Summer 2014 Transfer rumour thread - Part II

Diego is just made up. We looked into him(in the past) but never made a enquiry.

 

I think that was just one Saintsweb guy who got incredibly wound up and tried to complain to the BBC. But it might have been a really elaborate wind up.

 

That would be four time as it was twice in the one post

 

And what price would that be? Max £1m for me and in terms of wages he should only get a piece-work contract based on how many times he passes to a team-mate. Ball greedy players are not what we want at Saints.

 

I agree with one little caveat; I'd like us to sign someone who can be direct at the right time. Jayrod really is the only one who just drives straight at a midfield or defence and it causes all sorts of problems. I don't want Townshend, but another direct player could be good.

 

Puncheon.

 

Punch didn't do it direct enough for me, not direct enough week in week out.

 

He wanted to move closer to his family. I am glad we let him aswell.

 

Sure, but it's not like South London is a million miles away, and we have missed him at times. I hope we put up more of a fight for our other players, let's put it that way.

 

You don't know the situation tho do you? He asked to leave and we agreed it would be what was best for him. I respect the club for doing that.

 

And you're welcome to that opinion.

 

DAILY MAIL: Spurs to ask for permission to speak to Pochettino on Monday.

 

I think it may have been said tongue-in-cheek, but I must admit I'm erring on the cautious side in my judgement there. Perhaps JFb can explain..?

 

Do they actually need permission?

 

Well they won't get mine!! God, can't we just be happy for longer than a minute!

 

He's under contract? or were you being sarcastic?

 

I'm nearly beginning to feel sorry for Sherwood.

 

Saints to announce Pochettino's contract extension on Monday.

 

As a commentator said, 'It's beginning to look like anyone but Sherwood.'

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's not a player so can't be "tapped up" can he? Free to talk to anyone at any time, and only needs to give his notice and pay off his contract to leave. Never understood this idea of other clubs asking for permission to talk to managers.
