P.s. surely a mutually favourable buy back clause will appease Pep if he's serious about Delap become a City first team regular in the foreseeable future...?

£30m? Wowzers.... weird territory for us Saints fans! (Caveat: yes, I'm fully aware it's the Daily Star... #pinchofsalt)

And fans of the previous football club to play at Fratton Park circa 2008 no doubt.

This. Bizarre that we haven't had a dedicated transfer rumour thread this summer

The article that appears in (https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/jul/21/football-transfer-rumours-bayern-munich-to-move-for-frenkie-de-jong) was published before Bordeaux announced they had agreed a deal "in principle" with Saints. That said, even if it's 'old news' I agree it's odd that Saints weren't mentioned....

Blimey... That would be a first if one of my recent hunches actually came true....!

Cheers for the insights SG - appreciated 👍

Seeing as the thread is inevitably going off topic, anyone else hanker for the days where you could win an actual St. Bernard dog on TV quiz shows....?

A private jet just arrived at Southampton from Girona.... gotta be a clue to the other chap, surely....?

Indeed. Will be worth re-posting this in the autumn when the usual doom-and-gloom suspects start playing their "told you so" cards.....

Yep.... bullet dodged it would seem....? https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/bordeaux-king-street-administration/

MLG Mode.... What have you seen from both players to reach a conclusion of this level of certainty....?

Use '(sic)' if you're knowingly inheriting / re-using someone else's spelling error. Any teacher and/or educated person worth their salt would know that #cheekybanter

And the Daily Express predicted this week's heatwave....

Fair point

Don't get me wrong, I think it's more unlikely than likely, but I'm wondering if we've totally ruled it out as an option....?

I still reckon there's a chance we might get Ings back on a one year deal (just a hunch, nothing more)

Definitely feels there might be more to this transfer than meets the eye.... #MeansToAnEnd

Maybe Sport Republic should kill two birds with one stone and buy Bordeaux at the same time....

Booooom!

Because tongue-in-cheek comments potentially have more comedy value when they're more extreme....

If Truss becomes leader I'll have to consider joining the Labour Party

Thanks for that mental imagery
