesse. Büttner in Arnhem banished to the promises after a conflict over a transfer. His attempt by an arbitration case his exile to undo and a limited ransom to get failed Wednesday. On all fronts, he was unsuccessful. But there is hope for a solution to the impasse Southampton as a new bid has deposited with Vitesse. A transition to The Saints bounced off a month ago on the requirement of Büttner an additional fee where all the parties to a settlement had been reached. Photo: VI Images

Could see Punch being used in a swap with Phillips. Although like you say, he's played a lot in pre season.

Get Ramirez, Phillips, Buttner and Dann and I'd be a very happy bunny !

Don't know why more clubs dont just follow Newcastles scouts around. Get some awesome deals done. Ba, Cisse, Tiote, Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Anita,

Good. bleed them w*nkers dry.

I think the main problem though, is that we're lacking at CB. Jos will be decent I reckon but get caught out by pace, Fonte is good but switches off at times and struggled against any pace last year. Our third choice CB has gone on loan to Palace, and our 4th struggled in L1. Our 5th is 17 and never played competitvely. I know its a bit of an ongoing joke that we need a CB on here, but we really do. Just someone with that bit of experience in the Prem, solid and also gives us an option if god forbid one of Fonte and Hooiveld gets injured. We shouldn't be going into the season with Seaborne, Cork or Schneiderlin as our only back ups at CB. 2 weeks left of the transfer window, I'm certain that this gap will be filled.

They're normally superb in this respect. Usually if you order before 4pm you get them the next day.

It may have been after we had signed Gazzanigga...I can't remember. Or maybe he said 1 or 2 CB's rather than players. Either way I'm pretty sure he had said they'd be more players in by City than there is.

Pretty sure he said he's looking to have 1 or 2 in by man city and a few more between tehn and the end of the season. Think it was just before we signed Clyne.

Sounds like he has information on a deal regarding Ramirez, whether that it us or someone else remains to be seen...

I would read it as...he's interested but we need to strike a deal with Bologna...still can't see it happening though

What about me? Harsh

Shame

Well yes but I can see 1 of Guly/Punch/New playing RM. Why would we be after a RM if J-Rod was bought to play there anyway?

Don't think we can loan anyone after the window closes either in the Prem. Would have thought we can update the squad numbers as we go. As long as whoever in the squad has a number and noone else is that number? MLG ?

Can certainly see him playing where J-Rod has been....but does make you wonder where J-Rod would play, if at all. Can't imagine us playing Lee/Lambert/J-Rod/Lallana

And scored...

It's a bit like when WHU tried to get Tevez and Torres on loan last season. Just makes them look a joke.

Just come on for the last 20 minutes.

3-2 Brighton, surely we should be losing with that team out !?

Was very good in the Euros. Thought he's signed for someone though !? EDIT: I'm thinking of Selassie.

Tadanari is on the bench for the U-21s today against Brighton.

It only states he's meeting with his agent. Could it be possible that it is for a different client of his ?

Atleast it's a rumour despite how farfetched it is !

Pick ME ! Pick ME !
