Looks like Borini is staying to help add depth and hopefully a different 3rd option upfront next season.

Yes please

Think it may take a bit more than £18m to get Sanchez, not sure about Shaqiri, amazing potential and i can see Bayern wanting to keep hold of him for a while longer to see how he progesses.

True about Sanchez. Would be a steal for that and reckon we'd have serious competition to sign him if he was available for it.
Hard to say what will happen at Barca now, the new manager might not want him, but as you say the competition would be fierce to get him
proper rumour that one... huge name, exciting foreign talent, the fee is patetitcally small... just the kind of thing to start jaws a flapping.
Everyone knew martno was out over a month ago. barca's plans are set in stone but i sincerely doubt they extend to giving bargain prices like that!
borini is not a great option.. thats just talk... he misses far too many. i don't mind his basic game par se, and he's got a little pace true but he misses far too many... in short if sunderland have spare cash as in 11mil+ i'd sell the guy so fast he's head would be spinning.
anyway seeing diego is not camped out here.
everyone in manchester does realise that Sagna is an injury prone, old man who's legs are going to go in about 3 months right???? wtf is the story with city and utd offering up to 7mil/year =125/130k per week to this guy??

I agree with this. I think Borini looks good, but he is the kind of player you would start due to his general game / work rate.
He is not the kind of striker you bring on to change things up / add some flair / get a goal.
10M for Emre Can from Bayer Leverkusan according to Bild. Apparently replacing Lucas who'll go to Inter for same fee.
Lucas denies any knowledge of any deal.

nothnig like kuyt, 50% the work rate, 5% the toughness... sorry but i like the guy in that he gets in good places and has a decent touch etc but he misses a shedload too.
Quite a few people saying that we're looking to buy a goalkeeper to replace Migs as number one because he's not impressed enough this year and there are still concerns over his distribution. If our top target (no idea who, but last summer it was Begovic, before we had to settle for Mignolet) is available for a decent fee, we'll buy him. Alot depends on how cash is there though.
Before anyone asks, it's highly unlikely that Reina would return to be first pick. He's burned his bridges with the club after last summer and won't be coming back.

Weshould never buy a player with sole purpose of being a back-up. By the same token, we shouldn't be buying someone with the intention of demoting a existing player to "back-up". Obviously, we should be buying players that improve the first team so, in theory, they become first choice but in no way should a player ever be guaranteed first choice status. We should be aiming to have competition for places, inevitably some battles will be more clear cut than others, particularly goalkeepers.
Should clarify, when I say 'quite a few people', I mean people who say that's the news coming out of the club, not just wishful thinking by fans.
I think mingolet need to improve but we'll see. i'd rather spend 3-5 mil on an average to good keeper with a view to mingolet improving than spend 10 mil on someone to compete... why? cos anpther full year of mingolet doesn't scare me but an injury for 3 months with brad... i can't concentrate for 10mins jones playing does.
like i said during the week. get a good un thats older and available rather than a randomer
I think LFc might well have 60mil but thats not going to go that far.

Emre Can and Shaqiri for around £25-30m or 1 Adam Lallana. I know which deal I would rather have.
If we can pull it off, then I think this pair would be on par with the Sturridge and Coutinho signings. Amazing potential.
And Lovren for £20m - jesus christ, when will we learn.

I agree... i mean if you even believe the crap about sanchez its can and shaqiri or sanchez for lallana money.
as for 20mil for lovern... its a joke.
reality will set in down southampton way but only if the press talk is not fake but actually rooted in reality. if the manager goes belief goes and if you are at a midtable club (which is where they finished after all) do you hang round to be come a relegation club or do you go.... its self fulfilling... either you are on the up or its every man for himself.... so unfortunately the board room turmoil they went through and unknown managerial situation has knocked the stuffing out of their real momentum of 12-18months ago.
Its never nice to see a good honest club like southampton who have years of development and effort put in especially in player development be knocked about like that
bild is about as accurate as our newspapers, that is to say... when i see him leaning on something i might actually beleive it.... especially when a player is mooted as being both a left full and an attacknig midfielder. sorry but doneky bale is a one off who'd short career will burn out with his pace... i'd rather have a left full who's a left full or a midfielder who's a mideifleder thanks!
We have though been reported to be scotunig at leverkusen for quite a while on different players so who knows... lets see the lean.
Good, hopefully it can increase interest for other Germans. On that note, how is Yesil doing these days?
