If negotiations start now, we should be done by the January transfer window. Excellent work from Cortese!
 
I'm trying not to get to excited through fear of spontaneously combusting, would never have thought we would be in with even the slightest chance of getting a player of this quality.
 
Napoli apparently interested, according to Sky Italy.

That's the way it's gonna be, eh Napoli? Are you trying to wrest control of the title of Team We Inexplicably Battle for Every Transfer away from Liverpool?
 
Would be interesting. Could he or Ramirez be used as a Michu-like #9, I wonder?

If we get Banega, then we might not need to bring in a striker or a winger. With Ramirez and Banega to create openings, you don't need a 20 million pound striker. Lambert will score tons of goals off his instincts and first touch, Rodriguez will create space with his speed and Banega will find him.

If we can't get Banega, I'll take Soldado!

Well we are still after a striker so Pochettino thinks different.

I definitely think we'll still want a striker. We really do need one, as it is Rickie or no one up front. I know there is Mayuka and J Rod, but they can't do the things that Lambert can, so we need a like for like replacement.
 
I read somewhere over the weekend that the Banega move should be completed by Wednesday. His arrival would move our progress forward by a huge step (even though he has quite short legs!).

If this move comes off alone it's a huge sign of ambition. If we get a top striker too I'll have to find my workshop pair of tweezers, so that I can pinch my arm to wait myself up. I mean, it's ridiculous. Saints are two or three quality players away from being a really, really good side in this division.
