I'm not saying in anyway that will sign this guy, but I do remember an Ed saying that we were interested in Pedro Rodriguez a while ago while Pochettino was still manager. Ofcourse I'm realistic and don't think this would ever happen, do any of the eds know if we are still interested? Thanks

{Ed001's Note - is that Barca's Pedro? If so, I am surprised he is still there. Not only are they willing to sell him, he is willing to move and there has been a number of clubs showing interest. Liverpool, Spurs and Southampton among them. But yes interest remains, I don't know why no one has actually made a solid move for him, which makes me wonder if he has ridiculous wage demands or something. His reps would have been sounded out about that kind of thing before any bids would go in. Seeing as no bids have gone in for him, it would suggest that as a sticking point.}

I to would imagin he expects huge wages beat good signing though

Was hoping for a min of two defs and a striker to be honest. Midfield is good. Our current defence is just not good enough and we needed at least one more striker when ricky was here. We have his replacement but are still short

Agree6 Disagree0

Wow, excited that that's the caliber of player we're interested in, with Koeman's links to Barca and a window were we have massive budget to spend on players + wages and the fact that we need a striker, how amazing would this be! Do you know what sort of region his asking price is Ed? I'm guessing £20-£25m sort of area?

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I don't believe it is more than half that mate.}

Really? We may as well give it a go then, if he really wants to leave, no harm in trying!

Does anyone have any real knowledge of any strikers that are wanted by the club? Read paper reports of us still interested in Javier Hernandez but I just don't think this would come of with the other teams interested.

With Hernandez, I think the positions he can cover is the type of striker we need, but I don't think he'd have the right attitude to play for us, the board have made a big deal out of saying they're looking to bring in players (and coaches) who want to be here for the long term and don't see us as a stepping stone to bigger things, Hernandez wouldn't see this and plus we could get someone who will offer more in terms of link up play

Agree9 Disagree3

Shame really, maybe I`m bias but this is a great club, his loss!

Saints have received permission from United to discuss personal terms with Javier Hernadez with the club expecting to pay about 9.5m

Rojo deal looks to have been hijacked by United but Ron Vlaar rumours are gathering momentum.

I still expect the Sam Byram deal to complete with a fee of nearer 7m

If Spider is set to get his move. Then after missing out on Fer who is heading to the evil redknapp then perhaps the Clasie deal will have to go through.

Finally Nathan Redmond for 4m plus Mayuka is the word on the street.

All of the above sounds good business and if true I'm very happy with the way the club has handled the summers turmoil

Hernandes won't come to us. Am genuinely stunned that the rumour is still going. He has said he doesn't want to come to us, there are some big clubs in for him and he wants to go to them.
Massive shame about rojo. Have heard exactly the same and that he wants a bigger club as well as someone mentioning him following man u people on twitter.
I do hope the childish spider goes now. We don't need an ill wind in the canp.

Agree11 Disagree2

We're still negotiating over price for Rojo aren't we? apprantly 17m euro bid was turned down as they won't 20m, which is about £16m. I reckon we should just go for it and get it done as it's only an extra 3m euros (£2.4m) may as well get it done! Would rather not get Hernandez, we need someone with better link up play then him, I'd love Redmond to come, he'd do very well here and could be a good move for Mayuka too, any truth in that bid ed?

Agree2 Disagree5

Rojo is not coming. Heard it from LescReed yesterday. Too much politics and multi ownership too complicated. Also mentioned the mafioso behind the lad getting in the way.

i'm with you on this Magiccabbage, I just can not believe people still think there is even a slim chance of hernandez considering us, let alone joining! we do need a player in that position of course, but hernandez is out of our reach. surely?

Agree5 Disagree0

All comes down to money.

We are apparently still after Javier Hernandez, and have met with his agent about either a purchase now or a season long loan. Seems there is interest from Inter and Chicaritos preference would not be us. Any one know any other information?

{Ed005's Note - Another Ed said Juventus is a likely destination for him.}

I can't imagine he will go to Saints, think we need to chnage our direction of we want someone in - not sure Bony will go through either. Any other news on that?

Agree4 Disagree1

He is going to juventus. He has said himself that is his preferred destination
