CONFIRMED: Saints sign Armando Broja

Yeah unfortunately. He will know more about what's going on at Saints than Romano.

 

... and to Broja himself. Must feel good knowing that we want him to be our most expensive signing ever - fingers and toes crossed!

 

That's because they can't.. and it's bollocks anyway..

 

Yep …….calling bullshit.

 

Me too.

 

Yeah seems a bit weird they’d spend that on him now when he wouldn’t join til end of the season (when they don’t know what league they’ll be in).

Unless they can pay us to end his loan early I suppose

 

Imagine the fume lol.

 

He scores the winner in the re-arranged game, scenes

 

If they are prepared to pay that much at any point (such as the summer) then we better be pouring over those scout reports for an alternative. No way we can get anywhere near that

 

Money Talks , and they have plenty of that !

 

It was 40 million Euros, not Pounds. So IF that tweet was accurate it amounted to 33.5mill in Pounds. Not a huge amount more than we've offered.

 

The source where that came from had the price in euros, not pounds.

 

I didn’t realise it was tuttomercato. Didn’t look closely. I think they have similar credibility as The Sun

 

Even so, I can't see us going beyond £30m and let's face it, Toon could blow us out of the water with fee and wages if they really wanted him.

 

I guess the concern could be how easily he would risk being cast aside if he didn’t fire there. Remember “they love a number 9 up there” - a special kind of pressure

And it is not trivial matter to move up to Newcastle when you have lived in the south almost all your life. That said he has already played abroad

It depends on how the protect at Newcastle is pitched. The mere fact they are linked with him having just signed Wood and already having Wilson suggests high risk of turnover. If he were to go there he would replace Wood meaning Wood would have got all of 4 months to show what he could do

And they need to stay up. It’s looking likely but not certain

 

All becoming clear now. Every club in the league is in for Broja, who apparently isn't for sale this window, and Newcastle are in for pretty much everyone else... and Broja.

 

It was always likely that this would be the case once scouts have watched him play, he is one of the hottest young talents in football right now, our best hope is that he may have fallen in love with the club since he has been here.

 

Our best hope is probably that Chelsea don't want to sell to anyone, but agree to another season on loan

 

I’m hoping that Broja will just say that the first time he heard the Saints band before the game his head was turned.
