Was just thinking this myself. Is there a reason this thread has appeared? A rumour perhaps or just a bit of fun "what if" speculation?

Has this potential move been "confirmed" anywhere else other than the Daily Mail? Only reason i ask is that yesterday I read that it was Nzonzi from Stoke that was the potential mover to Palace. Today Mark Hughes has spoken out saying he is going nowhere etc etc.. So is this just a case of the daily mail destabilisation machine clutching at straws as we get to the proverbial bottom of the barrel in terms of the player "exodus"? FWIW, if he does go then I understand the reasons why but yes it will be a shame. In reality i think any player leaving that has served us well during the last 5 glorious years is going to feel like crap but we move on..

Interesting insight & explains a lot - thanks for taking the time to write this up & very much appreciated from this corner. With regard to other clubs gutting deals done much quicker then i can only assume that either the player has very limited options, or it is a deal higher up the "food chain" or the player really does want to join that club i.e RL to liverpoo

Morgan has changed since he started playing for France....seriously though, the way i feel right now, I'd get them all in a room & tell whoever wants to go, just **** off right now. I'd rather play with a group of academy kids & club legends like Kelvin Davis than this bunch of ****s. They are a disgrace to the Saints shirt.

Sky news transfer centre news ticker clearly showing that MS & JR WILL be leaving the club this summer. I guess we either mis heard or sky sports news typist has cocked up?!

I know he is going to get an absolute grilling on there but fair play & respect to him for having the balls to face up to the situation & address the fans.Obviously the usual cliches will come out as well as people remarking on "what wasn't said" but am looking forward to what he has to say on behalf of the club.

You've got to feel sorry for the next signing thats unveiled for us. Anything other than genuine world class player is going to be met with a feeling of underwhelm plus a big dose of suspicion that they are only going to be here as a stepping stone after seeing how easy it is to force a move.

Classic Rik Mayall.. love it!

Its in the "Ings" thread

Its still there - https://twitter.com/LovrenDavor

you've jinxed it now! fully expect bids incoming within next 48hrs joking aside, did i read somewhere that the current exodus of players are all managed by the same agent? Could explain why it is the same names being linked & none of the others are?

Liverpool seem to be taking the transfer market by the horns, I just wonder if its all going to go horribly wrong for them(wishful thinking) along the lines of Spurs buying a shed load last season. Also, how are they going to manage the current first teamers who are going to get less game time?

Was there any confirmation of why he didn't play last night? Seems strange that Saints were quick to put out a picture of Clyne but nothing on Lovren (unless i missed it). Was he watching the game?

Apologies for bumping this thread... did he actually turn up at Staplewood to train on his own this week as indicated or is he still out on a "sick note"?

Its an interesting one for sure but although we will see slight increases in commercial revenue here & there I think we aren't going to see huge improvements for at least a few years & this has to be a sustained "slog" of a journey to convince potential overseas partners of our potential. I'm sure somebody better informed than I on here could answer better but given the Man City had massive investment & focus in global branding, you still don't see too many city shirts being worn abroad (if any!). Scoushampton, man u, chelsea & arsenal are all definite global brands but even man city on the surface are struggling to gain a global following. For us, it will happen but not quickly.
