Summer Transfer Rumour Thread.

Still waiting to hear back from Blackpool re the Phillips bid. Probably a good sign that it wasn't rejected on sight.

 

And Hammond, Spider, Cork.

 

That's true actually, it either means Oyston likes it so is keeping it above Holloway, or even Holloway's head has been turned.

 

What happened to doing business behind closed doors?? This has come out from the saints media team..

 

Yep, Tom Ince is certainly better than all of them! (I'm off now so if it turns out he's being serious, does someone else wanna step in and take the piss on my behalf?)

 

If you mean Simon Peach, he isn't Saints media team. He's a journalist of his own accord who just happens to support Southampton, therefore asks around with his media buddies to see if there's any news.

 

He will become more of a player than all of those, Actually maybe Cork could be on the same level but he does not have the strength of Ince. And Spider does not have his pace and Hammond lacks against him in every department.

That being said I still like all 3 players being part of our team.

 

It's pretty daft to compare a forward/winger with defensive midfielders. Pretty sure Hammond is a better tackler, for example.

 

Would be one situation where leaking to the press might be in the team's interest, actually. Takes the sting out of the accusation that they're going behind the back of Blackpool's management.

And 6m is a hefty enough bid that I'd be a little surprised if Blackpool simply rejected it, unless it's very heavily structured.

 

Oh really? My bad. Someone has talked though!

 

How are you comparing these players? Ince is nothing like them. But I wouldn't expect you to understand that

 

What does it matter if they don't have the same attributes? They're different positions. This is like saying Tom Ince is better than Paul Scholes ever way because Scholes never had pace?

 

I was just comparing as midfielders Ince could play a central midfield role.

 

He could also play in goal

 

I hate this pace obsession Saints fans have

 

There are other parties involved...

It's because it's a quality we are desperately lacking in the team.

 

Maybe he's thinking of Paul Ince?

 

Yeah it really affected our performance the past 2 seasons.

 

Its good to be back getting under the skins of the "majority" of posters on here who think their opinions are the only ones that count and always the same ones who agree with each other! Bring on Sunday and season!!

A lot of you who all praise the same players and attack the same players you don't like are in for a big shock this season.

 

SaintsFanAlex, can you please update the OP as Harding has now gone.
