Don´t shoot the Messenger .. Verthongen on a free from Benfica 17:38 - Aug 18 with 3337 views | Springhill_old_boy | Just appeared on one of the many Football transfer shows here that Verthongen (ex Spurs CB) has agreed a free transfer to Saints, as he wants to play more and Schmitt the new coach doesnt rate him. Definitely the experience that Saints are crying out for ... but isnt he ancient?? | | | | |

He'd be a very welcome addition to our squad. He's 35. He has 139 caps and he's still the vice-captain of the Belgian national team. Pepe and Fonte played well past that age for Portugal.

That’s one hell of a scoop. Can’t see anything on Saints Web about that. This is truly the place for exclusives. | |

That would be very encouraging if it does happen, and bad news for not interested Bednarek. | | | |

Nods fiercely in agreement..would be that experienced leader at the back we've missed since Fonte...Great if it happens...and he'd have the balls to give Ralph some shit if required. | |

Show with the football journalists .. some with links to Benfica, however its very hit n miss regarding validity of the exclusives. Working in the media as I do (for over 25 years) most of the transfer stories can be somewhat manufactured especially by agents trying to sort out an auction for their client. What is true is that he is unfancied by the new coach and he needs to play regularly because of the World Cup, where that will be who knows? Personally it wouldnt surprise me if he actually returned to Belgium instead of moving to Saints but the journalist claiming the exclusive was adamant that his source was correct .. | | | |

I would love to see bednerek rot in the reserves . Let’s hope this Verthongen link is true | |

Don´t shoot the Messenger .. Verthongen on a free from Benfica on 20:06 - Aug 18 with 2656 views | PatfromPoole | Another good thing about Verthongen is that I am fairly sure he could provide cover at LB. Probably not in a 5-3-2 though; he would need a left-sided midfielder in front of him to do a lot of the attacking stuff, I suspect. Would be a bloody great signing though. What’s Alderweireld up to…..? | |
