Southampton in talks with Valencia over banega.
Banega is now looking to leave Valencia, with southampton unsuccessful in the summer.
Southampton are now prepared to up their previous offer of 8. 5 m to match Valencia's valuation.
Man utd are also rumoured to be interested, but not as a first choice January target.

We all know that Saints are signing noone in this window I don't know what that says about the club s ambition its clear that we need reinforcements but Cortese is not prepared to spend.

To post above. maybe there is no money to spend. or they are awaiting the summer to secure premiership football this season and re-group in summer. maybe selling to finance moves, Osvaldo has not settled yet (but remember similar story to suarez when he arrived)look at him now. Ramierez may go. As for Luke Shaw £30m scouted about, if we sell him we need a suitable replacement first. The only business I can see saints doing is players going out on-loan. Lee, Shape maybe Yosidha. Also what has happened to Banard and Forte? maybe they be released if they havnt already. As for Banega if we were signing him this would of been done in the summer.

"Cortese is not prepared to spend"

Which area of your ar$e did you pull that nugget from?!

Rumour has it that Valencia are to be bought, so this may change anyway.

This would be good if true, but I also heard Valencia May be bought. If true then banega will be going nowhere.
I do believe such I big signing would most likely be done in the summer to allow him to adapt to the epl
Saint smiff

How can you adapt in the summer to the PL? Oh like Osvaldo!

Half a season to adjust and hit the ground running for a full season. If the sale of Valencia happens his sale may become more or less likely, if you can get him now at a fair price, do it.

Osvaldo was not around for the pre-season to adapt in the summer!

Agreed valencia to be brought and invest £50 million euros in players. cannot see Bangera going. and if he does it wouldn't be until the Summer

Been saying this in the summer and I stand by it now, WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER CM, we need a wide player with pace not another central player

^ we don't play with wide players. having a winger in the team would be as useless as a portsmouth fan
