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

The spitfire first entered into service on 4th August 1938, so might coincide with that anniversary I guess?
