Transfer Rumours The Summer Transfer Rumour Thread 2016

No hope not .....he did look good in his DVD though, and that was about it.

 

That goal against reading was decent to be fair to the lad,loads of stories of praet coming to us the last few days, so I guess we can only hope it's him.

 

Then is it Axel Witsel?

 

Another snippet...

Fee agreed with Anderlecht for "young, Belgian midfielder". Player is unnamed but expected to be either Dennis Praet or Youri Tielemans. Agent is already in England to finalise negotiations - announcement if successful can be expected by the weekend or early next week.

 

Fantastic! I'm getting paid tomorrow. As I'm now flush, I'm going to start spuriously paying more for the same stuff I usually get on my weekly shop.

 

No way is it Tielemans. Is it Tielemans? Please tell me it's Tielemans.

But also, Praet would be quite nice. It makes sense, we've been linked. And he is more of a formal, established AMC which we could use. Nothing wrong with Praet at all.

But I want it to be Tielemans.

 

Single handedly won us the runner up trophy with his goal against reading

 

Me too, it would be the savy, clever, choice for a player of his age and talent to chose us.

 

Rumours getting stronger linking us with a 2 million pound move for palace keeper Alex McCarthy.

Not a bad move

 

I heard a rumour that it was Praet a couple of weeks ago, but there was a lot if discussions going on as there was big interest from Seville I think? Really hope LR has done his magic on convincing him to come to Saints. I really like Praet and felt he could have been the final piece of the jigsaw last season.
Very clever young player, who had a couple of very good games against Arsenal in th CL a couple of seasons ago, and is one of the stand out players in the Belguim league? Is also expected to become a regular in the National team this season after Wilmotts got the sack.

 

As long as it isn't Alex Pearce.

I went to Palace opening game of championship years back and we lost 1-4, I'm sure he was CB that day and was terrible.

I quite like Mccarthy to be fair...

 

Interesting. Very interesting.

I think we all need to stand in a circle around a fire, holding hands, and in unison begin whispering 'DTLW, DTLW...' getting progressively louder until you-know-who suddenly appears in a large puff of smoke.

 

Thanks for bringing back memories of that game
Never have quivering hopes for a new season been so quickly quashed. We were quirted.

 

If you stand in front of a mirror and say his name three times he appears....I do it when ever I need someone to clear my garage out, or hide a body.

 

So this is the name being banded around this morning.....not Praet or Tielemans

Southampton have agreed a £3m deal with Anderlecht for midfielder Samuel Bastian. Player to come in today for talks.

 

Didnt Batosz catch a high, bouncing through ball and somehow manage to drop it onto the of Kuchi, think it was just after half time

 

That's great then, we needed more tiny midfielders...

 

Thankfully I can't clearly remember the goals, just the absolute shambles of a defence and being ripped a new one.

 

I see what's going on here, Liverpool were interested in him a little while back. They've obviously asked us to trial him for a couple of seasons before paying 10x the original asking price.

 

Wow, that's a bit deflating. Don't really see the point of this when we are full of CM and not exactly a place that needs strengthening with a lad who has not played many games for Anderlecht let alone coming into the Premier League?
Is he any better than Clasie, Romeu, Hojbjerg, Davis, JWP, Reed?
