The words 'false' and 'economy' spring to mind. Given £5/mth for most people is relatively peanuts (16 new pence per day) I'd venture there would have been enough people prepared to pay more to retain a quality level of service. (even if it was as much as a fiver a month I'd probably still pitch in....) Even if it has to be a "Cheaper/shared" solution, surely there is more than one option out there in that category? Appreciate its a PITA moving stuff from one provider to another, but if the first one is no cop, then just try more providers until we find one that isn't shite...?

Same interview, different headline... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/sep/01/danny-ings-england-nations-league-iceland-denmark-southampton

Indeed. I'm guessing Ings didn't rule out riding on the back of an elephant through IKEA car park disguised as Bobby Davro either? Make of that what you will...

By the way, the suggestion someone had previously of tunneling into the site via bookmarking an existing thread does seem to boost one's chances of getting in...

Any chance of an update Mr Grant please sir? Thanking you kindly @stevegrant

Salisu in a Saints kit.... This is not a drill...!
-
Indeed. I know I'm sounding like a scratched record but I'm still failing to see a valid reason why it's seemingly impossible to get Salisu, a Saints top and a photographer in the same room together for 30 seconds. It's what we and every other club have done for every player we've/they've signed since the beginning of time. Why not this one? I'm beginning to think rocket science might be an easier option....
-
The only logical explanation that fits that scenario is that he's got a long term injury. Anything short term wouldn't bother any other club that wanted him. All of which suggests we didn't do enough due diligence during the medical...? Or... We knew he was crocked but decided it was better to get him now while we can...?

Plausible

I get all that but you've got to admit that the absence of a solitary photo with the fella holding up a Saints shirt is a tad unusual. No-one's asking an episode of This is Your Life...
-
Granted, but I would venture that the speculation and ill-feeling that the cloak and dagger approach engenders is more damaging from a PR perspective than just coming out with it in the first place. No-one is asking for intimate details, just what the general gist is. I would have a whole lot more respect for the club than I do right now if they were to be honest with their fans on my occasions such as this. And this is coming from someone who doesn't usually get bothered by this kinda thing.
-
If it was as simple / innocent as that then we'd still have seen PR photos / initial interview etc, surely? It's quite clear that the club have a reason that want to conceal why the signing gas gone awry. That's their prerogative of course, but keeping the fans in the dark isn't a very good look...

Source?

How the **** did they manage to get photos of their new player so quickly?
-
@LeG Any insight into the bizarre situation with Salisu? cheers

What? A football club posting video footage of a new signing they moment they arrive in the country...? I thought the done thing was to wait several weeks before a club partakes in such brazen activities...? #wheressalisu

WTF? 4 duplicate posts following a '504' error... gotta be some kind of record, surely?

If I order one of these for the club, any idea who I should make the delivery for the attention of? https://uk.polaroid.com/products/polaroid-now?variant=31388161736774
