Why would he?

We did not have an option to buy Walcott. He was out of contract.

He only has 1 year left of his contract, so a loan with an option to buy is not possible.

I think we need to be spending a lot more than £100 to £999

I've never claimed to be infallible. I'm not a god...

What they say they want initially and what they'd be willing to accept given the financial mess they appear to be in are very different things!

Would you walk out of a job and leave behind £12m you could have had?

Not sure why not on both of those points. Both might lose some important players. They both have big summers for recruitment like we do.

Why wouldn't they? Shouldn't supporters support a club through thick and thin?

He shares a common ancestor with a rat, like we all do!

Maddison is 'rat face'?

At the time I posted they were the live stats. Which is what made your comment I was replying to surprising.

Nope, those are live stats

Are you watching a different game? Saints currently have 71% possession! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61453539

He is not upfront on his own Currently playing 4222 - with Adam Armstrong and Redmond upfront Salisu at left back

Who?

He is only 17 years old. A 17 year old not being ready yet for PL football does not mean the scouting was bad!

How would you have lined up today?

Evolution

What would be the point in a loan? The Championship isn't a challenge for him, so where does he go to improve at 25 years old? It would leave us needing another striker for 2022/23 and then a bloated squad when Armstrong returns. Some may point to Elyounoussi's loan to Celtic and whilst he has been better in his second spell at Saints, he really isn't the level we need to progress.

15th out of 92 league clubs isn't bad For perspective... Pompey finished 54th out of 92 clubs!

Saints had higher league positions than 6th in the 1980s.

He is significantly better than Walcott. He'd be our best player if he joined.
