EBS1980 Posted 17 June, 2013 Share Posted 17 June, 2013 Hmm.... unnamed Premier League club spending big money on an Italian striker. May be nothing but... Anyone got a funny feeling? SkySportsNews: Sky sources: Udinese reject £8m bid from an unnamed Premier League club for Matej Vydra #SSN Hull City i reckon, having come up from the league he played in last season, i reckon they will be after him. Already offered similar amount for Hooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 17 June, 2013 Share Posted 17 June, 2013 I see MLG doesnt leave his arguements over nothing purely to SWF, nice to see he is branching out I'll get the press to understand Shaw isn't leaving this summer and is signing a long term deal next month! The daftest suggestion that we'd sell Shaw for £10m this summer and then loan him back for a year. What benefit do Saints gain from that? They'd be better off keeping him for a season, watching his value grow and then sell him. Not that I think Cortese would want to do that. I do think we'll keep Shaw for longer than we kept Walcott and Bale due to Premier League status and the owners actually trying to compete towards the top of the league with other signings. Eventually Shaw will leave for a bigger club, but we are in a good position at the moment to keep him happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually Shaw will leave for a bigger club, but we are in a good position at the moment to keep him happy. I along with many of the staff at St Marys am very hopeful that he will sign, but keyword here is hopeful. It isnt a guarantee by any means. Just because he has stated intention it can still be taken to tribunal if he wanted to leave. Plus there has been plenty of interest in the boy, personally I dont see him as better than Bale at his age, they are different players, Shaw is more bridge than bale IMO but still a fee of 10m plus being loaned back would certainly be appealing if it were to look as though a tribunal fee was the only other option. Your not going to get them to wise up either, like all journos and in fact mist people with a few connections into the game (it wouldnt actually surprise me if you did yourself) we all hear snippets, rumours and things that may never get into the open air. Some of us say nothing, some will repeat it and others exagerate in order to make themselves more interesting. Ill let you work out which one is a more likely path for journalists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 17 June, 2013 Share Posted 17 June, 2013 What's the big deal with him? When I saw him a few times for Watford he was average at best. Why don't Udinese want him? I haven't seen a lot of him but he looks a decent prospect to me. For a 20 year old playing his first season in English football to get 24 goals is one heck of an achievement. We payed £7m for JRod after a similar season but he was 3 years older and had been playing in England his whole career. I'd say £8m is probably a reasonable enough fee for Vydra.

Window Cleaner Posted 17 June, 2013 Share Posted 17 June, 2013 There's no way Vydra is an 8 million pound striker. probably, but folks do like to tattle and the price goes up the longer the tattle goes on. Now if you were a Watford fan you'd probably think him worth about 400 million but that you should be able to sign him for 500K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 17 June, 2013 Share Posted 17 June, 2013 loads of people booed him. SAme with Guly, any surprises his form went to pot last season when he became the whipping boy. Dowie got plenty of abuse when he first signed. I even remember his name being booed when it was announced over the tannoy after he'd scored. Didn't affect him though, as while he didn't necessarily start playing any better he won most people over with his hard work and winning of free kicks/penalties for Matty to score from.

Will have probably taken a £1-2k pw contract at Hearts and they can't register him so would be cheap. Not sure if he would be good enough but worth a shout value wise just to take a look as back up to Clyne. But he will probably want first team football, hence why he left Liverpool.
