Summer 2014 Transfer rumour thread - Part IV

Chelsea are looking to hijack Manchester United's move for Luke Shaw: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...se-Mourinho-eyes-replacement-Ashley-Cole.html

 

Here's an idea: now that Man U have signed Evra for another season, and they still have Buttner as back-up, what if they buy Luke but loan him back to us for next season? That way, we get another year to bring on Targett as a replacement.

 

I like that plan. Will Spurs lend us MP back as well

 

We don't do loans...

Really wish we would state that we don't sell players either!

 

I don't know what we do and don't any more

 

What makes me laugh, is the same papers who were saying Lallana to the 'pool is a done deal, are now saying he's off to Tottenham?

Makes you wonder about the validity of their sources, or whether it is, as suspected, ****ing bullshit spouted out all the time

 

Cellino has sold Cagliari. Maybe the new guys won't keep such a tight hold on Astori.

 

We should have a thread about him

 

Would anyone take Łukasz Teodorczyk as a cheap, young wildcard signing?

 

Never heard of him.

Yes.

 

Quincy Promes destroying Scotland U21.

 

That is some name!

 

Looks some player to.

 

Don't seem to have any solid interest in players. I suppose we have a list, but are now on hold till the new manager comes in. In the mean time, I presume we have the preseason sorted...training and games arranged.

We should sign this guy.

 

Preseason games are sorted. We play Italy on the 14th June, Uruguay on the 19th June and Costa Rica on the 24th! "We are Southampton, we're off to Brazil"

You don't want to be here Victor, then **** off and close the door behind you. Thanks.

 

Looked like Tommy Forecast to me?

 

Saints Brace Themselves As Liverpool Close In On Tea Lady

They say it must be something in the water is an oft used phrase but allegedly some of the biggest clubs in the country think its something in the Tea.

Saints are bracing themselves for major bids coming in for key employees in the canteen at Staplewood as the top six clubs in England scramble to get the services of the real play makers at SFC, the Tea Department.

Previously football nutrition has been focused on the belief that various protein diets are the key to fitness and well being, but Saints youth academy's success has prompted a study by the University of Typhoo in India to conclude that Saints recent success has been fueled by Tea.

This report brought an immediate response in the media led by Neil Trashcan of the Daily Fail who under the backpage headline of "Meltdown in Tea Department" went on to claim that Liverpool had already tabled a bid for our head tea lady and that she herself disappointed in the lack of ambition shown by those responsible for buying the tea bags was widely quoted as saying she would be off in the summer, Trashcan then quoted ex Chairman Nicola Cortese " Under my watch we always had the best, since I left I believe that the stocks of PG Tips pyramid Tea bags are being depleted and that when they run out next season's squad will have to make do with supermarket's own brand, this would never have happened under me"

Social media sites are rife with rumour, one of the tea ladies was reportably spotted in the Anfield branch of Waitrose browsing the Tea section.

Many supporters are disappointed that their is nothing but silence from the Club, a picture of Ralph Krueger drinking a cuppa from the best bone china would help allay the supporters worries along with a few choice comments about how long it should brew in the pot, but perhaps his lack of response shows that the club are not in touch with the situation.

So far at least 8 members of the first team squad are believed to want away from the club unless they can prove their ambition for next season by making major bulk buy purchases of brand name tea.

England manager Roy Hodgson has also put in his words to the situation stating that he wants no talk of tea in Brazil especially since its the home of Coffee and might offend the host nation.

 

Easy....he'll get over it!
