ADutchSaint Posted 23 August, 2016 Share Posted 23 August, 2016 Got to be something wrong with Ziyech, can't see how a guy of that age, available at that fee with the record he's had over the last few years not being picked up by someone. I mean he's got far more pedigree than Janssen and is cheaper. Twente is asking too much and Ziyech is pretty picky on what clubs he wants to go to. According to a journalist, who spoke to him and his agent, there's a lot of interest but they are all waiting until the last day cause Twente has to sell him and they think he will be cheaper at the last moment of this window. And another problem Ziyech has is that he choose to play for Morocco so he will be gone for like 2 months with the Africa Cup in the middle of the season. Not really ideal if you want him as a key player. Jansen had a good season and did good in the friendlies with the Dutch national team, where every club in Europe was sitting in the stance cause we played with the youngest national team ever (Wijnaldum was the oldest guy on the pitch with 26 or some). Ziyech just made two bad decisions in a row when it comes to his career, going to Twente while they already were in financial troubles and not having the patience to get called up again for the Dutch squad. And it will cost him. He will become a classic example of bad advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS1980 Posted 23 August, 2016 Share Posted 23 August, 2016 So Wilson is head of Scouting and recruitment, so would he be needed if they were meeting a player in London? And do they need a finance guy for contracts? BTW going on a wild guess they might be meeting Stanciu, I can't see any direct flights from Bucharest to Southampton so would make sense for him to fly into London. Well they are playing man city tomorrow, maybe they are going to hijack his coach Upto Manchester instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 23 August, 2016 Share Posted 23 August, 2016 All good stuff and well doe to our super sleuths. On a different note hope some of you were up at SMS last evening to see the kids? Stevens, Reed & Ollie were outstanding and more than ready for the bench, in fact Stevens looks a very good bet indeed should Fonte do a runner. Overall a mighty impressive performance especially in defence and Puel turned up to watch. The kid Johnson looks the real deal as well but Sims & Hesketh were ok but have some way to go before they can challenge for the bench. Does anybody know if fans can watch the U23's at Staplewood or are those games played behind closed doors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 23 August, 2016 Share Posted 23 August, 2016 Twente is asking too much and Ziyech is pretty picky on what clubs he wants to go to. According to a journalist, who spoke to him and his agent, there's a lot of interest but they are all waiting until the last day cause Twente has to sell him and they think he will be cheaper at the last moment of this window. And another problem Ziyech has is that he choose to play for Morocco so he will be gone for like 2 months with the Africa Cup in the middle of the season. Not really ideal if you want him as a key player. Jansen had a good season and did good in the friendlies with the Dutch national team, where every club in Europe was sitting in the stance cause we played with the youngest national team ever (Wijnaldum was the oldest guy on the pitch with 26 or some). Ziyech just made two bad decisions in a row when it comes to his career, going to Twente while they already were in financial troubles and not having the patience to get called up again for the Dutch squad. And it will cost him. He will become a classic example of bad advice. Interesting thanks, didn't realise he could have potentially qualified for Holland. On Janssen I just means he'd only had one good season whereas Ziyech seems to have been doing well for a few years in a poor team. Well they are playing man city tomorrow, maybe they are going to hijack his coach Upto Manchester instead... Forgot that, weren't people talking about a potential Van Dijk situation where they didn't want to sell him until they had done their champs league qualifier. They are almost certainly out now, so will be interesting to see if he plays tomorrow. Calling the chap on here who seemingly has access to airline passenger lists to confirm which flight he's on. (Can't remember his user name) As far as I can see there are no flights direct from Bucharest to Manchester either, so I'd presume Steau are flying into London today before travelling up to Manchester. Just a guess but I'd say it's likely Stanciu is going to be in London at some point today. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2016/08/22/report-southampton-close-to-signing-nicolae-stanciu-for-7-millio/ However, Steaua’s chances of reaching the group stages of the Champions League seem to be all but over after they suffered a 5-0 hammering at the hands of Manchester City in the first leg of the play-offs and now Romanian outlet Sport have gone on to provide a key update regarding Stanciu’s future. The report states that Steaua are finally ready to sell Stanciu following the second leg of the Champions League play-off against City on Wednesday and that the 23-year-old is set to join Southampton after the Saints placed a bid of around £7 million.

Juventus Fan Posted 23 August, 2016 Share Posted 23 August, 2016 Zaza is a good player, He is fast and has good finishing, and I am sad to see him leave but he is too good for being fourth striker in rotation, so is Mandzukic, so we have to realease one. Too bad its zaza, but I believe we are keeping Mandzukic because of his experience in the highest level, so there is no reason to think he is much better than Zaza. Anyway guys, I hope if its not Juve for Zaza, its Saints, cuz i like Saints and how they threat players, I see simmilarities in two systems. GL and meet Sassuolo in EL's final.

Juventus Fan Posted 23 August, 2016 Share Posted 23 August, 2016 Also Zaza always makes impact from the bench, he has one of the better goals/minutes ratio, he is cappable to score a magnificent goal against a good team with being brought to the game ar 80th minute.
