Coca-Cola Divisions: Alpay in Saints link

Former Aston Villa defender Alpay is being linked with a shock move to Southampton.

Turkish media reports claim that Alpay has agreed a deal to join Southampton for next season.

The Saints are reported to have offered Alpay, who currently plies his trade at J-League side Urawa Reds, a three-year deal at St Mary's.

Alpay is thought to be keen on a return to England after failing to settle in Japan.

i aint sure about this one,

if i remember correctly, he aint got the best of memories in the premeriship.

what about a return back to turkey?

Yeah he wasn't exactly flavour of the month was he. He is a pretty decent player and would do well at Southampton..

yer. he would do well. i think when you sign him, its the impact he might bring wether it positive or negative

Well we all know what the fans are like. Southamptons fans would most prob welcome him if he played well. But other supporters would see it as an ideal chance to get back at him and unsettle him and maybe the whole team. Me personally i wouldn't sign him due to the baggage he carry's..
