Being reported that we've put in a starting bid of 10m for Austin.

Chippie71

1.) 22 Jun 2015 05:37:20
Should have bought him years ago


2.) 22 Jun 2015 16:36:03
we're definitely not interested in Austin, the club released information to the Echo stating as much.

sounds like this is QPR touting him around to get his price up as well as his agent trying to get him into a bidding war to up his wages.

Shame, think he would be useful


3.) 22 Jun 2015 18:31:03
I don't understand why we would want to bring him in at all. I'm more of a reader than a poster on here but I have to intervene.

OK, he's probably in the top third of English strikers in the PL but we have King Rod coming back, Pelle will play well with him and Mane is hot property. Shane Long is proven PL quality and needs game time to reach his best. I'm not sure about Juanmi, an unknown for me - a gamble, but that's worked before. Unless we are looking to sell any of last seasons forwards, and with Sammy G and M in backup, I think we should spend the money elsewhere.

Just my two penneth.

Oh! And Mayuka when he's fit has great potential, again he just needs game time.


4.) 22 Jun 2015 21:28:36
Mayuka hahahaha. Give over. Couldn't get a game for the u21. Seeger is ahead o him surely.


5.) 22 Jun 2015 21:49:19
Lol mangochutney u really would have mayuka over austin plus jayrod might never rediscover his form after that injury ie Owen, gallagher prob won't make the grade, long will struggle for 10 goals


6.) 22 Jun 2015 23:16:55
Pelle holds the ball up well, so does Austin. Pelle played pretty much every game last season. Gallagher looks good good, he can also hold the ball.
So 3 strikers can rotate that role in a busy season.
other attacking options new and old would all be adaptable to the wings and behind striker.
Can totally see why we would want Austin. It's a good sign that the club will aim to really have a go at the Europe league

Southampton reportedly have deal in place to sign Lille midfielder Idrissa Gueye, according to France Football.

Reports suggest Arsenal and Marseille are both interested in the 25-year-old but France Football claim Southampton have a £7m deal in place and will announce it once Morgan Schneiderlin departs. Ed's, any news on this?

Chippie71

{Ed002's Note - It looks to be correct. Marseille and Southampton have spoken to Lille about Gueye and Southampton are finacially well placed to complete a deal.}


1.) 18 Jun 2015 21:03:34
Correct chippie. I posted this a couple of days ago and got 2 unbelievable ha. The fee of 7m is definitely agreed. This deal may still take a few weeks.


 

 

29 Jan 2015 12:03:05
Looks like interest in Wesley Sneijder has resurfaced.

Chippie71

1.) 29 Jan 2015 13:26:20
This would be fantastic, although most Saints fans have always thought it unrealistic. I'm off work atm and spend most days scouring the internet for news and I haven't seen it.


2.) 29 Jan 2015 14:27:23
It has been alleged by a hit-whoring website but I wouldn't put your front gate let alone your mortgage on there being any truth in it at all. Would be good but don't think so do you ?

Dani Osvaldo has been absent from training for consecutive days and appears to have vanished without informing anyone at Inter.

The player's departure from the Nerazzurri seems virtually certain now, with the Italian oriundo repeatedly left out of the squad and from training with his teammates, following rows with Mauro Icardi and Roberto Mancini.

New developments suggest that the crisis may be getting even deeper, as the Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the player has been absent from training for two days now and his whereabouts are unknown.


A posting on Twitter yesterday retweeted by the player indicated that he had been in Madrid visiting former Espanyol teammate and current Rayo Vallecano man Cristian Alvarez.

However, the Gazzetta say that this visit dates back to the weekend, so Monday and Tuesday’s absence remains unexplained.

In the meantime, Sky Sport Italia reveal interest in the player from Premier League side Queen Park Rangers.

If we are in the game of loaning players in, why don't we have a look at Joel Campbell of Arsenal.
I think he would be the perfect player to play off Pelle. With Pelle's ability to be the big hold up striker, and Campbell spinning off him. I think that would be a scary partnership.

On Gardos. is he being brought in to be in the first team or is he back up? Honestly haven't seen much of him other than youtube, and that don't look that convincing either!

Chippie71

1.) 09 Aug 2014 17:23:28
Arsene Wenger has ruled out letting both Yaya Sanogo and Joel Campbell leave on loan this season because of good displays in preseason. Could all change though I suppose. Guessing it won't though as they are the only backup to Giroud.

Love the way Virgil states on the official Saints site that this is the perfect STEP for him. Got to give it to the lad. already showing signs of commitment. Let's see where he is next summer.

Chippie71

1.) 01 Sep 2015 16:46:30
Lost in translation I am afraid. That's why he's signed a 5 year contract He is here to stay and loving it!

Good to see Spuds cocking it up again and MUFC proving yet again that we have the best Dutch manager in the PL!


2.) 01 Sep 2015 17:02:42
Was only looking gtsaint.
One thing I will say about him. He's laid back. I love a laid back player. Shows their calm on and off the pitch. Which in my mind is a better player, a more controlled player.


3.) 01 Sep 2015 18:56:22
Agree he definitely resonates composure - let's hope this is translated to the pict in the EPL


 

 

25 Aug 2015 21:08:00
Celtic 2-0 down. Looks like Virgil is coming.

Chippie71

1.) 25 Aug 2015 21:55:14
Really hope not


2.) 26 Aug 2015 15:34:34
If Virgil is the answer, what is the question?


 

 

23 Jul 2015 21:43:35
Hearing that Gardos has an injury. Defensive options now looking a bit scares.

Wallcott has 12 months left on his contract. He's played out of position at Arsenal, in his eyes by not being played up front. What do you think? A cheeky bid? Do you think he'd come back? I know wages would be a stumbling block, but you never know!

Chippie71

1.) 18 Jul 2015 22:16:50
No way Theo would come back here , we would not be able to afford him . Great player but always injured and we can't afford to pay someone a lot of money to not be playing . Great guy Theo but even if it was possible it would be far too risky.


2.) 20 Jul 2015 10:56:15
I'd take him in a heartbeat. Need a winger like him!


 

 

18 Jul 2015 13:09:00
@SouthamptonFC, I think we're missing out if we don't try to sign Aleksandar Mitrovic. Quality with potential.

Chippie71

1.) 18 Jul 2015 17:22:52
He's having a medical with Newcastle and deal is almost done - according to his own facebook page

{Ed002's Note - This is nothing to do with Southampton.}

I believe our squad looks strong, once everyone is available. Our back line looks very good. Some people say we need more firepower. But I'm sure I heard on Sundays commentary of the Norwich game, that we've got the most shots away in the premier league? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

As a player he's quality. But as we all know, he's a nut job.

People going on about Vlaar and his experience, and he'd add depth to the squad. Why? The experience, yes. But why do we need more depth? We've got Yoshida and Gardos for that, and even Martina. We need a quality CB for the starting eleven. Simple as that. Who, I'm not sure. But not Vlaar!

What I don't like is the fact he's even had medical. Which means he's probably agreed personal terms. Which in turns means no matter how our potential legal action goes, he wants to go to spuds over us. If he didn't, he wouldn't have bothered having the medical.

I personally thing we will still get him, but will have to match Spuds offer at least.

I'd love to see Gaston do well for us. I believe at some point he'll explode onto the scene.

So because RK is injured and may not be on the side line, he's incapable of picking the team? There is a communication device that has been invented that has taken the world by storm. It's called a mobile phone.

My pre-season players have been Tadic and Victor.

I believe RK thinks our back line is good enough to see us past Vitesse. Then we might an able to attract a better CB with the lure of European football. Compared to where we were a couple of seasons ago, players around the world must see we're on the up, as opposed to relegation battlers. And to work with RK has got to be a big bonus for any defender.
