BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Sky Sports just confirming we are in for Fonte. Southampton going for Van Dijk and would need to come in first. Interesting one, had a good season last year. Thought he was highly regarded down there.
penguin Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I'd start to believe Sherwood had mythical powers if we sign this guy.
Wainy316 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 This is all a bit Lescott. A cheeky rebutted bid.
Bunnski Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Get him in and send Baker on loan leaving us with Richards, Clark, Okore and Fonte as our centre backs. Sounds good to me
omariqy Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Think this could happen! Good experienced CB albeit on the wrong side of 30. Always thought he was as good as Lovren. 1
villan-scott Posted August 13, 2015 VT Supporter Posted August 13, 2015 Can't see it personally. They've already lost out on Alderweireld to Spurs, that's who they're looking at replacing the gap for, without losing their other first choice centre back, and their captain. I think he'd be a quality signing if it did happen. Out of interest does he play left side or right at centre back?
cosofsaunders Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Smell a bit like a 'lescott, if you want to come, hurry up ya fecker or we will buy someone else' to me
villa89 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I think this one is just paper talk to be honest. Southampton don't have to sell him and I doubt he's angling for a move away.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 13, 2015 Author Posted August 13, 2015 I'd rather van dijk Me too, was hoping there was some substance to that Eder Balanta link too. But Fonte would be a good addition, Neverton made enquiries too apparently
omariqy Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Van Dijk to Southampton is all but done. They've got Yoshida, Caulker and Gardos as well.

I'd still class this as unlikely in all fairness.
Keyblade Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 If we pull this off, we'd have such a strong squad across the board compared to recent years. Our backups would almost be guaranteed starters in previous seasons.
osmark86 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 would be a smashing signing if it goes through. I'm all for it.
jacketspuds Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Not for me. He certainly doesn't fit in with the spending policy we have in place this summer. We are not a club that can afford to sign players who will have no re-sale value in 2-3 years.
