brmbrm Posted 2 June, 2019 Share Posted 2 June, 2019 Do we have any fairly reliable sources of information on the forum any more? I am aware that one deal is as good as done. One is close to as good as done. Two more are possibly soon to be close to a good as done. Plus a lot of super fun this week. So basically no, I have no idea, but at least I am honest enough to admit it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchards Posted 2 June, 2019 Share Posted 2 June, 2019 The market only picks up once some of the big teams start getting a few deals done. Its probably about replacements replacing replacements and so on. Let’s say we wanted a Leipzig striker and 20m was accepted then it’s them that needs to get a replacement in before it’s public knowledge as their targeted replacement price would go up. Ps if this does not make sense then not too worry as I stayed up to watch the AJ fight :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints-til-i-die Posted 2 June, 2019 Share Posted 2 June, 2019 It seems that our first signing is usually around the last week of June. Hopefully we can sign one player without having to wait for the dross to go: Austin, Carrillo, Boufal, Moi, Hoedt, Cedric, Forster, Stephens. I fear we won’t be able to do much until we can shift some of these. That will be tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Kucho Posted 2 June, 2019 Share Posted 2 June, 2019 Dutch media reporting that Kevin Strootman has been told he can leave Marseille. He might be 29 years old and had a few injuries, however he would be a massive upgrade on any of our current midfielders and bring loads of experience. Might need some convincing joining us.

Not based on the season he 's just had at Marseille he wouldn't. He is either toast or can't be arsed, whichever it is we need to steer well clear of him.

Complete opposite of the type of player we should be going for. I'd much rather we signed a 50:50 Mane/Moi player than signed more over the hill Ings' and Austins.

Window Cleaner Posted 2 June, 2019 Share Posted 2 June, 2019 (edited) Arsenal seem to want Ozil out. Just saying. And he'll still want his 300K a week or whatever it is that he gets... so that's a non-starter for all but a few elite clubs with sponsors money to throw out of the window then, most of them wouldn't want him either..

Chez Posted 2 June, 2019 Share Posted 2 June, 2019 Quite alarming if we are being left behind Bournemouth in the transfer stakes. it's not alarming.Their budget is pretty similar to ours and they have not ladened themselves with quite so many monstrous contracts, a la Forster, on players that never play. They also still have a few players they brought with them on their promotions, and they will inevitably be on lessor contracts than big signing coming in, even if they have been increased during their time in the top flight. That's before we look at their owner and his willingness to back the side with funds/loans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the PL clubs outside the top 6 are looking at the same pool of players so the ones you really want you may need to pay slightly over the odds (within reason) to get them. Pointless missimg out on top targets for the sake of one or two million given how much cash is around. I don't doubt that Saints identify good players to bring in. But I do doubt the ability of the club to actually get good deals over the line and now we have little idea who is actually performing that role at the club.

the saint in winchester Posted 3 June, 2019 Share Posted 3 June, 2019 Hot off the press : 16:26CARRILLO SET FOR ARGENTINA RETURN Argentinian giants Boca Juniors want to give Guido Carrillo a route out of Southampton and back to his homeland. Sky Sports News understands they are among a clutch of teams interested in signing the striker this summer. Carrillo joined the Saints from Monaco in January 2018 while his compatriot Mauricio Pellegrino was head coach – but it has not worked out for the 28-year-old at St Mary’s. Carrillo has made just seven Premier League appearances and three more in cup competitions without scoring a single goal. It is understood there are also clubs in Spain, Italy and Mexico who have expressed an interest. Meanwhile, Southampton are not trying to sign the Fiorentina goalkeeper Bart Dragowski, contrary to reports in Italy. The Saints are not in the market for a new goalkeeper this summer with Angus Gunn, Alex McCarthy and Fraser Forster all still on the books.

angelman Posted 3 June, 2019 Share Posted 3 June, 2019 We're likely/definitely going to have to take a hair cut with this one. One would like to get our money back for the remainder of his contract (which is something like £10.5m). I doubt anyone would pay more than £8m or maybe €10m.
