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

So, Redmond was just quarantining and it's Salisu that has Corona virus...? (2+2 = ?)

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

Disagree in regards pre-season. We usually get wall-to-wall coverage on that side of things. Appreciate we're living under the shadow of the pandemic which will curtail the PR machine to a certain degree but I think the lack of coverage this year is vastly disproportionate to previous years. (just a perception so could be wide of the mark I guess)

This is getting silly now.... can someone give me one genuinely believable reason why the club haven't yet taken and/or published one solitary photo of our new signing in situ? (And no "first interview" video either for that matter). Surely something major must be awry for that not to have happened yet?

It's been relatively ok for me the last few days but today is the worst it's ever been

Possibly more chance of seeing Messi in a Saints shirt than Salisu the way things are going...

The conspiracy theorist in me is certainly thinking that something isn't quite right with the Salisu situation. Given it seems (by deduction) that it's Redmond who is the "Southampton player with Covid", it's pointing towards Salisu being more unfit / injured than originally anticipated or something has gone awry with his paperwork. (either of those would fit @LeG's "typical Saints" remark....). Of course, I'm sure there's a less conspiratorial reason that we're not aware of.....

Bang goes my theory of Jankewitz stepping up....?

Outside chance of a Jack Stephens call up....?
