pangy

Eto'o available for around £5 mill,would be a cracking signing,only problem is his £350k a week wages

If we signed Lamela and Osvaldo you would be looking at near on £50 mill

Hopefully Rickie can show that he has a lot to his game,he is someone that you could put on when chasing a game and you need to play with a bit more urgrency (long ball),Crouchy had a great record for England and he was nowhere near as mobile as Rickie. This is the first non competition England game in years I will watch tomorrow

Seem to be some serious discrepancies in reports I Wolfsburg offered £17 mill we wouldn't offer £8 mil. Doesn't make sense

This sounds like it has some legs in it

If we are to beat the offer from Wolfsburg at £2.8mil a year we would be offering him £60k a week !! I wonder if any of our players have a clause in the contract to match the wage of any player coming in higher than them??

I still doubt he will come to us,Liverpool seem to be keen on throwing £20 mill at a fwd and I see Costas turned them down last week,wouldn't surprise me if they got involved at some point. Would love this to happen but I feel it may be one season to early to start attracting this calibre of player.of course I am more than happy to be proven wrong

Just watched the highlights,we looked very shaky at the back they really should not of scored any of the 3 goals that they did

The club will tell you nothing just that he is injured and unavailable

Is Fox still suspended ? or did he do the 3 match ban for the straight red at the end of last season

Even if he doesnt get on the pitch it will give him a extra lift for the start of the season,knowing if he works hard the door is not shut for a International call up

I am more likely to get a call up,Hodgson was such a poor choice yet another manager that is afraid to pick players in form from "lesser" teams

Looks like the master of the tap in.

Wellbeck scored more last season........Oh wait It would seem if you play for a top 4 team no matter what form you are carrying you are a automatic shoe in for a England place. Didnt Rodwell even get a game for England last season?

By the looks of it,its time to shut this thread down.

Southampton fc would like to congratulate Guly do Prado on his call up to the brazil national team

Never confirmed but apparently he turned us down.........twice !!!

Took the wife to see Saints play when she was released from Hospital after going into early labour with our twin girls We lost as well

This good enough? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2372561/Jose-Mourinho-admits-Romelu-Lukaku-leads-line-Chelsea-season.html

Spain won the euros that way,pretty much played 6 midfielders

Take your pick https://www.google.com/search?q=mourinho+lukaku&rlz=1C1CHFX_en-gbGG486GG486&oq=mourinho+lukaku&aqs=chrome.0.69i57j0l3j69i62l2.3139j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

I never said he was a world class Striker,I said give him a few seasons in that Chelsea team and he will be World class. Mourinho didnt sign him but he has come out and said that Lukaku is likely to be leading the line this season,and that De Bruyne and Lukaku are going nowhere this season.

I bet they would considering they signed him for £17 mill (with add ons) He is very young and looks very much like a player that fits the Drogba mould,give him a season or two in a team like Chelsea and the guy will be world class,he will be unplayable like Drogba was in his prime. With the prices being thrown around for Bale/Suarez I would imagine every forwards price has gone up by 20% £30 mill + and they may sell you Lukaku

Even if they sign Rooney they only have Ba,Torres and Lukaku,Schurle is a winger/inside fwd. If anyone leaves Chelsea it will be Ba,and I will be surprised if they could shift him as his wages will be ridic
