Summer 2013 Transfer Rumour Thread - Mk2

It's something he only needs to do with one or two as well - once they're in, it becomes an awful lot easier to get the next tranche.

 

Napoli have had their bid for Damaio turned down according to the Metro.

 

If the Wanyama deal goes through for the reported £11-12million - that will take Liebherr's spending on transfers to £66million (give or take) since they've been here.

 

I don't think this is their money, the club is fairly sustainable at this point. I don't see any evidence that we've spent beyond our means in recent years on transfers, especially with the Oxlade-Chamberlain money.

 

Well yes I could of worded it better, but that's around what we have spent. It's not too bad, will be interesting what the total will be on Sept 1st.

 

So Friday 11th could be a huge day. Victor and Luke signing on the same day maybe! Would certainly grab a few headlines!

 

Friday is the 12th.

I reckon Wanyama will be announced either tonight/tomorrow, and Shaw will either sign on Friday or Monday.

 

Thursdays [tomorrow] have become a recent tradition with Saints.

 

We seem to like Fridays too, our last three transfers have been announced on a Friday.

 

OK, so that's the very latest tradition [I'm trying to satisfy fans here who believe we shouldn't bugger about with traditions], Friday it shall be. Unless it is today or tomorrow, of course.

 

I generally agree although it has to be said that (so far) we haven't been that good at moving on unwanted players. Obviously the promotions and the wage increases that have come with them haven't helped so that may change.

 

Leonardo has just resigned.

 

Negredo closer to joining City, which could force Jovetic to Napoli forcing Damiao to change his focus?

 

I think our rapid rise will have caught us out in more ways than one. Playing staff would have changed in each window but maybe in a slightly more purposeful way. Can't be easy to predict who will do well with such a swift change of circumstance for the club.

 

We're probably offering club and Damiao more, so if Napoli have had a bid rejected then can see us still being in with a decent chance of getting him

 

Just dreaming but what if Chelski bought Benteka they would have a surplus of forwards. Perhaps Pouch could have a word with his mate The Special One to let us have that youngster Lukaku who would only sit on the bench. If we had him and Banega then am sure I would get a crick in the neck looking up the league instead of the usual pain in the arse looking down.
Just been woken up by a man in a white coat!

 

If Chelsea sign Benteke their forward line would be scary!

 

TSS has asked to set a Mk3 thread up so move over to http://www.not606.com/showthread.ph...nsfer-Rumour-Thread-Mk3?p=4990930#post4990930
