Transfer Rumours Saint Theo!

There's no way that we spent that on Walcott. And no way Walcott is worth that. He's a soon-to-be 29 year old with eighteen months remaining on his deal, and few games under his belt this season...half that is reasonable. If we were willing to drop £30m on an attacker, there are far better options available.

 

Please no. That would be a terrible bit of business.

 

£30 mill will barely get you a striker with a wooden leg in today's market.

 

Have a look though some of the tweets.hes just like a scattergun in the hope he will get some correct. We have not brought theo for 30 mil

 

Nothing new, but the Telegraph are reporting that Everton are very much interested.

 

Walcott is 4/9 with Skybet to sign for us.

 

Sheer madness .

 

Anyone excited about a 29 yo ex player returning on £110K a week on a four year deal must really be feeling the pressure. Outrageous, and not even the player we crave. We are desperate for a target man, not another runner who we don't trust in the box. Hope this is all smoke n mirrors.

 

If this is true it is a real break from my perception of The Southampton Way which would be a shame

 

Much prefer Balotelli to Walcott

 

On the other hand, it would assist in Cortese's goal of having half our team made up of academy graduates. When Nicola put forward that ambition, I don't recall him quantifying their ages! Surman and Best next.

 

Maybe Scousehampton would let us have their ex Saint rejects back as most of our players are there

 

Another ex Saint we should sign
<------------------------------

 

Palace paid $30M for Benteke!

 

I don't know if this is embarrassing to admit, but who is it?

 

Tim Sparv. He's a great Twitter follow if you're into that sort of thing.

 

Saw Sparv mention playing alongside Virgil...forgot he was at Groningen at the same time. Football's a weird old sport, where the Finn from the academy of an English club can help a Danish team beat both his old side and his former teammate in Holland.

 

One little piece of thanks I will give Virgil is he kept alive our home european record. Not sure when that will be tested again. But we get to keep it.

 

We would prefer a loan deal then.
Southampton want to sign 28-year-old Arsenal winger Theo Walcott on loan in January. (Mail)

 

I would be a little more relaxed with a few months on loan to be honest as I don't trust his injury record or desire to work hard to play every week
