Certainly more mobile and better with his feet than McCarthy and Forster...

If other clubs have made unaccepted bids for a player and Saints have a bid accepted, that is fending them off to beat them to the signing!

That doesn't mean we didn't beat other clubs to him. 🙄

Premier League regulations means any deal for Obafemi needs to be done separately. Swap deals not allowed.

They are level on points with Saints.

In what role?

We don't need a back up striker to score 10 goals. I doubt Long and Obafemi are going to be our back-ups to Adams and Armstrong. The back-ups will be Tella and Broja (plus Walcott & Redmond).

His parents are.

Completely out of his depth.

If Armstrong signs we'd have spent £32.5m on incoming players this summer. What about this deal makes it 'desperate'?

Adam Armstrong to replace Danny Ings, plus another young striker from our feeder club to act as backup...

Do you think it was based on feedback from his camp? Because Arsenal rejected multiple bids and then he signed a new contract. So Villa clearly misread the situation, perhaps they have with Ward-Prowse as well!

Do you think they thought they had a chance of signing Emile Smith Rowe?

That shouldn't be an issue, he'd get a huge wage increase at Saints.

He is out of contract next summer, so he'd need an extension first.

The medical is already booked for tomorrow, so it is extremely advanced for a gazumping to happen.

Why don't you ever play nice in the playground with me? 🤔😋

Probably A.Armstrong and S.Armstrong

No it isn't. Just took it to the extreme to highlight a point. Size of strikers doesn't matter, they play to their other strengths. Armstrong isn't being signed to be a target man!
