Saints January Transfer Window Thread - Part II

Think it would take more than that, £25 million or so I reckon. On a random side note, Lukaku weighs 100kg, or 15 stone 8 pounds, surely that can't be right, isn't that a bit heavy for a Premier League footballer?

 

I think they'd take a straight swap, for precisely the reason Puck suggests. They don't feel they need (or want) Lukaku, whereas they very much need and want someone like Shaw. On top of which, they don't want the likes of City or United getting him, so may feel the need to sweeten the deal.

 

How about buy Lukaku and keep Shaw.

 

How about a free holiday to the pixie fun mountain, where the unicorns are made of caramel and the marshmallow mountain dominates the landscape?

 

Oo oo oo yes please!

 

Did it last summer. Wasn't impressed. Marshmallow Mountain was stale and the caramel unicorns were aggressive. The "chocolate river" wasn't chocolate at all.

 

Is there anything to suggest Shaw wants to leave? Many on here seem resigned.

 

He doesn't want to leave, but our club may cash in on him in the Summer if a club offers something stupid like 30 million, which I wouldn't blame the club for doing really. Shaw recently said on Twitter how he was eagerly waiting for his first Saints goal and that playing for Saints was the best feeling in the world. A while ago, he tweeted 'zzz' after he was linked away from the club.

 

But he's on contract right? So if he doesn't wish to leave he doesn't have to.

 

Southampton have been contacted by Valencia for Osvaldo, according to tomorrow Gazzetta

Tanc

 

I believe they're actually lower in their league than we are, so he might actually consider that a step down. I was going to suggest that we try and trade him for one of their strikers but then I realised I don't really want Helder Postiga.

 

Banega + Pabon, thank you very much.

 

Swap deal for Banega?

 

I'm not sure how good Pabón really is outside of FIFA games, and Banega still seems like a bit of a loose cannon to me. Do we want another of those?

I'd consider Guardado though.

 

I can live with Banega + Piatti though..

 

Banega is a Saint compared to Osvaldo.

 

I'm just keen to sign someone Dan doesn't rate. Someone like Lovren. We've a pretty good hit-rate with that


(Sorry Dan, couldn't resist).

 

I'll do a rabbitspectrum and disappear if I have to keep facing this for the rest of my Not606 career I don't want Damiao and didn't want him in the summer when he was being linked (as I made very clear) so let's bring him in.

 

Spanish press reporting that if we get assurances on any Osvaldo deal, leading to a permanent transfer, we will make a move to sign Carlos Vela before the end of the January window.

That's almost a realistic rumour, come on Dani, jump ship like a good boy.
