The big deals/rumours

Hopefully we can make a move on Billy Sharp

Cannot see Saints selling Billy Sharp

 

Good signing for Saints and will replace David Connelly who they have now released.

Saints with Lambert - Sharp - Guly Do Prado and now Rodriquez in the squad, they should have enough to stay in the PL, just. imo.

No chance. Southampton are going to need all the fire power they can muster.

Nor I. Robert Snodgrass should be another imo who Steve Bruce goes after. We did the donkey work on this deal back in Jan. Perfect for the left wing for us and TWS need the cash.

 

What do you know about this Tickler? You've mentioned it a few times and I'm wondering if it was one of the more secret deals that we didn't manage to complete in January. Speaking to Burnsy a while ago he suggested there were a few that never became public knowledge.

 

Yes we were in for Snodgrass and the deal was done. I got told about this deal by a couple of people and Burnsy was indeed one of them. Problem was that the Allams would not sign off on it. What happens now is open to debate. Nobody will pay much for Snodgrass as he enters his final year. Snoddy may end up staying at Leeds and going where he likes next summer. TWT as always.
Burnsy actually confirmed it about Snodgrass on his morning show a few weeks ago.

Now its only my own theory, But i think that maybe the Allams lost faith in both AP and NB to deal with big money deals. Examples...AP for instance failed miserably over the Dele Adebola deal and Jay Simpson was way over paid what he was worth.


Yes you are also correct in other deals going west and not happening in Jan for various reasons. That debate has been well worn out and we move on now. Certainly i feel the next few weeks are going to be interesting.

It would also be nice to see what kind of Pre-Season fixtures list we shall have. What date for the Winterton game as an example ? How about York City away again (if we dont get them in thursdays COC Draw) for another. Lets have Newcastle back down here @ the KC on 4th August if possible ?

 

PSG have joined Man U in pursuit of Spurs' Luka Modric, apparently being prepared to pay £30m.

PSG are being linked with almost everyone, they must have money to burn

 

It's rumoured they have!

 

Sounds similar to be like a club not more than 2 hours away from Hull.

 

Man Utd also looking to sign Leighton Baines from Everton. Poor Everton who are also fighting to keep hold of Fellaini who is wanted b y Chelsea and Tim Cahill who is wanted in the far east. Cahills final Big pay day maybe ? ? ?

 

A lot of players will end up in Asia - money talks

 

When your not good enough to play for a team that wins trophies and your days are numbered i would agree.

Dont expect to see the likes of Rooney, Messi, Ronaldo etc etc to be going over there anytime soon regardless of what is offered.

 

Thats why I said "end up" i.e. final pay day

 

Ok sorry. Mis-read you. To be honest i thought Tim Cahill is at least 2 years from being ready for his final pay day. Then again he would be going closer to home.

 

Is he out of contract?

Robert Green to QPR - 50k a week.

 

I reckon West Ham might perform better than QPR next season, so I have no idea why he's done that. £££ I guess.

 

Wet Spam having talks with Mohamed Diame

 

Let the battle of the In-the-knows commence.
