It feels like they wanted to knock the price down over something minor - even leaking it to the press - and we didn’t play ball.
Well, with my glass half-full head on, I think it can't have been that bad if they were still willing to go through with the deal... just seemingly pushed Saints too far and we weren't willing to agree to whatever new terms they were insisting on. Maybe we know there's other potential takers still. Sure we will find out soon enough
Suspected that deal would collapse. Was taking far too long post medical. Bloody annoying though. Hoped the Mara one would be done by now too
Deal agreed between Saints and Strasbourg for Sekou Mara. Fee is £10.2m and Mara’s camp need to agree personal terms before a medical
Strasbourg expecting Mara to travel tomorrow to begin his medical and hoping to conclude the deal by the end of Wednesday
Just seen that the same private jet which took a late night flight from Lisbon to Southampton last night, is currently flying from Southampton to Strasbourg...
Wouldn't surprise me at all if he did quite well there. I think he'll be a lot more settled back in France. Think he could still turn into a decent player.
