Jose Fonte

Maybe it'll come back and slap me in the face but I don't think for a second we're going to sign Fonte. Considering the amounts touted when Man Utd, Everton and Liverpool were linked with him, why would he suddenly want to come to us? I don't think we'll pay a 10M+ fee for a guy of his age and level. I also don't think he'd choose to come to us either.

Lukerz

Tbf, Fonte and Reid would be an amazing pairing.

baracks_a_hammer

Trying to take another point of view could we be thinking about him as he is a top premier league defender coupled with the fact that our defence has been pretty rubbish for nearly all this season, which cannot just be blamed on the lack of a right back?

Bazshuayi

IMO he's had his head turned (initially from Man Utd interest) a while ago and is looking for a last good move. I don't think we've got the appeal for it to be us so he'll get the move to somewhere like Man Utd or Everton (or apologize and stay with Southampton).

TwistandShout

Collins to Palace? Or Ogbonna to leave?

Agree with Lukerz, Reid + Fonte would be immense

IronHerb

Can't see Ogbonna going anywhere. Fonte is hardly better than Payet. As soon as he thought Man U or Liverpool were interested he pretty much downed tools.

Luke ;ok

Fonte & Reid would guarantee clean sheets for the next 18 months imo

NEoldiron

Alderz, that makes them sound like laundrymen. ;biggrin

Randolph ;hmm

Apparently Swansea and evert N are after an attacking midfielder from Young Boys called "Ravet"

Can you imagine if we ever signed someone with that name - would we be expecting a combination of Ravel and Payet with all the baggage that came with it??...

McHammer

Linked with Gray again on talksport

I get the feeling that Slav is viewing Hogan as a last resort. Defoe was/is his No1 target and I think he’s still hoping something may happen there.

Risky game to play because if someone else snaps up Hogan and Defoe decides to stay…

Lukerz

So we can possibly tick that off as a correct ITK call from KUMB. ;wink

He ald says Hogan is on standby, because Slav wants Defoe, and we feel there maybe some movement on that as the window moves on.

still shocked by this 'advanced' thingy ;nonono

Vorselaarhammer

6th riches club in England....

We should jump up a bit next year with 20K extra people at the game.

I would say around 13th is possible a way to go before we over take Spurs.

IronHerb

7th Vorse ;ok

Pearces_Left_Foot

C&H Says Fonte for 4m and Collins to Palace which would be decent business ;whistle

Lukerz

LukerzITK brought you that Collins exclusive first two weeks ago. ;whistle

Lukerz - the only ITK worth (not) knowing.

OldCastleSwift

Lose Collins and you lose a massive part of this club, IMO

True, but we would be stupid not to get Fonte if he is available. He is in a different league to Ginge. Leader, goal threat from set-plays, World Cup winner, brilliant defender, linked with Man Utd only a week ago. Saints have gone down the pan since he's been omitted.

Although, Ginge is only going to be a sub at Palace, given they have Tonks, Dann and Delaney.

Although, there is a rumour Spurs are looking to nip in last minute, after the Vertonghen injury.

1 out of 20? 1 out of 50?

Hell of a success rate ;whistle
