Summer Transfer Rumour Thread.

If (and I say if) this goes through, it will show we mean business. Any new player will be improved by being at Southampton.

 

I think a signing like this will show our intent.

 

Clyne on a free.. And Rodriguez 7 mill Wont be so bad!! Cortese is spending last seasons budget for players

 

As some one else pointed out, Lambert, Lee and Sharp cost 2.8 million between them, so overpaying on another won't break the bank.

 

And Hoilett

 

very good point, plus he couldnt of spent all of last years transfer kitty!!

 

It's good first piece of the jigsaw. Surely means we have the finances to make another one or two of these kind of signings.

 

Adam blackmore tweeted that he strongly suspects scot dans is in talk, solent usually quite reliable! Seems its all action at st marys

 

He would be a great signing!

 

Im excited, for those that don't know my opinion on Jay rod is:

He is a target man much akin to Lambert however lambert has a better shot, better first touch and marginally better heading

While Jay rod is YOUNGER with potential and with far more pace and quality heading to boot, shot isn't bad either.

I'd say that jay rod is lamberts successor mainly but they could play together however I reckon adkins will stick lambert up and rotate his partners.


For the gamers he's a 72 on fifa 12 and has decent pace on that too, and on football manager he was quality for me in the prem. 15-20 goals a season for a good few seasons!

 

Rodriguez and Dann are supposedly the first 2 players we are talking to? This sounds very good to me.

Excited isn't the word!

 

Just to change the topic slightly, it seems that Swansea are quite keen on Giovani dos Santos. I can see them getting him as well.

 

Burnley fans think its a bargain, some go as far as "he will single handedly keep them up next year" Buzzing about the ambition and direction of the club

 

Depends on Brendan Rogers I suppose

 

If Rodgers leaves Swansea, they'll have to get a new manager in quickly to sort out the team for next year.

 

Anyone who thinks Rodriguez would be a bad signing is either an idiot or hasn't seen him play. The majority of Burnley fans I've seen think it's anywhere between the right price and a good deal for us.

 

It's the right price now, but hopefully will be seen as a bargain in the future. Much like the price Arsenal paid for Oxo.

 

Some people doubting why he'd join us - Premier League football, very healthy wage, the chance to receive service from players like Morgan, Lambert and Lallana... I know I'd take it.

 

Southampton are financially secure, forward looking and have achieved a double promotion. One look at Cortese's video should do it.

 

Absolutely brilliant news if true. Rodriguez, Danns, a RW and a GK would be an outstanding transfer window IMHO.
