Berahino could be fun. Last time we signed someone with a history of smacking his teammates it ended pretty well.
Vargas is available from Napoli. I'd take him (though I reserve the right to change my mind in a weak-willed manner when someone who knows more about him tells me he's actually crap and mad). http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/sunderland-weigh-up-loan-move-4069136
Think Townsend would be a great buy for us but think this deal is all but over unless we give them the Spiderman.
Spurs don't want to sell Townsend, we don't want to sell Morgan. Neither deal with go anywhere both clubs move on.
Maybe Saints was trying to make a point to Spurs, that this is how it feels to not want to sell a player
Got this from the Beeb transfers and gossip webpage: Southampton manager Ronald Koeman wants to make Lazio midfielder Alvaro Gonzalez, 29, his eighth signing of the summer and is preparing an £8m offer for the Uruguay international. Source: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footb...-alvaro-gonzalez-ronald-4067435#ixzz3AgbXitGd Also [and perhaps more thought provoking], in the gossip section lower down: Liverpool striker Rickie Lambert, 32, says that he is surprised that former club Southampton's owners have not faced more criticism over their decision to sell several first-team players this summer. Source: http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2014/08/18/5042381/-? To be honest, I find that view astonishing. What was the club supposed to do..?
Don't take any notice. He's just (however misguidedly) trying to stick up for his teammates, twatbeard and Lovesmen.
That's coz it's cosy with his pals up there,and as we all know their **** don't stink, it's never a players fault.
Why are you lot so quick to disregard Lambert? What he's saying isn't impossible, in fact it fits in with what we've seen this summer. Cortese leaves in January and we get a new board of directors. Cortese, unlike the new leadership, had an explicit goal of Champions League football. Since Cortese's departure, the manager, and 5 key players go. Rickie says that this is because of the lack of ambition of the owner. Everyone who leaves goes to a team who, unlike us, do have an explicit goal of Champions League football. Surely Rickie's claim fits in perfectly with the goings-on of this summer.
The players were going well before Pochettino went. Shaw basically was done around March. Lovren handed in a transfer request the day the season ended. Pochettino played the board(and us) until Spurs approached him, he wanted to go for ages. Players use the "lack of ambition" crap throw away line to try and get some ex fans off their back. Cortese's dream of getting in the CL was just that a dream, a club our size spending only £30 odd mil a season could never challenge the to get in the CL.
Apart from the deals for Shaw, Chambers and Lallana were in place by the time Cortese left. His story doesn't fit within the timeline of events. Even if it wasn't planned back then, would Lallana and Shaw have turned down the move if Poch had stayed? No chance.
So Nicola told the players that our target was Champions League...Krueger could say that as well...does it make it anymore likely to happen. There are bills to be paid...better to listen to the lady who owns the club. I obviously lack ambition...I will state here and now that I intend to win an Oscar in the next three years...is it more likely to happen because I've said it.
RL should concern himself with his new love & leave Southampton FC to sort themselves out. There's no hiding place in the EPL, so we will be able to judge. I think we have taken some big steps in the right direction, Ron being the most important.
