I think the point is that Daniel has moved early to commit to us which he should be commended for. If he'd waited there may have been many more offers coming in to him but he makes clear in his interview that he loves it here. Fair play to the guy and he's already my Player of the Season for 2026/27 🙂

Maybe.

I think my point is he hasn't signed for us because he loves it here, he has signed because we have financially compensated him at the rate he desires. Loving it here obviously hasn't done any harm, he ain't signing if he didn't want to be here, but if let's say Brentford had offered to double his wages on a four year deal and a starting berth in the PL, do you think he'd think twice?

his £125k a week wages or whatever it is are not an easy pick up though.

Personally, I couldn't recommend him high enough, but there have been a few on here suggesting we would have been better spending the money on an outfield player...perhaps those clubs might think the same? I'm surprised Newcastle have not bought him, but I guess they don't have the CL money so may need to go a little cheaper on a reserve keeper next season.

He's a very good keeper, but I'd question his attitude - he seemed happy to be a bit part player for more money rather than play week in week out for less.

Peretz on the other hand seems to want to play...

I've heard that the players are on a massive promotion bonus.  Might persuade 1 or 2 to stay and give it another go.

Must have been a factor in Peretz signing.

A massive bonus will pale into insignificance compared to a PL wage. If players get a PL offer they are probably not going to say no. Of course, if they are under contract, they have no choice but to stay until we sell them. If they aren't, we are still an attractive option as we can pay more than most of the other championship clubs.

Anyone know which EFL regulation we've broken by signing a player before the transfer window opens on 15th June? Asking for a Middlesbrough friend... ;)

You can stay at saints on £60k a week and play in the Championship or earn an extra £3m to do the same job, at Newcastle, playing in the PL and the CL. It's an absolute no brainer.

Didn't Gordon sign for Barca a couple of weeks ago?

Agree but we'll never know and nor will Daniel because he's made his commitment so early in the summer.

If you are coin operated....

Some people aren't they're operated by success and understand that with success comes money rather than chasing the money and hoping to stay successful.

From a media perspective, you'd want to put these great positive news stories out separately not all at once. It's a long summer with very little to announce. Dropping them all in a day seems silly - even if they are all done.

Not if you have a narrative to overturn and season tickets to sell.

I wonder if doing the signing now alleviates/ helps with the new financial rules. Spend now, means we’re not affecting the post June new rules.

great signing!

Possibly, although there’s two months til the start of the season - he’s signed very early if what he *actually* wants is the biggest pay day. I’m not suggesting that money isn’t an issue of course, and I’m sure Saints are paying him a very decent wage; but given that he’s not played consistently for some time before January, playing for a club and coach that rate him has also got to be a factor.

No, that's Will Salt on his Scouting for Beginners retraining course.

If you can see him, tell him he's failed.

Fuck it. Just keep all the players and sign no one this summer.

I think that is Dragan and Tonda's foundation plan.  As many of the fuming first team as possible, with a few quality additions and loans.

I think Charles might go and possibly Jander but I do wonder if we can persuade the others for one year

It isnt. I said a few days ago he isnt even really an established top 6 championship player yet, let alone ready for the premier league. He wasnt first choice for us last season and rightly so. He's obviously got something, scored some cracking and important goals and still only young so YHGTI but i dont see him getting much game time in the premier league next season if he moves on. His hype is much greater than his output so far.

Thus the reason i said Everton as they have over paid for Dibling! Shea has great potential, did more for us than Dibs, scored very important goals ( 1 even againt PL) and has the physicalitiy to handle the PL.

Yes 50 mil was a bit of wishful thinking, but 40+ mil for Dibs who did very little on the pitch, gives me hope we can get good monies for a top young cm. I am a fan of both players and hope they can have great footballing careers. I hope Shea stays, more goals of the season please 🙏

Genuinely think Peretz signing early might be the catalyst for others to consider staying. Big signing for so many reasons.

Either way, there are fans out there now that’ll be bashing one out over this news and what it could mean 😂

I know we are biased and it doesn't often work out but given the choice between being a squad player somewhere like Everton or the star player in a team where I'm settled and where we have an excellent chance of promotion I would genuinely be tempted by it. He seems like the type of personality who would enjoy that. Given imo it's likely that Peretz, Bree, manning, Stephens, fellows, Matsuki, Stewart, Larin, Azaz are going to be here. If they have the correct mentality that isn't something I'd want to miss out on.
