Transfer Rumours The 2015 Summer Transfer Window Thread

[Le Tissier's Laces]

It's blatantly true, but is more than a sniff of agentsm and PR at work here. The bid was last week, and now hits the news this big - to disguise the fact that Man U got owned by Chelsea for one; and his agent is clearly going to take advantage of that situation.

In a world of other clubs having Payets, Monteros, and Shaquiris, we need to keep him.

Or we go out and buy our very own Payet/Montero/Shaquiri for half the price.

Saints meant to be making a statement this evening about the United bid.

Hopefully it will consist of two words, the second of which is 'off'.

 

[Pelletron]

There is simply no quicker way to play for Man U or Chelsea than signing for Saints. It's at times quicker than signing directly for Man U or Chelsea.

We'll end up getting Redmond on Deadline day.

We can easily afford to buy such a player now, though, without selling Mane to do so.

Don't get me wrong, I really, really don't want him going anywhere. But if (big if) he does, we'll just have to get someone like Thauvin like Newcastle are doing, plus 12m in change to get Austin/Praet/Tielemans.

 

[Osvaldorama]

Hahaha, guys whatever you do, don't go on Saintsweb

 

[manxsaint]

If he was to be sold, after a great first season, and only 23 years old, it would have to be a bid of £30 million or so to get him.

Call their bluff - £40 million at least and sell on clause.

SFC announce Mane not for sale. Thank f*** for that.

Yeah. I just don't like this trap where, to acquire players of real quality, we feel that we need to first sell off our best. The money's there without doing so, if we're willing to spend it.

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Ah, here we go - http://www.skysports.com/transfer-centre/


Though that's a long way from an official announcement I'd say...

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

Sky announced that they have been told by a spokesman.

 

[saintsfcfan]

Would normally be pleased by Saints saying not for sale, but we have heard this so many times recently.

 

[Osvaldorama]

Well that's that then. We won't go back on our word, we have never sold a player after such a definite statement. In reality we've made ourselves look stronger now.

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

I do rather fear "It'sh not playing thish evening becaush it feelsh it'sh head ishn't in the right plaich to play tonight"....

Sky say a lot of things these days.

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

"Southampton Official" could be Bob the programme seller in all fairness.

When?
