News of recent days is the supply of Black Cats for Osvaldo to Roma. There is talk of € 20 million? "Osvaldo is a great player. I've coached at Espanyol, so I know its features. At the time we got information about his situation at Rome, but we have not made ​​any offers, " It 'clear that looking for a striker, anyway ... "We have a clear idea of what may be our goals, but the market at the moment is going very slowly. We are working with a lot of discretion to bring on reinforcements in pink. " Looking also to the Italian market, see the names of Astori and Nainggolan ... "Of names matched to Southampton have come out many, perhaps too many. Some of them were invented, others do not. Astori, for example, has been tried, but in the end we opted for Lovren, a great player. " Ramirez will remain? "He 's happy with us, we are counting on him for next season. It 's normal that many clubs like to see its value, but we do not do case to market rumors. We are planning the next season with him. " Goals for the next season? "The president is an ambitious person, and so do we. We intend to improve ourselves, but we do not set points. We will look at every game, from first to last. " DTLW
Nah, this is worthy of its own thread as the rumours thread is rather laborious to trawl through via my phone (far too many pages with far too much "non rumour" discussions!).
They may have done, and received a strict no comment. There's got to be a conspiracy in there somewhere, Peach is the only guy with actual contacts who makes information public and he's not said a single word.
It's almost Omerta-esque isn't it! No, as I mentioned before, I don't think the current relative quiet is necessarily a bad thing at all.....
