Oh no! Looking like Clyney is off to Manc U.

Why would we do this now? Sam Byram would be a good replacement in three years time, but why lose one of our best and most consistent defenders at a time where we have a genuine chance of pushing for Europe? Hope this is duff reporting.

1.) 25 Jan 2015 20:47:53
If the summer taught us anything it's don't believe it's true till that Daily Mail gob*hite Neil Ashton says it is.

2.) 25 Jan 2015 22:48:55
can't see this happening in January, possibly in the summer if we don't make CL and they do

Shaw was worth £30+ million to them, if we're going by that fee then Clyne's got to be worth what £40mil? I know most of the Shaw price was because he's young, but Clyne's only a couple of years older.
Prices are always inflated Jan, you can probably add another 5-10mil on top of what he's worth for a Jan transfer. Are utd going to pay £45mil for him? Not if they think they can get him for 20, if I was Clyne I'd be feeling pretty disrespected by that.

Les Reed is the man to have on your side in these situations, can't see him doing anything to jeopardise our season after working that hard during the summer and it paying off so well so far.

As for who to replace him? Poss Rafeal + money for Clyne? Is Rafeal any good? Another Bertrand?

Byram would be decent, like to see him in as back up before throwing him in the deep end though

Chris Solly? Santon? Both can play either side

3.) 25 Jan 2015 23:24:21
Well, Saints don't have a lot of choice in the matter if Clyne won't sign a new contract. He holds all the cards - if he wants to leave he'll have no trouble forcing through the transfer as Saints won't risk losing a £20+million asset for free by making him stay another year.

Not a lot you can do about it.

4.) 25 Jan 2015 23:59:58
Ok seems to me that Clyne is playing the waiting game. As a huge saints fan I personally think he should sign straight up for the next ten years but with most people whatever industry we work in if we could double / treble and so on our wages and play for one of the biggest sides in the world then I'm pretty sure we would at least give it more the a second thought!!
My main hope is looking at what we are trying to achieve here and tHe board / management we have in place to make it happen plus the current results of players who left in the summer are getting might make Clyne think twice. Then again money talks. On the plus side 1: he stays = prefect. 2: he leaves and we get loads of money 20mil for a right back and should be replaceable for say 7mil and 13 in bank for squad/team improvement. Win win for me. Let's enjoy it as we know sir Koeman is the main reason where we are

5.) 26 Jan 2015 10:14:57
£45million?! Hahahahaha, what world are you living in?

6.) Why not, what are you paying falcau for his services. you're not very good at the business side of things, with the money you spent you should be top of the league

7.) 26 Jan 2015 15:48:55
What does Falcao have to do with the amount we would pay for a young up and coming RB? Don't embarrass yourself any further.

8.) 26 Jan 2015 17:56:05
£30million for Shaw, best business Saints have ever done. What world are you living in? If you were willing to pay that for an unproven 18 year old LB with very potential weight issues and an inability to play your system, what is the finished article worth?

9.) 26 Jan 2015 18:06:25
I think he is living on the same world that the management team were who paid £30 million for Luke Shaw

10.) 26 Jan 2015 18:46:47
If none of you can differentiate between Luke Shaw and Nathaniel Clyne then I really can't help any of you. Sorry for confusing you all.

11.) 26 Jan 2015 19:29:10
Clyne IS the better player and arguably has the talent to BE better. He's more versatile since he can play on both sides and looks like he'd be comfortable playing further forward (probably on both sides again). He's young, English and an international player (albeit one game, still more than Shaw when he moved though) There's no reason why he wouldn't cost a lot more if we were to sell him now

12.) 26 Jan 2015 20:13:53
If he is sold for more than Shaw I will come back and eat crow. But do you really think a young rb with one year left on his contract will go for £45million? Take off the Southampton shades and be realistic.

13.) 27 Jan 2015 09:54:21
Seems to me that we are all still accepting that we will be the staging post for player transfers to what they call the next level, unfortunately I think this was inevitable. The problem is with this accepted strategy when will we be ever a stable top half of the table side ? I suppose this situation is the result of being a successful smaller club in the PL. Unless our strategy changes and increased financial contracts with the players are negotiated to bring us more in line with the big boys this yo yo effect will continue for the foreseeable future and with that reduce the attraction for top players to join our club. It is a difficult equation to work out however the financial structure of the club has to be paramount to the dilemma and continue our slow but sustained growth. In other words we may have to wait some time to be included in the top club bracket.

14.) 27 Jan 2015 13:43:49
red rosie with regards to Falcao and being embarrasesd. By the end of the season man u will have paid 24 million in loan and wages fee's. that's 24 million for a player who does not belong to utd.
Tell us how may goals has he scored and how many times has he been on the bench?

Please let us know the 'difference' between clyne and shaw as defenders. if utd do want him then there is little doubt in my mind that that a fee of around 25 million would not be unrealistic for an england international and a player rated very highly by observers of the game. You paid 28 million for shaw who was 18 at the time! so come on what is the difference.

What will be embarrassing is if your transfer policy of spending 150 million pounds during the summer does not bring you champions league football.
For us as saints fans it is great fun at the moment and will have been a brilliant season even if we finish out of the top four. For utd it is a very different feeling these days is it not.

15.) 27 Jan 2015 14:42:52
golac, I feel like you have missed the point. Falcao has absolutely nothing to do with anything I have said. We were discussing Clyne and how he is not worth £45million and how I disagree that MUFC or any club would pay near that amount for him. As you all seem to insist upon pointing at Falcao I'll give you my opinion - Poor bit of business that was high risk/high reward. Unfortunately for us the high reward is yet to come, and may not come at all.

Again as you insist upon talking about our fee for Shaw (despite the fact that we were dicussing Clyne). Shaw cost us so much because he is 18, English and had a lot of time left on his contract, you held all the cards - good business on your part. Regardless it seems you haven't read the thread properly. I agree Clyne would probably cost someone somewhere between £20-25 million this summer, but that's not the fee I'm laughing at. £45 million was the fee suggested by 'saintysaintsaint' and that's what I deem to be entirely unrealistic. Perhaps read the thread before getting so irate you feel the need to pick apart Man United's transfer policy in a failed attempt to irritate me. I have not said a single bad thing about Southampton FC.

It would be embarrassing if we didn't make the Champions league I agree. Still not relevant to Clyne.

I like Southampton, I am pleased you have done so well after losing so many players last year, I simply laughed at the idea that Clyne would be worth £45 million and you all got weirdly upset. Do me a favour, find a non Southampton supporter mate, ask them if anyone will pay that much for Clyne and then get back to me.

16.) 27 Jan 2015 15:06:53
You're clearly talking at cross purposes. Neither of you are wildly inaccurate with your assertions, imo. You can therefore now kiss and make up.

17.) 27 Jan 2015 15:30:43
Hugs and kisses all round.

18.) 27 Jan 2015 19:01:01
Going to get a smack but I agree with red rosie this difference of opinion has nothing to do with club rivalry in any way. The point he/she is making applies whoever you support and to actually imagine Nathaniel Clyne to be worth 45m pounds is just fantasy talk, it is good banter though and should be good humoured as well. Love football don't you, what else could stir the emotions like this. The main problem with the top players in the PL is purely down to their scheming money grabbing agents ( looking after themselves primarily ) who basically control them and any decision that is made is by the agent not the player.

19.) 28 Jan 2015 01:47:11
Clyne is not worth 45 million shaw was 18, clyne is 23 and shaw out shone clyne when he was there, he has gone backwards atm but he still has huge potential, 20 - 25 million for clyne i agree with though as a saints fan i wouldn't be happy to sell him at that.

The value of a player is often different to the fee paid especially nowadays with man utds desperate transfer policy. but 20 million up to 35 million is definitely the top and bottom regions of the sort of fee that will probably be agreed. 30-35 million and saints have done very very well.

I think Clyne will regret leaving saints tho if he does shouldn't sacrifice his potential for money look at shaw lovren, lambert and lallana all gone backwards since there moves the only one who looks just as good has been chambers because he's getting the game time but that only because debuchy injured. But the reality is they want the money and who can blame them really if there doubling/tripling/quadrupling there wages. I say i wouldn't move from a club i like for money but who knows till the offer is in your face.

20.) 28 Jan 2015 07:12:09
We are not a club that will pay inflated salaries to these players so we have to accept that we'll lose some of them. However as long as we stick to this policy we will never realistically be able to compete with the big boys. I think we just have to face it to be a big boy we have to have a 50,000 plus stadium that sells out every match and a board that will throw silly money around just to be successful. I am a afraid that is never going to happen with Saints regardless of where we finish in the league table. On a happy note with the regime in charge at the moment I am pretty sure we will never be fighting against relegation again. We will just be best of the rest and that will do me.

21.) 28 Jan 2015 10:49:09
Agree with what Chris and dave have written about the saints above regarding clyne and his potential transfer and also of course the points on how our club is run these day's. Brilliantly is the word to describe it.

Rosie did not what to upset you but did feel that saintysaint in terms of discussion on transfers and clyne made some good conversation points and do not believe that he or most our supporters would believe for moment we would get 45 mill for him.

However in the new real world of SFC we will get the market price and will not be selling our great young players on the cheap to anyone.
Did feel that the comment 'hahahah what world are you living in' regarding sainty's comments was a bit harsh as he was only making general points.
I came to his defence as a fellow supporter who like all the saints fans on this site have a love and a passion for their club and sainty's comments bear that out.

With regards your striker Mr F he was introduced into the conversation (not by me ) as an analysis of your comments regarding 'what world are you living in' in regard to clyne's transfer fee.
I think it is at this moment in time a good analysis because if a team as stated, can pay 24 mill on a player they have on loan for season rising to 72 mill if they choose to buy him then 25 mill for one of the best right backs in the prem in comparison looks like a bargain. And yes he may come good. No offence meant good luck for the rest of the season.

anyone have any news on the dutchman at celtic we may be interested in.

22.) 28 Jan 2015 12:19:02
My only point that I stand by (and that I can't believe I'm having to argue) is that £45 million for Clyne is both laughable and unrealistic. That's it. Nothing to do with Falcao. Nothing really to do with Southampton.

You don't need to come to a fellow fan's defence if their point is ridiculous. MUFC fans say silly things all the time, and I call them out on it, as I have done here. Nor do you need to attack MUFC or any of the business they are doing (good or bad) or have done. It is simply my comment as a football fan on another football fan's opinion of a player's value. There is not a club in the world who would in this transfer window pay £45 million for Nathaniel Clyne. If you can't keep the discussion to that and that alone then it's not worth discussing at all.

23.) 28 Jan 2015 13:32:20
Clyne will NOT be sold this window.

That is known, so why the debate??

If he is sold in the summer, and Utd. are bidding for him what is also known is that RoKo will do LVG absolutely NO favours. If another club competing with Saints want to strengthen and weaken Saints they will pay a high fee to do so. If it is LVG, he will pay an EXTREMELY high fee!

No, it will not just be down to RoKo but he will have a big say.

Who knows who could bid for Clyne in the summer. If Liverhampton do, his value could be astronomical!

24.) 28 Jan 2015 14:28:25
Skip around my point all you want. I don't care whether its a high fee or a low fee. I don't care if he signs for MUFC or Pohang Steelers. The ONLY thing I have said that you are STILL avoiding agreeing with me on is that nobody will pay £45 million for Clyne in this window or the next. I really don't understand why that's so hard to comprehend.

25.) 28 Jan 2015 17:22:33
All this talk about Clyne being sold whether in January or the Summer may be a bit premature do you think ? I personally haven't heard a whisper from him about wanting to move on unlike our beloved Morgan who seems to spell it out loud and clear. Morgan seems to be the golden boy and poor old Clyney has according to most of you packed his suitcase and got it waiting just outside the changing room door. He may very well move but let's just wait and see what develops first. We need to have him totally focused on doing a job for the Saints on the field and all this negative speculation is bound to affect his concentration.

26.) 29 Jan 2015 10:03:59
@RedRosie

you're right he's not 'worth' 45 mil but Shaw wasn't 'worth' 30 mil and you paid that.

Lovren wasn't 'worth' 20 and we got that, Lallana not 'worth' 30 and we got that too

What players are 'worth' and what teams actually pay are 2 different things.

by buying him 'now' in January it will take a massive sum like what I've said to prize him away, but like you said, in the summer with a year on his contract he'll likely go for about half that

27.) 29 Jan 2015 10:58:47
You are still ignoring the point. You are incredibly stubborn and a lost cause. There is absolutely no shame in admitting you are wrong. I've been wrong plenty of times. Nobody will pay £45million for Clyne. Say it with me and it will all be ok.

28.) 29 Jan 2015 20:20:03
Blimey what a debate about Clyne whether he goes or stays. One thing is for sure he won't go in the January window. Koeman and scouts already looking at possible right backs addition /replacements. Also other positional addition/replacements. Whatever happens in this transfer and summer windows Koeman will again make the right decisions. Stay focused and enjoy this seasons remarkable journey. I have followed Saints as a young boy and man for over 50 years and never been so excited as to the potential on now and the future ahead. cOYR's

Taider deal confirmed done by RoKo

1.) Obviously we have been linked for a long time but as the deal looks more and more likely, what is he actually like as a player? Does anyone know?

2.) Inter fans are gutted :)

3.) Apparently the player has himself confirmed on his twitter account.

With regards to Ezequiel Schelotto I have to admit I don't know much about him so I have done the standard youtube check! I hate to say it but this guy looks turd!

Normally on youtube you find a compilation of said players best bits! this guys compilation makes interesting watching, you might think its a compilation of his worst buts! unfortunately it is not!

If I have this wrong please let me know but i'm hoping we don't get this guy! thoughts?

4.) Very adept at picking the ball up from deep and linking the midfield with attack. Similar style to wild here but with more pace/power.

5.) To saint_ben_basingstoke, Schelotto was seen as a hot prospect in Italy, but like Taider (the other guy we're getting on loan) they made the move to Inter too early in their careers. Schelotto went on loan to Parma and according to Parma fans, he was very good. Hopefully we get the Parma version of Schelotto and he is a fast winger so he gives us depth in a position we lack.

6.) What do you mean 'wild'

7.) Jonathan Biabiany looks a much better option in my opinion

8.) I agree, apparently West Brom have submitted a 5m bid already.

9.) Sorry was supposed to say wilshere.

10.) Saintsfan25: ok well if we get him let's hope he lights the premiership up

11.) I would rather get Biabiany over Taider or Schelotto. Our centre mid options are good already and a winger is what we lack. Biabiany has raw pace and good dribbling, would bring a different dimension to the team

12.) @Seattle Saint:

Taïder is quite mentally/tactically astute, he sees the pass before others and tackles with the right amount of aggression. He is also good at controlling the play and being apart of both slow & quick build up plays.
His only downside is his attitude, he can lose momentum.

However, I see him as a very Koeman-esque sort of player, very similar to Clasie but he plays a little further upfield so is not quite as defensive. If he is a big part of Koeman's plans (a starter in the squad) then I see this as very efficient transfer with Osvaldo going the other way.

13.) Nothing on the player's twitter account

13 Jul 2014 10:23:32
Frazer Forster is next signing. £8m.

1.) I hope not. I don't think he's an good enough keeper for the Premier league, if we do sign him I hope I'm proven wrong. but I can't see him being a effective enough player in this league.

2.) 13 Jul 2014 10:45:44
I hope so

3.) Future England No:1, will knock Hart off his undeserved perch. Watson our new GK coach is also Englands GK coach. Celtic have recently signed Craig Gordon recently. An English signing would be nice.

4.) I would'nt mind any one of Forster/Marshall/Ruddy All good keepers. I think it will be Ruddy personally

5.) Forster is probably the best english 'keeper around, if he's good enough for the CL, he's good enough for the PL.

6.) Forster for me

7.) Watson will know how good Forster is and I am sure he will be advising The Koemanator on if he is the one to go after.

8.) Excuse me for my lack of know she and laziness to find out for myself, but what's the situation with boruc? Has his contract finished?

9.) 13 Jul 2014 14:20:41
Has anybody seen Lovren parking his car at the training camp today and did he park it alongside Osvaldos?? Any spies know anything, rumour has it that Lovren doesn't know what to do now.

10.) Saints just tweeted a picture of him getting of the plane in Belgium with the team.

11.) Arter boruc for me :)

12.) Forster's better than Marshall, IMO. He's a one season wonder.

Younger, with CL experience - I think Forster would be a solid investment.

Boruc is in the last year of his contract and a bit of journeyman these days. It would make sense for Saints to be thinking about the future.

06 Jun 2014 14:49:02
Getting really worried that from a few different sources I've heard Tim Sherwood is talking to Saints about being the next manager. In my view this would be a really bad move

1.) And he wasn't too complimentary about us when 'the Poch to Spuds' rumours first started doing the rounds. No thank you Ralph!

2.) 06 Jun 2014 16:35:31
Sherwood is going to a top top manager, and obviously now has an awful lot to prove. But my concern with him is how much would he really care about Southampton FC? We have fallen hard and fallen fast with a P*mpey secret agent before. I would leave him well alone it's not worth the risk.

3.) I don't know much about sherwood, but find it interesting that people rate this guy. He has hardly any experience at all, and I recall him changing avb 4-5-1 to his preferred 4-4-2. Can't see how this would benefit our team, or show any ambition compared to other links, such as koeman, or even magath

4.) Don't worry, it's just the bookies. He's not being considered.

5.) I'd almost like this just on the virtue that he's an Englishman and there just aren't many good English managers about. Equally though, if we were hiring a young up and coming manager who's English I'd much rather we took a chance on Eddie Howe. He's been on the South Coast much longer and we already have strong links with Bournemouth. My personal favourites are still Koeman and Magath, but in the unlikely event the Frank De Boer rumours aren't all smoke with no fire, then he'd be my preferred candidate.

6.) He did have the highest spurs win percentage though, which isn't a bad stat, but I agree would rather the Koeman or someone who suits our style of play more

7.) 06 Jun 2014 23:00:40
Just saw rumours that Arsenal are looking at David Marshall from Cardiff. very good keeper but would only warm the bench for the gooners, would be a good addition our the squad. not knocking AB but we have no quality cover & he would get some first team action through the season. Good to see Spider in the French squad. COYR

8.) True about the English managers. We should really be looking at English managers. I think it's a difficult one though. I feel the all the players will need to feel the appointment was ambitious though. I'm not sure any young British managers suit that criteria at the moment. A foreign manager with a name may look ambitious, bit I feel a British manager wouldn't jump at the chance of moving to a larger club. Maybe

9.) Just be nice to have a new manager so we can get on with business before all the frees goes. first thing would be another GK, sell Fonte and get a new Cb,
i would sell Shaw and take that 30m onto the 50 they give me. lukakau for no more than 20 million would still leave 60m - a few decent kids on low wages and the rest I would spend on stadium capacity - if wee need to start paying CL wages then we need to create more revenue - even if we can't fill the seats with adult tickets I would start to get kids in through the gates so they will be are future.

10.) Just looked at current odds. Koeman still favourite at 4/6, but sherwood was best priced at 4-1. That is dangerously low. I personally really don't want this appointment. He has Pompey written all over him. Fingers crossed it's koeman

11.) 07 Jun 2014 12:34:35
Bookies change up the odds to encourage betting on outsiders, and ward off people lumping on Koeman, My advice to anyone with a bit of dosh to spare is lump 100 plus on Koeman and earn yourself a cheeky 50 quid or more depending how much you willing to put on

12.) Heard contract being drawn up and Sherwood will be in place next week, will be perfect for us as clearly KL want's to claw back most of the money spent and he will be cheap, and won't mind selling off players to pay off the debt.

13.) Ha ha trollhunter - blue underpants methinks

14.) 07 Jun 2014 22:06:57
There is a report in the Bola paper in Portugal which says Saints are looking at Vitor Pereira, the Porto coach, don't know much about him except that he was AVB s assistant.Didnt set the world alight at Porto last season either.

15.) 08 Jun 2014 18:56:36
Been told by reliable source our chairman is a very good friend of felix magath hence the betting on him as our new manager. Not what I wanted to hear but this source told me the exact day Poccettino would be leaving so I am confident they have inside knowledge.

16.) 08 Jun 2014 23:11:42
When in world would an Ice Hockey coach befriend Football manager Felix Magath? Your source was lucky with Pochettino, most people sensed he was off, just slight hope preventing us thinking otherwise

30 May 2014 21:32:44
Dejan Loren deal to Tottenham will be announced tomorrow (Saturday) - reliable source. Really unhappy about this.

1.) I have also been told this, not very happy about it at all.

2.) 31 May 2014 02:03:01
we were told no players would be sold prior to a new manager being appointed. Are you kidding me?

3.) FFs hope not

4.) I know montecristo, i'm thinking the same. Nice to see done fans still have hope but I'm defo losing mine. Bit annoyed Krueger has been talking out of ass though. Saying transparency is healthy but not letting on to any of the deals before the press get hold of it

5.) 31 May 2014 09:40:15
if any saints players are sold to spurs
then liebherr krueger and reed are really taking the mickey out of the saints fans
but don't hold your breath
i think krueger was brought in to sell our best assets despite what he has said
forestsaint

6.) Krueger was brought in to be the face of southampton, he does the PR and live interviews, he has nothing to do with anything footballing wise

7.) By the way, I really hope the source is wrong on this. It's somebody who works with the youth set up, so it may be that they are wrong. Just passing on what I was told by his Mrs.

To me, Lovren is more important to keep than Shaw.

8.) 31 May 2014 13:58:03

City have been tracking him all summer. Would be a great signing,

1.) 02 Sep 2014 10:29:11
Bradford City have been tracking who?

28 Jul 2014 21:50:45
Right, will you lot calm down. Let's look at facts.

Shaw, £27M cash with fee potentially rising to £34M. Good business? Yes.

Lambert, £4M cash. Not good business, but we all were happy for him joining his dream club.

Lallana, £25M cash. Some going to Bournemouth. Good business? Yes. Great player for us but I think he'll struggle at Liverpool as he's a little fish now.

Chambers, £16M cash. Good prospect, but that is proper money. Good business? Yes. He'll most likely succeed at arsenal, but it's a good return for a second choice right back.

Lovren, £20M cash. Wanted to leave, did well for us but good business? Yes. Mercenary.

Spidey and Jay-Rod. Spidey good player and Jay-Rod had a great season. £40m likely for the pair. Good business? Yes.

If KL was about a fire sale just to make cash, a) she wouldn't have employed Koeman as manager and she wouldn't have endorsed c£25M for ataxic and Pelle.

RonKoe has said we are in for other players, let's wait and see, but stop with the doom mongering, it's boring.

forestsaint

02 Jun 2014 22:09:27
Lallana can leave, Shaw can leave. £60M is £60M. Koeman can add that to the £50M war chest he's been promised. People seem to think that because we lost a chairman who is now out of work and a manager who has taken the cash option and shown he was using us as a stepping stone, that we are falling apart. That remains to be seen, but I can't see it. Let's see what happens. Koeman will be a step up in terms of manager, not a step back.

1.) Lol to think the board will hand out 110m to spend, get real, u will find, as krueger said in 1st interview about living within means we may get 50m to spend but they will take that from player sales

23 May 2014 18:08:52
Patrice Evra signs new one year deal with Manchester United.

Why would they pay him £100k per week and Luke Shaw £80k per week to occupy the same spot?

Shaw is staying - COYS

1.) Because Luke shaw deal was never going to happen! More rubbish from the guter press!

This site has become more like "ask ed".

If he had the answers to the questions people ask then he'd be making a bomb as a sports journalist.

On a different note ed, if Poch leaves and as unlikely as it is, Poyet took over, who would his first signing be and how much would he pay for them. What would he do if they flopped? Who would he sell them to? How much for?

I'd love this to be true. Bags of potential.

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.
