Hey saints supporters

Has anyone heard of MU interest in Jose Fonte?

Been a few reports we are interested and I'd love it to be true

Cheers.

In you dreams mate. As much chance of Fonte going to Manchester United as of them signing Messi. Two hopes -Bob Hope and no hope. While you guys are throwing money around (still smiling at paying over £100 million for a guy you chucked out a while back) how about £5mill for our tea lady, £4 Mill for our programme seller and £2 mill for our ball boys? Quick before we put them on e-bay. Anyway come on site anytime you want -should have invested heavily in getting fergie back. See the flying swede got a goal yesterday. Can't wait for the EPL defence to get at him. He won't find it easy here and can see him getting a few cards for retaliation. Byeeeeeee.

Sorry dave do you really want to pay 20+ for a 33 year old defender who has about 2 seasons left in him? Your mad you've already paid out 25mill for Morgan who has had such a bad season he didn't make the France squad.

That was nearly funny Dave. See if you're still laughing at the end of the season mate. If you can't stand friendly banter ask mum to take you down the local parks and run off your frustrations. I work with a few Man U supporters and they are not touchy like you. There are quite a few other club supporters and at no time do we retort to insults - still that's the difference between adults and you. Anyway can't wait to see how we fare at Old Trafford 2nd match in. It's live on the Friday night -my prediction ' a draw''

On one hand Fonte is the person who makes the dressing room tick, he looks after new signings plus he takes Saints, the 'Southampton Way' (whatever that is) and the Captaincy very seriously. On the other hand last season he was quoted as mentioning going back to Portugal to the big two and even mentioned the top 4 here in the PL as something you could never say never to. I think the Club have been looking at getting a replacement in for him for a couple of seasons and haven't managed it and lastly exactly what Pony said, may mean Jose would want his last big move of his career to work under a Portugeezer?

I will try and answer your intended question Dave . I don't think for one minute you would try to sign Jose but if you did and offered crazy money to him and our club it just might happen . If Jose left us it would be with a very heavy heart but just like Pelle considering their ages the chance of a massive pay day might be a a difficult chance to turn down . I would never hold that against Jose if that extremely unlikely situation arose but truthfully just can't see it being any more than fantasy paper talk as usual. By the way can we have Morgan back please?

Let's hope les read is not licking his lips again, with the thought of more money going into the bank.

I agree. I would not begrudge Jose a move to one of the mentioned clubs. He has been with us and has been key in our revival. I wouldn't like to see him go. But if he did, this would be the only position I'd say to the club, get a solid big name in.

Just my opinion but come the 13th August Jose Fonte will be out in the middle with the Watford captain. Media have got a bit bored and jumping on any snippets. Still agree that anything can happen and a huge offer might change Saints stance. But I'm confident that Jose will stay. We'll see. Can't wait for the new season to start. Again we will prove the doubters wrong. COYR's.

Fonte can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned. He is a great guy and fantastic player. I'm not surprised that Manchester United are linked, strangely enough I actually hope it's true. The lad deserves to be linked to a big team and it be more than just talk. It would do him the world of good and make him see just how great a player he is. Although I'd be surprised if he did leave saints as he seams to bleed red and white. Fonte, you can do as you please, you will always be considered as important a player to us as Thierry Henry was at arsenal.

The reason I don't want him to go to man u is because all the players that they seem to buy become a complete flop. For a start there's schniederlin, then you've got di maria, falcao, depay, the list goes on and on so I don't think it would be fair on fonte to let him go there.

The Club have offered Fonte a pay rise to make him top earner, plus new contract deals on the table for Cedric and Tadic.

Koeman reportedly offered £9m for Fonte with Utd needing to offload defenders before buying.
