sadoldgit Posted 15 July, 2014 Share Posted 15 July, 2014 Blind would certainly surprise me if it happened as there are likely to be some 'heavyweights' after him. Saw today that Jaanmatt was expected on Tyneside for talks with Newcastle. So, at least we know Feyenoord are 'open for business' already on their returning internationals. Just hope RK et al can move quickly for one or two of their players. Is "open for business" the new firesale? Seems odd that we can talk about hoovering up players from Feyenoord but when Liverpool do it to us it is different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearsy Posted 15 July, 2014 Share Posted 15 July, 2014 Blind would be an excellent signing IMHO. Here's hoping. I thought he seemed a bit under-paced to play full-back in Premier League, he looked like a midfielder doing a job to me. And yes, i do appreciate i sound like a bell-end turning my nose up at highly acclaimed Dutch internationals! I would still sign him tho, he would be a good Cork upgrade + utility skills!

Saint Martini Posted 15 July, 2014 Share Posted 15 July, 2014 De Vrij only has one year left on his contract so naturally Feyenoord will be willing to sell for the right price. Clasie has reccently signed a new contract and will probably not be sold in the summer unless there is some serious overpayment. The same goes for Blind, he's contracted for several more years and is guaranteed Champions League football at Ajax (whereas Feyenoord have to qualify and probably won't make it because of that). I would love to see de Vrij at Saints, and if its true that so far only Lazio have made a bid we should be able to compete, but if bigger clubs come in for him like Manu then I don't think we have a chance).

shurlock Posted 15 July, 2014 Share Posted 15 July, 2014 Think 'sensitive' is nothing more mysterious than the fact that parties are some way off reaching an agreement - contrast this with the Pelle/Tadic situations where deals were likely to happen, just that a few wrinkles around terms/fee had to be ironed out.

SuperSAINT Posted 15 July, 2014 Share Posted 15 July, 2014 Could a 'sensitive' transfer be swapping Lovren for Coutinho? Any swap would be sensitive. Who would take 10m and Coutinho? I know I would, and with the players Liverpool have bought, I think they would. I'm just not convinced he'd be up for it. Get de vriij and/or van dijk to replace Lovren, Coutinho and Tadic supporting Pelle. Nice. Whilst I'm not sure a Coutinho swap would happen, I do think his place looks the most at risk after their influx of attackers. Oh, and if we lose Dejan - I'd really want both de Vrij AND van Dijk to come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoPints Posted 15 July, 2014 Share Posted 15 July, 2014 Oh, and if we lose Dejan - I'd really want both de Vrij AND van Dijk to come in. Won't that be confusing though as they're both an anagram of each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bewildered Posted 15 July, 2014 Share Posted 15 July, 2014 Lazio (who have been heavily linked with De Vrij) are close to signing Davide Astori according to Di Marzio.

SarniaSaint Posted 15 July, 2014 Share Posted 15 July, 2014 Anyone criticising Gallagher needs to remember he played really well on full debut v Arsenal albeit should have scored. He was destined at that point to really kick on and progress and gain invaluable experience for remainder of the season. However this 18 year old lad then tragically lost his father. I dont think you will find many 18 year olds that would not find there world turned upside down. I've seen enough from him to think he has a great future ahead of him. Agree with this, think he has a great future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
