My big fear is that if United do get their number one target Morgan has left himself relying on Arsenal and Wenger, the way they operate they will come in during the last days of the window and we will be stuffed! i still believe he will end up at Arsenal, what would be funny is if United do sign Morgan then get Schweinsteiger afterwards. Morgan to United just doesn't feel right to me, they just look to be hedging their bets and watching and hoping Schweinsteiger gives them the green light.......then again I believed Clarkey when he kept saying Spurs and Toby didn't feel right !!

and for those that don't get it this is exactly why we will not be a top 6 club on a regular, if at all, basis! No bottomless pit, club run as a business self supporting itself which is why we will always have to sell to bring in any really high quality established players who at best just replace the quality we have had to let go cos United, Arsenal, Liverpool and bloody Spurs come calling !

thats always possible of course and there remains the question of why AM didn't want to keep him ! Regardless he was good for us and that's the upsetting thing.

This........11.5 is an absolute steal for a player of his ability, we must have known AM are strapped for cash. Thinking we are morally and legally right has cost us big time. There are no morals in football at this level. And please let's not give it the "good luck Toby and thanks" bull cos he talked out his backside too, "I don't see this as my last home game at St Mary's.." Blah blah blah

From the info out there that looks to be correct but it's what we don't know or what hasn't leaked out that makes what Saints have or haven't done pure guesswork at this stage.

I agree, Les Reed is a football man not Rumpole of the Bailey !

Its such a shame that Sky Sports News has resorted to being a TV version of The Sun/Daily Star/Daily Mirror all rolled into one. With their excellent coverage of live sport they really should be aiming higher than this on their flagship Sports News channel.

To be pedantic we have actually had five good seasons........the rest of your post is right unfortunately !

i fear you are correct yeah.

I wonder if Toby and Les exchanged pleasantries at the airport as one arrived and one departed to/from Madrid ?

I just wonder when it came to light that he needed surgery ? Shame it wasn't back at the end of May !

That comes from you, a poster that called someone delusional for posting an opinion on a potential signing/target ? Right back at ya pal !!

In other words you, like nobody else, has a clue what's going on. Thanks for that then !

FFS isn't it about time we trusted the Koeman's ? They haven't let us down yet, the iffy players have only been loans so it was a no lose situation. If they think he is good enough as cover then I would take their opinion over anyone here.

You are a cheery soul arent you ? One of those have already been replaced and we have bought in cover for two of them. It was made quite clear from RK that the "Toby and Morgan situations" will decide our other transfer targets.

Or maybe Cedric can ?

I suspect RK was advised to be guarded on this one, especially if things are delicate with Madrid !

Another example of something happening at Southampton that nobody had a clue about yet the world and his wife seem to think they know whats happening with Toby, Morgan, the tea lady etc etc

If Toby wants to go there why would Saints be wasting time and energy threatening legal action for a player who is going to say "no thanks" to them at the end of the day ? That makes no sense.

I'm hoping Mr Blackmore has got that wrong and Les is flying out tomorrow to sort this mess out !

Far too sensible and reasonable for here

Or the outcome for that matter !

Unless they really are using him to put other clubs off the scent of their real targets ? Who knows, I just hope it is sorted one way or the other pretty quickly now.

Please let's get this sorted one way or another, I'm becoming obsessed by this transfer

If he seriously thinks Brenda will make him a better player and that he will learn more than he would under Koeman then he is living in cloud cuckoo land. Money talks, it also makes you look a complete cock as well !
