Saints transfer rumour thread

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo.../Liverpool-Southampton-want-Jack-Butland.html just regurgitating old reports, can anyone remember the name of the reporter on twitter who covered gaston for us and also mentioned davide?

EDIT: in the original link it mentioned astori but apparently the story does not! My bad.

 

What does his bird look like?

 

Should just rob the whole of Seria A and La Liga as nearly all their teams are in meltdown.

 

http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/footbal...talk/news/adkins-denies-astori-bid_61838.html found interesting quotes from adkins. "You've asked me if I know about him and I know about him. We've got a very good European scouting network now. There are lots of players that we talk about, we are aware of, we scout but it doesn't mean we're going to buy them or make any inquiries. You need to be aware of them and that is something we have developed a lot over the last 12 months. "

 

Probably a stunner....have you ever seen a minging Italian WAG???

 

last time i moaned that it wouldnt happen, to minimse all variables i will continue to be doubtful just doing my part

 

Excellent stuff! Only 3850+ more posts and he's ours!

 

Just noticed on Wiki that Astori started his career at Milan...a club that The Don has had close links with...this rumour could definately have legs...

 

Any quotes in English translated from Italian via Mandarin Chinese. If not, this isn't a patch on Saint Gaston!

 

Heard the move is stalling because left-handed Roberto's brother, right-handed Ricardo has taken the Cagliari president hostage because he is having an affair with their sister, ambidextrous Raffaela.

Close the thread, deals off.

here's an article in Indonesian

 

Translated

The Saints speculated goalkeeper Jack Butland ready to give up in order to get Astori services while strengthening the defense in the second half of the Premier League this season. Adkins explains Southampton have rejected an offer for Butland, but he denied having sent a proposal to purchase Astori despite admitting the Italian in the watchlist. "I observed the situation Astori, he's a tough defender," said Adkins. "So far we have not made ​​a purchase offer and have not been contacted Cagliari." "Of course we know the gait Astori, our scouting network in Europe is very good. lot of good players but not means we will make a purchase, "he explained. Astori aged 25, has strengthened Cagliari since 2008 plus two caps with the Italian national team.

 

Thanks...we've apparently turned down an offer for Butland according to my translation. Also says we have not made an offer for Astori (boring!).

Does Cagliari have a crazy Chairman because that is where the humour came from.

 

How exciting. l miss the Saint Gaston thread.

 

For private recreation?

 

'Nigel Adkins Bantah Tawar Davide Astori'

Love that.

 

Good point Fran only just got what you meant. The thread title has to be exactly like Saint Gaston Lambie otherwise the magic won't work!

 

If this works, I'd like you to start Saint Messi and Saint Ronaldo threads please.

 

Mods can you add an exclamation to the title please!

 

Nigel has said we have not made an offer for Davide!...did he deny a move for Gaston!....if not this thread is dead in the water or we may have to keep it going until August.
