Summer 2013 Transfer Rumour Thread

Or Astori has dropped interest in them.

 

West Ham talking to Ambrosini about moving to them. How old is he now?

 

Hopefully would be great to sign Astori.

 

We can and need to do better than him now.

 

In addition to Ambrosini, West Ham are also in talks with Razvan Rat.

 

He's pretty good on FM.

That's all I know about him. Benatia wouldn't have been a bad signing for us.

 

I can't see burnley letting him go for less than J-Rod. He's their top striker.

 

They are more than welcome to buy players aged 30+. Just a short term solution.

 

Anyone interested in Huddlestone? He seems to be one of the players I like that most other fans (spurs mainly) think is ****.

 

I am having this argument on Twitter now. Saying I'd not want to be a WH fan with a buying policy of 30+ 'names' on large wages.

Then the first reply? "Where did Southampton finish?" - Yawn.

 

Pass thanx.

 

I really don't get what everyone doesn't like about him. Good tackler and has decent passing on him. Rocket of a shot too. He dominated us in the 1st half at St Mary's when he was taken off in the 2nd half we really got back into the game.

 

His wages are far to high for his talent.

 

He gets injured a lot, big wages, and the mobility of a three-wheel lorry with rusty wheels.

 

Good point on his wages I suppose, if we're looking at Wanyama seriously then we wouldn't need Huddlestone I guess.

 

You may remember from the summer window, I spoke to someone who told me Yoshida had signed and about the details of the Gaston deal in advance of the formal announcements...

...well a user on SaintsWeb known as Crab Lungs (Ben) I know speaks to the same person at SFC, and he posted this up over there...


* Cortese wants Europe within 2 seasons
* He's going to splash to cash both on and off the field
* Firstly, expect a couple of big signings (don't know when, but he's going to really go for it)
* £1m will be spent on revamping the corporate/media side of things to be aligned with European football, for example, the ground must have 40 different camera angles for European matches (I don't know the rules/regs on this, but that's what I was told)
* If we qualify for Europe the stadium will be expanded, with an additional tier added to the Kingsland.


Not heard anything myself but haven't pestered the guy at all myself..... yet. May have to drop an inbox in the next 2 or 3 weeks.

 

Ask him if we're getting a new PA system it's ****.

 

Hahahaha. I've not checked it out myself but I'd assume if Crab Lungs has posted it that it's probably accurate.

 

This, Rodriguez's transfer fee is probably the best marker you could ever have for how much Austin would set you back. Rodriguez seems to be one of the most well rounded personalities in football, whereas every account I have heard of Austin has been poor. Pass.

 

Great passer, but doesn't offer a lot else and moreover I can't see him being able to adapt to the physical requirements of our pressing game.
