Stu Man Do Posted August 21 Posted August 21 2 minutes ago, Mr Brightside said: Another take on the situation. 🤷♂️ Pretty sure this guy is where Armenie football gets his information from. If the guy wants the transfer he’s going to have to fight for it. Have strong doubts that will happen.

On a non footballing level, i hope Saints evaluate the religion factor too, specifically during today’s world context, of having people from different religious backgrounds (jews and muslims mixing together) and its not going to affect squad morale. Have had the case at work and they just ignore each other. Interesting opening salvo from Eagle778 1 4

I wonder if we'll have him sign his contract on the pitch? That was a funny saga, dealing with that crazy Hearts owner at the time iirc.

Wsaint Posted August 21 Posted August 21 I think this is the first time I've seen a club (if true) refuse to sell a player because they don't think the buyer is worthy, truly insane. 3 1
HarvSFC Posted August 21 Posted August 21 Said the other day we should sell Juan to Goztepe for £20m to help with PSR. Won't be £20m, but hopefully it's above his market value, as other linked clubs do. 2

Have had the case at work and they just ignore each other. I suggest if Southampton have any such players with such backwards views they'd be out of the club pretty quick sharp. If any person of any religion can't mix with any other person of another religion in this country, they shouldn't be in this country. 8
West end Saints Posted August 21 Posted August 21 I read Still's comment about international players needing to play at a higher level to be referring to player we are trying to sign rather than retain, but it was ambiguous. Who would the Middlesbrough lad replace if we got him in our recent formations ? Fernandes?

Yeah that’s rubbish isn’t it. The club isn’t his agent looking out for him. From clubs perspective, whichever club offers them the best deal is the club they want him to go for, whether he plays or not 1

Willo of Whiteley Posted August 21 Posted August 21 Krasnodar can be added to the list, joining Trabzonspor 😂
Smirking_Saint Posted August 21 Posted August 21 Armenian journalist Robert Markosyan 🇦🇲 on Eduard Spertsyan 🇦🇲: "Krasnodar, which is supposed to 'love and value' Eduard Spertsyan, is compromising his future with all sorts of false excuses. In reality, there is only one explanation: 'selfishness'"

Ex Lion Tamer Posted August 21 Posted August 21 I think it's going to happen. Just need to wait for some overblown personalities to get over themselves. (This is based on no evidence) 3
sfc4prem Posted August 21 Posted August 21 Galitsky is almost acting as if he is Spertsyan's dad or something. Can you imagine Solak doing this with Dibling? Coastal would fucking implode! 4
manji Posted August 21 Posted August 21 Bigger picture stuff Urope isn’t one big area where everyone shares the same “values” .Over eastern bit they have more traditionalist values. We are trying to analyse posts from over "that bit" through western eyes. anyway Saints carry out a physiological check on most players. cue piss taking because I’m trying to be a bit more thoughtful 🤦♂️ 1
Obstacle1 Posted August 21 Posted August 21 Just imagine if we get this guy and he ends up playing like Elyanoussi 1

Give it to Ron Posted August 21 Posted August 21 4 minutes ago, AlexLaw76 said: so much for having to shift people before signing anyone else.... We did sell Juan didn’t we 🙂
BARCELONASAINT Posted August 21 Posted August 21 This signing has not just happened, it has been worked on for weeks. My source that said we were getting a new RB and we would be pleased about it has said things took longer than he thought because he understood this was initially being looked at as a loan with an option to buy. Something obviously changed which is not unusual. 3 1
S-Clarke Posted August 21 Posted August 21 (edited) Not sure if Blackmore is guessing on that one. It would make sense though. He was a player who arrived with much fanfare, but holy christ he is easily the worst RB we've ever had in the PL. He's a happy chap, but he made me depressed. If we get a good fee for him, at least making back our £6m, then we should accept it and move on. He's even frustrated me in the Champ with his awful wayward passing. Edited August 21 by S-Clarke 5

It’s a struggle to think of a worse one. I can’t think of anything he does particularly well. I know he was playing in an awful team but even this season he has looked just as bad. Shame as you see as appears a good guy but awful player 2

Fabrice29 Posted August 21 Posted August 21 Interesting that Still was quite content to discuss signing Kabore even though this signing was already wrapped up. Maybe Bree off too. 1

This being the case what ‘values’ prevent the deal ? [ intended as serious question]
