Preferably a RB who is decent defensively (as well as offensively, of course) - our wing backs feel a bit volatile at the moment. Hoping Spertsyan goes through but also that we move quickly for an alternative if he drags things out too much longer. The closing weeks will be an acid test for Spors - will he be able to avoid the typical SR mistake of scrambling after our main target doesn't work out?

 Could he bring about a 9/10 transfer window?

🚨 A €12.5m offer from Southampton for Eduard Spertsyan has officially arrived today at Krasnodar — the Russian club are considering the proposal, while it remains to be seen if the player will accept the move #saintsfc @ArmenieFootball

A bit at odds with what was reported the other day - that personal terms would be no problem. It does seem that he wants to go to a bigger side although rather join us than stay at Krasnodar.

Haven’t we already got a GK matching this description.

Please get one who is outstanding with his hands and keeping the ball out of the net as priority not hitting Beckenbauer or Hoddle cross field passes.

We should give him a deadline to accept. Otherwise you can see this being Gakpo Mk II

I think it's safe to say the bid was made several weeks ago. All that has changed is time is running out and he hasn't had a better offer yet, so he's come back to the table.

Yeah would be pretty sure that Spertsyan was the #1 attacking midfielder target Dragan Solak refered to when he said we could sign in three key positions without needing to sell anyone.

Would imagine they have put a deadline on it and if they have indeed got to the point of making an official offer to Krasnodar then hopefully they have had some indication he is interested.

Not sure he's come back to the table so much as put the table out front, turned on a red light and stuck up a giant neon sign saying 'Come and get me big boys.'

The bloke is apparently in £24k per as it is. Offering him £35k per week at Saints to play  championship is defo barely something you hold in reserve until a better offer arrives. 
I hope he comes on board. Looks a player. Does well he becomes way better known playing to global audience environment. If he does not, then he was no good anyway and rats like that we don’t need. That’s how it goes right?🤣

Wouldn't surprise me if it was krasnador holding this up and advertising the opportunity to try and get bidding war a la dibbling.

we wouldn't of made an offer without being convinced he was happy to come and terms agreed.

Still has mentioned several times about getting the right quality of people in rather than just anyone.

What with Ed being player of the season I. the Russian leagues I'd guess they were hoping for a bidding war.

Random question what's the physicality and technique of the Russian league ? 

Any comparable leagues ?

Answering my own question, seems cross between Turkish and Belgium top divisions.

That is after tax, so the actual figure is a lot higher.

Gakpo's figures were pretty good indeed when it was reported we had offered him a deal, alongside Leeds and then, of course, Liverpool.

I'm not sure this guy is near that level. The comparison works in the sense that he certainly seems to be looking for a bigger club to come in for him. Fair enough, really.

Every summer we're linked with a 'coup' level signing, but we never manage to pull it off.

I'm not getting myself excited over Eduard until there's more evidence to support an actual move. It's all hope and speculation right now.

Wasn't Ramsdale very much seen as a coup?

Perhaps we should look to raid Sheff Weds now that they are down on their luck.
Apparently they have a very good French right back who used to play for a Premier Club based on the South Coast who's ex Chairman is a relative of their star centre forward😆

Not really. Didn't have any other suitors at the time and the issue was mostly whether Arsenal would let him go for a reasonable fee rather than holding out for silly money (and to some degree whether Ramsdale would be willing to dice with relegation again). But it's not as if we won against multiple other offers.

Eduard if your reading this forum.

Just know I've read a book on the Armenian genocide and completely am on your side.

Please note that doesn't mean I'm tolerant of a Kardashian except the younger fit one (authors note, this fitter one is actually a product of plastic surgery a south Korean would be proud of).

Also a plus side is we are not receiving rockets from Ukraine and not having biblical floods like you've just had.

You'd piss Stoke away

These affairs are not straightforward. Payments are made through third person companies and other things like 'image rights' are traded as well. These are not simple employment contracts.

100% but alot of people seem to think it's a cash transfer gig.

We will agree terms and someone in sports republic will carry it on their balance sheet (hey gozteppe) which will be off set by a owners injection of funds or some such Redknapp skills

No, they didn’t.

Firstly, the post was not in English. Therefore, they didn’t say ‘it was after tax’ which is English wording.

Secondly, giving an offer after tax would be most unusual. It would be almost certain that the offer the club gave to the player was before tax.

who are they, can they validate it, or are they playing for krasnador ?

No idea, but if they're saying a net "salary" of EUR 1,900,000 then grossed up it's something like 3,100,000. In GBP that's around 2,700,000, or 52k a week gross. I can't see us committing to that sort of wage in the Champ.

Let's think of it like this way.

Still tried to get him last year at Lens.

The biggest issue we have at the club is we don't have a goal scoring and assisting midfielder.

52k if you think the player can deliver goals is a still even more so when you've got rid of KWP, Sully,TP wages which is guess is over 120k

He absolutely cooked in the game earlier v Orenburg

1 Shot 0.05 xG

16/20 (80%) passes

39 touches 1 in opposition box

1/1 (100%) successful dribbles

Overall 7.6 rating

I could certainly see that. Newcastle covering Ramsdale's wages and the payment for the season would more than cover that.
