Everton, Leeds United and Wolves are also interested in signing Broja, who Southampton want to keep beyond the current campaign. Source Team Talk.

This would be one for the summer window, not january I assume. Still think it doesnt make much sense, as he would compete directly with Joffy.NottinghamWhite wrote:Everton, Leeds United and Wolves are also interested in signing Broja, who Southampton want to keep beyond the current campaign.

Doesn't really make sense. At 27 he is not young enough for us, and plays in a position we do not need strengthen.PhoenixUnited wrote:The Press Association (who they? ) saying that we have failed with a move for Liverpools Takumi Minamino. Bit of a long shot I'd have thought as they are unlikely to let him go with their squad temporarily depleted with players out at ACON.
Still, it would be good if we could get it done; be an improvement on what we currently have IMHO
I'd envisioned someone like him playing where we've tried and failed with Rodrigo and Roberts.

Trur if we let Summerville out on loan we need anothwr winger but not a 20M player we need.
Given Bielsa has wanted James for many years, I think that transfer was anything but a panic buy...The last Waltz wrote:made a panic buy in James
Firstly, both De Paul and Cunha went to Atletico Madrid. We can't expect to compete with a club like that when it comes to signing players.gilesdriveby wrote:Agreed would have preferred to have gone for De Paul or Cunha or Noa Lang rather than James or Firpo. Bielsa keeps saying that new players have to be far better /better than those they replace. Only issue is that some of our purchases have not worked out as well as we would have liked. If you stand still in this world or PL you are going backwards
Good post. These stupid and baseless rumours about the likes of De Paul, Cunha, Nandez or whoever South American soup of the day, which a lot of people believed were just nothing else but Twitter/agent noise. We were never seriously after them, but for some reason (maybe they are good in Football Manager of Fifa or stuff like that) they are still the ones we should have signed, even if Leeds were never had any chance of them.Polkadot wrote:Firstly, both De Paul and Cunha went to Atletico Madrid.

Secondly, Lang would've been a very interesting signing of course and he will end up in the Premier League or La Liga very soon, but it was never likely that he would be sold in the summer, given that Brugge in 20/21 season had him on loan with obligation to fulfill the transfer July 1st 2021. To believe in summer that Brugge would move him on just weeks after they fulfilled the transfer was naive.
This is the problem with modern football and all rumours in the press is that it gives us the impression that it's quite easy to sign the good players, then it's obviously not that easy, especially for us as we are nowhere near the top of the food chain of European football.
