S-Clarke

A little bit of info from a Romanian guy I've randomly known for a while. very good player, surprised not more offers at that price. Better than vlad. He was tracked by Manchester clubs not so long ago. He is a perfect fit for the premier league due to his style. Very similar to Lovren.

Yes, until that. Wonder where it's gone though? Is it at the Emirates, or White Hart lane? Think we need to start an investigation of the missing head.

Not entirely sure what he wants? Is he going to give us the extra £15m we need? Because we're not going to give you away Morgan, it doesn't actually work like that. If Spurs don't have the money, and Arsenal don't want you, then get your head down or ruin your career. 2 options. What a bunch of precious individuals we had/have at this club. Corteses reign was built on a pyramid of plastic cups.

It's a good news day.

I think he's an absolute shoe in for a PL CB, very aggressive, no fear...body on the line sort of player. Very highly rated over there, same sort of level as of Vlad - but more physical so they say. (one of the reasons Vlad struggled a bit)

Not sure what this changes, really. I'm sure Forster still has a valuation and if we meet that valuation he will be coming here. You couldn't make it up though, pure pantomime transfer drama!

Why not answer the genuine questions that have been put to you, if you really want to be believed.

I cannot recall a time this poster has ever been right.

I hope you've given the club a £90m transfer budget.

Guly? (in squad terms).

Not seen these posted as yet, but this is direct from our friend Ralf. Krueger told the Daily Echo: “Saphir is an exciting prospect. He’s multi-dimensional and there’s a lot of opportunity in him. “He’s at an age that fits in with the Southampton situation at present. I think he’s somebody that we can really bring to another level.”

Always liked Reina, he's retiring way too early.

Hold your horses, the hold ups in the Tadier deal have apparently been caused by Osvaldo's/Inters end.

The studio guys did themselves no favours at all there, before you go into an interview it's sometimes good to do some research on the topic. HTH.

He never actually says anything, does he? King of waffle.

Get the impression this is a pre-record.

I'm assuming you've worked out it's a joke article.

Hate reading what I've read on twitter, he's being totally disrespected by his 'own' fans. I know he had times here where he wasn't effective, but you've got bear with him. I do have a funny feeling though that with us and Lambert it was a case of right place, right time. I cannot see him having a similar impact elsewhere, and I could see him back here on loan in a season or so.

Because we could then be in the NPC and neither would want to join us.

Not entirely sure I'd put myself in the 'excited' camp for a loan deal, after what he waffled last week about being given the green light to invest £70m!, but it's a start! And a good player tbf.

What are you on about? Did you miss his debut against Brighton?

I don't think he's that good tbh. I hope we sign 2 CB's and Yoshida becomes the 4th choice.

He was on our list before this window, so I think the club have just looked at this as an opportunity to 'acquire' him in a different sort of deal. I think he's a good player, one I'm looking forward to watching, and one I feel will add some real competition to the entire midfield area. I'll be honest though, I'm a little concerned that we've lost a fair few deals in the last few weeks. Mid-week last week we had 'club sources' saying they hoped to sign 2/3 players by the end of the week, and that was after Bertrand. And then we had Koeman saying he hopes to get 2/3 over the line at the weekend.....and our ITK sources on here saying it will likely be Monday though. But we're now into Tuesday and we've not even confirmed Taider yet....and that's a pretty straight forward one in terms of financial outlay! I'm a little bit nervous, but I'm just hoping the slowness is down to this time of year......and not that we're just missing out on the deals we want. I hope and pray the Samaras one is nothing but waffle, as this wouldn't help cure my fears....

We probably need 2, to be honest. As has been mentioned, I'd have had a new CB on my shopping list even before Lovren was sold. Got a feeling the club will just get one and be done with it though, so we'll be in the same position as last year - and seriously hoping that the new CB is of a decent standard.

I think he did say that, actually. Way back before anyone left.....he gave the interview outside one of the directors boxes @ SMS iirc. So, based on the other output from that interview, I'm not quite sure I'll believe him on that point just yet...
