Another to add to the list, which has come back up again (I know the link above is old...). Read it on Sky Sports 'paper talk' this morning.

Most likely rubbish, but there has been a link for a while.

Looks like we've become Italian agent's favourite price bumper upper.

Now that kid is a player, there's not a chance we could get him on a permanent as that article suggests. Rated as one of Inters top prospects, so I don't know why they'd want to sell him.

 

They loaned him out last year to Espanyol and he was unplayable sometimes, saw a couple of games on Sky which he played in. He's way too good for us, put it that way. It's fair enough getting Gaston, but this kid would be totally out of our league to buy. Now, a loan may be an option...and would be a stunning addition.

Nothing wrong in aiming BIG ..... that's what Cortese is aiming at

 

You get what you pay for basically

 

On the other hand, if you target Dross, for Dross money, that is exactly what you get.... DROSS, and we've got enough of those already

If i recall correctly, Wesley Schneider is on something like $200,000 a week at Inter, but is not playing. If AL is going to be out a while, and as a short term til end of season loan do you think a cheeky bid to pay a quarter or a half his wages for six months plus a little bonus if we stay up could get him off Inters hands for a while but give him the EPL stage to show hes still got it? Would cost us maybe £3m over that time but we should sell out everywhere and he would surely shine in england. Worth a punt? It might be time to mix it up a bit with such a high profile loanee ( unlike that hopeless spurs kid last year), and they don't get much higher than WS.

Schneider would never, ever play for a lowly club like Saints. These blokes have egos the size of Mt Blanc. Not in the CL? forget

it. Money isn't everything, they want bling and success. I mean did you see Balotelli's Bentley, what other idiot would get a camouflage painted Bentley but that's the sort of mentality these 200K a week blokes actually have..

There is clearly something wrong there because he was being linked with £20 million + moves a year ago, now it seems Inter are pretty much willing to let him go for free if someone takes him but it looks like no one wants the wages. His ego and attitude must be off the chart for none of the big clubs to take him.

 

Most likely he will end up at a big spending Russian club.

cristiano ronaldo will be sold in January with Manchecter united looking the most obvious option, However southampton have apparently offered £86m for the forward, looking to pay him a around £165,000 a week. there looking to for this deal 1 for the players ability and 2 to generate fans across the world.

 

Get in! :)

Supposedly only not getting in the Inter side because Cassano is in front of him.

 

And anyway Neil, thats a bit like saying Ramirez is crap because he's playing for Southampton who are 17th!

 

I'm not saying anyone is crap, just that sometimes the phrase 'world class' is a little over used.

If he is willing to play for Espanyol then I see no reason why he wouldn't come and play for us.

southampton are in talks to sign wesley sneijder on loan for the rest of the season, courtese sees this as an opporunity to stay up and the inter milan bigwigs who are desperate to get him off the wage bill are more than happy for him to put himself in the shop window for a bigger club, this is expected to cost southampton in the region 2 million on sneijders wages.

News just in at elland road leeds set to hold talks with ricky lambert to bring him in to be partners with becchio?....... heard it here first!

Just had a word with my cousin who's an estate agent and has just shown balotelli around a couple of luxury flats in Southampton, ahead of a loan deal for the rest of the season. Nice one NC look forward to seeing super mario in the famous red and white

Southampton and West Brom could miss out on Sergi Roberto, with Espanyol the front-runners to take the Barcelona starlet on loan.

Targets should have been identified weeks before Janaury, biggest game of the season Saturday and zero CB or GK

 

Adkins has already said we won't be signing a new keeper, we signed two in the last window. It looks to be Artur Boruc for the rest of the season. Give him a run of games and I think he'll be fine.

And what a useless pair they've been. Isn't Adkins a former goalkeeper himself? You'd have thought he'd have a good eye. Three points this Saturday would be huge considering 35 plus points could save us from relegation. Just questionable planning if any..

Which is worse, the ridiculously harsh assessment of a young keeper's step up to the top flight, or the ridiculously premature judging of a top international's ability? I'm not sure.

 

It's rediculous that we've signed a young keeper to play in the premier league without blooding him in gradually, and as for Borat, did you watch the arsenal game?

Still should have enough to beat them. Only Fonte and Lallana out, 1 which some of our fans totally wrote off before the start on the season, and a few weeks into it, and 1 which our fans think has underperformed this season.

 

Jos will do a job on Benteke, and as long as Guly keeps them crosses in to Lambert, he'll cause them havoc.

What a boring and uninformed comment ("Janaury" ??) ! Targets were identified in the summer (failed with keeper and high profile CB), and renewed again in this window, but just because we want a player, their current side will not roll over, no matter what we offer! They will play the game and get as much as they can, whilst lining up their replacement etc. etc.

 

Don't see too many other major transfers done yet by the bigger/smarter clubs, so I guess we are not the only mugs??

 

BTW - as you are such an expert, why don't you apply for transfer specialist at the club - would be genuinely delighted if you could get all our first choice transfers done within the first ten days of the transfer period - really would be!

 

Personally, I think this self imposed transfer window (by footy authorities) is just plain daft (in Parkinson speak), and may even be in breach of EU free trade practice - I am sure someone will challenge it sooner or later as per Bosman case.

It's great isn't it, every club out there has its few fans who suggest they look at players before January or June and have deals wrapped up. They must live in very simple worlds where coincidentally no-one else but them has noticed how simple it all is. Either that or....nope, must be that.

 

Broadly, in effect, the January transfer window is basically the last week in January. It's madness.
