Any more news on Graziano Pele guys?

1.) 09 Jul 2014
Tbh I don't think pelle would be such a good buy. He's 28 and 10m is a bit too much for him, even though he was good for feyeenoord these past seasons. Would rather have someone like ings for that sort of money.

2.) 09 Jul 2014
Apparently he's not training with Feyenoord today, supposedly flying over

3.) 09 Jul 2014
Is that you stevo?

4.) 09 Jul 2014
We need 2 strikers.

5.) 09 Jul 2014
Don think he would be a bad buy but the reson he didn't train was a slight ankle injury but heard benteke was on the short list

6.) 09 Jul 2014
^SaintGibbs. lol but seriously, who knows, if rumours are true then we could end up with both although another site is saying we have hit a sticking point with pelle & may be moving on to other targets

7.) 09 Jul 2014
I think we need 3 strikers personally. One to replace Lambert, One to Replace Osvaldo ( who will leave) One to replace rodriguez as he is injured. We can't rely on gallagher, ramirez, mayuka and sharp, the young boy isn't quite ready and the other 3 aren't good enough to get the amount of goals we need to finish top half

8.) 09 Jul 2014
Personally I think we should Sign Pele and ings if Possible both would be great assets for our Squad.

wish people would stop saying ings will be a good signing . he had one good season in the championship. he wouldn't hit 5 goals in the league next season .
not prolific enough , rather sign rhodes or hernandez

@ 10m he would be an awesome target man, worried that saints might start playing long ball to him though.

11.) 09 Jul 2014
I would think Ronald Koemans as his manager for the past 3 / 4 years would know best if he is worth it - in Ron we trust.

12.) 09 Jul 2014
We need 3 new strikers IMAO. One to replace Lambert. One to replace Osvaldo (as he is leaving) and One to cover Rodriguez as he is Injured. Can't rely on gallagher (yet too young and inexperienced) or mayuka and sharp as they haven't shown that they can cut it.

13.) 09 Jul 2014
I'd like to, I know it's a long shot, but I'd like to see Romelu Lukaku at Saints, proven EPL goal scorer, youthful, skillful and bags of potential - I'd rather spend big on him
Although I expect his wage demands might also be big!

14.) 09 Jul 2014
Pelle will end up here I expect. hardball is being played from both sides for the price but did his agent not say pelle was keen on the move?? he should just throw his toys outta the pram or even better yet drive himself to staplewood carpark. lukaku will not sign for saints. wages, fees and clubs like athletico want him.

15.) 09 Jul 2014
I would hate for Pelle to act as immaturely as some of our players have just in order to join us. Frankly it's disrespectful and we want good characters at Southampton as well as good players.

16.) 09 Jul 2014
Whilst I understand the thought about Ings, didn't they say that Rickie Lambert from League 1 to Championship, then from Championship to Premier League?

17.) 09 Jul 2014
The Pelle deal seems to have hit a snag regarding the fee and we are currently looking at other options deal not dead but also not close either

18.) 09 Jul 2014
Frankly it was a joke.

19.) 09 Jul 2014
Life and soul of the party

I agree SotonBoy, Look how well Jay Rod has done after "One good season in the Championship". If we want English talent Ings is exactly the type of player we should be looking at. Young adaptable and a proven goalscorer in English leagues.

21.) 09 Jul 2014
We were after Benteke this time last year and got quite close - until he signed an improved extension at Villa I hear.

22.) 09 Jul 2014
It took J-rod a season to settle in though. I'd expect the same from Ings. If we get him we'll still need a couple of good strikers for the season as first team regulars.

23.) 09 Jul 2014
J-Rod had 2 decent seasons in the championship would've been 3 if it wasn't for a broken ankle and it took him a season to finf his feet in the prem

24.) 09 Jul 2014
Although we are interested in Ings you have to wonder if he would be better staying at burnley so he has a year in the prem before signing in a year. As for pelle I think saints would prefer a younger and better prospect but with the options running are likely to sign him.
