Summer 2013 Transfer Rumour Thread - Mk4

Oh dear DTLW!

 

Alan Nixon saying that Wigan are in talks with Saints over taking Mayuka on loan. Would rely on us getting a striker in, I guess.

 

Can you really see this?

 

It's logical enough to loan out a young fringe player, but it doesn't seem to be our style. If he goes on loan, like Reeves, Sharp and Lee, you'd have to assume he won't be back.

Wouldn't be at all surprised at Wigan asking the question though.

 

Don't know if he is fringe yet do we?

 

So long as we do bring a decent striker in (and ideally another attacking player), then I'd have no issues with loaning him to Wigan. Top end Championship club, currently with some alright players still on their books. So long as they offer him regular first team football, then great. And in 12 months time, we can evaluate how he's done for them and how he's developed, and whether or not we want him back.

 

I think that's why DTLW said he could see it depending on whether or not we get another forward in.

 

Think it depends on if we get another midfielder as well. If not I can see him on the bench.

 

C'mon guys anyone got a shoddy article... a dodgy translation evn an 'ITK' agent? Guys... Just something. I need my fix. I cant go cold turkey like this

 

Guessing you haven't read a few pages back.

 

Well it sure looks that way, based on last season. Can't base much on friendlies, Sharp played lots last per-season and look where he is now.

That's not to say he won't break into the first team at some point, but you can't really say he's there now.

 

On another note, Alan Nixon claims to have info on Billy Sharp.

Says Sharp is becoming more wanted by the day. Says Celtic's interest is non-existent and Doncaster are just posturing.

Says Burnley want him and are prepared to meet the fee but wages offer is too low at current.

 

I can see him being a sub if our squad stays as it is. Even if we sign another striker I can see him being back up for our wide players. If Banega and Damiao both sign then yeah I can see him going on loan.

 

What wages do you think he's on?

 

When he signed it was supposedly £22k p/w, cos he turned down £28k p/w at Leicester to join us.

Chuck in a promotion bonus and you can't be too far off.

 

Gervinho undergoing a medical ahead of £7m move to AS Roma.

 

So alot for a player who isn't wanted. I just want him to find a good club he's probably one of my fave players in recent times.

 

When is Deano's contract up..? I read he signed for Saints on August 19th of 2009, so unless he signed a long extension, he's in his final days or just over a year to go.

 

We gave him a four-year contract at the start of the Championship season. So he's got another two seasons left.

 

I keep saying it, yet I can't believe a good championship side isn't trying to sign him.
