Summer 2013 Transfer Rumour Thread

[Saints Fan4Life]

Yoshida was injured. I think one thing is for sure though, it's pretty tight between our CBs for places.

Was he? In which case, forget what I just said!

But agree ... it certainly is tight between them.

 

[James G]

You think? I would say Fonte was pretty much bottom of the pecking order during Pochettino's part of the season (other than the invisible Forren), as it stands it's one in one out.

We've let one go, if Fonte goes it will be 2. Lovren, Jos, Maya, Astori, Forren - That's 5, but a few can play in other positions so add versatility to the squad (we certainly need that, any injury to a defender and we were a different side last year) and if we do end up with 3 at the back then 5 is the minimum we should have.

 

[MMJ]

If Fonte leaves we'll be getting Astori or another CB for sure. Maybe then everyone can chill out about Lovren.

Not necessarily, we'd still have four cbs. Five seems a bit excessive.

Depends on what formation Pochettino wants us to play next season.

 

[SuperSchneid]

How great would Honda be!

 

[Sotonist]

About as good as Blanka but only in one direction.

Can't see it being anything but a regular back four. You can't really play a pressing game with 3 CBs.

€9m?! If Valencia weren't broke, he'd be going for 20. Get him the **** in.

 

[Beef]

Nah he's ****, we don't need him. He's crap at this and that etc etc.

Ye gods that would be a great bit of business.

Yeah, you're right. Let's find an uninteresting 30 year old with a bad leg but loads of experience in the Prem, instead.

Something is lacking here...

[MMJ]

surely there will be numerous other clubs in for him at that price

 

[Mr_Saintly]

I don't want to get my hopes up, because I know it's not going to happen but holy crap, that would be amazing.

 

[JDub]

No chance. At all.

 

[Dan]

I just can't see it happening. As others have said, if he was going at that price then far better teams than us would be in for him.

 

[sharpshooter11]

Don't want Banega.. We have Steve Davis and Guly...

 

[Mr_Saintly]

No chance. At all.
