Yeah the Hertha Coach raved about him when he first joined https://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/liverpool-s-marko-grujic-by-far-the-best-midfielder-hertha-berlin-dardai-518902.jsp

New owners bringing better profile and bigger deal ..................wishful thinking

https://tbrfootball.com/report-southampton-want-emile-smith-rowe-but-arsenal-currently-want-to-keep-him/ Helps he has played at RB Leipzeg for a bit

Can always tell when its the weekend with @SuperSAINT

Getting ings for 20m a couple of seasons ago seems like highway robbery, well done whomever planned that

A No.6 so yeah

Apparently official according to the local Bretagne newspaper - 15mil euro and they already working on his replacement https://www.letelegramme.fr/football/accord-entre-le-stade-brestois-et-southampton-pour-diallo-02-10-2020-12629716.php their fans seem gutted and displeased with the amount but I think that is mainly due to 3mil going to monaco

Feeding back to Saint Lards link of who Wasserman was in the article Wasserman was looking at clubs earlier this year - you must remember the articles about cocu, koeman, bergkamp et al leading a consortium, they werent they are just clients. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/dennis-bergkamp-heading-star-studded-21964051

Yes if we got a new owner who invested in the team when needed in lieu of being self sufficient that season

Their sporting director doesn't seem too concerned. "4 players are missing: Fares is missing, Muriqi is missing, Hoedt is missing and Pereira is missing and will arrive in 2-3 days".

Interesting I think this is the dude that got Seager into Telstar and also I think Slattery into De Graaf. I would be surprised if the scouts know who we are going to buy yet as I thought they just were creating profiles and giving updates etc and the powers that be decide. If we arent interested in Veermans then what is the point of the scout being there last week ? Very strange all of this and his feedback on Sangarre doesnt tie in with Blackmore saying we didnt get a work permit ? A link - https://www.nhnieuws.nl/nieuws/273829/southampton-niet-concreet-voor-interessante-speler-joey-veerman From this article: (dunno maybe trying to not sound too interested before we bid ?) "He is not yet good enough defensively. The pace is still a bit too low and the switch could be better. He is Premier League-worthy on the ball, but without the ball he still has to take a few steps."

Genuine question - what type of central midfielder are we after ? I think it is too simplistic to say CM or DM, they need to have certain qualities for Ralphs system, how do they compare to JWP, do we need more creative or just a destroyer to fit in our system of collective pressing and disruption ? So I have had a look at the last 3 linked and compared them with JWP - personally I like Veermans decisiveness as i think that is missing from a lot of our players

Just found this website to help review these random players, quite good also show that statsbomb spiderweb as well https://www.footballcritic.com/

I just want a signing now, its exhausting

They've got the opposite midfield problem to us, too many

Surely there is some sort of checking with the FA before you move past a certain point in your transfer process. Think Blackmore is a bit compromised with regards to us as he obviously gets his sources from club so gets their view or whatever they want put out.

Voetbal International adds that Veerman does not intend to miss a 'unique opportunity'. It remains to be seen whether Heerenveen and Southampton will find each other in the coming days regarding a transfer fee for Veerman. Just realised we havent had a video yet.

Just to MLG you Pelle only became a full international once he joined us.

I read hes meant to be a.bit of a twat around the place, also think Marseille are keen

What Englishmen who live in Netherlands not good enough anymore 🤣🤣🤣 anyway the mighty ziyech played for.henreeven so this bloke must be mustard as default.

Isnt the essence of our system everyone disrupts and breaks up play rather than the previous destroyer type CM. It's going to be interesting for sure what type we get and how Ralph interprets a 6 type player for our side.

What do you think, jwp to sit and pass and this guy to go forward ?

Reckon we had sangaree on the back burner incase other option fell through hence a little slow
