Summer 2014 Transfer rumour thread - Part VIII

I don't think one player can actually 'surround you' Fran, although I expected you'd like him to try

 

Surprised no one reacted to this...was it expected?

 

1) It's her club, she always has financial control. If you're saying that Cortese had to be deposed because he wasn't doing his job as chairman and would continue to defy the owner and possibly sabotage her plans, then yes Cortese had to be fired just like all ****ty employees need to be fired. Not sure how that's a point in his favor.

2) He quit, dude. If he was so vested in the club why did he just quit in the middle of the season? And if money was his primary motivation, then his loyalty would be to his employer who actually writes his paycheck, and not some mythical club concept.

3) We probably had some room under FFP regulations. We can lose 35m every season, so long as the owner injects 35m every season. Probably KL did not wish to do that.

 

Not for me, never heard of a playing going for "work experience" before. The fact we are trying to move him on loan should confirm a centre back will be arriving. Not that I didn't think one would be

 

Thought it would be stephens so a CB must be imminent,

 

Obviously this is a nervous time to be a Saints fan but I guarantee you'll all be happier in a weeks time. I'm hearing Van Dijk, Forster, Redmond and Ings are all in talks with us. I expect them all to happen... with at least two of them done by Sunday.
The club ARE interested in Vlaar as well but Aston Villa will do everything they can to try and persuade him to stay.

 

Adding on to what I said... we also want a left back to be signed before our first game. Kolodziejczak is the only left back we're currently showing a lot interest in from what I've been told.
Personally I'd of had a left back as more of a priority than a keeper.

 

Marcos Rojo

 

Copied from skysports ....

Aston Villa defender Ron Vlaar has admitted he plans to meet with his agent to hold talks over his future. The Holland international impressed with his displays at the back during the World Cup in Brazil this summer as the 2010 finalists finished in third place, leading to speculation over a summer switch.

Come and have a chat with uncle Ron,Ralph ,Les...

 

The Guardian are reporting that we are trying to finalise deals to sign Forster, van Dijk and Vlaar.

 

And you are ????

 

I'd take all three of those right now. Get them in, let's get going again!

 

If they've got boots, sign 'em.

 

Osvaldo news from Gianluca: http://gianlucadimarzio.com/news/inter-stretta-finale-per-osvaldo-i-dettagli-delloperazione/


Mentions us getting Taider on loan, Serie A experts???

 

Media will probably make out he's another one to join the exodus. Sigh.

 

I say: Yes, yes, and yes. Get them in.

 

Saphir Taïder is cool. Covers one of our attacking midfield options.

 

Pablo Osvaldo is set to return in Italy. Inter have speeded up the negotiation with Southamption, which are ready to let the player leave on a cost-free loan with option to buy. Taider is likely to be included in the deal, he should move to England on loan. They are settling the details, the white smoke should arrive in the next hours.

 

So loan for loan or Osvaldo gone for good?

 

Osvaldo-Inter / loan-to-buy
Taïder-Saints / loan-to-buy
