According to the Daily Mirror Man U are looking at offering Marcos Rojo in part exchange for Fonte. Have you heard anything Eds and would fellow Saints fans be happy with a deal like that. I for one wouldn't as I think Fonte is the heart and soul of the team and could be in big trouble if he leaves.

{Ed001's Note - not heard a thing on that.}

In his heart he wants to stay but the Ferrari and swimming pool probably appeals more . I think Saints will rebuild this season and finish around halfway ready for a big push again next season.

Can't see how Rojo would fit at all. no where near good enough for the first team and wouldn't be willing to be sitting on the bench for us.

We wanted to sign Rojo after the world cup before he benchwarmed at United. I do rate him, don't believe he was given a chance at United.
Nowhere as good as Fonte. Also, originally a LB. He's not physical enough for Prem. Specially because we have two of the best CBs in the air.
If this did go through we'd be replacing Fonte with someone who doesn't have the same attributes as him.
But we've already made 60mil in the transfer window and spent a little less than 30. If the board are doing to Puel what they did with Koeman then he'll get the transfer money to spend. So he has at least another 30mil to spend.

He had a Ferrari but didn't like it . Has a Bentley and a range with his swimming pool. He's been offered a pay rise closer to £90k a week, on around £70k now. Don't think it's the money more the stature of club. But as we are both playing in the same competitions this year it's not a step up in opponent. Technically it would be less of a challenge as at Utd he would be playing against saints rather than against Utd. Surely to test yourself you need to be defending against ibra/ Rooney/ martial etc.
