Seen the leandro Damiao rumours and love it would be amazing just think its funny people who say it will take the pressure off lambert, I'm sorry but he would take Lamberts place.

He can play on the wing as well though can't he?

2.) 29 Jun 2013
Totally agree he will take lamberts place. Don't really see damiao as a wide player not the quickest but he nos where the net is. COYR

I would love to imagine that we might buy any player who would offer more overall than Rickie Lambert, unfortunately his place will only be taken when he is not fit to play! The contribution made to the team by one player, in terms of vision, strength, accuracy of pass, and of course great finishing with his right foot and his head would be near impossible to replace, that's if you ignore the 31 penalties taken 31 scored!

Damiao won't come to Southampton. These sort of rumors are not positive things for the club. Like most of the players we have been 'linked' with he has been the subject of well reported interest from large clubs. I would have hoped during last season the scouting network would have identified less well know flowering talent that could be snapped up early and cheaply and moulded to become top Saints players.

He's also 6ft 2ins like rickie

Damiao is actually very quick.

It's all very well people saying 'he won't come to Southampton' about this post and other high profile targets, but the same nameless posters were saying the same about Gaston Ramirez last year.

Regarding Damiao, it was a Saints player that took football to Brazil - so I guess for any Brazilian, Southampton would hold a certain something.

Remember Mark Lawensons word regarding the potential Ramirez signing? "It will never happen"

WTFILN?

I believed in the Ramirez saga. But I have my doubts on this. But I really really hope I am proven wrong.

9.) 29 Jun 2013
Last summer people laughed when we were linked with Clyne, they laughed harder when we were linked with JayRod and they split their sides when the Ramirez stories came out. We have been linked to some serious big guns this summer. I don't suggest we will get all or indeed any of these, just that I do sense that the haters may well be silenced before the end of this window. This is an altogether bigger, bolder, more financially stable and ambitious southampton fc, mock us at your peril. COYS!

How you can compare Clyne and JayRod to Damiao is beyond me.

11.) 29 Jun 2013
Think what the guy is getting at is at the time clyne was linked to utd and jay rod was attracting interested from everton and we got them both! he's not comparing clyne and jay to damiao he's mearly comparing the situations.

12.) 29 Jun 2013
I'm not comparing Clyne and JayRod to him, quite obviously? I'm making a point about other supporters perceptions of our capabilities in the transfer market and the move away from southampton being a selling club to a progressive, ambitious one. How did you not get that?

13.) 29 Jun 2013
There is no way he will come to us. We are just being mentioned so he can get a better deal else where. We are no where near to signing players of this calibre.

14.) 29 Jun 2013
He knows where the net is but has no idea where Southampton is, lol

15.) 29 Jun 2013
As neymar has just signed for barca why don't saints put in bid for pedro good player right age and probably available at good price

16.) 29 Jun 2013
I don't ever remember people laughing at the prospect of signing JRod. We tried to sign him the season we were promoted to the Championship, and yet nobody really laughed then either.

We got ourselves a bargain in Clyne, but the same again. It's not unusual for Championship prospects to go to newly promoted clubs.

Ramirez on the other had, I agree completely.

17.) 29 Jun 2013
Personally I think Saints are not used to theses sort of links. If there is any truth in these rumours we should be proud! It certaintly looks like we are going in the right direction.
When was the last time we were competing for players the top six were looking at. This season is certainly up for grabs. We made a good account of ourselves with all the top teams at home last season.
If we sign players that are not greedy and looking for a fresh challenge we could seriosly

18.) 29 Jun 2013
I clearly remember Newcastle fans finding it hilarious that we had the audacity to be interested in a player heavily linked to them (Clyne).
JayRod was also linked with Everton and a couple of other prem sides. Based on this few outside of Southampton believed we had the money to compete for his signature. There was silence when we got him and then when Gaston signed with his record fee, jaws dropped. As someone said earlier it is down to a general ignorance of the details of clubs outside of the top 6.

19.) 29 Jun 2013
Following from my last post where I didn't spell seriously right!
We could definitely be top 6 material. We have the finance, kit deal and sponsor to take this Club to the next level.
We just need all these potential players to believe in our project!

All this talk about damiao being to big for southampton is rubbish don't get me wrong he is a good player but 28 goals in 72 games is not a very good ratio so is don't get why he's so sought after

21.) 30 Jun 2013
First of all, there was a lot of interest from Tottenham and at the moment I think they might have the upper hand on us over Damiao. Also, we can't just kick our all english, class strikeforce of Lambert and Rodriguez out of the team
