Summer 2014 Transfer rumour thread - Part IV

Any of the free agents? Pantillimon?

 

I would definitely take Lescott

 

Bloody hell, this makes at least 4 windows in a row that we've been linked with him. Can we, and the journos, accept that this just isn't gonna happen

 

Yep definitely ....but wage demands will too high for us I think.

 

Actually I'm gonna put it out there and suggest that Astorio isn't even all that, he just has a busy agent. I'm constantly seeing him linked with top prem sides, yet he didn't even make Italy's provisional 30 man squad for the World Cup. You wouldn't expect that for a player generating as much media attention as him.

To me, it looks as if his agent is constantly throwing rumours in the mix, either to get teams to bid for him, or to put pressure on Cagliari to give him a juicy contract. I bet hardly any of these reported teams are looking at Astori with any particular viguour.

 

And I don't think he fits what we look for. We tend to buy young players that can improve.

 

This

 

Defensively yes, but I'm not convinced he's comfortable on the ball enough for our passing out from the back.

 

Boruc could give him lessons

 

Just thinking.... (It's ok, I've taken some pills ) is there any chance that Evra signing for another year at United could mean Saints are saying, "Come back next summer?" If Luke has indicated that a move to United would suit him, maybe we've said that maybe another year would do him more good with us and 'promised' him he can go next year if we haven't made the giant leap?

 

Too ugly for Fran's liking.

 

I was told he wanted to stay one more year(told a few people on here). But then Utd made a big bid and it looks like it has changed his mind. They would use Evra and Shaw in 19 games a season in the Prem. Rotating each one every game.

Shaw betting has been suspended on all betting sites(as far as I can see).

 

Yeah, I think he's gone too. I was reaching for some straws.

 

Yeah I get you

I don't mind Shaw leaving specially for 30m+. It's Lallana and Pochettino I want to stay(more Pochettino).Hopefully Chelsea get involved and make final fee even bigger.

 

Could tolerate Shaw playing for any team but United. Smug bastards.

 

I'm very much ABU, but if he does go, I think that's the best place for him.

 

I'm afraid I would have to stop wishing him well if he went to United...nothing would make me want them to succeed. Never felt that about Walcott or Oxo at Arsenal.

 

Ha ha, hardcore ABU

 

I no longer work with United fans, but the scars run deep.

 

wrong thread.
