Summer 2013 Transfer Rumour Thread - Mk2

If I don't acknowledge it, it may not happen!

 

Ba might not be an impossibility on a loan.

 

Depends whether Chelsea buy another striker this summer.

 

There are a lot of rumours around Ba leaving Chelsea, which is surprising given his impact last season. Maybe he's just not glamorous enough for them though.

 

Bueno isn't that bad, it's just the fee quoted.

 

Bueno would be a bit of a coup for us I think, a lot of people seem to think he could be a very, very good player. Worth £8m? Based on his current ability, probably not, but in a couple of years time he could be worth a lot more.

I'd imagine that £8m figure is largely going to be performance-related, so I don't have a problem with it.

 

come on Cambsaint, you know better than to even go on that site, let alone post it over here....

 

Have we bid 20mil for Osvaldo? Been said on here we were interested but wasnt aware of a bid and one that high.

 

Thought MP was on record saying we didn't.

 

No, Poch said he hasn't bid and Osvaldo said he isn't interested even if we did. Probably a good thing anyway, a few better options

 

Yea MP said we were interested, but hadn't made an official bid yet. I thought it was 17M EUROS anyway?

 

LOL - i'm just clutching at straws

Mauricio Pochettino coach of Southampton tries to make a point on the market of the English club.

News of recent days is the supply of Black Cats for Osvaldo to Roma. There is talk of € 20 million?

"Osvaldo is a great player. I've coached at Espanyol, so I know its features. At the time we got information about his situation at Rome, but we have not made ​​any offers, " says interviewed by Tuttomercatoweb.


"We have a clear idea of what may be our goals, but the market at the moment is going very slowly. We are working with a lot of discretion to bring on reinforcements to our team."



Looking also to the Italian market, see the names of Astori and Nainggolan ...

"Of names matched to Southampton have come out many, perhaps too many. Some of them were invented, others do not. Astori, for example, has been tried, but in the end we opted for Lovren, a great player. "



Ramirez will remain?

"He 's happy with us, we are counting on him for next season. It 's normal that many clubs like to see its value, but we do not do case to market rumors. We are planning the next season with him. "


Goals for the next season?

"The president is an ambitious person, and so do we. We intend to improve ourselves, but we do not set points. We will look at every game, from first to last. "

Pretty much, we want a striker.

 

Fair enough, I apologise, must be around £17Million then.

 

Not that it makes much difference as we never bid for him anyway!

 

Yep, right you are. Surely after a big name striker though.

 

Someone on twitter was talking abiut football going mad and quoted us as bidding. Been at Glastonbury for the weekend soo been out the loop. Wasnt sure if it was a new development. I guess not.

 

For Osvaldo? Or for Damiao?

 

Somebody with lots of vowels in their name anyway.

 

Can I just clear up once and for all that he is not saying "reinforcements in pink". In Italian "rosa" can also refer to a list, or a team/squad. He is saying we are working to bring reinforcements into the squad, not in pink!

So please, no-one else is to repeat this awful mistranslation.
