http://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/guido-carillo-southampton-propose-20-millions-1353771.html An update from RMC (Radio Monte-Carlo). We’ve made a 20 million euro bid. The player’s father is in Monaco leading negotiations apparently. They won’t let him leave until they find a replacement. We’ll be lucky to sign him before the Brighton game IMO.

They can bugger off then and form their own super league. Unfortunately for them, that’s something that their own supporters in this country don’t want. I guess it depends if they prioritise their overseas fanbase or their homegrown one.

Jesus that is mental. I really hope the bubble bursts. A lot of insiders seem to think there is no way Sky will fork out what they did last time, and BT will be just happy to retain their existing packages. So unless Facebook and Amazon come in, the new TV rights deal will be worth less. Good news.

And they complained about the dull defensive football and the naive tactics employed. Anyone with google could've looked that up. But not those responsible for employing him...

I think a simple "red card" protest in the stadium would work the best. Simplicity is the key - Guan's posters would work best for a social media campaign rather than something do be done inside the stadium.

We might be interested in Promes, but is he interested in us?

I’m more concerned about the Liverpool game in all honesty. I don’t hate Spurs, but that Liverpool game will be painful.

Not a chance they will go for Crouch. Not a chance.

Get Koeman back

Full marks for effort. I think the most effective thing that will encourage mass protests will be a bad defeat on Sunday.

New manager without a doubt. Now what would people prefer if a new board was added to the list of options? That's a trickier question.

I wouldn’t even read my mentions if I was a player. Most of the time, it’s just a management company who runs the account anyway. Although Charlie Austin definitely does his own posts.

I’m glad the article highlights how bad Cedric has been. I’d rather play Pied tbh. Look at the stats - Cedric 0 assists all season, Pied has played twice and already has an assist.

In the NFL, every single play is reviewed by video. Of course the pundits disagree at times with the officials, that’s sport. Nobody said VAR would rule out controversy. Shearer is an utter idiot.

I really see very little there to be upset about. He doesn’t speak English (but is learning) so I’m sure when he feels he is ready and confident, he’ll meet with fans here. As for Les and Freddy, that’s a different matter...

Is it Pellegrino or is it a Wilson/Reed/Black Box signing?

If, and it's a big if, he is a Pelle type of player, then I think he could do very well for us. We need a target man striker (should have been sorted in the summer), players aren't often available in January, so perhaps this is the best we can hope for.

For the average person living in Monaco, there probably isn't a big difference between 10 and 20 million

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/01/17/southampton-look-conclude-quick-deal-monacos-argentinian-striker/ Given that no other Premier League team is in for Carillo, we'll most likely get him. Just hope it is very soon. It's nice to know that the club are "concerned" by recent results, no **** sherlock!!!

Too many times

Disappointed that we didn't get him, but hopefully he'll become a massive flop and it's one we won't regret letting slip away.

And sacking one who has made an immediate impression at one of our rivals.

That’s the problem... he doesn’t learn. We can accept that people do make mistakes, that happens in all walks of life, but the problems arise when you don’t learn from them.

That’s the way it’s looking. The only positive reason I can think of is that the club are concentrating on bringing in a replacement manager and will bring in new signings once that is finalised. That might be clutching at straws though.
