The9 Posted 22 July, 2013 Share Posted 22 July, 2013 Doesn't sound good: The Argentina international, who has been no stranger to controversy since arriving at Mestalla, believes los Che have a squad capable of lifting a trophy Ever Banega has expressed his desire to repay all of the support Valencia have shown in him by helping them win a title this season. The Argentine has suffered with injury problems during his time at Mestalla - including an ankle problem after being run over by his own car - but he is determined to bring los Che the success he feels the club deserves. “I am grateful that I have had so much affection, so many chances and it is time to return it in style on the pitch,” Banega told VCFPlay, his club's official TV channel. “I am proud to be a part of Valencia. I have spent a while here, I know the place very well and it really leaves a mark on you. “There’s a style, it marks you for life. You become one of them. “I face this season with the same enthusiasm and ambition as previous ones. I am proud to be one of the oldest here at 25. “With the squad that we have here, we deserve to win a title.” Banega, who has been capped 19 times by his country, joined Valencia from Boca Juniors in 2008 for a reported fee of €20 million Bloody hell !! Didn't sound good when it was posted three days ago either : http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?45336-%C9ver-Banega&p=1739260#post1739260, leading to this thread going spectacularly off topic in the way only a doomed un-signing thread can.

mynameisthehulk Posted 22 July, 2013 Share Posted 22 July, 2013 I come on this thread as there has been a bit of action on it, assuming there will be some update about us signing a player. Instead it is the usual suspects sucking eachother off again. Are there mods on this forearm anymore or are they still counting the fivers?

Rebel Posted 23 July, 2013 Share Posted 23 July, 2013 If he does join Saints i have a feeling it will be to replace Gaston Ramirez. They're not quite the same type of player but Banega would probably fit better with the. 4-3-3 pressing style of football we seem to be looking to play. Unfortunately in this system both Lambert and Gastom seem to be the odd ones out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon Saint Posted 28 July, 2013 Share Posted 28 July, 2013 (edited) Watching the last 2 friendlies we do lack creativity and someone to create chances in the final 3rd. This should be our no.1 target imo Agreed, especially if Gaston isn't going to be match-fit for the start of the season. As a side-issue, I'm not sure why we only seem only to be able to complete one transfer at a time with the report suggesting that the Banega deal was put on the back-burner because of finalizing Wanyama's transfer. Not suggesting at all that we emulate Sunderland and bring in any old dross to the club, but their transfer activity does suggest that they have multiple persons working on multiple deals - or at least, an ability to juggle multiple transfers at once. No surprise that our own transfer activity has been so slow of late with Cortese recovering from his broken leg, but it does beg the question whether he needs anyone brought in to help with the transfer negotiations. Can anyone shed any light on Les Reed's role here? Edited 28 July, 2013 by Toon Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 29 July, 2013 Share Posted 29 July, 2013 Valencia fans are saying the Soldado deal will cover their debts for this season, and his replacement is apparently Postiga who won't cost much at all. Valencia are still trying to trim the squad though, so I would still expect to see lots of movement from them in the transfer market. Their fans have reacted to the news that we may bid again with a little bemusement and shock. They feel he is their best player, worth more than €20m, and there would be lots of fan backlash if he went. However, they also feel that if Saints doubled his salary he'd be off and Valencia would just need to get as much as they can for him in that instance. I have no idea how much Banega earns and speculative efforts on the internet suggest a range of figures, however it is fair to say that Valencia don't pay players low wages. On that assumption I don't think we'd be doubling his wages, and if we were going to spend lots of money on another player it should really ought to be a striker.

saint-crinny Posted 19 September, 2013 Share Posted 19 September, 2013 He hardly had a kick - but you would have been looking to him to get on the ball and play. He probably wishes he'd forced a move away - Valencia looked absolutely awful tonight. Bizarre in the second half when half the fans behind the goal just left the stand and went and stood in the concourse for 15 minutes. They're on the road to nowhere at the moment, financially and on the pitch. Swansea showed what they are all about though - if they get in front they can pass you to death, especially when you're down to ten men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
