Good lord... I’d banished that one years ago until you just mentioned it!

Double Carrillo update today. This time linked with a swap deal for Mady Camara (22 year old Defensive midfielder, linked with Newcastle & Watford recently). Speculative at best. Source: http://sportwitness.co.uk/southampton-looking-sign-midfielder-forward-go-way/

Were we linked with him last summer? Rings a bell.

Everton as well. But with football you just don’t know. I figure there’s not much point in having an “Other clubs” transfer thread if we can’t discuss them.

Yeah, possibly. Was just giving SNSUN the current pecking order. Always thought it was odd he didn't go back out.

Assuming Obafemi goes out on loan, definitely N'Lundulu or Barnes. (I'd imagine Barnes could get a loan move too, as he's 22).

Villa certainly not wasting any time. They've just announced Wesley Moraes for £22m. Following on from El Ghazi / Hause / Jota signings. Working on Mings & Kalvin Phillips signings next. Intrigued to see how they get on next season.

Do you think Berty is more likely to go of the 2? Wonder if it's for the first team or a scholar?

It's SaintsWeb in the summer mate. People will jump on you for having an opinion, not having an opinion, or anything in-between

Looks like the Saliba link won't be happening...

Villa close to spending big on new striker from Belgium.

I want MLG to come on here to say that actually he came from Liege via Paris, then technically goes to the AFCON & then he's coming back to Southampton, so that ticket is actually invalid and won't work.

Doubts over Monk's Birmingham future....

I'm just happy Ralph is in-charge and will decide what's best - Especially since he's had good chance to look at both of them (& Vokins in training) last season. I'm not remotely surprised we may have to sell a player we wouldn't ideally need to sell in order to raise finance. The Echo article mentioned we may wait until the end of the window, but we would need to spend that money prior to that.

I *think* the theory is if Berty goes, we wouldn’t recruit another left-back.

Agree. An interesting dilemma. We’ve already discussed the Vokins aspect on here. The biggest question from this article is how much would we get IF Berty left? As that (I assume) would go into reinvesting into other positions. The article indicates not a huge fee. I think in that case it’s not worth selling him. I suppose it all comes down to what Ralph thinks. I’ve also always been curious who would want Berty in the top end of the Prem (as everyone is obsessed with young fullbacks now).

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/06/12/aston-villa-target-leeds-united-midfielderkalvin-phillips-14m/?WT.mc_id=tmg_share_tw Nothing mentioned about Targett.

Mane's YouTube video was scuffy, IIRC.

Pretty much what I said too. Hard to sign a ‘Targett replacement’ who’s got real potential to challenge Berty for £10m. Vokins stepping up would mean we’d have an extra £10m to put down on a striker or centre-back.
