Summer 2014 Transfer rumour thread

Southampton are preparing a summer move for Real Madrid teenager Cristian Benavente, [football] direct news understands.
The playmaker has emerged as a stand-out talent in the La Liga giants’ Castilla academy, winning rave reviews for his performances for the youth side in the second tier of Spanish football.

 

Southampton could make a move for Manchester United left-back Alexander Buttner, [football] direct news understands.
The Saints are on the lookout for possible replacements for Luke Shaw ahead of the summer transfer window, with the talented 18-year-old being linked with a move to bigger clubs.

 

I bet Man United will offer him in a swap deal.

 

Buttner's chance of coming here has increased now Nicola has left...I could understand if NC was pretty pissed after the runaround he gave us. However, just because we wanted him then doesn't mean that MP would want him. We play a different game now. I desperately want Luke to stay at least another season...obviously for our sake, but also for his as well. So many players go backwards initially at a bigger club...playing fewer games. Staying here, playing regularly, he will feature in Roy's squad for the European Championship qualifiers.

 

Buttner? Lazy journo. We have two lb's at the club and I can't see Shaw being sold yet. Unless he asks to leave, which I can't see either.

 

Has anyone any evidence that this web site has ever got a Saints rumour correct?

 

Nope but they have a new transfer rumour for 90% of Prem teams a week!

 

Funnily enough that rumour makes the most sense of any of them......

 

Which one?

 

Sorry, the Football Direct News one about Benavente. Profile, age, position etc.

Looks promising, though "we've scouted him" hardly means anything these days.

What are you trying to say?

 

Let's sign Pierre-Michel Lasogga...we need a German with a French name to complement our Frenchman with a German name.

 

£15m + Hernandez for Shaw.

Discuss.

 

We need a.... wait, I can't remember...














Oh yes, a striker.

 

If Targett is as good as they say it's a deal!

 

Don't know why people keep on going on about getting rid of Shaw. Why not keep him and buy players as well? Why weaken our team in one area to strengthen another.

 

Lukaku.
