LEANDRO DAMIAO??

Had to grin at this one....

Well another high bid that I believe will end in nothing, lets get after some targets that want to actually play for us and have a real hunger, not looking for huge pay day and then waltz off to another club in 18 months. Afraid Cortese's ego is not helping.

Well, that rumour didn't last long.

Tweet from a sports reporter some 20 minutes ago.....

Sky Italia saying saintsfc were close to a deal for Damiao until Napoli expressed an interest at the 11th hour

Hmmm....

"there’s no denying that signing Damiao is like wading slowly through a minefield…having to tip-toe past each stake-holder for fear of the transfer blowing up in your face."


For some reason I am finding it difficult to imagine Saints coping with this!

then we should just walk away, or perhaps indicate still interested and mess them around while we sign someone else such as Osvaldo as both club and player have messed us around

Hmmmm.....'minnows side Southampton'

'he would like to join a bigger club than Southampton'

'we have decided to wait for a more ambitious club'


Was that designed to wind us up?? And does he know the meaning of the word 'ambitious'?????

It's disrespectful, that's for sure.
