Jumping to conclusions @trousers

Our chief scout Tim Lederer, worked at Hoffenheim last season. Johannes Spors will also know the German market.

Sky Sports News say £42m

Sky Sports News say £42m

Blackmore say it is more than £40m

Well... it can now be how Caspar Jander fits into that group

If he has put in a transfer request he gives up getting loyalty payments, so Saints get more money than if he didn't.

Are you not going to wait and see what Azaz and Jander are like?

Jumping to conclusions

Why are you judging a defensive midfielder on goals?

Jumping to conclusions.

Was what I said not true?

Playing out wide he scored 6 goals in 25 Bundesliga games last season. Which is a decent goals per game ratio for a wide player in a bottom half team. The German Bundesliga is a stronger league than the French Ligue 1 and Ligue 2.

Might more than 2 days, might be up to 5 days. If he signs today, he'll have tomorrow to train, possibly even some time today depending on timing of when the deal is completed. Republic of Ireland play on the 9th and the derby is on the 14th. 10th will be a travel/rest day. He then has the 11th, 12th & 13th to train.

There could be things written into the loan deal contract that prevent that circumvention from happening and encourage them to buy him.

If it doesn't work out and Verona don't trigger their option, we could not use our extend contract clause and release him on 30th June 2026. So he wouldn't come back.

Like the Mads Roerslev trsnsfer you can't see everything that is going on. Not seeing rumours doesn't mean things aren't happening...

End of people suggesting Danny Ings (for the rest of this window at least)

For those who suggested Brownhill...

The contract they'd give him if they take up the option.

€500k loan fee €7m option to buy Saints contract expires in 2026, for there to be an option to buy for Verona, Saints must have an option to extend his contract if Vetona do want to buy so he can be sold next summer or he'd just leave for free and we'd miss out selling him.

I didn't. I said he is unlikely to play, that isn't the same thing as saying never play. Plus if he is ever on the bench, then he will need a squad number. Will Still said last night that had the cup game not been against Long's parent club he would have been on the bench. So Long may well be om yhe bench for round 3 in mid September and require a squad number.

You have also ditched our best player. Why? 🤔

Struggling to find what squad number George Long has been given. Anyone able to help? Not currently listed on here... https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/teams/mens-team
