Lee On Solent Saint

He didn't play a competitive game for Spain. Pretty sure under FIFA rules that means you can 'switch' nations if you have some kind of link to another. Besides, don't think Catalonia is a FIFA ratified nation or area.

MLG alert

Happens pretty often between City and their clubs, not saying we are in the same bracket as that, but if we aspire to be like them, its possible that Rasmus and co think its something they want to develop.

Possibly heading to Turkey on loan?

Tend to agree. 45m with achievable add ons would be my guess.

Why is it? What difference does the league we are in matter? Lavia has proved he is a Premier League player, not some kid who has just played a year in the Championship.

If this was played out the other way, and he was already a Liverpool player, and say Real Madrid wanted him, there is absolutely no way Liverpool would sell for anything less than 50m.

I don't mind where people come from that support us. Would rather see Saints shirts in town than the fake plastics from other clubs. Am originally from Southampton, Sholing/Thornhill. Only moved here because my girlfriend, now wife was living here, ironically she is from Calmore originally. I cannot abide having a PO postcode and would probably move back if given the chance.

Whilst we are linked with a player that Leicester want to move on because they have signed Winks. I think Winks will be a tidy player for them.

The very first Saints team put out in 1885 would comfortably beat last season's pathetic bunch.

Diallo shouldn't be anyway near the team even in the Championship. People laugh at players like Winks and claim he isn't Premier League quality, yet he still played for Spurs and has a handful of England caps. I suspect if we had players like him and Coady, we might not have been relegated. We chose chasing profits over getting good experienced players in, and that ultimately cost us our Premier League place.

Winks will be decent in the Championship. Would rather we have a player like that than Diallo.

Charming

Exactly the sort of signing we need, and exactly the sort of signing we needed last season.

I remember the game well. You could actually feel the hatred in each part of the ground.

I think he suffered by association to Jones. Failing manager brings in an uninspiring signing from his former club for peanuts. It was never going to work for him in the Premier League. I would expect a lot more from him now that we are in a League where he has spent the majority of his career in.

Yep. No future at Spurs. If they can convince him to drop down a division, a very decent purchase.

If there still is a major issue with him, I would have thought any subsequent medical would pick it up.

We seem to have developed a habit of not wanting to play want away players. I'd be surprised if the ones that are still here and have moves mooted, will be involved in any of our games.

And the absolute shite is what will remain!

Agreed. Just a bit fearful of what the starting 11 looks like on August 4th.

Laughable. Where is Manji with his SR drum, banging on about we have top spending power. 12m seems to me like we need cash, and we need it quick.

There would be absolute meltdown on here if we brought a 20 year old who had that injury without at least six months first team action.

I have a horrible feeling this summer window is going to be a very painful one.

Fuck me Fareham, if we listened to you, nobody is leaving!
