Summer 2013 Transfer Rumour Thread

Lens' comments are not all that surprising and in many ways understandable. he's an international who wants to remain so and his next move is massive in terms of his progression.

If, as I half expect, we annouce the signings of Buenno and Astori over the next week or so, this should change things a little bit interms of our perception across europe?

For me, signing a young international startet and a much courted international centre back, coupled with what we already have in terms of facilities, management and structure might make players like Lens and others take us seriously when we make a bid. Getting a couple of big signings in early should allow us to relax a bit and will certainly make the sort of players we want to attract sit up and take notice.

 

If he doesn't fancy coming then fine.....we will have other targets on the radar.

 

Are they direct quotes? Or through a newspaper etc. We all know how words can be twisted.

 

Lets be honest. Would you if you were an international, fancy moving country to a newly-promoted side? After 10 games we had 4 points and 8 defeats so at that point he was justified. You wouldn't want to risk leaving behind PSV Eindhoven in turn for a move to a side who could easily be back in the 2nd tier. It's natural and I totally understand it. If we approach him again and sign him - that's great. I wouldn't be bothered about last summer.

 

We aim high with our targets, so are more likely to get knock backs.

 

I've read on saintsweb that we are being linked with croatian defender Dejan Lovren.

All i can say is i dread the possibility of Lovren playen for Saints, he is worse than awful, utterly useless player

and i say that as a croat and a lyon fan

 

Sorry but he's got to be better than Hooiveld.

 

Well, he has worse disciplinary record than Hooi, he concieded more penalties, and he's been elected in to the worst 11 of the Ligue 1.

And ths speaks for itself

Chelsea in for Cavani, apparently.

 

Saints have been in contact with Lyon for Lovren: http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/seri...lovren-avanza-il-southampton-le-ultime-454856

Is he really worth shelling out €10m for?

 

Tadanari Lee is heading back to Japan on a permanent basis apparently. Would be best for all parties concerned.

No.

 

Cortese is on holiday with Mauricio!!!

 

Aston Villa have signed 23 year old Aleksandar Tonev from Lech Poznan.

 

Who the hell is he?

 

Bulgarian international winger, decent player.

 

Aleksandr Tonev from Lech Poznan. He did tell you

 

How many players have we been linked to now?

 

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if this happened
