The Sporting rejected the new proposal by the Southampton Marcos Rojo. After turning down an initial offer of 12 million euros, the green and white SAD received via the Doyen Group, an entity that controls the investment fund that owns 75 percent of the economic rights of the athlete, new onslaught of English club, which decided to up the ante to € 17 million, but the company that manages the green and white soccer admits abdicate threshold of € 20 million that established the threshold for first place in the sale of rights to Rojo concerns

So €20m or £16m
 
Three things:

1. Is he good enough CB for them or are they signing a World Cup finalists left back as well as a 30m one?
2. There will be a time when LVG will try and out do Ron
3. For us to sign a World Cup finalist would be a mega achievement, so u wouldn't be surprised if he ended up at a bigger club rather than us.


I thought Van Gaal had already done Ron over, by advising de Vrij to sign for Lazio (was it them?).

Van Gaal is outstripping Mourinho already on this season's "comedy villain" stakes. When the two play each other, it's going to be really quite entertaining methinks.....
 
Typical of dealings involving South American players..why do we bother with all this hassle? It's not like our dealings with South American players in the past has ever paid off.
Let's stick to UK and EU please
 
Our ESP last season was young, English players. We are moving away from that, though not by our own choice. Hopefully, if we get through the next season or so, a new batch will appear. Until then of course, Wenger has promised to provide the England team<doh>

From 'Right sider' on SaintsWeb:

Bumped into Les Reed in the car park this morning. Asked him how the trip to Portugal went. He replied that it was a night mare. I asked if that meant bad news. He said Unfortunately yes. Lots of politics, they never wsnted to sell and the lads got lots of mafioso surrounding him. I asked if the holding company was a problem. They certainly got in the way of things.

I then asked if there are others. Got a few lined up. Bit of a hurry really that's where I am going.

Never been Itk before. Just telling it like it happened.

Hmm, I'm sure Les Reed strolls around the car park waiting for fans to come up to him so he can spill the beans as much as possible. I don't think we'll get Rojo, mainly due to recent reports, but I doubt Reed would say anything in regards to transfers coming in and going into that much detail...

Happened to me before, but not with Reed.

Think it happens a lot more than people expect. I remember sitting with Gareth Southgate at the Norwich game last year and he told me his first squad! Also told me which younger players would be bypassing the under 21s. Most of these guys love chatting to fans under less pressurised circumstances
 
I've just been on to the other forum, and it is amazing how many dismiss this post. Why would this guy make this up, and really, why wouldn't a Saints director talk to a Saints supporter in our stadium's car park?

One person went on to say that reed said that RK doesn't rate VVD.
