How does getting him on a loan with an option solve the problem of other clubs blowing Saints out of the water?

That is the morning! 😉😇

We had this last week...

I think Aribo will be viewed as one of the two number 10s in the 4222. - Romeu with Lavia as back up for the number 6 role - Ward-Prowse with Diallo as backup for the number 8 role - Aribo, S.Armstrong, Elyounoussi, Redmond, Tella for two number 10 roles

Some people in the media are claiming he flew to Germany with the rest of the team for a training camp.

Deserves his own thread now as the rumour is more substantial coming from The Athletic...

It isn't a static 4222 or 442, it flows between the two depending on us attacking or defending and where on the pitch the ball is.

Paul Gascoigne’s just turned up at Downing Street with a fishing rod, four cans of lager and a copy of the ministerial code.

What about it is so inaccurate that it makes it not worth a read?

Outed? I passed no comment on the article, I just linked to an article people on this forum might like to read.

We don't yet know if £25m to £30m range players are out of reach for Sport Republic.

Not good news for any owners of Göztepe...

A link to the source for both Romeo Lavia and Joe Aribo... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10981085/Man-City-starlet-Romeo-Lavia-medical-Southampton-ahead-14m-Saints.html

Why doesn't it mean a player would be more likely to be at the club longer? Club's hands are forced when players enter the final year or two of their contract as value starts to rapidly drop. If Saints added years onto Salisu's deal that puts them in a stronger position to reject bids and sell in a later year like they did with Schneiderlin and others.
