saint_ed Posted 1 September, 2014 Share Posted 1 September, 2014 According to our colleague Romain Molina, Southampton have now entered the race to sign Andre Ayew. They will make a move for the player if their attempts to sign Nathan Redmond from Norwich fail. I'd far rather Ayew than Redmond! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxstone Posted 1 September, 2014 Share Posted 1 September, 2014 Shame if we miss out on Mane to Spurs - looks to be exactly what we need, albeit from limited evidence. Still think his price is too high so if we lose out on him then not particularly fussed... Not keen on Redmond either and would prefer Capel.

angelman Posted 1 September, 2014 Share Posted 1 September, 2014 Ashton trying hard.... Will Morgan Schneiderlin finally move to Spurs? His agent certainly hopes so It's one of the longest-running sagas of this summer - will Morgan Schneiderlin finally get the move to Tottenham that he wants? Neil Ashton has the latest: 'An anxious day for Morgan Schneiderlin. His agent was at Southampton's team hotel on Saturday trying to convince the board to let the midfielder leave for Tottenham... And then his client scored twice in an impressive 3-1 victory.' Were the board at the team hotel??? Sounds a bit strange if they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 1 September, 2014 Share Posted 1 September, 2014 (edited) Capel seems like a player on the decline. Was highly rated about 5 years ago. Hopefully Spurs can just get Welbeck on loan instead, which is probably to tide them over until the inevitable Jay Rod move there.

SuperMikey Posted 1 September, 2014 Share Posted 1 September, 2014 Doesn't really seem to be anything solid behind it, but Ayew would be a fantastic signing if we don't get Redmond/Mane. I'd probably prefer him ahead of either of them tbh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bewildered Posted 1 September, 2014 Share Posted 1 September, 2014 Capel seems like a player on the decline. Was highly rated about 5 years ago. Yeah, 26 and seemingly going backwards.

foxy9143 Posted 1 September, 2014 Share Posted 1 September, 2014 I am a bit reluctant to say this with 11 hours still to go but....if it is true that Spurs have this summer tried to get MS, JRod and now Clyne, AND if they end up getting none of them, I think this may leave a big chunk of egg on Pochetino's face. I just imagine that when he was having his deceitful and underhand meetings with Levy back in April/May he may well have promised that if he was appointed he would be able to bring the above mentioned players with him. He may have underestimated the resolve of our Board. I hope that is the case anyway but I guess we'll never know until it becomes a footnote in Levy's autobiography justifying why he sacked Poch.

Plus those two would be permanent deals. Have to say though, I think Redmond is quite overrated. Mane looks the most exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers rarely have a great deal to do with completing transfers these days. Poch may well have stated he'd like them, but I'd imagine the dealings would be left to Levy and Baldini.

saint_ed Posted 1 September, 2014 Share Posted 1 September, 2014 (edited) For those moaning about loans its worth mentioning that clubs are and will be using this more and more as a tactic to get around the FFP rules.

What ought to be prohibited though is loans within the same division. Somebody already pointed out that we'll have to field a 2nd choice left back for two games against chelsea this season, while our 1st choice helps us take points off chelsea's rivals. That's how they've used lukaku for the last couple of seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
