So we can mark this day when Les said none of our key players are leaving this Summer and only those who in our mutual interest and that do not add value can leave. Similarly, we only spend when there is a trade up. Is that about the summation?

Agreed he's a capable player. I'd put the three you mentioned ahead of him so if he's happy to be a squad player and down the pecking order then I'd be happy for him to stay.
I think you're putting words in his mouth there slightly. He has said we won't be selling Van Dijk or Cedric, so presumably Bertrand and Jay Rod etc are free to leave if we get the fee we are after.
Agreed. Les was speaking in English - it's hard to understand why people immediately misquote him.
We get this **** nearly every season and we have brought in more then a few players.
I don't see it as the no mention of Bertrand meaning that he is likely to be sold. I just think he was quoting the examples of VVD and Cedric as they are the current flavours of the month with the media as far as touting our players off to every Tom, Dick and Harry goes.
I mean, he was hardly going to go through the whole squad and say "yep, he can be sold" or "no, we'll definitely be keeping him"
I thought he said none of our top players would be leaving?
It's hard to get exact quotes as you know what sky are like but from the article it seems to say as if he actually said that.
We don't really have that many big players in the squad to name them...I don't see it as the no mention of Bertrand meaning that he is likely to be sold.

About it...
As I say, sky could have just misquoted or exaggerated what he said.We will soon see, when Bertrand flips out on Insta
As for Bertrand trying to force and move by stripping on social media, I can defintely see him doing that.
I know we get the same stuff said every year but if the takeover doesn't go through fairly quickly I can see this being a relatively quiet window in terms of signings. Not sure Kat is going to authorise too much spending at this point. We'll see though.
As would be true of any player of sense.
Stephens has signed a new contract apparently. When will Saints show the Targett and Stephens contract signing?
It could already be signed and sealed, ready to be announced when they feel the time is right.
It might be. I suspect there wouldn't be too much delay announcing it though.
Lander may also be required to inform the stock exchange in China once a deal is done. Not sure about that though.
