S-Clarke

I like this...

Yeah, wouldn't expect him him to come in via Gatwick, and to also spend a 2 hour journey to get to Verona airport - rather than wait for a slightly later flight from Bolonga. Let's be honest, he wouldn't travel on a public commercial flight. He would have some sort of private exec jet lined up, to get him over here to Soton airport ASAP.

He's spat his dummy out and is refusing to train with Bolonga. He is now no longer in their squad for the weekends games. Something is imminent, but who knows what.

http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=724855 - first I've heard of that?

14m for Fletcher, holy ****.

tbf he's probably just heard that from exactly the same places as us. Let's not hang off every word he says.

Doubtful tbh.

Must be unhappy because he's not been playing. Oh.

What's that based on exactly?

On twitter at the mo, but we've been linked with him for a while so wouldn't be surprised if we followed it up.

People are also forgetting that the Spurs deal already fell through, they've obviously made their terms clear.

Offering him a contract as attractive as ours? His agent will know what we've offered, and what we guarantee him in terms of first team football. I really don't think it's as easy as some are suggesting, this isn't a straight forward deal what with the third party complications - and the fact that he's already agreed terms with us. That in it's self is enough to scare clubs off.

No idea, but It'll probably pep up later when they printed versions of the articles arrive online

Can't see spurs offering more than us though, what we've offered seems the going rate for him in reality. Levy is a pretty hard negotiator himself, so I can't see him letting them walk all over Spurs with their demands. Probably why the move there didn't materialize in the first place.

It's picking up. French papers are reporting Southampton have had an €8m bid accepted by Rennes for Jean Armel-Kana Biyik. More as this develops.

Yes please....

http://blackpoolfc.co.uk/ - that's a hell of alot worse, what have they done???

I honestly don't have a massive problem with it as I've got a 100mb connection. But I think people with slower internet connections will feel the strain though, it's a very heavy site. Designed with ''superfast broadband'' in mind..!

I didn't think we were? Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a transfer discussion thread. Therefore any rumours of players linked to us can get discussed on here.

Their owners are morons. Everyone is tipping them to be fine, oh how I'd love to see them drop into the mire.

West Ham complete the signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Matt Jarvis in a deal worth up to £10.75m. Good player, but come on. Almost 11m?? Gaston will cost us tops £12m Why did WHU not baulk at that??

We're playing it right. Wait for them to blink, which they will, as they'll need some sort of money from him by the end of the window.

Good shout, would agree with that.

Well, it can't run for much longer. There's only a week left for this to run. Lots and lots will happen next week IMO. Quite exciting I guess, I always like deadline business.

I think he said that before he was linked with us as well. He didn't want to be ''another'' player, he wants to be a ''leader'' in the team. Although if Spurs sell RdV then there is a first team opening for him, but time is running out for them. We've already done the hard work.
