TODAY, FC Porto manager Rui Barros blasted Southampton over what he called a 'blatant attempt' at tapping up Iker Casillas.

During a press conference this morning, the FC Porto boss said that it was 'disgraceful' that Southampton were able to contact the former Real Madrid shot-stopper without first gaining permission from the club.

The statements come on the back of earlier reports that Southampton had a €8 million bid for the player

:bandit:
 
I'm more pissed off with the way this has been handled more than the fact that we are missing out on VVD. Just such an amateur thing to do for a club that's suppose to be 'so big'

Not that bothered about that tbh. All clubs break transfer rules imo, we just got caught this time.

Spending £40m on Van Dickface would have be catastrophic, never mind the £50m-£75m rumours!
 
I agree it's getting that way.

From that statement my guess is Klopp did meet him without any contact between the clubs and the board didn't know about it.

Now they've realised they're bang to rights with an illegal approach, they have been advised to withdraw from it all.
Can't read it any other way. There's no way we'd make such an embarassing statement if we didn't know Soton had us by the googlies.

Exactly.

Why else would you issue a statement apologising to the 'board of directors and fans of Southampton' <laugh>
 
Don't know why you're so chuffed. No bidding war so you'll end up selling him to City for a bag of nuts and an A-Z of Portsmouth.

<laugh>

The bitterness is strong in this one <whistle>

Yeah he will still go, just funny how quickly you lot had to shuffle back with your tail betweem your legs.

Wonder if the board are pissed with Klopp?
