Those crazy Spurs loving Danes! Isn't this how it started with Hojbjerg?

You never know in football, but I just don't see him going. He had a fantastic spell there last time but turned down a permanent move there and wanted to get back into our team. Credit to him, he did that and some argue he's our best keeper. But why move now when he's got a year left on big money and in a year he can assess all his options?

Sign players with nice hair.

Interesting we’ve not heard anything about this by now. I reckon he’s leaving

Southampton’s Mario Lemina is set to move to Nice after the two clubs agreed a fee of €5.5 million including bonuses for the 27-year-old midfielder. Lemina joined Southampton in 2017 for just over £15 million and went on to play 52 times for the Premier League side. Southampton had hoped to sell the former Juventus player for £8 million this summer, but in the end settled for less, with less than a year remaining on the player’s contract. Was there interest from elsewhere? Lemina had attracted Premier League interest from both Watford and Newcastle but will end his spell at St Mary’s with a switch to Ligue 1. Why are Southampton letting him go? Even though it was always expected he’d leave this summer, Lemina has impressed Ralph Hasenhuttl with his work ethic and commitment during the first two weeks of pre-season. However, he has less than a year remaining on his Southampton contract after joining for over £15 million in August 2017. The central midfielder spent last season on loan at Fulham and would have signed for them permanently had they avoided relegation to the Championship.

Surely he’ll just leave us on a free at the end of his deal?

He’s involved with the team, but FF gets an official #UnSellable hashtag from me.

Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina is edging closer to sealing a move to Nice after he arrived in France this evening. It’s understood that the two clubs are extremely close to agreeing a fee for the 27-year-old. Was there interest from elsewhere? Lemina had attracted Premier League interest from both Watford and Newcastle but looks set to end his spell at St Mary’s with a switch to Ligue 1. The Athletic previously reported that Southampton were holding out for a deal, including add-ons, that totals around £8 million. Why are Southampton letting him go? Even though it was always expected he’d leave this summer, Lemina has impressed Ralph Hasenhuttl with his work ethic and commitment during the first two weeks of pre-season.

The central midfielder spent last season on loan at Fulham and would have signed for them permanently had they avoided relegation to the Championship. Since joining Southampton from Juventus, Lemina has made 52 appearances for the Premier League club.

Cheers for that. Pelle was a tiny bit like that, I thought.

Still no Ings / Lemina in training.

Behind a paywall — Can you copy & paste it, please?

Bednarek is back.

Bertrand / Sims / Hesketh / Hoedt / Gunn / Jankewitz Around £200k a week, I reckon.

Exactly this. Also to your Williams, point, if he’s good for us, he’d probably go to £25m after a good season.

Probably means we can get Williams over the line.

Because they got so far into the Euros.

Re: Vestergaard

It'll probably end up at around £4m rising to £6m. (or just £4m if it's dealing with Ashley).

No doubt we’re a bit short in central midfield. I know Armstrong can cover but never sure that’s ideal when he’s probably the best wide 10 that we have.
