If Saints sold Ward-Prowse for £70m to Man Utd and added the vast majority of that money to their transfer pot and spent it on some quality players that improved the starting XI... would that still equal having 'no ambition'?

Long's wife has denied him being offered a new deal. Cabellero as 3rd choice for 1 more season is hardly a bad move. Have you seen the list of 3rd choice kerpers at other PL clubs, including the top ones? What kind of keeper do you think would be willing to be 3rd choice?

It would be a very big hole to fill. But in a situation where he did go for huge money, would you not at least wait and see who replaced him before writing off the season?

They probably will at some point in the coming years, but do you think Newcastle are going to be offering wages of £200k+ to players this summer? 🤔

Jack Stephens just liked this Tweet... 🤔

It was a Coles/Coals to Newcastle 'joke' Performance analysts moving between clubs can require a fee.

Will they look to then sell him to Newcastle?

Saints already have a mascot, they don't need to pay Shane Long tens of thousands of pounds to be another one...

Yes, some under 18s leaving make the list even longer. I wish the club just announced them all as they normally do. It is a pain to work out the full list for FM23!

I don't recall saying it hadn't happened, I just wondered if it had been done why it then wasn't announced at the time by the club.

The contract offer is listed on the PL website... https://www.premierleague.com/news/2637594

Retained list is now on PL website. It is going to be a pain to work through who has left. Normally the club list all departing players, not just the 1st team ones! https://www.premierleague.com/news/2637594

Did you read the post you just quoted? It is saying the opposite and that Long's wife has said the club haven't offered him a deal!

His wife thinks otherwise based on her Instagram account in the post above yours.

I think you need a new sat nav if it is making you travel 24 miles between St Mary’s and Fratton Park!

That bit doesn't make me happy if he doesn't overtake McCarthy in the pecking order very quickly!
