Summer Transfer Rumour Thread.

[frankimus]

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.

Good shout

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

Certainly Tom!

 

[pass the football]

Yeah it really affected our performance the past 2 seasons.

Good point, let's keep the team exactly as it was in league one. Can't argue with those performances!

 

[frankimus]

Certainly Tom!

I think Jaidi and Connolly should get honorary mentions in the sold section

 

[Beef]

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.

How do you think Sharp will do

Well now you're being stupid

Yes that does sound stupid doesn't it. And it was almost exactly what you said, to paraphrase: "Lack of pace hasn't held us back in the lower leagues, so we don't need to add it now."

I didn't say we don't need pace, it's an area we can and will improve but people seem to think it's the be all and end all of football.

Hello Beef!

Well Sharp for me pre-season has looked our most potent attacking threat so I think he will do well........ That being said that worries the hell out of me.

Apparently Buttner deal is still on, Vitesse and Buttner are trying to sort out the differences.

Yeah I saw that as well....... maybe 3 new faces before the Citeh game?

Cant really comment as we still dont really know how good he is. An LB is needed though

If we got Ramirez, Phillips, Buttner and a new CB i think i would blow

 

[Beef]

And a CB to come in on snide, to shut up the people that go on about it

 

[frankimus]

Surely we won't get Phillips and Ramirez? Aren't they both wingers?

 

[Beef]

Move Lallana into the middle?, also if we are playing 4-3-3. Ramirez would be one of the front 3 IMO.

Indeed Phillips on the right Ram on the left

Just did some reading into the Buttner issue.

His Dad has a "finder's fee" contract. Vitesse dispute that.

He wants 600,000 euro for travelling costs etc. for the duration of his son's prospective contract, say for 3 or 4 years in England.

He has been offered 275,000 - he rejected it. They went to court as Buttner has been forced to train alone and is not being played by Vitesse at all.

Saints were asked if they would subsidise this deal, which they refused as they had never agreed this contract.

The family took Vitesse Arnhem to court and Buttner lost the case (apparently) and Vitesse say their compensation offer stands.

 

[Schneiderlin's Foxy Face]

Presumably the deal will go through towards the end of the transfer window when his dad panics and realizes that 275000 is better than nothing.
