Transfer Rumours The Summer Transfer Rumour Thread 2016

It does indeed .

I am glad we have a Strong & Healthy Cherry tree , and long may it continue !.....

 

I'm ok with selling Mane for 35+ milion, anything below that fee is a steal.

Invest the money in Embolo and we're back on the horse

 

I'm not disagreeing with you . But I do think Pelle is the better player.

 

Embolo is going to Schalke.

 

I've read all the pros & cons regarding Mane staying or going, which tbh are all fair but in my book if twatbeard = £25M, Mane equates to£35M min (w/add ons) & im being a real cheapskate there. Anything less, I'd go f:;king crazy.

 

If we sell Mane - pitchforks

 

bumbleweasels.

 

I think that too but trying to resist the "big lad up front" stereotype.

I don't know if that kind of player is the future, on the other hand not sure that signing a 3rd copy of Jay Rod/Austin is going to help us much either.

 

Nope, we just move on.

 

What is the latest with oxlade-chamberlain?

 

With you there mate, we need a board with more ambition!!

2013-2014 - 2nd Liverpool
---------------- 8th Southampton

3 players sold from Southampton to Liverpool for £50m

2014-2015 - 6th Liverpool
---------------- 7th Southampton

1 player sold from Southampton to Liverpool for £15m

2015-2016 - 6th Southampton
---------------- 8th Liverpool

 

Not much in it on movement. I don't put Pelle in the mobile category. For me they are close in styles. I am not advocating Benteke, just pointing out that although not necessarily right for our style, Pelle still has been somewhat of a success here.

 

Yep, my point to whoever raised Benteke was that our style didn't suit our current striker really, but he has been a success.

 

I quite enjoy the summers with Southampton, Gives us things to look forward too, Like mass debating over the players we sign and how rubbish they'll be but yet they surprise us and get further up the table. I Think Redmond could be a fantastic winger for us. Few more like him pls.

 

Not saying the board dont have ambition. Indeed there is not much the board can do to stop it. Just saying that it can only happen for so long as the teams that take our players are the teams we are fighting for places. Hope thats clear

 

Estadio Deportivo reporting that we're hoping to sign Vicente Iborra from Sevilla.

West Brom and West Ham have also been watching him.

 

Did not realize that

Did not realize that Chelsea were also interested along with your lot.

 

For CDM yes.

 

Does this re open the possibility of Emery to Saints?? (If only)

 

I don't see him much difference to Clasie. I've seen them both crunch tackle sand both get bundled out the way like school boys.
