Bewildered

£20m plus release clause? Huge fee for a full back.

no chance we're signing this *****

Tancredi palmeri was just on talksport, unfortunately he waffled on about Cavani to PSG then ran out of time before he could get to Damiao

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2356497/Southampton-interested-Leandro-Damiao-Ever-Banega.html Mail thinks Cardiff are ready to give up on Wanyama after Celtic rejected an 11m bid from them.

very, an aging anelka is a pretty **** poor replacement for lukaku

i'll write a quick summary when he's been on.

Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri 1m Stay tuned here, but also don't miss me live at 1.30am @talkSPORT @tsExtraTime : Cavani, Mancini and Leandro Damiao on the menu tancredi palmeri is going to talk about damiao on talksport later on tonight.

your right, maybe they collectively checked down the back of their sofas

pretty similar to the gaston transfer last summer, where penarol owned 30%

BBC reckon Leroy Fer will have a medical with Norwich next week, good signing for them. Seems the "also-ran" sides are making some good moves this summer.

Are the third party owners a different club or some kia joorbichan like agent? if it's the latter, agent fee may not be as much of an issue as they would get a chunk of the transfer fee.

can't blame him here to be honest given the subject at hand and that anything he says will be reprinted all over the world. doubt mp would want to get his words wrong and say something that could be misconstrued then quoted repeatedly in the nationwide press.

at 20-25m we probably are over paying considering that kind of money will get you a top class striker with an established goalscoring record in Europe.

imagine if these sisu ****s ad gotten their hands on saints. we'd be playing home games in ****ing basingstoke.

thats what i meant bear, osvaldo said no to us. these google jabber translations are often ****. why can't these foreigns speak in english, the world's language?

But apparently, Osvaldo said no

Banega - 8m Osvaldo - 17m stoch 5.5m wouldn't be too bad either.

not asking for the second coming of roberto carlos, just a decent LB who has a better (some) grasp of defending than danny fox. every other team in the PL managed to have 2 lbs better than fox last season with no problem whatsoever.

i'd like another, more competent left back to serve as cover for Shaw. one that could be put in the team is he needed a rest and not be a total liability. I wonder if Targett will have some kind of role next season.

BBC Solent Sport ‏@solentsport 29s >> #saintsfc Pochettinho continued on Banega Osvaldo & Damiao: "..but perhaps we don't have a place for all of them". Seems obvious we won't be signing Banega AND wanyama, or Osvaldo AND Damiao, either or situations.

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport 2m Pochettinho wouldn't be drawn on Banega, Damiao, or Osvaldo but said "they would all be really happy to come to Southampton".

yeah adkins would just give waffle about right players, improve the team, cards close to our chest etc etc and never confirmed or denied anything, though sometimes i wonder how much nige knew himself

glad MP is a bit more open with this stuff than adkins

http://forum.wyscout.com At the moment the club is being represented (by cortese? i'd guess so since he does all the deals) at the wyscout forum, some foreign conference in Barcelona for clubs, agents etc to network. So while we starve for transfer news and new players nc is probably on some jolly until tomorrow.
