Has his form, pace etc. dropped off a cliff, or is he still the player we had before, but in a faltering side? Two years left on his contract, so Spurs still hold some cards, and £100k a week by all accounts, will limit suitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Corbyn Posted 2 July, 2021 Share Posted 2 July, 2021 1 minute ago, skintsaint said: Well if he is linked with Belgium clubs his demands cant be that high. Presumably because moves are already being made that way. His options are going to be 1. head home, 2. go somewhere for money/fame/fun (e.g. USA) or 3. play for a club like us who are lower down the league. The only reason he's likely to want to do 3 is if he wants to play in the Qatar world cup and keep his levels up, otherwise we're not really a very attractive proposition.

An agreement in principle is not the agreement. Nor is it registered with the governing bodies until July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly signed an agreement before July. Doesn’t matter when it starts, he signed it in May. Which is what the original poster said, before you jumped all over it trying to be the pedantic bore you always are. Im sure you’ll post something back, missing the point again.

Could have been signed in February for all we know and only posted on the website in a May. All they had to do was scan the contract whenever they wanted and preset the email to send to the FA 1st July. I'm pretty certain they would have facilitated it so Theo wouldn't have had to make a specific appointment to go in and sign a contract on 1st July.

I think the words "never heard of him before" are probably a clue (but then you never were much good at reading what people wrote were you). And yes it was an actual link, came from Mercato? and popped up on Google News with quotes from his Agent (though not specifically about Saints). I think this is a link to the Article I read, seems like Leicester are pursuing and Newcastle were interested. https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/southampton-fc-news/southampton-saints-st-marys-stadium-ralph-hasenhuttl-brais-mendez-celta-vigo/amp/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
