Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

[Toronto Villa]

I like Pontius Jansson. He’s tough, has played at a higher level, highly competitive and doesn’t like to lose. He scores goals too. Would be a solid addition in my opinion.

Southampton fans seem to be taking delight selling us their rejects. Let's send them to the Championship.

£15m for a 28 year old with very little top flight experience and none in the Premier League?  No chance. Cahill on a free I get - he's a short term solution to a short term problem - but generally I can't see us buying too many players over about 24/25 unless they're so cheap they're basically free (Jota...)

Cahill for a season on a huge paycut from his last contract would work for me.

And no to Delph, Benteke, Young etc....

[mr underhill]

Jansson would work for me at the   buy out price - a lot more so than £25m for someone from the Championship with limited experience of the championship. Mings at that sort of money would worry me too, much as i like him.

[PeterWithe]

No to Jansen. Too old, immobile, ill disciplined and not good enough on the ball to beat the press so many teams play with.

Bide our time, save our money and get Axel back

[CT]

All I saw in our Championship meetings with Jansson was an apparently toy centre back who continually feel down, clutching his face when he hadn't been touched. Absolute no from me.

I'd rather have Axel back too.

A definite no to Jansen, not good enough defensively nor with the ball. I'd be OK with Cahill on a 12 month contract. Smith & the recruitment team have certainly got their work cut out between now and August.

[mr underhill]

Axel is going on the tour though so I don't see him coming back. We must get the centre backs defensive sorted pronto.

Too bloody right! I just read this (yes I know it's Twatter but coming from a team I'd forgotten which league they were in)..

Villa buying our deadwood. Tossers.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

So we've spent £50m but I think there's still plenty more to arrive. I'd include:

Phillips
Trezeguet – (Mahmoud Hassan)
João Félix - (sell to Real Madrid in 2022 for £300m)
Mings
A couple of loanees..

That should do it.

They're ignoring the fact that we've got a proper COACH, improving this type of player is meat and drink to him.
I'd bet any of the tossers now that we finish above them. If they get relegated too then so much the better.

Who the f***ing hell are you???

Scott Hogan was entitled to extra time off but still turned up for pre-season testing. Whatever you think of his ability, fair play for his attitude.

Always tries his nuts off, can't fault him for that. I've got a lot of time for him, just don't think he's good enough

Most of the Southampton fans I have had the misfortune to speak to over the years have been a bit backward.
