Saint Florin!

Steaua Bucharest's chairman has confirmed the Gardos to Southampton talk, and has said he can go after their Champions League play-off.

It could happen beforehand, but they're less willing to let that happen.

 

Oh Christ. Not again.

 

Now where have I heard that before...

 

2nd legs are right at the end of August - so might have some waiting to do yet

 

27th August is the Second Leg of their Champions League game Vs Ludogorets.

 

Man, if these clubs hold their ground then we're going to be doing a lot of work in the last couple of days of the window. The dangers of going for players from ****ty CL teams, I suppose.

 

I know absolutely nothing about this dude, though. Never even heard of him. I've decided I'm going to keep it that way. I'm not going to wiki him up or follow this thread to see how he's doing.

Just going to tune in on the first matchday and maybe he's there or maybe not. And if he's playing, it'll be a fun surprise to see how he does. If he's horrible at least it will be amusing. For one game, anyway.

 

You can always watch the Youtube video and convince yourself we're signing the Romanian Cannavaro?

 

With that video and all the Romanian football experts on Twitter raving about him... I have fallen into this trap.

Well, the next Lovren, anyhoo.

 

Just like Delgado!

 

So, we'll have 3 decent left backs but only one right back. What happens if Clyne gets a knock?

 

We have McQueen [Not McQueen, I forget the lad's name] and we also have bid for the young lad at Leeds. It's all in hand.

Jason McCarthy!

 

McCathy appears to have impressed in pre season so let's give him a chance

 

we are allegedly after byram, so him

 

Cork as we have no room for him in midfield. (jk)

 

I know k billy is reliable on Saints web, but is this a done deal. Medical & personal terms done yesterday and the suggestion that this guy is a stand by was just a theory and the truth is we've agreed to complete after champions league qualification?

 

Could do worse actually as, joking aside, you are probably right. Didn't Cork also step in as a CB when he was on loan for us e few years back?

 

Oh, that's so tempting it's practically inescapable.

 

The difference being that this time the club aren't relying on a Youtube video.

 

And is a reference lost on everybody under 1000 years old.
