Lee On Solent Saint

I don't think we are getting another attacker/striker in now. Seems like we put all our faith in doing the deal with PSV.

Agree with this. He has done well to still be able to get a move to a prem club

Aren't they both central defenders? Do we need another two?

I would doubt that he would get anywhere near what he was on at Chelsea with another club. If he is being advised that, then he needs to change agents. Surely for the good of his career he would take playing over wages?

I agree with you. He isn't the first player to have lost his way at a big club, won't be the last either. Still think he is a decent option for a club like us.

Didn't we get a similar figure for PEH?

Not sure, I thought I read between the lines on something that the club weren't too happy with his progress. Might have got that wrong though.

Do wonder if we are cutting our losses on Small in that case? If this other lad is a left back

Weird thing to say when he would be a starter for a premier league team.

Send this to Semmens, let's fuck them over on this one!

Wonder if we might look at Eddie Nketiah? Probably not going to get much of a look in at Arsenal. Although would have to be full transfer if we are already committed to AMN on loan.

Brought a tear to my eye! Haven't got this emotional about a player since MLT's testimonal game

I feel quite emotional about this transfer. Absolutely loved the guy

If you look at it the other way, when he played yesterday he may have been under the impression that he was leaving.

They could in theory have a unhappy player on their hands if that was the case. I suppose if he was desperate to come here, he could go down the moody player route, we've had plenty of experience with that in the past.

If Blackmore is alluding that we will keep the money and move for him again in the winter window, that would be crazy. PSV have dicked us around on this, I wouldn't waste another minute on it.

To be fair, took his goal well yesterday, but like you say, I don't think he is any different to Armstrong.

I'd hoped we would have moved on as soon as their team was announced for the game they played yesterday. Obvious with him playing he wasn't going anywhere.

Anyone else feel we need to walk away from this one?

Glad I'm mot the only one "WFH" tomorrow!

Got a massive feeling that PSV are dicking us around

Just a bit odd that he is playing this evening. Surely if we are close to a deal all parties wouldn't want anything to jeopardise the deal. Am torn between thinking he's a good guy for not throwing his toys out of the pram, or thinking why the he'll isn't he in Southampton already?

I think they are going to sell. Just waiting until the last minute to see if anyone else bids.

Agreed. I was at the GnR concert at Spurs in July. It was so civilised I thought it was a garden party at Buckingham Palace
