Always makes me laugh how he tweets things like this shortly after more reliable sources have said the same.
Firpo may well be a decent back up if we can’t get Williams. Rico may still be an option as Brentford are one of the few clubs who will struggle to match our wage structure.
Doubt it. Those quotes are rehashed from about 6 weeks ago, with no mention of next season. In fact, the quotes are in relation to answering a question about his gametime before the end of the season just gone. He doesn't feature in Ralph's plans, and he wants out.
Even if he does feature in Ralph's plans, I imagine it'd be hard to convince Jankewitz to sign a new deal on the basis of that promise alone.
Do we want a young player who has been open about wanting out? He doesn’t exactly strike me as someone who wants to play for us. What kind of contract is he on? It’s more how we get rid of him not if.
We'd have no difficulty selling him, but not for a large sum given that he's six months from being able to sign pre-contract terms with a European side, and he does have European citizenship.
The Athletic: Southampton are prepared to sell goalkeeper Angus Gunn this summer with Norwich City interested in signing him A fee of around £5m is likely to be Gunn’s price tag this summer.
The following players have been released by #SaintsFC: Ryan Bertrand Jake Hesketh Josh Sims David Agbontohoma Lucas Defise Pascal Kpohomouh Kingsley Latham Kameron Ledwidge James Morris Thomas O'Connor Tommy Scott
Wouldn't be surprised if we're having a look at Sekou Koita at RB Salzburg. Yeah, he got banned for three months in February because the Malian doc gave him some slightly dicky altitude sickness medicine, but he's 21, he's quick, he's a goalscorer and he wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. A very Saints-type signing.
Add Gunn to the list along with Elyounoussi, Lemina, Hoedt, Boufal etc. The previous boards mistakes still showing up.
