Cabrone Posted 9 January, 2013 Share Posted 9 January, 2013 Why lol. Nothing wrong at all Oh come on, on here everything is Boruc's fault - didn't you know that? I quite like the nutty Pole in the goal, he might be a bit of an acquired taste but he does add a bit of colour to proceedings and will turn out to be a fine GK given half a chance IMO.

lloydie Posted 9 January, 2013 Share Posted 9 January, 2013 To be fair i will have kittens if we get him permanantly! The rest of the season on loan looks a lot more realistic than that though... And i'd still be chuffed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 9 January, 2013 Share Posted 9 January, 2013 (edited) To be fair i will have kittens if we get him permanantly! The rest of the season on loan looks a lot more realistic than that though... And i'd still be chuffed! they all look good in pussy leagues like the Calcio, wait until Vidic or Kompany sorts him out a couple of times, won't look anywhere near as fancy. PSG bought a couple of expensive players from Milan and even in the fairly pussy Ligue 1 they look a bit lightweight.

Why don't the clubs do all this fart arsing around negotiation stuff BEFORE the window starts and then just rubber stamp things in the window itself? Isn't that a win-win for all parties? It is bizarre - its just the way it is. I guess clubs want to create auctions for players and players want to wait to get the best club they can. Its nigh on impossible to be the club that does it differently as you are so dependent on the selling club and the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess no one wants to waste time and effort on something without seeing it through to the very end. Imagine thinking you had a player lined up for months, only for the player/agent/club etc to start ****ing around when the window finally opens. Of course, some deals are clearly done and just formalised when the window opens but it's not the norm, unfortunately for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olallana Posted 10 January, 2013 Share Posted 10 January, 2013 Something that seems to be spectacularly misunderstood, even by the Southampton management.... Or could it possible be that it never benefits the selling club to sell a player that way unless the buyer gives them what they want... And with all our targets now the selling club demands more than we are willing to pay straight away.......(we might pay that in the end but the correct business move is to never agree on the selling clubs demand from the start) Selling club will always look for bidding wars between multiple buyers...

This is the issue it in now way benefits the selling club because they have a player who know's he is going elsewhere so lacks motivation and the selling club can't get a replacement, leaves the selling club and the player in limbo. There is also the injury risk to the buying club if you commit to buy a player who then crocks himself. There is also the the fact that most clubs don't want to sell their better players. A few months ago I doubt Cagliari would have thought that they may be forced to sell their best assets for lower prices, they agreed a deal for Astori to Spartak for more than we are offering but the deal fell through. I would think that Coutinho in the summer might have flet he had a chance at a regular starting place, 6 months later he's been on the bench a lot and is thinking that he should maybe leave permanently and maybe Inter who are cutting costs are having their hand forced more than before. Things change all the time in football, I doubt Astori and Coutinho would have been on our radar a few months ago, but circumstances change, the player becomes available and we then look to take advantage.

Secret Site Agent Posted 11 January, 2013 Share Posted 11 January, 2013 are you joking? Personally i think we have no chance. He's one of the best players out there. The problem I have with Youtube clips is that it always reminds me of the Episode of Mike Bassett when an agent shows him a video of a player and he sees all these wonderful goals being scored and buys the player, just to find out he's actually bought the Goalkeeper in the videos.

Also - if you agree a transfer ready for the window - what happens if that player then breaks his leg a week before the transfer! You're stuck with him. A club wouldn't let you back down from it, why would they if you agreed to it! It's that or they are going to pay their player and not play him? Again no club would do that either!
