Did they? How exactly did they word it? There is a significant difference between "bid accepted" and "done deal".

That is from yesterday and it states a fee hasn't been agreed, Sky today claim to have new news that a fee close to £18m is close to being agreed. Things may have moved on since yesterday Boss! New news often (but not always) trumps old news

May need to change thread title to £18m... SKY SOURCES: @AFCAjax close to agreeing £18m deal with @SouthamptonFC for Dusan Tadic. #SSN

In what article did they say that?

Basel have seemingly signed their replacement... http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2018/official-lyon-sell-aldo-kalulu-to-fc-basel-for-e2-1m/ Dominos now possibly falling into place. That is why some transfers take longer!

Why are you making sweeping generalisations? (plus he is a Norwegian international )

Accidental Partridge...

He'd need to maintain it for an entire season in order to get a big move, but it is clear he is a very good player. Strength on the ball, dribbling, ball control, tackling, passing all at a very good level.

All you needed to do was be patient for 4 more hours...

It will be every summer window from now on, in order to prevent situations like we had with van Dijk not playing during August.

The wage bill in the last accounts highlights we must be paying a lot of players a lot more than £40k p/w. Some of our youth academy products have been reportedly been on more than that.

I doubt it is that small a wage. Pretty tiny in PL terms.

Sore

What about the journalists that have said they is no release clause?

Who did they sign that was better than Wanyama & van Dijk?

Not a problem, because for that to happen he'd have to play exceptionally well for Saints... so Saints would benefit.

Slaughter

Would you like a back massage? That isn't really relevant, as him moving to Wolves (regardless of being contracted to Sporting Lisbon or not) shows players can sign for a new club whilst at the World Cup.

Hey Boss! This doesn't really hold water when other players have been transferred whilst at the World Cup. For example... Rui Patricio to Wolves on 18th June

His dad wore such short shorts it is amazing Angus was conceived!
