Summer 2013 Transfer Rumour Thread

Once Boruc got a regular game and the season wore on, it seemed to become the other way round - we stopped conceding, but the goals dried up.

 

See I put that down to fatigue though.

Rickie Lambert in particular was showing signs of a long hard season that took it's toll. There wasn't enough depth there for us to rest him.

 

Sure enough from what I've been told. Slightly surprised that the press aren't reporting about the player though.

 

I think it will be Bueno

 

Partially true. Mauricio stated that Rickie was struggling with a hip problem that has been troubling him.

I saw an article the other day with some hip specialists and Rickie had provided a quote about athletes dealing with long-term hip issues.

I think both arguments have credence.

 

Which is why we need a new forward!

 

Agreed.

 

Agreed! but we need more defenders as a higher priority! haha

I think we're both right somehow

 

Seems like the John rumours are pretty much exclusively on Twitter, and the earliest I can see was posted by @_TransferMarket. The same person says Guly is attracting interest from Leicester and Millwall.

 

I'd say the goals only dried up in the last six games. We conceded plenty of silly goals in 2013 - QPR, Newcastle and Wigan are good examples. Boruc has nothing to do with it; he's great, but a keeper can only do so much. The back line made me nervous from the first game right until the last.

 

Yep. Reached the same conclusion which is why I added my following comment on it.

 

News now re-doing Ramirez comments about him today.

 

We do need both defence strengthened and attack sharpened, however if I was only allowed to make one signing, then it would be a CB for me.

 

Gotta agree with this.

 

So this player that we're apparently revealing towards the end of the week DTLW, Is he a significant player??

 

You sound reluctant? It ain't that bad agreeng with the old'uns from time to time

 

Yes it is Didn't mean to sound reluctant!

 

There's got to be a chocolate bar song in there somewhere ....

"He comes from very far, his name's a chocolate bar, oh Bueno, oh oh oh"

can someone pass my coat please? It's the old one with the worn patches on the elbow.

 

Yeah I saw those comments. This is what is leaning me towards him tbh, seems unusual for a player to talk so openly about a potential signing. Not sure when the Ramirez interview was done, but if it was at the back end of last week then it ties in with DTLW's source saying the player had signed on Weds/Thurs but Saints were waiting to announce it.

 

Would say so, I guess.
