He doesn't have a choice on that one if the club say no.

Not if Newcastle activate the option to buy.

Not probably, definitely. The article is a suggestion, not a rumour.

No it isn't. Clubs use it to play close(ish) to a starting XI for their first league game.

That link is not a link to Saints or a transfer rumour. It is a rehash of an Echo article (that it links to) that makes suggestions about what RC Lens players Saints could sign. So it is not a link saying Saints are interested in him, it is suggesting him as a transfer.

Won't be that high if he had a 40% relegation reduction like other Saints players

Wouldn't that kill the club rather than save it?

The first two wouldn't be near our first team last season even though we were appalling. They are currently at the level of 3rd and 4th tier loans. We have other youngsters performing at a higher level than both of them.

Using what mechanism could they do that?

Perhaps they tried, but no-one was willing to pay this summer.

Step in and do what?

£4m loan fee

He isn't 'new', he has been at the club for 9+ years!

If he ends up as good in goal as his dad was at Rugby, we'll have a star in our hands. Hopefully, he avoids his dad's injury record...

Why does that mean we can't be concerned about money going into Russia? Plus in any case, Gao didn't put a penny into Saints so it wasn't dirty money if there was no money transferred.

It isn't Solak's bank account that the money will be going from. To buy a player, it goes from Saints' bank account to the selling club.

They aren't 'unreliable', they do not write the stories. Aggregator websites merely list stories from other websites and in Newsnows case, they pass no comment on them. If the rumour is bullshit, that is the fault of the website that wrote it, not Newsnow.

Newsnow is an aggregator website, they don't write the stories

In what role/position in the 4231 is this addition for?

What are you blaming him for? They haven't sold or loaned him yet. Let alone have we seen the financial terms or if a new 1st choice is signed.
