Aaron Giambattista - Italian football writer in New Orleans:

"Southampton are a smart club. There are bargains to be had in Italy. Great talents at reasonable prices. (Ramirez/Astori great examples)"

I can't believe teams like West Ham haven't exploited Italy as well. Actually I can believe it as their owners are Gold and Sullivan and the manager is Allardyce. None of them have ever heard of Italy! :D
 
Very lucky for us that we have a chairman with great connections. And that Italian football is in the ****ter.

Come on FFS. East End pornographers and a rather ugly gum chewing northerner? They don't even know where Europe is.

They only ever visit Blackpool and Sarfend for their holidays.
 
I think it also demonstrates we have money and we have an eye for proper talent.

Now, where are those people who wanted Dawson from Spurs...

It certainly does demonstrate we can afford it and that we have an eye for talent. I am sure Ramirez coming here from Serie A has helped with Astori buying into what we are building here. Sounds like we just need to agree the fee now!
 
Nixon is convinced Saints are still chasing Butland this window, and that Butland will not be involved for Birmingham tomorrow.

Saw a Birmingham fan mentioned that Butland took extra long applauding the fans on their last game... not that it necessarily means anything, just an interesting thing to point out.
 
Not so great here in Milan. They do have a tube though, and a whole lot of shops. Haven't bumped into Astori yet, probably because Nicola has already got to him...
 
Napoli officials are meeting with Siena on Monday to close the deal for centre-back Neto.

They have seemingly pulled out of the Astori deal, leaving him to come to Saints. (we all hope)
 
Adkins might have meant that one of the three present GK's will be the starter for the rest of the year and he doesn't think a replacement is needed.

But Cortese could still be pursuing Butland because he might be dirt cheap with Birmingham desperate for money. If you liked Butland for 6 million pounds in the summer, why wouldn't you like him for 5 million pounds with an extra half season of experience? I don't think it would be a bad signing.
 
If we sign Butland, does it mean Adkins has no idea what is going on or he is a lying toad?

Adkins has no clue with many of our signings, in and out. He denied Yoshida days before he signed, and has said on numerous occasions nobody will be leaving the club, despite Sharp & Hammond both leaving.
