The 2016 close season transfers thread

He has tried in the English league, but could not cut it at Wolves and think he moved on to Hibs on loan before Celtic. He was only at Wolves 2 year ago, so was there for 3 years without breaking into the first team (championship) . Ex Dundee, we should steer clear.

No, he’s not cut out for English football. SPL is incredibly average and any half-decent striker will have luck there.

Case in point - Graham Cummins has bullied defences this season for St Johnstone, yet he struggled with Exeter in League 2 the year before…

Not one of ours, but it looks like Klopp is taking decisive action in the transfer market. Competition for the keeper they’ve just handed a five year deal to.

Arsenal want Mané. Football365 reckon a bid of around 17million will be enough to secure his services.

I’m assuming that’s 17mil on top of a free Oxlade-Chamberlain :lou_lol:

Sounds like Arsenal are keen to not repeat the inactivity seen last summer. Granit Xhala looks to be announced any day now.

Also sounds like a big offer has gone in for Alvaro Morata (which could be the catalyst for Pellè to head to Juve).

Can’t understand why Les don’t give Mane new contract ffs. If I was Les I would be like, Sadio, new contract yo! And if he was like, no tks, I would be like, Sadio, pls, be srs, and then he would be like oh ok. That is what I would do. I would prob do the same with Wanyama.

Edit: And coomen.

Les Reed is becoming the new Cortese according to the doomsayers on other Saints forums. Didn’t give RK enough of a bigging up when asked to summarise his reign, apparently.

other saints frms are off their heads, I wouldn’t read them if they paid me £5

This is from somewhere else so don’t shoot the messenger :-

Outs

Mane - Attracting attention from Arsenal and Man Utd - reportedly Utd looking to table £25m a bid of £17m may be enough.

Long - Leicester and Liverpool both showing interest reports of upto £25m on offer.

Pelle - Lazio showing interest although he is also interested in extending his contract.

Ins

Dennis Praet - Anderlect - £10m - also interest from Leicester and Everton and maybe Liverpool

Simone Zaza - Juventus - West Ham also showing interest

I thought that Arsenal had made a signing, but no no no, they have given Sanchez the number 7 shirt! Great!

We have never been in a stronger position to negotiate with Man Utd.

If their new manager wants Mane they will pay whatever it takes.

Call it £30m for cash - take him and fuck off.

Next.

How very true.

Popped over to see if there were any rumours about and it didn’t take long to remember why I love this place so much.

Every close season like a line of lemmings jumping off a cliff of despair into a sea of urine wrung from their very own mattress’.

Although TBF I do find the endless enquiries regarding the signing of Skacel hilarious.

Sell some footalling player bros… buy some cheaper footballing bros… some come good, some shite… somehow finish 6-9… some say it is a model for stability… seems fair enough… could become a bit boring though if we start to slip down…?

The best thing to come out of the annual meltdown is the fact that we get the best out of players.

You don’t see anyone moving on and pulling up trees.

It’s as if we sold Lovren and Schniederlin without the user manuals.

Going to be scuppered by Klopp’s former club by the looks of things.

Heard the same.

According to Italian TV station Qui Studio A Voi Stadio (via Inside Futbol) Juventus striker Simone Zaza is of interest to Europa League entrees Southampton.

someone should tell man Utd not to bid £25m because we’ll take £17m, apparently. They’d look pretty foolish if they insisted on over paying.
