Saints transfer rumour thread

There will be a few players hoping to impress the new manager and hoping they fit his style better than they did with Nigel. However, the first team really picks itself, so their best bet is making an impact from the bench.

 

Well, he has a chance under the new gaffer, just hope he takes it, would be like a new signing......

 

Im starting to think Mayuka just had a lucky tournament and doesn't possess true skill

 

He's only young though, at the moment I see a bit of the De Ridders in him, but still plenty of time to make his impact and I'm sure he'll play in the second half of the season. Little way to go yet before we can call him the 85th best in the World though.

 

I don't agree. He looked very good second half against Spurs when he came on. Confident and quick on the ball, was beating players and had a good end product. Was also good against Villa when he came on, won a pen I think. He just needs a bit of consistency and for that to happen he'll have to playing well in training to start getting more game time.

 

He could have done with not going to this tournament whilst everyone else is bonding (though I'm sure he wanted to play for his country).

 

Doh

 

I thought that Mayuka would have got a lot of playing time in the ACON and woud have found some form to take back with him. Sadly Zambia are out at the group stages and he only started two of those games, sounding like he made little impact.

Southampton made a very relevant bid for Zarate. Lazio president "We received an important bid(didn't mention team),let's see if he'll refuse"

 

You are rapid....like silly quick!

 

Thx babez.

 

It's ridiculous how quick you are DTLW, are you ever off twitter?

 

I use an app. Basically, I have my 'normal' Twitter with EVERYONE I follow on.

Then a select few are listed in my 'inner circle'. Tancredi is one. Basically means I get an update to the phone if he tweets something.

So, I just have a quick look - and bingo!

 

DTLW is Tancredi.

It just wouldn't be a Saints rumour without....

 

Ahh, that does at least explain it for the less tech savvy of us. Thanks for keeping us updated!

 

Tancredi Palmeri on Twitter:

"Not Southampton but Dynamo Kiev the team bidding for Zarate according to Sky Italy"



End of rumour.

 

Would rather not sign Zarate on a permanent deal...he's immensely talented, but he's also entirely insane. And not a lovable Boruc sort of insane.

 

They can't really want Coutinho, Zarate, and Ince can they? Talk about telling Downing/Sterling in one go that they've gone from 1st/2nd choice to 4th-5th choice in their positions in one go!!

 

Agreed, loan only please!
