Summer Transfer Rumour Thread.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Very Pleased I Love chaplow

 

It's not an outright denial though.

 

Though he did, a week ago, say outright there had been no bids. Now this very hot Southampton rumour comes in and it turns to "no comment".

 

It is a lot of money, but it really depends who else we sign. If we pick up a couple of free agents, £7m on 1 player isn't unreasonable

 

We were told that we hadn't even spent the money set aside for us to get into the PL, never mind the money for the PL. However, Cortese doesn't panic and doesn't throw money about. He will spend what he has to, but still keep an eye on our financial health. I expect no more than two 'expensive' players plus 3-4 others.

 

what is saints biggest transfer spend?

 

£4m on Rory Delap... love to see that wiped from the record books!

 

Is there a list if players that are available on frees?

 

Rory Delap - £4.2M from Derby.

 

Well I know hoilett,clyne,Diane are all on frees.. Wouldn't say no to any

 

hoilett would be brilliant, but no chance.

 

I thought jay rod wanted high wages last summer? That's why it hit a snag? What has changed?

He hasn't agree terms yet (if story true), but presumably we are talking PL wages now. I suspect the new contracts the senior players signed include an automatic increase in wages next season. He was possibly offered a similar contract, but didn't want to take the chance that we wouldn't get promoted. Sorry, piling supposition on top of supposition.

 

The alan nixon fella said that a bid was never accepted last summer.

 

Fair point dan haha

 

Isit just me that's thinking 7mil is to much?

 

If we don't offer enough and miss out on someone we want, some fans suggest that we lack ambition. The price of anything is what you can get for it.

 

Jelavic cost Everton 5mil, Rodriguez is only costing so much because he is english and young. It's a hell of alot of money for a player unproven in the prem.

 

Jelavic cost so little as Rangers were screwed financially, and also still owed Everton money from a previous deal. On top of that he wasn't proven in England at all beforehand.
