The versatile left-sided player is undergoing a medical with Saints. However, Southampton are conscious of their squad size so require players to leave before Friday's 11pm deadline.

Nope Ipswich signed him at lunch time 😕

Jacob Tanswell - Saints fan first, athletic reporter second seems to think all is still going ahead

Can you imagine the insurance policy they would have to carry?!! Are you f**king kidding me!

He's crap without one of these

Agreed, and the great thing is Ramsdale is 26: It is possible he could still be playing for us in 8 years time.

I'm a bit concerned too. On the plus side: BBC of course means almost certainly Adam Blackmore

Maybe if he lifts the shirt?

Blackburn fans suggested he was better playing from the left than centrally

I think we should expect him to have a bit of a weakness with claiming crosses judging by the online comments of Arsenal fans

Body language towards him from the other players isn't that positive though.

Has anybody seen any further news on Cornet since this morning? I know Palace were sniffing around. Anybody seen him nipping into the barbers in Bevois Valley?

ABK does seem quite likely to fail the classic 'Don't work with dickheads' rule.

Quite possibly yes. But next week if he's still here and not going to Turkey maybe thoughts change?

Also true - but Armel did get on the pitch at Cardiff, and Russ has spoken well of him

I agree. But if he remains unsold, you have the man management skills of Russell Martin available, and a valuable German International full back in the squad you'd be a fool of a Chief exec not to ask RM to talk him round.

When he gets caught with a girl in his room during a foreign training camp the headlines write themselves

Alex Crook due on Talksport after the break if you're keen to hear what definitely won't happen
