    Saint Leandro Damião da Silva dos Santos would be better, let's have a poll.

    As did I, but so many "It's on, we're talking with his agent!" "Ooooh another team coming in!" stories popping up seemed very Saint X-esque

    Napoli are linked with everyone under the sun right now. But if they want him he'll go there.

    Anyway, I really can't see us signing Leandro Damiao.

    Ha, seriously though. Why would a Brazilian international striker want to sign for a club in their 2nd consecutive Premier League season...

    To think that I've just praised the little killjoy whipper-snapper in a previous post. I take it back..! :)

    Ok here's a possibly controversial one: For similar money, I'd rather sign Benteke than Damiao. Please limit your abuse to 100 characters or less. :)

    Boooooooo! We are Southampton we sign who we want!

    Subject to agent fees, club's reputation, wages, geographical location and lack of European football.

    There shouldn't be any abuse, that's not really controversial. It's up for debate, but would only be sneered at by people who've not seen Damiao play.

    I wouldn't argue with that.

    Good on him, clearly a good keeper and I think he'd do fine in the Championship.

    I'm not really a foreign footballer expert (never signed him on FM), I think both are great players, Benteke would be "safer". But I doubt he would be that interested in moving here. Surprised that he hasn't really been linked away yet, he would be a perfect signing at Spurs. Big price tag, kind of wonder if Villa should cash in and reinvest.

    I saw a link with Athletico very early in the window, but haven't heard anything since.

    Edit : Just had a look on a Villa forum and they are still expecting a move to Athletico for about £20m, they must be waiting for Monaco's cheque to clear!
