Totally out of the blue! I like what I've seen of Meghoma but he's not near playing and having an impact this year and so to get £10m which allows us to invest towards more immediately impactful players is a good deal for us.
Thats great business. We hardly paid a thing for him so in a couple of seasons we have banked about £9m profit off a youth player. Stick a sell on clause in there too and youre laughing. Am I right in thinking he only has a year left on his deal and is stalling over a new contract due to playing time? Was this Meghoma or someone else?
Yep; didn't he refuse a new contract this summer, hence why he's not been involved in 1st team pre-season? Shame to lose another talent, but it is what it is, that's very good money all things considered.
I'm getting the impression that the next 12 hours or so are going to be mental. Not just for us either.
I was expectantly waiting for news on outgoings, but Meghoma didn't cross my mind. The turkish window is open later than ours so I don't think Onuachu will be on the move. But you'd think moves, even if loans, would be on the cards for ABK and Sulemana - depending on his injury.
Yeah hard to fault the window if it pans out as expected (no last minute unforeseen departures and Ramsdale and Cornet sign) Still very unlikely we survive but there was just too much to do in a single window
Yeah Onuachu could still go in the next few days. You’d hope we would know today if that was the case though so if we wanted to spend any money we get for him we could
Didn’t Meghoma only have a year left on his deal? Seems a very good fee, but also shows just how highly rated he is
Toxicity is a bit strong init? I don't see the fanbase as that at all. Do you speak to many Saints fans outside of the internet?
But you are on record as largely ignoring the internet and especially the transfer threads. Fair play to you in that regard. Since we are currently talking about saints on the internet as fans it makes the second question rather moot in my mind. Of course saints fans outside the internet are more mild. Everyone is more mild about pretty much every issue outside of the internet. It’s what the politics thread can get so bad (and I’m aware I don’t always help in that regard)
The modern world is basically information overload. Nowadays we find ourselves 'refreshing' pages and trawling social media looking for snippets of information about things that we have no control over. It's not healthy. It takes me 30 minutes to decide on a film to watch nowadays - too many options lead to indecision
It has filtered to all areas of life and causing problems everywhere Annoyance over things like this are small fry in the grand scheme of the information overload problems and I’m a massive victim of it as well
