No idea how to embed twitter videos (I miss the days where everything was on YouTube & I could chromecast it), but there's a clip of Hughes talking on the @SouthamptonFC twitter page about his plans.
Il Tempo (newspaper based in Rome) saying we would hold the advantage if Gabbi was included...

I would imagine signing Gibson / Mawson / Diakhaby would be much more 'us' than signing Evans.
Will be interesting to see if there's a change in policy under Hughes.
I can't decide what I want to happen with Gabbi. I like him & I feel he's been under-utilized by us, but I suppose it depends if he's Hughes' cup of tea or not. If he's not, then there's no point keeping him.
Yes, but the £30m/£40m price is somewhat laughable.
I'd start with a £4.5m offer to pay their HMRC bill and see what they say.
Grealish looks good but Maddison seems to offer more end product.
They've got Trevor Birch in already so they are starting!

Is your source the Spurs fan?
If he has a release clause, you'd have thought it wouldn't take long to activate it. (Les & Ross probably discussing how they can drag out a transfer that has a release clause)

I was weirdly surprised they signed Afobe up because I expect them to go crazy. I thought he'd be one of those signings to get them over the line in the championship & then they just don't take up the option.
(Bit like Billy Sharp for us, although I hate saying that because I loved Billy Sharp!)
